The only thing that matters now is that the Republican candidate can never be allowed back in the White House, according to her thinking. Reid, who is a reliable source of the more unhinged takes on the day’s news, posted a TikTok video where she appeared distraught over the Court’s ruling. The justices on Monday ruled 6-3 that the president has “absolute” immunity for official acts – but not unofficial ones…
