I think you misunderstand. I just won’t be calling Biden “uncle Joe” or the like because he has all the information and power in the world to have brought trump to justice, but didn’t
How could he bring Trump to justice as a president?
Could've shot him in the face and then got a presidential pardon. Jokes aside, so many people overestimate the power of the US president.
I mean, didn't the supreme court literally make it legal for the president to assassinate political rivals? Biden just didn't have the stones to drop those fascist fucks into a black site.
I don't think Biden would want to be the one to start that habit
Except a MAGA congress gets to determine if it was okay.
How is it still a MAGA Congress? All the MAGAt politicians have become landfill.
This is how I see it. I doubt trump hesitates.
I read somewhere that decision only applies for that specific instance. Meaning it was only for Trump.
~~It's fun that your answer to fascism is fascism but with a guy you prefer.~~
Did you notice the second sentence starts with 'jokes aside'
I did, in fact, not notice that. Sorry about that.
All good :)
could have seal team sixed his ass
He has immunity and won’t use it for the greater good
Immunity from what? How could he use that immunity to bring Trump to justice?
Presidential immunity from anything he does even the injustice of forcing trump go through trial with judges who haven’t been compromised by trump interests and face repercussions for his actions from the last 8 years
Edited to add: when they go low, go low with them
The Court declared that a President is immune from prosecution when exercising the 'core powers' of the presidency. Not from anything they do.
If a president could force their political opponent to face trial with judges chosen by the president then that could be weaponized by future presidents like Trump or anyone like him.
You’re right everyone should just play fair
One simple thing he could have done would be to have not run for president again when he said he wasn't going to, making Harris have a shorter time campaigning and giving Trump a huge head start.
He can barely function from a physical and mental perspective. He should have GTFO the moment he could. It's a wonder we didn't have anyone younger from the beginning.
