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 needs to make some harsh executive orders, fixing the court (adding more judges or removing them), disbarring Trump from running and forced jailing, then claim all the bullshit changes made by the bad apples are unconstitutional and be reversed.

He should have all the justices arrested and put in Gitmo indefinitely, then jam 6 Dem justices to the court and have them undo all the shitty decisions over the last two decades. Arrest enough senators and house memebers to pass decent legislation and ban Trump from being eligible. Then arrest Teump.and have him put to death for treason. Arrest the rest of the Jan 6th insurrectionists and throw them in Gitmo too.

Then put the structures in place to cover the things that let the Republicans set up a dicatorship so we can have a democracy again.

But no, he will.play fair and shoot himself in the dick so that the slide into fascism continues.

Now now, his hands are always tied and he can never do anything. He's the president, not a king.

Oh wait. Guess that particular goalpost has got to move now.

It's because it's only bad if the opposition is furnished with those abilities.

No president Left, Right or otherwise would relinquish such power. They'd complain about an opponent gaining it but would see nothing wrong with having it themselves.

I couldn't see any government shying away at a chance to have more power.

Pack the court and disbarring Trump would should be the bare minimum.
