No no no no, you don't get it.
BIDEN is not a king. Because the conservative owned SCOTUS will rule that whatever crimes he commits in office are not done as official business.
TRUMP is the future first monarch. Only his crimes will be deemed official business.
This ruling is just setting him up for a SCOTUS pardon, which they just granted themselves the power to do, so he can assume his throne.
SCOTUS gave themselves the power to absolve the POTUS of crimes. And POTUS already has the power to absolve anyone else of federal crimes.
Yep. Totally what the founders wanted.
what if he keeps executing SCOTUSes until they agree to absolve him?
Yep, I drew out a plausible plan in another thread on how that could work.
Arrest them on corruption, Espionage, domestic terrorism, etc charges. Either move them to an offshore blacksite, or "accidentally" kill them during the arrest.
That would certainly fall under "official acts", and if it's overstepping authority, well, who cares because even if they're deemed crimes, they were done in the context of official duties to keep this country safe.
And then when the corrupt SCOTUS members are purged, fill the seats with those that will uphold that Bidens orders were official acts. And Biden can pardon those executing his orders.
This is exactly what the SCOTUS just enabled. It's absolutely abhorrent. And Biden would never do it because it's obviously anti democratic and would establish a dictatorship.
But Trump WILL do it. And the current SCOTUS will allow it.

Only his crimes
What crimes? All I see is official business. Especially that guy he had killed because he was on 5th Ave. -- supreme court
George Washington would put trump in the fucking ground faster than you could say king of America
I had the Mental Image of George calmly setting aside his false teeth before suplexing Trump so hard that you could measure it on the Richter scale.
Washington's ghost: "Let's see how America is getting along."
"..."
"Welp, I tried to warn them political parties were a bad idea."

I wanna see FLIR drone footage of Donny's body exploding in mar a lago
“King Vitamin, Have breakfast with the King…”
I mean he does now have the powers of an absolute monarch.
As far as I know Saudi Arabia is the only other country with an absolute monarch, so it makes some sense we are allies now.
You're forgetting the pope.
Not exactly. He's only allowed to do illegal things if the SCOTUS is okay with it. He's a Democrat, so they wouldn't be.
Not until he wipes the supreme court and then installs his puppet court. Once that happens the senate won't even impeech, if they know what's good for them.
It's all jokes, but this is the GOPs plan more or less.
They might not violently overthrow the court but only because they have silently already done it.
Next project 2025 will dismantle our elections. When 2028 rolls around, well what do you know, 99% of Americans WANT Don Jr to be kin-- president.
It's over. The only thing left is for the DNC and the voting public to hand him the crown. And they do so willingly, because Biden, ~checks notes~, is old?
It's not over yet, but it is very dangerously close.
When I hear the pundants, even the ones I thought I liked, try to pacify what is happening, I know we are done. Even if they do it for their own sanity, there should be no pacification for injustice at this level.
"Well, that's just Trump and he has all the GOP by his side so what can you do?" You should do what ever it takes, what ever power you hold, what ever platform you have it should be used to oppose these tyrants. In that light, it's already over. No one will actually stand up from here until December and it will all be too late.
When I hear the pundits, even the ones I thought I liked, try to pacify what is happening, I know we are done.
You may very well be right, and that's extremely frustrating for me, too. Manufactured consent being laid bare.

Didn't the Supreme Court just invite him to do this?
Basically
