‘There Are No Kings in America’: Biden Blasts Supreme Court, Issues Dire Warning After Immunity Ruling

“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”

Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

If only Biden was in power right now. And he could abuse his kingly powers to remove the kingly powers and restore Democracy.

But of course this is an amazing carrot to keep everyone voting for Genocide Joe. Just like how Obama refused to encode Roe v Wade to use it as a carrot in the elections.

Have you heard of the congress... You know, the legislation branch of the USA?

Because the president had unilateral authority to make laws, right?

Nevermind Mitch McConnell standing up in the senate and saying they'd refuse to cooperate with Obama, it's Obama's fault.

Yep. It was all one giant act of pretending not to have power to fix things. Because they don't want to fix things.

Trump took off the mask and proved it. And now the Supreme Court confirmed and publicly stated that the President can do whatever he wants.

The power to make laws, like codifying Roe vs Wade, lies with congress.

I'm peeved about the SC ruling too, but they didn't unilaterally hand over all governmental power to the executive.

Edit: like that's what defines him and not all american presidents since decades. Grow up and critic the man for what he's different in at least.

Blue MAGA doesn't believe in Genocide of course.

Biden: What’s happening in Gaza ‘is not genocide’

President Joe Biden on Monday sought to reassure Jewish voters that he stands firmly with Israel, calling for the full defeat of Hamas and denouncing the International Criminal Court’s assertion that Israel’s leaders are guilty of war crimes for their campaign in Gaza.

They either don't believe it's happening or support, so all the "Trump would do worse genocide" is bullshit.
