Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well according to the supreme court he could just order Seal Team Six to kill Trump as long as he called it an "official act".
But Dark Brandon never came...
Supreme court said if Biden tried to give such orders, he cannot be prosecuted for it.
But Supreme court never gave the president the authority to do it.
Basically it favors republicans because the military and law enforcement leans right wing.
Biden: "Kill donald trump for his treason against the United States"
Military: "Sorry Mr.President, we're unable to do that"
Biden cannot be prosecuted for the attempt, but the attempt won't suceed either
trump: "Kill these dEMs, they very bigly bad for 'murica"
Military, after trump's purges: "Yes sir"
I think he should have started jailing congressmen until they agreed to make a law overturning the immunity decision.
But that can "make things worse" in the same way these pardons did. And they were extremely aware of that.
There's no winning in this scenario. The people voted against the rule of law. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize, but what are they supposed to do about it? Perform a coup against the will of the people? It's doing the same damn thing we were just trying to stop.
