TMZ dropped a pic with his bandage removed.

His doctor said that “chunks” were ripped off. His ear looked completely healed- and cartilage doesn’t regrow so that would have to have been reconstructive surgery.

I’m guessing if it wasn’t some one with a razor cutting for drama… it was a very mild graze.

All that is assuming TMZ is more or less legit. (Ie the photo isn’t doctored before the rag bought rights to it)

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.

Yup.

So, 100 is supposed to be the middle ground, and it’s called at 200.

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

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.

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.

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.

Please tell me you forgot to drop the “/s” ….

….. please?

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.)

isn't it like, literally illegal for a private citizen to meet with foreign heads of state to discuss policy?

I dunno. But I'm guessing they wouldn't if they could.

of course he'd hang with dolphins. They're rapey bastards.
