Biden already worked under someone who had no problem killing US civilians Source. That escaped prosecution because it was an official act despite it being a clearly criminal act 18 U.S. Code § 1119
Didn't Obama also kick out more illegal immigrants than a bunch of presidents before him? Maybe I'm misremembering, but I do remember nobody giving a shit about illegal immigrants being kicked out. Then Trump came and people freaked out, as if it didn't happen under Obama as well.
Shit was weird.
Obama was literally known as deporter-in-chief and he deported more in his in either of his terms than Trump did in his four years Source. But be careful some smart ass is probably gonna start screaming you can’t say both sides, and you’re a foreign asset trying to depress the vote because they can’t be bothered to read.
From my perspective it was less about the numbers and more about how vocal Trump was about his intentions. Add to that the family separation policy and the STILL MISSING children when he's a known associate of Epstien there was plenty to be upset about.

Biden should do an "official act", then resign immediately afterwards.
Like expanding the Supreme Court
I was thinking long range lobotomy.
My 85 year old German mother-in-law (born in 1939 and moved to Canada around 1960), suggested the same thing.
(PS I'm an American living in Canada)
During his first term at the gym this little old lady was working out on the treadmill next to me and when Kelly Ann Conway came on the tv, she leans over and goes, oh that lady shouldn't be alive. (paraphrasing to not get banned)

Expand the Supreme Court to 200 people, appoint the most progressive persons out there. Federally legalize marijuana and drop all restrictions on it. Forgive all student and medical debt. Raise the federal minimum wage to $30/hr. Tax all rental income at 4,000%.
Sure it would probably all get undone before the Toupee hit 100 days in office, but what a sweet couple months that would be.
Ah yes, yes...that's exactly what I meant.
And removing the "presidential power to pardon".
i like the way you think
Oh no, those poor wealthy maga merch company owners would have to print something new knowing their cult would feel obligated to buy it?
Funny in theory but it'd just enrich the grifters. Yeah, the cult members deserve it...but I can't get behind furthering the wealth divide
First women president as an asterix is just sad.
fwiw she briefly had presidential powers a couple years ago when Biden was sedated for a medical procedure. Source.
Ehhh, "acting president" is not really PRESIDENT president, y'know?
The funny thing is reading the source article, when Trump had the same procedure, he didn't make Pence the acting president because he didn't trust Pence with presidential powers for even an hour.

It's honestly the least he could do. Sure he was a good president with good policies but keeping your head down and fixing things that the GOP are only going to claim credit for isn't helpful at the moment. The DNC has managed to turn decades of good will and evaporate it into nothing. So yes, giving us this small inconsequential win would not be too big of an ask.
could she, with the scrotus ruled immunity, void the election and have trump and his team arrested for treason?
yes, she could.
but so could Biden.
he would be the better choice though.

That would be fucking brilliant.
I love the idea but hate the thought they would just reprint and make more money.
Yeah, but we would get to say we had a female president.

That is so incredibly petty. I like it.
One step further. Declare he was in fact as stated president in exile and Biden was never president and thusly he cannot run for a third term.
I was thinking this too. Except he should do it right before Thanksgiving, so Kamala’s fist job as president is pardon the turkeys.
I need you to understand that these diaper-wearing fucks would just buy both
45 + 47 equals 92. just thought i’d share that math fact if anybody was interested

And by the time they made it they’d have to pay tariffs on it 😂
Also stack 50 more judges to the supreme court. Also drone strike Trump with a nuke as that has been declared legal.
Hilarious. I love it!
Just fuck off suddenly and without warning. Later losers!
This is absolutely brilliant.
So do her like Kim Campbell? I love the burn to MAGA but she deserves better than that. The first woman president of the US deserves better than that. Sadly I also agree that while unpurchased merch is possible, its also likely that Trump will just make more money off this.
Re Kim Campbell:
Campbell became the new prime minister in June 1993 after Mulroney resigned in the wake of declining popularity. In the 1993 Canadian federal election in October of that year, the Progressive Conservatives were decimated, losing all but two seats from a previous majority, with Campbell losing her own. Her 132-day premiership is the third-shortest in Canadian history.[a]
