Biden isn’t responsible for any of that though. The courts should have stopped Trump nothis oppenent in the election

edit: To all thinking Biden could or should have directly intervened to prevent Trump from running how do you think he can legally do so without being seen as a dictator?

The CIA has toppled democracies around the world. So its bullshit to say the president has his hands tied...

[–] MothmanDelorian 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If a leader utilizes the intelligence agencies to put down opposition politicians then they are an authoritarian dictator. Biden isn’t that stupid.

Be careful when you fight monsters. Biden was fucked either way if I'm being honest, I'd even bet a handful of cash that a prominent Dem, perhaps even Biden, gets merked within two years.

Youre right. Should just let a traitor waltz in and be the authoritarian dictator. We'll just put Biden in the history book beside Hindenburg.

He is responsible for Merrick Fucking Garland.

[–] MothmanDelorian 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And Garland dropped the ball not Biden.

It's weird how many people are advocating for authoritarian actions.

Lol

What could poor little Biden do? He's just the President!

Fucking put a black bag over Trump's head and execute him with a shotgun engraved with the words "Official Acts" for one thing, that's what he could have done.

[–] MothmanDelorian 0 points 4 weeks ago

I refer you to the last sentence of my previous post

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Biden could have used an "official act" to prove a point. He's old and could have made the sacrifice for the greater good since by the time the courts were done he is on his death bed. Would have been interesting to watch.

by not giving a shit about optics in the same way he bailed his son out. who cares if people see him as a dictator?

Pardoning his son from witch-hunts by the GOP isn’t dictatorial.Legally preventing the opposition from running candidates is absolutely dictatorial.

pardoning witch hunts? hunter avoided paying taxes and got caught. why should he not pay the price for his crime?

[–] MothmanDelorian -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Because typically tax evasion is not handled by Congress. Surely you realized that it was really weird that Congress was looking into misdemeanor criminal violations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A great deal of the things congress seems to investigate are stupid. Like the whole baseball and steroids thing. And most of the rest of their investigations are dog and pony shows.

[–] MothmanDelorian 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There aren't many if any cases of them targeting an individual citizen with zero role in government over simple crimes.

This was done because the GOP is a clown show and needs to put on spectacles to entertain their supporters. Hunter Biden shoukd have been in a court like any other private citizen.

Baseball and steroids was a pet issue for GWB as I recall and if I recall correctly he woukd have pursued that had he become commissioner instead of POTUS.

[–] big_slap 2 points 1 month ago

I find it weird, yes. I guess I just don't care about what's weird or not anymore since weird actions have very real results.

its only going to get weirder. nobody on the left wants to be painted as the person who overstepped societal norms they shouldnt have in order to keep crazy in check.

oh well! what are ya gonna do lol

The wonderful US democracy is based on a DNC calculating that Jan 6th makes Trump the best opponent to keep around, before deciding after Oct 7th, that they should help elect him for Israel.
