God I wish they would just be more blunt:
“So according to you, Biden can kill you? If you say yes then hitmen will be on their way”
I’m sure I’ll backfire but god damn it’s annoying when they try to be civil against bad faith actors.

The Democratic Party is the exact kind of stupid to have it ruled that a President can assassinate political rivals, refuse to use the power, lose the election, and then act surprised when they all get executed.
This is exactly what will happen. If there is a ruling that the president can do whatever the fuck, this democracy is done. You'd hope to see Biden go down with the ship shooting from the bow. Unfortunately he wouldn't. Dems will be trying to handshake across the aisle until they are executed the afternoon of Jan. 20th.
The problem is the SCOTUS said "maybe, see what the lower courts say" which is the only winning move for fascists on the question of presidential immunity. We all know what they really want to say is "Trump is immune, Biden is not" and kicking the can down the road until after the election accomplishes that, if Trump wins.

Been time to kick those justices out and put some fresh ones in
No need to kick them out.
They were being traitors to the country. Just "remove" them.
You mean banish them to another realm?
So he's saying Biden is legally within his rights to assassinate Trump?
The claim is also in perpetuity of the title, not just while holding office.
If this passes, Obama needs to walk right up to Trump, and slap him like a bitch.

What would be wild is if the "legal" justification they landed on was that the president specifically is immune but not the people under him. So you'd just have to hand Biden or Trump a handgun and watch them march up to someone and kill them because no police or military has the authority to stop the president
Obviously I don't want to live in that world but at least then we're living in a crazy movie dystopia which might at least be more fun to watch
Let's let Joe have it. He's old, he deserves it. How many fatalities can he even get before the long night takes him? 3? 4?
Come on, Joe, invite Tucker and Alex Jones to dinner.

Ya, so its super important that Biden doesnt COMPLETELY shit the bed and disenfranchise the sweeping majority of American liberals. Right?
I think all the smart liberals and leftists have realized an immunity ruling would be used against them.
Yeah, but we're talking about the Democratic leadership.
So... SCOTUS decides in Trump's favor, Biden has him assassinated, Biden wins election.
Trump is arguing that this will be OK, right? Right?
This is why they are delaying it until after the election. If Biden wins, they continue to stretch out the trial until Trump dies because of his old age and bad health, then go, "Well the defendant is dead so no reason to rule on this", leaving it open until they get another chance
If Trump wins, then they rule in Trump's favour with the trial suddenly going at breakneck speed
No, they'll decide the bullshit immunity in June. But the delay is correct. By putting off deciding, they've delayed the actual trial until after the election. Fucking illegitimate Supreme Court. They didn't waste time saying Colorado couldn't leave him off the ballot, even going out of their way to not address the 14th Amendment disqualification.
Technically Biden would have to shoot the man himself, anyone he could order to do it either cannot legally and would basically just be eating the legal bullet for him even though he's not in danger of it, or they have a legal duty to refuse the order.
It legitimately would not surprise me in 2024, if Biden just straight up shot trump during a debate.
We'd all be line "what!" Then go back to paying bills

So you're saying we can have some kind of tournament for the presidency?
.....maybe if we reduce it to a figurehead head of state role
SCOTUS would just argue it isn’t an official act if Biden does it.
If they decide that Presidents have total immunity, Biden better disappear a bunch of the SCOTUS, as well as a bunch of the insurrectionist Republicans. I don't want to have an authoritarian in charge, but if I had to choose between Biden or trump, the choice is pretty easy.
After delivering democracy to other countries over past few decades, USA has one last job. And this time, it's personal.
I wish someone would confront Trump about that during an interview. “So, do you have an armed guard, because you’re saying Biden can legally kill you?”
Lol if this were legal, there isn't an armed guard, or even military on the planet that could save you from a us president with a gbu_28 on deck
And then far right media would parrot for weeks that Biden actually wants to kill Trump. If they did what they did for a “stolen election” imagine what they would do if they had “reason” to suspect that Trump could be assassinated at Bidens wish
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
That's their favorite stance. Because then they can claim moral righteousness. If you can't get an upper hand logically, the next is emotionally.

I'd be pretty surprised if there were a private security option capable of holding off the military, if the president really wanted someone dead and had the legal go-ahead.
I'd be really surprised if Trump could afford them.
He's a broke bitch, owes half a billion in foreign loans alone. On another note, what kind of security force would be willing to suicide for him? His cult45? They have a combined IQ of an air conditioned room, the military would take them out like mowing your grass.
Then there's the military's 'knife bomb'...
"While other versions of the Hellfire take out targets in the expected ways — through explosive force or with shrapnel — the R9X crushes or slices a target to death. It is essentially a flying bundle of swords that can kill the occupant of a car without harming people around the vehicle."
How SOCOM's secret 'knife bomb' became the prime weapon for killing hard-to-reach terrorists
You've also forgotten the easiest method - simply bribing (or in this case ordering, as the Secret Service still answers to Biden regardless of the fact that they protect Trump, AFAIK) someone close to him to kill him.
That's very hard. You have to talk to someone and convince them. Or you can just dispatch a flight and go to dinner knowing it's done

Well Trump will obviously wait until he's installed himself as a dictator in perpetuity before making this ok
