> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > And you think HE had heard the term, “supply chain” before then? He doesn’t even know how to pronounce it. Heard? Maybe. Understood? Doubtful. But he does have a certain antenna for terms people are suddenly talking about on social media and/or Fox News, so of course it popped into his brain as something about which he could claim special knowledge and expertise. His first though on the subject was probably, “What, there’s a shortage of chains?” ---

> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > It’s a nebulous term that he heard someone smarter than him use and now he’s going to glom onto it like he knows what he’s talking about. Exactly. This seems very very common among know-it-all types with asymmetric insight. It’s funny ( and/or infuriating ) because I’ve been hearing the younger MAG-hats throwing RW boilerplate talking points around as though they’re sharing newly found secrets with the world. Too bad for them ( and us ) that these talking points were trite and dis-proven back in the 1990s…back when they were still in Pampers. ---

> [@Trump on his propaganda outlet](#): > > If a President does not have Immunity, the Opposing Party, during his/her term in Office, can extort and blackmail the President by saying that, “if you don’t give us everything we want, we will Indict you for things you did while in Office,” even if everything done was totally Legal and Appropriate. That would be the end of the Presidency, and our Country, as we know it, and is just one of the many Traps there would be for a President without Presidential Immunity. Obama, Bush, and soon, Crooked Joe Biden, would all be in PRISON. Protect Presidential Immunity. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Extortion, blackmail, traps. Goddamn it pisses me off every time he says this shit. This kind of behavior was never even considered in US presidential politics until this hateful, vengeful, greedy piece of shit got involved. I hate what he has done political discourse in this country. He’s trying to normalize every vile and evil impulse known to man for his own benefit. ---

“Protect Presidential Immunity” — how can you protect something that doesn’t exist? (Silly me, of course the idea is to convince the MAGAsses that the Evil Deep State is trying to take something away from their God-Emperor so that he can’t use it to Fight For Them™.) ---

> [@Odesio](#): > > Did it occur to Trump that extortion and blackmail are already illegal? Is a senator going to come into the Oval Office and attempt to extort the president of the United States? Donald Trump’s entire life experience has taught him that a fundamental truth is: _ **do illegal stuff, and nothing will happen to you.** _ In a way you can’t blame him for generalizing what to him is an essential principle of human existence. ---

I’m with you there. I just note that Trump is unlikely to base any of his pronouncements on a realization that extortion and blackmail are illegal. Those are words utterly without meaning to him (except as they can be employed to smear opponents). ---
