    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.

    Alexandria is at what is supposed to be one of the highest echelons in out government and all she can do is send out a tweet?

    Couldn’t the DNC get together and start raising alarm bells? This is dereliction of duty all around.

    The government is billowing smoke and people are running in with tnt rather than fire hoses.

      “Congress members should be allowed to single handedly overrule a court of law while the trial is in process, based on their personal opinion. I am very smart.”

        Who said that? Things have escalated beyond the bounds of responsible governing. What is wrong with a concerted effort speaking out against it?

            I stated what I thought she could do. She can speak with her colleagues. She can speak with the media. She can hold town halls. There is something seriously wrong with what’s going on and you have congress who will just let the judicial branch over extend their power.

            When a leader, or effectively hundreds of leaders, cannot lead they are no longer leaders. They are place holders.

    Hear me out here. It’s not trump, he’s a pawn that will be assassinated after election to further the dictatorship that they are planning. It’s a coup from the shadows. He’s just dumb enough to do what they want.

    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

      Biden/Trump/Whoever is president could simply officially order one of his top officers to push a button that drops a hellfire missile on their political opponent and then pardon them. The President is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and also has the executive privilege of pardon available to them at their discretion for any reason or no reason at all. I’m 100% sure the president will find somebody in the chain of command with morals flexible enough to obey such an order.

      And since you can’t go after the man himself because a corrupt SCOTUS is apparently poised to rule that they have immunity for “official acts” which is a nebulously defined term that can apply to literally any heinous act that they want, the country has essentially created a king by proxy.

      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.

      And wouldn’t anyone in the line of succession to the presidency just be able to kill all those in front of them to take the throne seat of president, thus becoming immune from the act of killing their predessesors?

    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.
