Nah man. I won’t refer to Biden as anything, but the man who had the power to stop trump but never did
-
Why blame Biden for Trumps actions?
-
I think you misunderstand. I just won’t be calling Biden “uncle Joe” or the like because he has all the information and power in the world to have brought trump to justice, but didn’t
-
How could he bring Trump to justice as a president?
-
Could've shot him in the face and then got a presidential pardon. Jokes aside, so many people overestimate the power of the US president.
-
I mean, didn't the supreme court literally make it legal for the president to assassinate political rivals? Biden just didn't have the stones to drop those fascist fucks into a black site.
-
I don't think Biden would want to be the one to start that habit
-
This is how I see it. I doubt trump hesitates.
-
Except a MAGA congress gets to determine if it was okay.
-
How is it still a MAGA Congress? All the MAGAt politicians have become landfill.
-
-
I read somewhere that decision only applies for that specific instance. Meaning it was only for Trump.

It's fun that your answer to fascism is fascism but with a guy you prefer.-
Did you notice the second sentence starts with 'jokes aside'
-
I did, in fact, not notice that. Sorry about that.

All good :)

could have seal team sixed his ass
-
He has immunity and won’t use it for the greater good
-
Immunity from what? How could he use that immunity to bring Trump to justice?
-
Presidential immunity from anything he does even the injustice of forcing trump go through trial with judges who haven’t been compromised by trump interests and face repercussions for his actions from the last 8 years
Edited to add: when they go low, go low with them
-
The Court declared that a President is immune from prosecution when exercising the 'core powers' of the presidency. Not from anything they do.
If a president could force their political opponent to face trial with judges chosen by the president then that could be weaponized by future presidents like Trump or anyone like him.

You’re right everyone should just play fair

One simple thing he could have done would be to have not run for president again when he said he wasn't going to, making Harris have a shorter time campaigning and giving Trump a huge head start.
He can barely function from a physical and mental perspective. He should have GTFO the moment he could. It's a wonder we didn't have anyone younger from the beginning.

-
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
-
What do you feel he should have done that he didn’t do?
-
Allow the usage of long range missiles.
-
Early in the invasion of Ukraine Russia shared video of a functional hypersonic missle that could deliver nukes past all current air defenses. That was why he was hesitant to escalate by using long range missles.
If I remember right, since then we’ve found that Russias hypersonic missles cannot steer at hypersonic speeds and have had some misfires making them less of a threat. That plus the fact that Trump is months away from helping Russia, the strategy has changed.

Why excuse the inaction that brought trump back to power?
-
What inaction are you referring to? What do you feel he should’ve done that he didn’t do?
-
Replaced Garland with someone who would actually do their job.
He could have also just shot Trump in the face, because the SC gave him a blank check to do whatever.
-
So you'd replace Garland and the new AG would do what, exactly? Fire Jack Smith?
-
Replaced Garland with someone who would actually do their job.
What should he do differently? Trump has claimed that the DOJ has been weaponized to keep him from becoming president. If the court of public opinion believes that (and a lot of people do) then Merrick Garland has to be absolutely sure he can win a case before prosecuting Trump otherwise more people will believe it’s just a ‘witch hunt’ and it will be harder to try again.
He could have also just shot Trump in the face, because the SC gave him a blank check to do whatever.
The SC ruling was that Presidents have immunity when exercising the “core powers” of the presidency. I doubt shooting Trump in the face would be considered that and it would only empower future presidents to do the same.
-
Trump is a threat to the constitution. The president has an obligation to protect it.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Ergo, shooting Trump in the face would be a core power of the president.
-
I don’t disagree but the court of public opinion would. And doing this would give grounds for the next president that comes along like Trump to just shoot their political opponents.
-
If the next opponent straight up said they'd be dictator on day one, and people wouldn't need to vote ever again, after leading a violent insurrection attempt, I'd fully support them being executed for sedition and treason.
The point is there's not going to be another opponent, and that's what Biden needs to stop.
-
I would too. But the majority of voters seem to think Trump was just joking when he said those things. And the voters get to decide what politicians get away with.

I see him as the shitty candidate nobody wanted under Obama, who the democrats used to push out Bernie.
I think he's trash.

Are you trolling? Hillary pushed out Bernie.
