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.”
Biden literally has the power to do something now, but is instead using this to campaign? Infuriating, we got you in office already, to protect against this exact thing from happening. Stop sitting on your ass and do something if you want the American public to forget the debate.
First off, he’s the one in office, not me. He’s the one we voted to in to fix this and he hasn’t done that. He already campaigned on the fact that we had to prevent a dictatorship in the last election. He’s had four years to figure out what to do. That’s the issue at hand here.
Secondly, he can now legally do anything. So use your creative juices, it’s pretty obvious that he can do something, especially now. Not only was Trump given keys to a dictatorship, Biden was given those same exact keys. It’s time to play hardball.
He is above the law and can’t be prosecuted, but others still can be.
Ex. he issues an order to seal team six to kill trump.
Biden can’t be charged for that. But seal team six is still governed by the ucmj. Killing a non combatant for no reason even if the commander in chief gives the order might be a bit of a problem under the ucmj.
There’s also the oath you take when you join the military
“Defend the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic”. Killing a political opponent might be a bit of a problem when a person actually looks at that oath.
The seal team would probably say no for both of the above reasons. Biden couldn’t be charged but others still can be.
I’m no legal expert, but could he possibly form a judicial ethics committee to investigate supreme court justices. On any evidence of violating ethics, he could sign an arrest warrent to remove them from the court.
The supreme court are the only ones responsible for their own ethics. We just recently tried to force this.
We’re literally a fucking joke of a country. Supreme court “justices” don’t even need any experience whatsoever. You or I could be a justice.
Jail the conservative justices, expand the court, have Trump shot in the fucking face, and barr any felons from serving or running for President.
? jail them for what? exactly? what law did they break? the courts would release them over night.
The seal team would call that an illegal order under the ucmj. Hidden couldn’t be prosecuted for giving the order, but the seal team would say no.
Get Justice to arrest and imprison Thomas and Alito. Nominate 2 liberals to the Court and get Justice to arrest and imprison McConnell et al when they pull their bullshit. Continue until 2 liberals are seated.
I fear that if we don’t start playing by their rules, we will have no more stake in the country.
All you idiots keep preaching two wrongs making a right. Biden doing this shit would just empower the next republican to do the same. Sliding into tyranny is not ok just cause your side is doing it against the side you don’t like.
The supreme court has basically given Biden the power to act as a King now, then take advantage and…
- Dismantle the supreme court, and start the process of HIM choosing who will be the new supreme court.
- Imprison all who seek out to destroy our democracy for financial gain.
- Forgive all student loans
- Change the constitution to codify roe vs wade
- Give all homeless a home by taking away property for rent that’s been on the market for more than 6 months.
- Dismantle or block the entirety of Project 2025.
- Make law that no entity can legally own more than 5 or 10 properties.
- Make law that no one that has been recently convicted of a crime in the last year can run for any office (much less the president).
- Force term limits on congress and the house.
- Force term limits on the supreme court.
- Stop treating coorporations as people.
- Codify the chrevron ruling that got overturned.
- Forgive all medical debts and make Medicaid for all to all americans.
- Delist any news organization that either overly exaggerates or lies to the public (ie. Fox, Newsmax, CNN).
- Let NOAA make their weather app they wanted.
- Implement the green new deal properly now.
Use the weapons of your enemy against them.
There probably more this to add, hut that’s just on the top of my mind.
The court didn’t grant him more powers to do things like this list, it only grants him immunity from committing crimes.
Name a specific thing Biden could do that would be considered illegal now.
That’s pretty simple, he could walk outside the White House, declare to the public “I’m on a fuckin’ smoke break bitches” and immediately punch a child in the face. This would be an Unofficial act of the President and a violent crime.
Ban felons from running for president.
Pretty good rule tbh
Also, here is me saying he should jail trump a while ago when they were arguing that a president could do anything:

People downvoted at the time but I knew the writing was on the wall.
ban them sounds good on it’s face. but it’s a state issue of who is on the ballet.
but here is another problem : while biden couldn’t be prosecuted for issuing the order, would the order hold up in court? you know the thing would go before the supreme court. would it hold up there?
i do like the idea though.
