but but... i thought the president has 100% total immunity even when ordering the assassination of a political rival !?

It would be legal. And viable.

And it's how he envisions solving the problem of a viable contender.

But but…. I thought Biden is suffering from some mental decay and is incapable of thinking.

The same way that they say: migrant workers are lazy welfare queens who are simultaneously taking all our jobs.

Just signaling his own intentions if given the chance.

Yeah, when they wouldn’t even enter a closet locked with a bathroom knob. Total assault, massively violent “raid”.

[-] geekworking 31 points 3 weeks ago

They intentionally planned it for when he was not even in the state.

I'm no assassin, but I am pretty sure if you are gunning for somebody, you don't make sure the target is somewhere else where there is zero possibility of them showing up while you are there.

Another case of Democrats not taking action when they had the opportunity.

Every accusation is a confession.

[-] Etterra 7 points 3 weeks ago

That's the Republican way.

[-] Son_of_dad 27 points 3 weeks ago

According to Trump's lawyers arguments on immunity, Biden would be within his rights to assassinate him

[-] Doomsider 24 points 3 weeks ago

So then it is suffice to say Trump has floated the idea of offing our current President. I am so sick of even hearing his stupid name at this point.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

Trump has already said that Biden should get the electric chair. How that doesn't count as a threat, idfk.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

I wish Biden were that cool.

[-] paddirn 13 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, is that a problem now?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

You mean like every cop going to a mental health call? This is a world you helped build.

[-] Suavevillain 11 points 3 weeks ago

The Biden that Trump and Right Wingers make up sounds like the guy I actually want to be President.

Mango Mussolini should have locked and loaded during the Vietnam War, but the shitbag chickened out.

A sitting president was trying to kill me, so I'm pushing the idea that any president can legally have political opponents killed

It's not that he "falsely said" something. It doesn't even matter whether it's true or false and it's stupid to spend time debating whether he was right or wrong to say what he said. What he did by saying that was to give a rallying cry to whip up the fury of people who already believe in him. It doesn't matter if it's real, it just matters that they stay angry.

Its a shame they didn't
