After Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden draws sharp contrast with Trump on obeying rule of law - eviltoast
President Joe Biden is seeking to put the focus squarely onto Donald Trump following his uneven debate performance last week.

President Joe Biden warned Monday that a Supreme Court ruling granting presidents broad immunity from prosecutionwould make an unchecked Republican Donald Trump “more emboldened to do whatever he wants” if he regains the White House in November’s election.

Biden, under intense pressure after his disastrous debate performance against Trump last week, urged Americans to think carefully about their election decision and signaled he had no intention of dropping out of the race.

Criticizing the decision by the court’s conservative majority — which all but guarantees Trump will not face trial in Washington ahead of the November election over his actions during the violent riot on Jan. 6, 2021 — Biden said it now fell to the American people “to do what the courts should have been willing to do but will not.

“The American people have to render judgment about Donald Trump’s behavior.”

    The supreme court has basically given Biden the power to act as a King now, then take advantage and…

    1. Dismantle the supreme court, and start the process of HIM choosing who will be the new supreme court.
    2. Imprison all who seek out to destroy our democracy for financial gain.
    3. Forgive all student loans
    4. Change the constitution to codify roe vs wade
    5. Give all homeless a home by taking away property for rent that’s been on the market for more than 6 months.
    6. Dismantle or block the entirety of Project 2025.
    7. Make law that no entity can legally own more than 5 or 10 properties.
    8. Make law that no one that has been recently convicted of a crime in the last year can run for any office (much less the president).
    9. Force term limits on congress and the house.
    10. Force term limits on the supreme court.
    11. Stop treating coorporations as people.
    12. Codify the chrevron ruling that got overturned.
    13. Forgive all medical debts and make Medicaid for all to all americans.
    14. Delist any news organization that either overly exaggerates or lies to the public (ie. Fox, Newsmax, CNN).
    15. Let NOAA make their weather app they wanted.
    16. Implement the green new deal properly now.

    Use the weapons of your enemy against them.

    There probably more this to add, hut that’s just on the top of my mind.

      The court didn’t grant him more powers to do things like this list, it only grants him immunity from committing crimes.

        Ok, then he can abuse his power and do these things anyway.

        I mean, this is literally what Trump will do (the abuse of power and illegal shit), and we should not take the high road because WE WILL loose to them.
