I sincerely have no idea what he's saying here. Police have a kind of immunity. The Church insulates priests from consequences which is also functions as a kind of immunity. These things are widely recognized to be a problem. They are "justified" by the stature and supposed level of responsibility required to do these jobs. The justification is thin and our efforts to dissolve immunity are righteous.

So, why bring them up?

Trump: But it's a little bit like the police. So you have a rogue cop. You know what a rogue cop is? Very seldom. But you have bad people. You have people. No matter where, no matter what. In the church, you have some people that aren't so good, right? But you have a rogue cop or a bad apple or whatever. And what they do is they make it so that you catch so that it can't happen and therefore everyone else is allowed to commit crimes, murders like at levels that we've never seen before. No, we're going to have to do this immunity for the president. If you have a president that doesn't have immunity, he's never going to be free to do anything because the opposing party will always indict him as soon as he leaves the White House. And you can't let that happen. You can't. Then you can't let that happen. You can't you take away all of the power of the presidency. It'll be a different country.

    This is not designed to rationally convince, but merely to appeal to some feelings of his followers. His judges (he and his donors own them) will translate this gibberish into legally binding terms, as we have seen.

    Many decades ago, in my country Germany, the Nazis were merely laughing about how their opponents trusted in, and kept on with rational and traditional discourse, and even passed on power to Hitler to watch him fail and "demystify" himself, whereupon they'd take back the government, for sure.

    Between Hitler being proclaimed chancellor and the opening of Dachau, the first concentration camp: merely 51 days.

    The “Liberal Arts” education is a suite of skills, philosophical stances, and information that has been refined over hundreds of years. It includes both technical skills and problem solving techniques— it provides a foundation for more specialized study but also for philosophical reflection. It evolves over time, but isn’t subject whims of the market or fashion.

    What is the role of Computer Science in the Platonic ideal of the liberal arts education?

    Until I arrived at the period, I was thrilled to be learning something about students that are debugging presents.

    I guess it shows that I'm 1) not a native speaker and 2) a German that is patient enough to wait for another verb to emerge, somewhere...
