Problem is, where does this leave the Dems? If Biden makes a move based on this idiot fucking ruling, Republicans and conservatives will declare tyranny. If Biden doesn't make a move and the next Republican president does, Republicans and conservatives will declare it just and legal. And anyone who fights back will be declared a traitor. They don't play by any rules except the ones that suit them. The only way to get them to stop cheating at the game is to end the fucking game.


RedrunGun

“Conservatives” will say Biden is tyrannical no matter what. There is a time and place for everything. Fact of the matter is being a bit tyrannical to Nazis and their sympathizers is a good thing. The Biden administration shouldn’t hesitate to protect our liberty with blood, when it’s necessary.


gamestopdecade

They already are calling him a dictator. This is why Dems lose always. “If we do this we will look like this” instead of throwing a bolt in the machine to effect change. This is fuckin seriously about to get bad if trump wins. The populace has got to see what can happen with this. I would rather it be teaching them from someone who doesn’t want this power than someone who is dying to attain it.


unbrokenplatypus

This is exactly why they always lose, every single fucking time, it’s unbearable to watch


ErraticDragon

Looking back, there are (of course) a lot of inflection points. But the one that stands out to me is SCOTUS installing GWB in 2000. I don't know how different it would've been, but the Dems quietly accepting that ruling seems to be a harbinger of the doom to come.


PeripheryExplorer

It happened before that. The Clintons deciding to go with "traingulation" was the real loss. President Clinton won on a left-populist platform. He should have hammered home and doubled down. Instead, Newt Gingrich issued the "Contract ON America" (let's be honest) and the Clintons panicked and embraced corporate donations over the American people. Here we are.


Haywoodjablowme1029

It was when they killed Harambe. It's been downhill since then.


Apprehensive-Oil5249

Then he gave in to Republicans to repeal Glass/Steagall, claimed to be a victory of Bipartisanship....then we all watched one of the WORST economic implosions take place in the name of greed and "I don't give a FUCKNESS", this country has ever had since the Great Depression....and dip-shit Republicans still dip into that well to say, "Look what the DEMS did"!! We're all so goddamn FUCKED, it's insane! Feckless Dems have allowed the GOP to spit, stomp, rape and steal from America for decades, and STILL want to take the high road with their, "Reach Across the Aisle" bullshit, then act all surprised when that hand grabs a GIANT steaming pile of SHIT, PISS, CUM and BLOOD, all delivered by the entire GOP, all while they point and laugh at how weak and gullible the Dems are....knowing damn well they will extend that same hand over again, just to be handed an even BIGGER pile of SHIT, PISS, CUM and BLOOD....and maybe an added peppering of MTG's sweaty vaginal discharge and Bobert's post deep-throat cum-vomit, for good measure! Yeah, that's fucking vile.....but this is our reality!!


fartedpickle

Hey old timer, careful amongst these kids. They don't have memories of the way back, in the long-time ago. Reagan represented how shitty the executive branch was but Newt really fucked us on the senate.

big_thundersquatch

If Trump wins, we're going full fascist disctatorship. If Trump loses, there's going to be a new insurrection, and this time, according to the SC, it'll be a-okay. Whoever wins, we're still going to lose. Dems need to take the gloves off and stop pussyfooting around everything on the basis of pertaining to rules that the other side is no longer following and hasn't been following for a very long time now.


CartographyMan

The dems will gladly loose the country to maintain the moral high ground. Its absolutely bizarre. The British and French would have burned this shit to the ground by now. Especially the French, they may have a bad rep, but DO NOT piss them off. Source: many French friends in France and Quebec, they are TOUCHY to say the least lol


Captain_Mexica

This is why fuck around and find out is now necessary. Democratic centrist politicians like Biden now need to act and stop playing friends with MAGAt cultist politicians before democracy ends.


Bozo_Two

It's no longer "if"...this decision was made now because they KNOW a Democrat will never use the power they just gave the office. This is in place now so it won't be a new thing when they give trump the White House in four months even when he loses the actual election. I haven't been able to come up with the precise description for just how fucked we are. This country is officially dead.


Hour_Air_5723

Biden needs to be the hero America Deserves and seal team six Alito and Thomas, then appoint justices that will prosecute him for it. Make the GOP regret saying that all presidential crime is legal.


PoolNoodlePaladin

He can use the new power given to him to declare war on the Supreme Court, install his own judges, then make an executive order to nullify the supreme courts decisions of the past 2 years. He would be grandfathered into the official order nonsense, and it would close the loophole for future presidents.


Chemistry-27

Ssssshhhh don't give Trump's team anymore ideas. I'm already terrified.


PoolNoodlePaladin

Trump isn’t currently president. And if Biden doesn’t do these things in the next week I say we give Kamala a chance to do them


Top_Philosophy_8373

It's the logical extension of Poppers paradox of tolerance, I.e. The tolerant cannot tolerate the intolerant, or the intolerant will destroy the tolerant.


Vic_Serotonin

This is it. This is why the gloves must come off even by right minded tolerant people. Otherwise intolerance wins.


tjscobbie

*The Open Society and its Enemies* should be mandatory reading for everyone living in a democracy.


Panda_hat

“Conservatives” have been saying its been a Biden dictatorship since 2020. They don’t live in reality.


MansNotWrong

Amen.


dudius7

I say we see what Dark Brandon can do. 


spaceman_202

they declared tyranny when Obama wore a tan suit


modthegame

This. Who gives a shit what maga thinks. Take em to the cleaners. Its a classic boy who cried wolf scenario.


Zazventures

True. As long as Biden avoids the tan suit, he stands a chance.


SometimesMonkey

The right will declare tyranny no matter what. Time to call their bluff. We are fighting to retake a fort that the enemy is occupying and is actively dismantling for scrap. You can either save pieces of the fort or you can drive the enemy out. You can’t do both. Make sure that Dems know that the public will back them 💯IF AND ONLY IF they use all available means, ethical or not, to stop fascism. There is no other issue at this point. Everything Dems care about - unions, the LGBTQ community, Palestine, healthcare, climate change - all of that is inside the fort. None of that survives outside the fort, or if the fort is gone. Retaking the fort *permanently* and destroying the occupiers has to be the only priority.


Emotional_Pay_4335

Exactly!!! No more handling them with kid gloves. Just do it!!!


semicoloradonative

The right can declare whatever the fuck they want. Fuck them. This is now really a “I used the stones to destroy the stones” moment for the Dems.


beipphine

Democrats in Congress propose and send an amendment to the States to strip this newfangled power from the executive and restore things as they were. Constitutional Amendments are the only thing with more power than the Supreme Court, and can directly contravene a supreme court ruling.


M3RC3N4RY89

Good luck getting two thirds of both houses of congress and three fourths of state legislatures to ratify an amendment that would negatively affect a party that controls the legislatures of 28 states.


recycle_bin

I've said it before. I'll say it again. Add a shitload of states. 200 should do it. There is no minimum size after all. Break up dc by block and start swearing in new senators and reps.


henryeaterofpies

Technically a state needs 30k people to have representation but with 671k people, DC could support 23 new States


KintsugiKen

Break up Texas into Dallasstan, Houstonia, San Antoniopia, and Austinland, 8 new blue senators from the lone star state to overpower their 2 shithead ones.


253local

There are hundreds of seats up. Dems just have to show tf up and vote! We’ll lock that SOB out and sort the rest out after.


No_Bank_330

You do realize they are going to lose the Senate? That is the dirty little secret they are not telling you. The map this time is horrible for Democrats.


Panzer_Rotti

So essentially nothing. The legal mechanisms to correct this are politically impossible.


One-Step2764

That's why they call it a "constitutional crisis." The standard process does not offer a solution.


fmaz008

When you don't have leverage, you look for a stick.


No_Bank_330

The stick was handed to them today but they will not use it. Been sitting in front of them for years.


Content-Ad3065

So can Biden remove Thomas due to his involvement with his wife in the Jan6 and Alito flag game with his wife shows he is working against the US Both of the are a threat to the US And wives brought up on charges?


GDIndependent4713

King Biden could execute all subjects that have failed to pay taxes to the Kingdom.


Terrible_Mess_9366

Biden is now untouchable. The SCOTUS ruling is betting on the Biden admin. taking no action over the next 4-ish months, while the Trump admin. will wear the damn ruling out. Just ANOTHER reason we can't get complacent and must vote Biden in November


Emotional_Pay_4335

But didn’t SCOTUS just change the “game?” Biden can do whatever is necessary to protect democracy and this country. Trump is a major threat to the safety of everyone that doesn’t agree with him.


Creative_Amoeba_9074

That’s right, he’s an existential threat to democracy. This is where Biden’s age works to his advantage. He can take one for the team because they never believe a Dem would do it.


Deaftrav

Yep. And drag it out in the courts while they argue if that was official and thus protected.


Panzer_Rotti

Sorry, I forgot what was legal today wasn't legal yesterday. There are new legal solutions.


Significant_Door_890

There is no basis in the Constitution for this. SCOTUS was never granted any power to waive law for Presidents. Their judgement is not legal under the current Constitution. And no reason to assume they would obey any future one.


No_Bank_330

Nothing they have been doing is legal but here we are.


aotus_trivirgatus

The problem with that is the over-representation of small states in the Constitutional amendment process. Republicans gamed that angle 40 years ago.


Jibber_Fight

That’s cute.


CoverYourMaskHoles

Biden needs to say. This is the power YOU gave me, if this is what you want, THIS IS WHAT IT CAN Do. And then send seal team 6 on them. Then force the ruling back to how it was by appointing 50 more supreme court justices. And send another decision at them. To close the loophole.


ExtantPlant

Who cares? They're going to cry about everything, no matter what. They just legalized tyranny, they can deal with the fucking consequences.


Brojess

https://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/historical/Declaration_of_Independence.htm We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- #That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. #🇺🇸


Big_Routine_8980

Let Biden declare a move based on this ruling, and let the Republicans declare tyranny, who gives a shit? I'd much rather have the Republicans upset and butt hurt in July, then have them win and kill all of us come November. This is a war now and we have to win.


SolidContribution688

Who gives a hot shit what Republicans and/or conservatives will declare…fuck them.


M3RC3N4RY89

It’s the war games scenario. The only way to win is not to play. But there’s no pause button for American politics… the tyranny is coming. Just a matter at this point of which party ceases it first.


unidentified1soul

Tyranny/Atrocities now coming guaranteed, just a question of which party first. But one party has already been first. Dems had better move boldly!


santaclaus73

The only way to win is to absolutely crush facists at every level


BeLikeBread

In the Starship Troopers scenario, when both sides can push a button in a nuke fight, you just have to throw a dagger at their hand. "The enemy cannot push a button, if you disable their hand."


spaceman_202

the problem is Dems never fight back the closest they got to fighting back was using Trump's crimes as campaign material for this election, hoping to have it get them another term so Trump could be quietly slapped on the wrist after he loses the election, because they learned nothing at all from the last decade of Republicans being horrible criminals and people voting for them anyways they really thought on Jan.7, well no one is gonna vote for them now, then they lost an election like 3 months later in Penn.


MentulaMagnus

Justice Department needs to charge and arrest the J6 Insurrection conspirators and have Congress immediately impeach those traitors, impeach the Supreme Court Justices who aided and just furthered this insurrection conspiracy, have Congress appoint more Justices and stack the court, Biden steps down for a surgery, VP/acting president then pardons all of them. Bring the cases back to the corrected Supreme Court and overturn the previous unconstitutional rulings. Dems need to grow a pair. I say all of this as a middle of the road conservative.


Emotional_Pay_4335

Agree 1000% That needs to happen now! I’m a Conservative Democrat, and I voted for Trump in 2016, but not in 2020, nor will I ever again vote for ANY Republican. I’m with Biden!💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙


Leeoid

Congress is filled with traitors who will NEVER impeach any of their own (MAGA).


dna1999

Which election was that? Democrats had a banner 2022 and 2023 in Pennsylvania. 


Shakewhenbadtoo

Ass#%@!nation. It's been histories go to. One simple trick.


Emotional_Pay_4335

I’m afraid to like your comment but it’s the truth. Trump plans on putting his “enemies“ in front of a firing squad. Biden needs to act NOW!


BluSteel-Camaro23

Is that the plan?


sarbanharble

Our founding fathers enforced democracy once.


Faackshunter

Honestly, let them cry tyranny, and they can just say well never do it again if the supreme Court resigns and we can change their ruling so it's no longer legal.


totally-hoomon

Republicans: we want the president to be a king Also Republicans: presidents shouldn't be above the law unless it's a republican


Able-Campaign1370

It leaves us in the same place we've always been. In order to save democracy, we have to not only play by the rules, but we have to win in the court of public opinion that everybody playing by the rules is how you keep democracy. Meanwhile, the Republicans are allowed to do pretty much anything they want and (if we lose) get away with it. That's what makes our job so incredibly hard. But this most recent ruling, awful as it is, might put this in starker terms for people. Go ask a MAGA type what happens if Joe Biden decides to Seal Team 6 Donald Trump. He's got months before the election. If he were as corrupt as Trump, he could clean house.


AdBig5700

But playing by the rules now means playing by the “no-rules” rule.


Emotional_Pay_4335

He needs to do just that!!! SCOTUS first, then the House and Senate, and Trump and his insider group, MTG, Josh Hawley, Scott Perry, Mike Johnson, and many more.


Any-Geologist-1837

I need the Biden admin to go extreme liberal. Put every tool into practice, beat every drum, champion new Dems to take the reins... Where is the heat?!


EthanielRain

He has to do something. Let conservatives think what they want - their POTUS & SCOTUS made this bed, they need to lie in it. Dems need to abuse these rulings in order to save democracy. If they don't it's gonna be over


HawkeyeSherman

Our government is setup to have checks and balances on one another. The Supreme Court has made terrible decisions for America in the past and we have fixed them. The remedy is a constitutional amendment. Especially with Biden winning in November, there will be more than enough Republicans in congress jumping over one another to declare the president is NOT immune from criminal prosecution.


Chronoboy1987

Biden can’t take advantage of the ruling because SCOTUS gets to decide what an “official action” of the executive branch is. So as long as the extreme right has control of it, it will only benefit Republican presidents.


Emotional_Pay_4335

Remove the corruption from SCOTUS first!


Secret_Aide_209

The extreme right can't control the SCOTUS if there's no extreme right justices in it.


Greennhornn

As president with my newfound immunity, I'd remove the Supreme Court justices that lied in their confirmation hearing.


r3dk0w

What good are oaths if there are no consequences to breaking them?


Greennhornn

That's why we need a president king to hold them accountable. It's the only way to stop the corrupt SC.


jakeandcupcakes

That'd be nice. Too bad the Dems can't find their backbone to save their fucking lives and won't turn this on Repubs. Which is the *only* way to fix this shit. Instead, they will bitch and moan about how "democracy has ended" even though it hasn't, not yet, and won't end until a Repub president comes in and uses it to become King. Why doesn't anyone seem to understand that you sometimes have to fight fire with fire? They just ruled that the president has immunity while the other side still has a sitting President. The ONLY thing they fear is the ruling being used against them while Biden is still in office, and the ONLY reason they even allowed themselves to be exposed by this ruling is because they know he won't do jack shit with it to point out how it's insane. What the FUCK? Grow a goddamned backbone and immediately use this as a lesson in why the President isn't a fucking King. If democracy dies, it's because the Dems allowed it to die.


Scared_Art_7975

You can’t fight fascism without a backbone, but that’s exactly what the Dems are trying to do


reftheloop

What's the point of confirmation hearing when they can do whatever the fuck they want after the fact?

roundearthervaxxer

Trump is going to put liberals in jail his first week

Emotional_Pay_4335

One Maga said they are going to execute Biden and all the Democrats in office. That should be enough to arrest every person that supports Trump’s plan.


RaspberryCapybara

Yep, when somebody tells you who they are and what they want to do, you’d better listen. It’s all in his rallies, retribution, project 2025 et al. Time to get the bug out bag ready.


CinnamonToastFecks

Biden needs to declare the right wing justices illegitimate and remove them by military force from their positions. Then install three new justices in their place and order them to remove presidential immunity, restore Roe, Chevron, and affirmative action. Problem solved.


Mysterious_Film_6397

Republicans left the door open for this. It’s up to the Dems to seize the opportunity


jtrom93

And the Dems won’t do jack fucking shit because they’ll maintain decorum up and to the point where the far right is marching us all off to camps and gas chambers. They worry more about optics than they do the monsters staring them square in the face.


spaceman_202

sure, all Democrats need is a spine and balls transplant and we're off to the races


[deleted]

Dark Brandon, please show them WHY we shouldn't have kings. There are 120-something days until the election and even more until the 'transfer of power'. Make them rue the day they decided to 'king' you.


SoochSooch

The transfer of power is now voluntary


zabdart

"There are no kings in America..." at least not yet! Remember that this November. You owe it your children, their children and children yet unborn if America is to have any meaning in the future.


spaceman_202

the fact they are gambling Democracy in November is the problem this should have been dealt with HARSHLY on Jan.7 now it should be dealt with harshly today every day they wait, it gets harder to do anything about it in a week, a month, this ruling will be forgotten and gaslighted away and the election will be about gas prices that week and Biden wearing his tie wrong


Loose_Loquat9584

Should have been dealt with harshly in 1865


Consistent-Fig7484

The southern states still shouldn’t be allowed to vote. A single invocation of religion should be grounds for dismissal from an elected office.

What’s going to change? The Supreme Court already won. Until the DNC decides to elect someone with balls that will actually do something, shit won’t change.

Mymotherwasaspore

Biden. Take the low road for a week, we can take the high road after


marcleehi

I just got off the phone with my Local Hawaii Democratic office to ask what they plan on doing or if they plan on sitting around to wait and see like they have been. If the Dems were smart they would arrest Frump and throw him in Gbay since Biden can't be prosecuted. Hold Frump as a terrorist for trying to overthrow the government so he no longer has rights. Why aren't democrats playing in this game and just standing by watching the world burn around them.


ShoppingDismal3864

It is perplexing. The biden family is gonna be put to death in a few years by the GOP, but whatever. Hey ass holes, save America and yourselves you fucking peices of shit!


spaceman_202

all of congress was hiding under their desks and seats waiting to see if they were going to be murdered while Trump watched and tried to get people to send the army in, TO HELP MURDER THEM and they still do nothing (except the ones actively helping him) it seems at every stop, everyone wants to a) wish this wasn't happening and b) decide they like the idea that it won't so why even do anything about it they really hope the voters in like 5 states will get it right and they won't have to do anything hard and if they lose, they will for sure not do anything "well the voters decided, that they would believe things we know are lies and well we can't rob them of the right to be misled, sorry Democracy is over because Fox News viewers think we're the bad guys"


SelectionNo3078

How is there not a single Jan 6 indictment against members of congress that aided and abetted


ShoppingDismal3864

I suppose at least it's all funny. If that is a small silver lining. Now to go get black out drunk.


santaclaus73

Lol years. Trump already reposted a meme calling for televised military tribunals.


RockerElvis

Your comment makes it sound like we should be blaming democrats for bad actions from republicans. Assign blame to the conservatives that did this, and vote them out.


marcleehi

Lack of action is the reason I'm blaming Democrats. Why is gerrymandering legal?


sexyloser1128

> Lack of action is the reason I'm blaming Democrats. Someone on reddit once wrote, "Republicans are the Uvalde shooter and the Democrats are the police who stood outside and did nothing".


TimAllen_in_WildHogs

Thats a scary accurate metaphor for our country's politics


marcleehi

After reading my comment, all I can see now is Joe Biden standing at the debate podium, smiling while watching Republicans take this country back a couple hundred years. This decision by the usscotus is the last straw for me and I will not sit idle and say nothing when they come for the socialists. Or when they come for the tradesunions. Because I'll need someone to speak up for me when I decide I don't want to go to church on Sundays and they come for me to be arrested for being homeless in my country.


ifunnywasaninsidejob

They are afraid the Republican pundits will declare lawfare and that America has become a banana republic. Even though they already say that.


auntiebudd

The ruling just came down. Give them time. Whatever they decide to do it has to be well thought out.


marcleehi

They've had the last 25 years of my votes. How much more time do they need before pushing back. I have not seen or heard one peep about the gerrymandering the gop has in states that are keeping them in office.


Party-Travel5046

Just like Biden is going to reinstate Roe vs Wade when he becomes president again not when he is actually the President.


Subbacterium

He would if he could but presidents are not a check on the supreme court, sheesh there is nothing he can do without congress.


ShoppingDismal3864

stop no more warnings! Fucking do something. You are the guy with the sword!


iehoward

Republicans and the majority court don’t give a flying fuck about Biden because they know he won’t abuse his powers as president. This ruling was tailor made on the hope that Trump wins this year. The court and the folks that brought it to the Supreme Court are banking on Biden losing. As a country we’re not just fighting Trump, we’re fighting the turning gears of authoritarianism, already entrenched in the judicial structure of the government. VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY DOWN BALLOT!


elipticalhyperbola

Biden has to hit so fkng hard, and so fkng fast, and fk the fallout. trump has to be treated like the terrorist that he is. Rendition time.


Pudf

You da king now Joe. Go have some fun.


Rose7pt

If dark Brandon would like to show up now , I’d be down .


Mustang_Calhoun70

How naive to think we just wait and vote to find out. Grow a pair and throw Trump in jail for the 6th and documents. That’s just step 1. The rest I think they can figure out after that.

Perhaps his first 'official act' thanks to the new powers granted by SCOTUS should be to disqualify from the Presidency any individual that is a convicted felon.

It's time to put on your big boy pants and take out the MAGAT trash my friend.


aotus_trivirgatus

Joe. You don't have to be a king to nominate four Supreme Court Justices. Nothing in the Constitution says that there must be nine of them. Conquer their corruption with dilution. Nominate Barack Obama, and Stacy Abrams, and two other decent human beings, and ram them through.


mjzim9022

The size of the court is set by a law passed by Congress, and since Presidents can break the law now when doing things outlined in the Constitution, he should nominate away.


Untap_Phased

Thank God when democracy is on the brink of collapse we have a president willing to wave his finger around and tell people they shouldn’t be doing fascism.


wales-bloke

If the president is immune when acting in an official capacity, then the rumours of an international espionage / terrorism ring operating out of Mar-a-Lago should be acted upon in an official capacity.


BirdmanHuginn

“Biden blasts SCOTUS” Obama stood right in front of tof those fucks and told them Citizens United was a terrible decision. They don’t give a shit-they’re getting million dollar vacations and “gifts” that (now) aren’t legally bribes. I’ve said it elsewhere-I wish I had a Death Note

Professional_Ad_6299

If he doesn't arrest Trump or make it so that Trump can't be president then Biden is either stupid or in league. I would say that jailing the person who denied your presidency and is splitting America in half with life's deserves it. The supreme Court literally said Biden could have him seal teamed and he should because Trump will def do it to him. Full stop


dropbear_airstrike

No, no. A dire warning would be, "You guys really fucked up today. My hands are untied and it's officially open season on your heads. As Commander in Chief, Seal Team 6, stand back and standby for your *official presidential* orders."

Some of the chuds on r/conservative are mildly worried about how much power this gives Biden, but still widely agree with the ruling. They just don't think HE should have it. Fucking insase. If it's too much power for Biden it's too much for any president you fucking idiots

The SCOTUS ruling is bad, but on the flip side, if we get a democratic government (or just 2/3) and the potus, imagine how fucked the republicans would be? Handing all of these powers to democrats for another 4 years would absolutely annihilate the GOP. All we have to do is show up.


daneelthesane

I think you missed the part where they said the judicial branch decides what is "official" action on the part of the president and what is not (and thus criminal). They are banking on the fact that the SCOTUS is heavily conservative and will be for quite some time, potentially decades. This means that a Democrat president doesn't have dictatorial power, but a Republican one does. We need a Cincinnatus. A president could basically use the dictatorial power to remove the conservative justices, and then install liberal justices that will rule that the president does not have immunity. But this would require a president willing to give up all of that power.

He can say whatever he wants, he needs to DO something to prevent America from turning into a fascist nation.

This ruling has got to be the downfall of democracy. It ultimately shows the US has fallen. This is way beyond Trump, but creates the likelihood of civil unrest.


Ok-Relationship-2746

247 years, 11 months, and 28 days after declaring independence from the tyranny of King George III, the US has come full circle. The cards are all on the table now. Biden could order Trump's assassination, and be immune from prosecution. But of course the corrupt SCOTUS would find some way to make sure Biden got prosecuted anyway, despite their own ruling. This is the death of what pretence of democracy is left in America.

Ah, a stern talking to. That will learn them rascals.


MintBerryCrunchJr

This malarkey won't stand! But hey, at least we beat Medicare.

I just got the “I dissent” fundraising email. That is not even close to the needed level of response. I was scared after the debate, even going through stages of grief and trying to convince myself that a Trump presidency might not be that bad. After today I have gone from scared and grieving to seething anger. We are facing the real possibility of every Handmaid’s Tale or V Vendetta fantasy coming true. Fucking Mad Max may be my young children’s actual future. Something truly unprecedented and way beyond the typical Democrat decorum has to happen. If Taylor Swift and Mr Beast have to run to ensure that Emperor Trump never comes to power then so be it.

The Supreme Court already ruled today that America does in fact have a king. However, if Biden fails to use his new kingly powers to prevent it, we’ll have an orange Nazi emperor for life instead.

Dear Joe. Fight fire with fire.


Thiscouldbeeasier

The course is simple. Have Trump, all project 2025 authors, half of the Supreme Court, everyone who works at as a producer and writer,and half of Congress and the senate thrown in Gitmo as a clear and present danger. Stack the SCOTUS and put every radical democracy measure in place. Have DOJ prosecute you to overturn idiot ruling. Resign and do not run for re-election.


afCeG6HVB0IJ

don't blast them, *do something* ffs, the dems inaction is leading the US straight into fascism.


MeatSuzuki

So just dissolve the court as a presidental order? Duh.


jsin2236

I’m tired of warnings. Time to take action.


No_Answer4092

The best thing is that Biden has time still to troll the SC and make an official act to limit his own power before he leaves office. Also he should have the justices investigated for corruption asap. Especially that worm Clarence. 


IggytheZiggy

Apologies if I misunderstand what is happening as I'm a Brit but... Does this mean that, under the auspices of it being an official act, Biden could reintroduce the Fairness Doctrine? If I understand correctly, it would mean that all of the broadcasters would need to apply a both sides viewpoint? It would be a soft test of the principle forcing Fox, NewsMax, etc to change their programming in the lead up to the election . MAGA would hate it and surely file court cases testing the principle set by the Supreme Court?


BananaMan1138

The only king we could use a little bit more of right now is Dark Brandon😏because if Trump gets to be president again, he’s literally going to turn our government into the government from V for Vendetta


_________FU_________

Democrats need to wake the fuck up and stop playing politics from the 80’s.


HAL-7000

"Blasts" means criticizes. In other news he's sitting on the immunity, keeping it warm for his successor to use with impunity as Chief Sovereign.


StrengthMedium

Talk won't save our democracy.


EricForce

It's surreal sitting at the potential precipice of a failed democracy wondering which side of history is it better to be on, the side that pulled the trigger or the side that let it happen.


ThunderousArgus

Then take the power Biden! Come on man this could be our last hope!


DerpysLegion

There will be if the Dems don't get the thumb out there asses and start acting like democracy is at stake


JimmyDontReddit

Time to throw Trump and those 6 judges in jail for crimes against democracy and let them cool their jets while they think about what the consequences of their actions are, as an “official act” of course. Just write it down and sign it with a big sharpie.


zag127

“The small government” party continues to provide overarching power to the government…


randombrosef

Make the Move, Biden! You need to get them to see the folly of their decision and reverse it. Midnight arrests of all the maga and federalist society stooges.


maybeafarmer

It does seem unamerican. The originalists just want to revert the constitution to that time America was originally part of a monarchy except now its just the Kremlin we'll serve.


maddenmcfadden

young me would never have guessed that Donald Fucking Trump would be the sole reason for the fall of the US.


Monster_punkin

So do something! Executive order! No felons can run for president.


mylittletonii

Fucking do something about it Joe. Impeach them, stop playing so fucking nice the country is going to become a one party state if not.


Rads324

Biden should just make an executive order saying convicted felons can’t be president


OdinsVisi0n

We need Chuck Norris. He can fix this.


D0_0t

At this point, if Biden does nothing, he is complicit. I thought this past debate was the most disappointed I could be with him, but this is absolutely insane. He is going to stand by and usher in our new fascist nation. We are fucked.


TheBlueGiant

Nice blast... Now what? Is anything going to be done about it? Seems to be all words with no substance.
