I think it was Reagan who was behind the mass release of crazed killers...most notably Charles Manson, but, whatever.

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

Five US elections for president have resulted in the 'winner' not gaining a plurality of the votes: These are elections in which the winning candidate lost the popular vote to another contender but won a majority in the Electoral College.

An executive order is an order for people working in the executive branch. If you don’t work for Trump, it doesn’t apply to you in any way. Additionally, nobody working in the executive branch has any obligation to follow an unlawful order, even if the president does the ordering.
