My feelings have never been relevant. The facts are the facts, pound sand.

Okay, Berkley won't do it for you, how about Harvard Law?

This term was the most significant in memory because, in Trump v. United States, [the Court] hard-wired the imperial presidency by granting what in practice is close to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution to presidents who wield their power corruptly and self-servingly;

Or how about I quote the decision itself?

Held: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts. Pp. 5–43.

It's not impossible for him to be prosecuted, but the legal barrier is sky high and in most cases not practical. Acknowledge it.

Fascists are nationalists. Fascists from different nations fighting each other isn't really infighting, that's just like, regular fighting.

Not something we should be fueling at any rate. Heaven forbid anyone asks about a peace plan that isn't total victory, though.

There's disagreement among scholars.

“I didn’t expect such a broad definition of absolute immunity for a president for criminal acts,” said Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, one of the nation’s preeminent constitutional scholars. “While the court leaves many issues unresolved, it is a dramatic and stunning affirmation of broad, absolute immunity for a president.”

Berkeley political scientist Terri Bimes, a scholar in the history and operation of the U.S. presidency, called the court’s ruling “dangerous.”

“The decision seems to permit the president to use the power of the office to commit acts that are illegal, that are criminal,” Bimes said. “The fact that these actions are being taken in the name of the presidency, that they’re official acts, makes them immune from prosecution. That is really problematic.”

I've hated Israel since they crushed Rachel Corrie with a fucking bulldozer in 2003, don't you fucking accuse me of not being aware of this genocidal settler-colonial state until recently. You accuse me of spreading propaganda and then post a fucking article that says the US is helpless and is legally forced to keep selling Israel weapons without limits forever. "Aw shucks, there's nothing Biden can do, he has to keep giving them billions of dollars of bombs to decapitate children in concentration camps!"

Let me help you understand how all this works.

The US can pull out of any agreement it wants. See: the Iran nuclear deal. This horseshit about the US being legally required to support Israel is mystification, the US can basically just do whatever it wants. This doesn't even get into the new Supreme Court decision, which basically just gave the President unlimited executive powers to execute the office's official duties.

Okay, here you go.

Here's what fucking Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent:

“The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.” Sotomayor went on to write, “In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law,” she wrote.

Biden can kill all his enemies and that's the law now. As long as it is an official act, it's constitutional.

Your entire argument was "no ur rong" and so I responded with as much effort as you gave me.

The powers just granted to him by the Supreme Court.

Any "official act" done by the President is now constitutional. He couldn't, like, shoot Trump at the next debate with a gun he smuggled on stage. What he could do is, as President from the Oval Office, order Trump's motorcade to be droned.

I'm trans in a red state, they're going to kill me, and the only option I'm allowed to vote for a genocidal mummy who is going to fucking lose because he's too stubborn and old to realize he has to drop out. Meanwhile, smarmy fucking liberals want to tell me it's too dangerous for Biden to use his unlimited executive power handed to him by the Court, and they're frog marching me to my death.

So yeah, my first instinct was to wish Biden would do literally fucking anything to stop Trump, and he won't and we're all fucked.

EDIT And I'm a stupid fuck and hit enter too quickly sometimes and then think of more stuff I want to say or change my mind about what I wanted to say, and now that I was "caught" being a stupid indecisive fuck because I edited a few minutes after posting I lose this argument so whatever

Weird how if Biden uses any of the power he has to stop Trump from becoming Fuhrer then it will cause a civil war, but when Trump actually uses that power to become Fuhrer he will face no obstacles.

There was barely the pretense of a primary anyway, no one serious ran against Biden and there weren't debates and anyone who voted against Biden was screamed at by the entire rest of the Party. People are already pretty mad about that, and then being told "vote for this nursing home patient or the government will kill you" isn't making it better.

Yet somehow Biden is powerless to stop him. 🤔
