Yet somehow Biden is powerless to stop him. 🤔
Immunity only benefits criminals. Biden is not a criminal so doesn't get any benefit from the ruling.
The ruling only benefits criminal Presidents like Trump.
Criminals have to be convicted.
If you do crime and don't get convicted, you're innocent. That's how the judicial system works and the Court just confirmed Nixon was right: when the president does it it's not a crime.
Are you hoping that Biden now sets a precedent by using his newfound king powers to assassinate his opponent? I want Trump to lose in a fair election and go to prison for a very long time. Biden using this “the president/king can do whatever he wants” would lead to an immediate civil war
I mean, 2020 happened, he lost in a fair election. He did do crimes that should have landed him jail.
Now what? You’re saying it’s gonna happen this time?
Hell no, this "When they go low, we go high, bullshit!" is why Roe Vs. Wade was overturned and if we continue that nonsense it will be why Gay Marriage is overturned.
The time for a president to not act like a king was before a corrupt court awarded the powers of a king to a president. The only way to turn it back now is for a non-corrupt king to break the corrupt court and then divest himself of powers before a corrupt king ascends to the throne.
That seems logical, but can we try wishful thinking first?
What?! No! This is like a riddle. You assassinate the Supreme court first, THEN pack the court. Then have the new Supreme Court strip the presidency of these new powers.
He has enough troops to hit Congress, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and anyone else he wants at the same time.
The irony it would be if he called the Official act, "The Purge of Fascism"
No one would try to bring about an impeachment vote, as they know they would be dead or disappeared before it took place.
Yes but my cabbage is still on the wrong side of the river
You have the leave the fox with it.
But Clarence Thomas keeps eating the fox.
Weird how if Biden uses any of the power he has to stop Trump from becoming Fuhrer then it will cause a civil war, but when Trump actually uses that power to become Fuhrer he will face no obstacles.
It will still cause a civil war. Also, that was a wild edit from “you’ll fucking wish Biden assassinated Trump”
I changed my mind about what I wanted to say, but was I wrong?
EDIT And I changed my mind again. If Trump is so dangerous, the only way to really stop him is for Biden to win decisively. Instead, he's behind in fucking New Jersey in the latest polls. If he wins it'll be razor thin, maybe only by the electoral college or a few counties, and then the fascist Supreme Court will give it to Trump anyway. Lose/lose, at least if Biden does something really funny before he resigns he could make sure Trump can't become fuhrer.
The forces that produced Trump remain and will birth a new "strong man" for the masses to get behind, and the GOP does another attempt for Christian fascism.
They tried that when Trump lost, people gravitated back to Trump
As if that’s not gonna happen when Trump uses said powers? Indecisiveness will doom America. Act! The Heritage foundation, Trump, and the Republicans do. They ask for forgiveness, maybe, but not permission.
