Pedophile-felon insults a woman who shows respect for human rights, hosts war criminal at shithole in Florida.
Birds of a feather. Joe isn’t great about Palestine, trying too hard to be politically delicate about it I think, but Donald is absolutely going to support Israel without hesitation.
After all, only thing that matters to the Don is whether you can pay for his support…
isn't it like, literally illegal for a private citizen to meet with foreign heads of state to discuss policy?
to my surprise, there is really something to that effect...
"Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."
You might want to read the Logan Act
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
Gazan policy qualifies as a controversy. By meeting with a foreign head of state, he's interfering with Biden's ability to bring about the US's policy goals.
yeah, should have googled first. unfortunately i doubt it can realistically apply here though, the moron will claim that he acts on behalf of half of the congress or something to that effect.
I mean, he’s still in possession of documents containing our most sensitive secrets….
If they can’t enforce that, they’re not gonna enforce something half of congress breaks gonna regular basis
Haven't heard that before but Elon Musk and Zuckerberg might be in some trouble too if that's true.
If anyone applied the law pertaining israel that is.
Why?
Because setting US policy is done by elected officials… private citizens representing the US is a bad idea.
Especially if trump is making promises in exchange for help in the election. (Which you know he is.)
Hes not setting US policy and doesnt officially represent us.
and doesnt officially represent us.
Which is why he's not allowed to negotiate future policy decisions in a quid pro quo. Essentially, he's just made himself a foreign agent.
It happens every election, frontrunner candidates often meet with many foreign leaders. They dont have any authority to set any policy, and talking isnt illegal.
Logan act says otherwise.
Any discussion that undermines the sitting president’s policy goals is illegal. It was created for exactly this situation- political opponents meeting with and disrupting negotiations.
Yeah you should check out what century that act was last used. Unsuccessfully. Like i said, it happens every election https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna25800973
So you agree it is in fact illegal to do what Trump is doing?
Great! Glad we got that sorted.
Speeding is also illegal, even if everyone does it.
No, i dont agree. That act isnt used because it doesnt hold up in court against the first amendment. Its deprecated.
Yes, and it goes back to 1799
The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position.[2] The Act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799
Pic has Trump with Epstein vibes
That would track, considering the allegations that Epstein wad working with/for Mossad.
I think baby bombing is more disrespectful actually.
...what a pair of f*cking losers...
Where are all the anti-dem pro Palestine trolls now
It's about voter suppression, not improving US political standing. Do I think Biden and Congress could take better steps to protect civilians in Palestine? Absolutely. Do I think Trump would have made things far worse? Absolutely.
