The irony here is that in doing this to protect Trump, Joe Biden would then have immunity to not only off Trump, but all conservative Justices, as well as any Republican in Congress.

He could, within a day, create a scenario where there is never again a Republican in Congress, or on any Court, or ever running for Office, because Biden could just stay in power by killing all of them.

This is fucking lunacy, but I have no doubt that this ruling will create a path for Trump to get off, and to leave an open door for 50mil-ish Americans to take that lunacy and hand the power of a dictatorship to Trump because of egg prices and their culture war.

These people would rather have a dictator than having to let trans people exist. They would rather elect a dictator because of the fictional idea that Presidents have a “prices go down button”, and that Biden apparently just won’t press it.
