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.”
It looks like nobody involved in this story understands the concept of consequences. Trump can be now disappeared without repercussions. The judges that voted this could be arrested with their families and everybody they know. And Biden may be facing the same situation in a few months if he doesn’t do something drastic immediately. Is somebody putting LSD in the water supplies? I don’t understand how anybody on either side can think this is a good idea.
Edit: what i mean is the clock is ticking now, Trump already said what he’s going to do if he goes back to office. Unfortunately now it’s you or them.
Hey biden you are the fucking president right now why don’t you use your new freedom to do something
FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT THEN JOE.
Get off your geriatric ass and do something…
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…
Biden was a sharp contrast to trump regarding the law before the SCOTUS ruling, too.
America is absolutely cooked. Biden won’t do shit.
A gesture that has no meaning and even less significance
“To the violent, non-violence means nothing”
Except for this law.
IANAL, he is probably breaking other laws too.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 doesn’t even need to do it for real, if he just announced that he’s going to hang them they would backpedal immediately
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.
That is what they are counting on!
He needs to pledge to over turn this, and citizens united, put the us on a trail path
Anyone telling you there is a practicable path to overturning Citizens United, Trump v. United States, or Loper Bright is outright lying to you.
If Biden starts officially executing people, he can accomplish anything he wants.
He needs to take the gloves off. The traitors are literally acting out their plan for a civil war and democrats are waiting there bent over to take it.
The democratic party is complicit as far as I am concerned.
“We keep letting other people make the world worse, and no one seems to love us for it. What gives?”
We tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.
- The Democratic Establishment
I mean, that’s kind of what happened with the last civil war too.
In what way is this like what happened with the civil war? States started leaving the union before Lincoln was even in office, not 3 years into his term
IIRC, the secessions were preceeded by a period where it was sort of an open secret of what’s gonna happen, with stuff like future confederate generals transferring cannon stock to southern bases, and moving themselves and their families south, and the North by and large stood by and let it happen under the rationale that “we shouldn’t anger them, they may still come around”. To the point that, again, IIRC, the commander of Fort Sumter saw trouble brewing across the river and requested reinforcements just before the war, and was turned down.
Then after the Civil War, we treated the treasonous States with kid gloves and allowed them to openly idolize their traitorous leaders, leading to where we are now.
