President Joe Biden warned Monday that a Supreme Court ruling granting presidents broad immunity from prosecutionwould make an unchecked Republican Donald Trump “more emboldened to do whatever he wants” if he regains the White House in November’s election.
Biden, under intense pressure after his disastrous debate performance against Trump last week, urged Americans to think carefully about their election decision and signaled he had no intention of dropping out of the race.
Criticizing the decision by the court’s conservative majority — which all but guarantees Trump will not face trial in Washington ahead of the November election over his actions during the violent riot on Jan. 6, 2021 — Biden said it now fell to the American people “to do what the courts should have been willing to do but will not.
“The American people have to render judgment about Donald Trump’s behavior.”
Drop. The. Fuck. Out. You are going to fucking lose you geriatric fuck and SCOTUS just ensured that Trump will use his power to be a dictator when he’s elected.
If people will let a fascist win just because Biden is “too old” then they deserve their fate!
I believe people are going to do the right thing this November. We need to be vocal and vote. But no matter what happens, no one deserves fascism. We’re all still people.
Fascists deserve fascism, but they deserve to be the victims of it.
At the core of self-destructive ideologies like fascism is the idea that we are all better off dead. By asserting that anyone can deserve fascism we are agreeing with that idea and we are conceding the idea that life is worth living.
Something something paradox of tolerance.
We should defend ourselves from fascists who break the social contract of tolerance. However, if we preemptively target individuals based on ideology we end up with the same problem as the fascists.
Organizing people into a hierarchy based on political ideology has the same issues as a hierarchy based on any other metric. Each time the least desirable group is removed from the population the next group in the hierarchy is at the bottom. By the logic that the most far-right group deserves extermination, we eventually remove every group of people. Even the furthest-left group eventually becomes the furthest-right group by process of elimination.
Hard disagree. You’re making an invalid slippery slope argument. Eliminating fascists is self-defense. Eliminating other groups is not and therefore not comparable. The problem with fascists isn’t that they kill people; it’s that they systematically target out groups for elimination without regard to whether they are dangerous—and in fact they tend to target the least dangerous people first.
Also now that I think about it, eliminating fascists was your idea. I think that if they were to be eliminated, they would deserve it, but I wasn’t actually advocating it. What they need is to be kept far away from any kind of power or influence.
I didn’t care what the fuck other people deserve. I can’t control how other people act, but I’ll have to live with the same outcome as them.
Quit trying to justify the unjustifiable.
No one deserves fascism.
Biden has the power to do something now, but instead he’s using it to campaign. What good will voting him in do if he’s just gunna sit on his hands and do nothing? That has little to do with him being old. Not saying that I won’t vote for him, but it’s understandable to be frustrated, and people definitely don’t deserve fascism for that.
Spineless fucking pseudo-conservative.
Pseudo?
Relative to what America considers conservative.
show, don’t tell.
but you’re a pussy so you won’t. and we’re gonna have to see what TFG actually does with it.
Honestly, Biden has an unbelievable opportunity in front of him. Everyone’s talking about how old he is, but that just highlights how little he has to lose. He should take extreme action that is outside the rule of law in the name of the rule of law. He can do any number of extreme things to eliminate the current acting threats to the rule of law and then immediately submit himself to prosecution since he himself will have become a threat to the rule of law. Make a real example of anyone who dares to threaten the most important element of stable government.
Become a martyr for the rule of law. He would be cemented in the history books alongside other unforgettable names.
A gesture that has no meaning and even less significance
“To the violent, non-violence means nothing”
America is absolutely cooked. Biden won’t do shit.
Damn it, democrats. Quit being little bitches. For 30 years ive watched you roll over or play nice and its gotten us screwed over. Have the 5 or 6 Supreme Court justices who decided this hung for treason. Show a country that’s sick of corruption. Politicians used to be afraid of the stick. America quit carrying one decades ago.
He has solid justification too. I would not want that immunity to stick any longer though
The remaining 3 justices and the new ones would quickly undo this shit.
You don’t want the immunity to stick? Then show SCOTUS why it’s a bad idea. Arrest their families. Use eminent domain to take their property. Abuse your power as president to show them how fucking stupid they are being.
He doesn’t even need to do it for real, if he just announced that he’s going to hang them they would backpedal immediately
About a month ago I made this comment about Biden jailing trump:

People downvoted at the time but I knew the writing was on the wall. We were always gonna arrive here in 4 years.
FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT THEN JOE.
Get off your geriatric ass and do something…
All y’all are forgetting that if Biden does some wild shit, it would create a precedent and make it OK for Trump to do it too. Please think literally one step ahead.
You are under the illusion that Trump will be constrained by mere precedent.
No. I am not.
Like he’s not going to do it anyway. Foolish child.
But it won’t be “OK” to do. And things that aren’t OK can be prosecuted.
You’re expecting Biden to do your revolution for you lmao
If the system is as broken as you say that you need the president to commit crimes, get out of your armchair.
if Biden does some wild shit, it would create a precedent and make it OK for Trump to do it too.
How would Trump be able to do it if he’s dead?
Biden is above the law now, so he should just have Trump and the SC executed.
Every move like this gets them closer and closer to full on fascism, and gives them more and more power to destroy us and all we can do is hope the idiot democrats put a stop to it, even though all they’re doing is sTrOnGlY cOnDeMnInG their actions…
Except for this law.
IANAL, he is probably breaking other laws too.
Biden was a sharp contrast to trump regarding the law before the SCOTUS ruling, too.
That is what they are counting on!
“I know I will respect the limits of presidential power as I have for the three-and-a-half years, but any president, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law,”
“Yes we may be in a steel cage wrestling match. But I’m still going to follow gentlemens rules. Those tables, chairs and ladders are off-limits to me; My moral superiority will win the day.”
