No no no no, you don’t get it.

BIDEN is not a king. Because the conservative owned SCOTUS will rule that whatever crimes he commits in office are not done as official business.

TRUMP is the future first monarch. Only his crimes will be deemed official business.

This ruling is just setting him up for a SCOTUS pardon, which they just granted themselves the power to do, so he can assume his throne.

SCOTUS gave themselves the power to absolve the POTUS of crimes. And POTUS already has the power to absolve anyone else of federal crimes.

Yep. Totally what the founders wanted.

Washington was surrounded by Trump-like figures during his Presidency and profited handsomely from their patronage. His administration only put you in the ground if you were a Pennsylvania wheat farmer trying to dodge a huge new tax on your most efficient method of commodity preservation.

Yep, I drew out a plausible plan in another thread on how that could work.

Arrest them on corruption, Espionage, domestic terrorism, etc charges. Either move them to an offshore blacksite, or “accidentally” kill them during the arrest.

That would certainly fall under “official acts”, and if it’s overstepping authority, well, who cares because even if they’re deemed crimes, they were done in the context of official duties to keep this country safe.

And then when the corrupt SCOTUS members are purged, fill the seats with those that will uphold that Bidens orders were official acts. And Biden can pardon those executing his orders.

This is exactly what the SCOTUS just enabled. It’s absolutely abhorrent. And Biden would never do it because it’s obviously anti democratic and would establish a dictatorship.

But Trump WILL do it. And the current SCOTUS will allow it.

Well if he used his power to destroy the republicans on the supreme court, then the Democrat justices threw him in jail, the republic would be saved.

If the Dems werent so perpetually useless, they would immediately jump on this to get shit done, then when republicans cry and whine, push them to actually pass legislation that explicitly denies this. So they are stuck between letting Biden do whatever he wants to and stopping him, but also dooming Trump and/or whatever republican candidate down the line they want to be able to exploit these powers.

But they wont. Joe and his handlers will keep doing nothing and expecting everything to just magically work itself out. And then in January we will have a fully unrestricted God-king Trump.

(Also it would be so fucking funny if Trump just died of natural causes before the election/ inauguration, the MAGATS would actually implode from conspiracy theories)

insert 2-pt font graphic of the 80,000 administrative court decisions passed under Biden that the SCOTUS just shredded via Chevron Deference case

(Also it would be so fucking funny if Trump just died of natural causes before the election/ inauguration, the MAGATS would actually implode from conspiracy theories)

If the polls bare out, Biden is going to lose states where Senate and House Dems win with wide margins. That, alone, is going to send the QAnon folks into a frothing lather and trigger a cascade of Trump Admin Constitutional Crises, as people argue that the election was rigged to favor the Deep State.

Republicans know they’ve got the police and significant chunks of the military on their side. So they’re just going to do whatever the fuck they want at the state and local levels. Trump can do whatever he damned pleases at the Federal level, knowing the Dem Congress will just whine and pound sand. And the MAGAts are going to scream about how anything the GOP can’t get done fast enough is being sabotaged by secret evil leftist sabatores, invoking wave after wave of new University pogroms and bureaucratic purges and police raids of liberal social clubs.

Jump on what? The president wasn’t granted immunity.

The SCOTUS passed the buck to lower courts, and those courts could draw the line at whether or not Biden’s actions qualify as official or not.

Or it could end up back at the SCOTUS, where we would have to trust (lol) that they reach the same opinion they did for Biden as they did for Trump.

Yes they did, absolute immunity for powers given in the constitution and presumptive immunity for all official acts.

They sent Trumps issue back to the lower courts to make a ruiling based on their clarifications.

Not until he wipes the supreme court and then installs his puppet court. Once that happens the senate won’t even impeech, if they know what’s good for them.

It’s all jokes, but this is the GOPs plan more or less.

They might not violently overthrow the court but only because they have silently already done it.

Next project 2025 will dismantle our elections. When 2028 rolls around, well what do you know, 99% of Americans WANT Don Jr to be kin-- president.

It’s over. The only thing left is for the DNC and the voting public to hand him the crown. And they do so willingly, because Biden, ~checks notes~, is old?

Biden will respect the power of the office. Peacefully transition to the Trump Administration. And peacefully walk to the gallows they have erected for him.
