If you’re trying to make sense of the SCOTUS Trump immunity decision (and we all should be trying to make sense of it on this, our Independence Day), you’d be hard-pressed to find a better explainer than this from Preet Bharara, Joyce Vance, Rachel Barkow, and Elie Honig.
If you listen to just one more thing today, please consider this. 🙏🏽🇺🇸

Editorial Cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis discuss breaking news first. Former New York City Mayor and Trump Attorney, Rudy Giuliani, loses an anti-Slapp motion against Georgia election workers he libeled during the 2020 election. Ted and Scott discuss the ramifications on the upcoming Trump mob trial. Plus, we discuss Ted's recent birthday and his getting closer to Medicare and death.
In the second segment, more and more commentators from the left and the right are saying that President Joe Biden should not run for reelection in 2024. Sighting the enthusiasm gap which Biden can't seem to close leads many in his own party to hope for a convention surprise.
The last segment finds Scott and Ted discussing the deep ramifications of the tipping epidemic. Besides being super annoying are there deeper, more nefarious reasons for this? Ted and Scott dig deep and give you even better reasons to be pissed off.

The pandemic and associated lockdowns gave rise to an acceleration in ‘fake news’ around the world. The phenomenon of mis- and disinformation takes root, evolves and proliferates and can cause real world harm.
In this article for the LSE, Pratik D. delves deeper into how public paranoia helps conspiracy theories to turn viral through narrative localisation, and explores the measures that law enforcement officers can take to prevent the spread of fake news.

After thorough analysis I realised that there are two basic and fundamental structural defects in the constitution of UN which are
1. Veto Power System for the permanent members of the security council of UN. Since there is a body of all stakeholders in the form of General Assembly wherein all member- countries of the UN are represented there is absolutely no need of Security Council to accept or reject the resolutions passed by General Assembly. As such Security Council should be dissolved forthwith.
2. All member countries of UN are not signatory to the Rome statute consequently some countries are not under the International Criminal Court (ICC) whereas all the member countries have to be under the jurisdiction of ICC so that peace prevails in the world.
. Due to these defects America has made a mockery of the UN as it is reduced to a puppet in the hands of the America. Consequently America with some allies have invaded several Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and looted these countries then leaving these countries after the loot is complete. Presently America with the help of Israel (both countries are not under the jurisdiction of ICC) is demolishing, doing cold blooded mass murders, devastation, destruction , displacement, ethenic cleansing, murder especially of children and women and genocide and the whole world including the UN have to be mute spectators of all this and nobody has the powers to question them because of these defects in the constitution of UN.
More than seven decades have passed by but the above-mentioned defects in the constitution of UN were not rectified. Non-rectification of these defects has created a very grave situation as instead of peace maintaining organisation UN became a weapon of blackmailing and means of invading and looting the rich countries by some countries which were having the veto power also besides these countries were not signatory to the Rome statute consequently these countries were not under the jurisdiction of ICC. As the result these countries became law per se and virtually became terrorist countries of the world because they were not answerable to any forum for whatever they do. Now the climax of lawlessness has reached in Palestine where total devastation, destruction, cold blooded mass murders, genocide, ethenic cleansing, kidnapping and rape of innocent and unarmed civilians is being done and the whole world including UN have to be mute spectators because of the basic and fundamental defects in the constitution of UN have not been rectified. This is the highest time these defects are rectified by the General Assembly. Let General Assembly wake up after decades of slumber and rectify the defects as proposed above.

Michael Brooks at Lafayette College on Feb 27, 2020, few months before unexpectedly passing away at the age of 36.
Michael Brooks (August 13, 1983 – July 20, 2020) was an American talk show host, YouTube content creator, writer, podcaster and political analyst.
Brooks was a progressive democratic socialist.
He did commentary for worldwide media outlets on politics in the Middle East and the United States. He had regular appearances on shows such as The Young Turks.
On July 20, 2020, Brooks died unexpectedly at the age of 36. His cause of death was said to be a "sudden case" of thrombosis. https://lnkd.in/ewEDy2zs)
May I share a bit of recent history with all of you? You might find it curious, perhaps even enlightening.
Below is a compilation of major media outlet headlines from January and February 2020.
As you may recall, the governors of several states did not impose lockdowns, nor did any federal agencies sound any alarms about “cocoa vid,” until the middle of March 2020.
But as soon as the media jumped on the “cocoa vid is death” bandwagon, they blamed President Trump for not “acting sooner.”
Check out these headlines and ask yourself why there was a complete change in the media narrative.
🔹2023 U. Ill. L. Rev. 1657🔹
In this Article, this author explores an underappreciated dark side to equating the right of confrontation with “liveness.” Confrontation should be recognized not merely as a right to specific in-person trial procedures but as a right to meaningful scrutiny of the government’s proof. As such, the right of confrontation will often be better protected through “virtual” forms of scrutiny outside, rather than inside, the courtroom, from access to witnesses’ prior statements, to a broader right to impeach with extrinsic evidence, to a right to impeach nonhuman evidence that cannot be cross-examined “live.”

A University of Chicago Law School professor believes that a segment of White allies and supporters of DJ Trump will engage in acts of political violence over the next 12 months regardless of the Supreme Court decision regarding Trump's eligibility to be on the ballot in Colorado, which could potentially affect his eligibility in other states.
His argument is two-fold:
If Trump loses and is stricken from the ballot in Colorado, the likelihood is other states will adopt the Court ruling and apply it in their state as well. This will enrage Trump's supporters, who are overwhelmingly White and professing Christians. Polls show that a majority of White voters, both White men AND White women (largest voting bloc) support conservative candidates and causes represented by the Republican Party.
If the Court rules in favor of Trump, and he remains on the ballot and is elected POTUS, the professor argues that Trump and a segment of his supporters will use the powers of the government to tamp down any resistance, protest or perceived threat, which may include the use of violence. On the other hand, if the Court rules in favor of Trump and he still loses the election, segments of his supporters are expected to vent in violent episodes.
In either case, the professor believes that some segment of White Trump supporters are expected to rise up in political violence.
