The most infuriating thing about that whole plot arc was that the people bringing the case to the Supreme Court had absolutely no standing to even file a complaint, and Biden’s actions were actually, through any logical reading of the law, completely within his authority, but they were like “lol no”

and Biden, a consummate Democrat, just was like “well that’s all we can do, corpo has spoken.”

I am still convinced Harris lost in most states because people were looking for Biden’s name on the ballot and couldn’t find Kamala so they just circled Trump.

You give people way too much credit. They enthusiastically voted for Trump, knowing what he is.

Question for the Americans. The Supreme Court has ruled that presidents enjoy automatic immunity for anything they do as part of their official duties (e.g., arrest or kill people). Can he use this to forgive student loans? Like couldn't he just say "I almost fell down the stairs exiting Air Force One yesterday, and the only way I could save myself was by violently flailing my arms in search of the railing while also forgiving student loans"?

Unfortunately, no. Immunity means that Biden could, theoretically, personally murder every judge who stopped student loan forgiveness, but not that he could give student loan forgiveness the force of law.

If you'll notice, this is extremely useful for crooked cunts like Trump, and borderline useless for every other variety of politician, including imaginationless narrowed-sighted milquetoast moderates like Biden.

No, all the supreme court said was: "You can't do anything illegal, but if you do, you won't get in trouble for it."

So the president still have to find those "yes-men" in the government to do the deed.

He can say: "All student loans are now void. BURN ALL THE RECORDS"

The people that run those departments that administers the student loans would be like: "Um... so do we burn these records or what?" and if even one copy of those records survive, its pointless.

Same with trying to kill the supreme court, doesn't matter. I doubt anyone is obeying those orders. Joe can have a meeting with the justices and then shoot them himself, and he might ne immume. But is that gonna matter? Jan 20 comes and republicans pack the court with even more Magats.

Trying to kill trump doesnt work, he got like so many bodyguards both private and SS, and also if he dies, vance would just take over, or mike johnson, or pres pro tem of senate, like the line of succession is all republicans.

Its over.
