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.”
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.
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.
Are you fucking dense? We’re already past the point of no return. We’re already being victimized by them, and you’re fucking rolling over. Fuck off.
He’s been granted tyrannical power without asking. He should definitely use it to get rid of those trying to destroy democracy, and then also destroy the rules that gave him that power in the first place. Doing absolutely nothing at all and expecting things to get fixed is so beyond stupid, there isn’t even a word for it.
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.
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.
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.
Has the ruling not fully sunk in for you yet? He could legally find a way to do anything now. He could make it legal and override the ucmj. The hired guns (SEALs or mercs), in this hypothetical, would not say no. Especially not from the commander in chief with new dictator-level powers.
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.
So they say, but they also just said the president had immunity for official acts. If Biden did this while at the same time urging Congress to pass judicial ethics laws, who could stop him? Hell, expand it to the federal court system and tell the committee to move fast and prioritize the most unethical judges in key positions and either the Republicans have to play ball with Democrats on passing judicial reform through law or the remaining sane judges reverse a few key decisions to unfuck our current judicial quandary.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kill them too. 🤷♀️
Also I think a drone strike would be more effective. Biden knows where they live, after all.
