The people who didn't vote for Hillary because they "didn't like her" are to blame for this.

(she also ran a shitty campaign, but ffs...people need to be serious about voting)

And the worst thing is, Biden will do nothing about this and Mango Mussolini will probably win and we'll turn into a shit show.

Yay, 4th of July is coming up....
 
Not sure exactly what Biden should do. Veto? He can't.
They didn't quite say Trump can shoot someone on 5th Avenue but damn close. Immunity for all official acts. Each charge has to be individually adjudicated to see if it falls under official acts with Extreme Court final arbiter. Widest possible definition of official acts. Since talking to VP and meeting with Department of Justice are official acts, asking VP to block certification and telling DOJ to throw out millions of ballots are now covered as official acts. Basically everything from election day to Biden inauguration.
 
I'm supposed to vote for a system that is inherently corrupt because a former president wants to test its corruption limits?

Huh?
 
Disappointing, but not surprising.

Long live King Joe I!

I hope he exercises his new powers quickly, so that his heir Hunter can ascend to the throne when the time comes.

Pretenders to the crown must be driven from the land.

I guess Trump can't go after Biden now as he has promised.

And they will say taking all those top secret documents to Mar a Lago, openly sharing some of them, and leaving them out in the open was his last official act before he left office.
 
You know the sadest thing about what’s gone down the last 7 years or so. These people that support that criminal have procreated. They have actually had kids and are raising them to believe that this is how you are supposed to be as a human being. This is who you are suppose to act like….. this is how you are supposed to treat those different than you….. Act like this person and you will be rewarded. Unbelievably sad…..
 
I would actually love to hear from a supporter of that asshat. I would love to hear how they talk to their children about his behavior. Or do you just go to Old Navy and slap a wifebeater on your child and light some fireworks?
 
Ok, we can relitigate 2016 election until the cows come home. Not very productive. More critical is there are those ready to repeat. Biden is old. He is not progressive. His response to crisis in Gaza is disappointing. All true. So let's sit this one out and wait for the hypothetical perfect candidate.
Do you want Trump with absolute power? Two choices. Yes or no.
 
"Never in the history of our Republic has a President had reason to believe that he would be immune from criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law. Moving forward, however, all former Presidents will be cloaked in such immunity, If the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop.

With fear for our democracy, I dissent."

-Justice Sotomayor

Was Obama prosecuted for murdering someone? Was Hillary prosecuted for paying to plant false evidence against Trump? Was George W prosecuted for war crimes?

I agree that presidents shouldn't be immune from the law, but the silly crap they are going after Trump for is...silly.
 
So Biden has 6 months to do whatever he wants to do and he is immune from criminal prosecution. I can think of a few things that I would like to do but I wonder what Biden might do.

True. And they've likely had more kids on average than those of us who do not support the criminal.

He might be able to refuse to relinquish power if he lost the election by simply doing so many things that had to work their way through the courts. When he died, Kamala could continue it.

Theoretically, there are any number of things POTUS now can do to get around the system as we've known it. Trump very well could win the election and never see the White House because it's all playing out in our oh-so-efficient justice system.

He could send a group of supporters to the Capitol if he loses to stop the election.
 
It was suggested a couple years ago that Biden might expand the Supreme Court so he could load it with liberals balance the ideologies. If he wins in November, what are the chances of him trying that?
