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.”

    Killing a non combatant for no reason even if the commander in chief gives the order might be a bit of a problem under the ucmj.

    Kill them too. 🤷‍♀️

    Also I think a drone strike would be more effective. Biden knows where they live, after all.

      At this point I have to assume you are either trolling or seriously unbalanced.

      Good luck either way.

        🙄

        The Court just gave him the power to kill anyone he wants. Not my fault that it’s extremely fucking stupid!
