Time magazine called the ex-president’s plans ‘an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world’

Donald Trump has warned that Joe Biden and his family could face multiple criminal prosecutions once he leaves office unless the US supreme court awards Trump immunity in his own legal battles with the criminal justice system.

In a sweeping interview with Time magazine, Trump painted a startling picture of his second term, from how he would wield the justice department to hinting he may let states monitor pregnant women to enforce abortion laws.

Trump made the threat against the Biden family in an interview with Eric Cortellessa of Time, in which he shared the outlines of what the magazine called “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world”.

Prosecute the Bidens on what grounds? The GOP have been investigating them for a few years now and have admitted they can't find anything, other than Hunter's tax evasion or whatever it was.

He's full of shit and just says whatever the fuck no matter how stupid it is because he loves the uneducated and his followers are certainly that. They believe anything from anyone with an R in front of their name.

I don't think he understands or really believes that there are impartial laws. He thinks when he's being prosecuted it's just personal bullshit targeted at him, so he can do the same to anyone.

Because he's always weaponized the courts to slap people opposed to him and doesn't understand 90% of his business empire is based on illicit activities. The first dollar he ever made wasn't even obtained legally because his father put one month old donny down as a landlord so he'd get income at a lower tax rate. 70+ years later he's still shitting in diapers and having people smarter than him find loopholes and schemes to hide how he puts more money in his pocket.

Business empire is based on illicit activities and daddy's money.

On the grounds of, "he won the election and I didn't so he definitely cheated."

Just like Hilary it's all hot air to rile up his base. Thry bad, I can prove. Except I can't prove it cause there isn't any evidence and my supposed witness has no credibility or ever been in the same room.

Hilary did do a crime kinda. Based on the advice of a Repub telling her to have a private instead of government mail server. Then she complied with investigations and ultimately the government declined to prosecute because it was such a nothing issue.

In stark fucking contrast is Donald literally stealing classified documents, storing them in a run-down hotel next to a copy machine that anyone can access, refusing to comply with instructions to return them, lying about everything...

Sorry, not disagreeing at all. It is hot air to rile up the base. And it does rile up the base because they are doublethink clowns.

Shush, Marge wants excuses to show off Hunter's monster hog in public.

What are the odds she's wanked to the pics?

I would be surprised if she didnt
