So, would official acts as president be legal by definition?

yes, and further that any exercise of constitutional authority is an official act.

Would there be such a thing as an official act as president that may otherwise be criminal?

in the prosecutable sense? no. the president is no longer bound by congressional authority.

And how does the ruling protect against treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors (specifically, the past part)?

courts won’t do shit about it, congress will have to (lmao)

How is this ruling not in direct contrast to the constitution?

the constitution is toilet paper and always has been. scotus just wiped some diarrhea with it.

it’s been broken for 50 years

there’s no way to sell public infrastructure to the highest bidder that won’t result in a massive drop in quality of life. it’s got very little to do with your government and entirely to do with the introduction of bourgeois rule.

Ethnic cleansings in those territories are a fabricated casus beli for Russia ‘green man’.

there have been reports of Ukranian paramilitaries shelling the Donbas going back almost a decade. multiple peace treaties were signed over it, all aiming to stop the ethnic cleansing. each and every one of those treaties were violated. this is all extremely well-documented. can you even prove that a single of these reports is fabricated?

jokey one-liners: you have no arguments

well-reasoned point: I’m not reading all that, I have a job

if US support dropped overnight, reunification with the mainland would become inevitable. it’s a puppet state in the sense that it’s propped up by the might of the US/NATO military.
