America is in a domestic violence situation with fascism. It thinks it can take it right up to the edge, without repercussions, because the sex is great. But it’s eventually gonna end up with half the country dead on the kitchen floor.

Biden should just arrest trump niw. Let's force the issue.
I saw a post somewhere else suggesting Biden should deploy a SEAL team to just hang out at the steps to the courthouse in NYC where Trump is on trial, and a second one to the steps of the Supreme Court. No orders beyond just being there for the time being.
The minute the SCOTUS hands down its decision issue new orders to the teams…
Guantanamo Bay for security measures. Poof. He all the sudden was treated like every other , tyrant Trump wouldnt execute
Arrest a few Supreme Court justices - that should focus some minds.
"In the end, if it fails completely, it’s because we destroyed our democracy on our own, isn’t it?”
— Justice Sonia Sotomayor, during oral argument in Trump v. United States.
Jesus. I don't know how many times I have to say this but impeachment is a political process, not a criminal one.
Just because you weren't impeached doesn't mean you can't be charged with a crime.
I swear if Trump has been impeached, they'd be saying that he can't be criminally charged because then it'd be double jeopardy.
I think they did at the time.
There are many times I wish cameras were allowed in Supreme Court hearings. That way we can immortalize Kagan's face when she asks a question with two possible answers, one of them abjectly stupid, and the lawyer answers it that way, anyway.
SCOTUS has ruled against the trumpster several times. I hope they remember what a vindictive little bitch he is, because if he regains the power he's seeking, they may find themselves in a Mike Pence situation one day.
The Conservative Majority is definitely leaning his way. Be prepared for him to evade justice. Again...
This is insane. The Constitution clearly says that the President doesn't have unilateral power.
Constitution is a piece of old paper. What matters is if enough people give a shit about it anymore.
Sure, if you read it, but what about if you just go on feels like they do with their holy book?
So in effect he says if a partisan Congress that most certainly does care about political affiliation won't convict you then the (theoretically) non-partisan courts can't touch you right?
Makes perfectly good sense, your buddies should get a say in if you broke the law. Let's apply that everywhere, just round up some friends to vouch for you as a good person and you're free to do whatever you like.
Biden should just have Trump arrested and sent to gitmo. If the president really does have all this unilateral power only able to be stopped by impeachment there's no real way to prevent a dictator. Just arrest anyone in Congress who'd vote to impeach you.
It'd absolutely be the end of this country but we're already staring that in the face as Trump tells the SCOTUS what he plans to do.
What you're suggesting is actually fucking hilarious because if Trump wanted out of gitmo he'd have to argue that there should be limits on the president's powers in which case he'd lose the case... or he could win the case and remain in gitmo.
This is how fucking ridiculous this is.
It’s not like many conservative justices could disagree with this… in gitmo.
~~Schroeder’s~~ Schrödinger’s president. He is both president and not president, depending on if it hurts or helps his case.
Depending on whether it hurts your feelings...
Mind blown 😯
