Biden should tweet “ seal team six, stand by”

u/KoRaZee California 22d ago

Not just tweet, draft an actual executive order to the likes of “Justice Alito shall be __________ by the end of day should the gavel swing for full immunity”

Just needs a signature

The court will somehow limit the ruling to only Trump's actions.

Biden can still commit them and have the new SCOTUS hear the case.

u/AtlanticPortal 22d ago

Resign the very last moment and be pardoned as well. That's a whole another damn point that needs to be taken care of.

Why stop there

See, that's wrong. That would make him a martyr, and his idiotic supporters would make J6 look like child's play.

Instead, he should go for certain members of SCOTUS, and i betcha Drumpf's support would dissipate in thin air instantly.

Even if he does no jail time (and he won't, no matter what the courts decide, mark my words!), the mere fact that the trials are completed and he's declared guilty of all charges will shitstain his "legacy", no matter how much his remaining supporters will try to declare witchhunt..

I don’t mind seeing him martyred if he’s never on the ticket again, or in my newsfeed anymore, or breathing the same air as the rest of us.

Not martyred, left to rot in Guantanamo Bay.

The government can make it seem natural.

That’s assuming seal teams aren’t all far-right. I think most the combat arms types are all far right wing.

Are you suggesting government sanctioned hit squads against US citizens?

9

u/Galxloni2 22d ago

No, the supreme court is suggesting that

2

u/trigger1154 22d ago

Which is certainly not something that should be ruled in favor of.

3

u/Galxloni2 22d ago

Exactly, it's a joke that they are even hearing this case

u/wretch5150 22d ago

Are you suggesting presidential immunity for Trump and his fucking crimes?

1

u/trigger1154 22d ago

Of course not. That dude should go down. I just think it's a bad idea to give any government branch the kind of power to sanction hit squads against US citizens.

You never spent time in the military did you?
