(32,318 posts)but President Biden needs to say that if he commits a crime while he is president he should be treated like anyone else in America, whether it was an official or unofficial act.
President Biden should not get into a pissing contest with TSF on who can do what with his new power.
Joe needs to tell the American people that he does not want to be a king, does not want the power to break the law.
I hope his advisers do a better job with this speech than they did for the debate, this speech tonight is a very important speech that can make or break President Biden's chances for a 2nd term.
Think. Again.

(22,211 posts)But hey! We'd have clean hands while suffering under the new theocratic dictatorship. Sorry, but that ain't me. Gotta break some eggs sometimes.
We went high when they went low in 2016 and look where that got us. If they want to go low this low, I say we bury the motherfuckers.
Think. Again.

(32,318 posts)it will get him more votes in November. We shall see if I am right or wrong, but whatever Joe says tonight is a BFD.
If Joe gets tough about the decision I will be on board with him.

(35,075 posts)tomorrow and this week to stop this corrupt, above the law court. They are terrorizing the nation with impunity. Whoever has the power to stop them needs to do so immediately. Even if it includes using their insane rulings against them ("official act" their asses out of there or add new justices).

(3,396 posts)Everyone needs to get real comfy with the possibility that WE may have to break some laws to save our country.
I DO NOT MEAN VIOLENCE.
What I mean is we may have to completely disregard the bullshit laws they are enacting and disregard authority. In the face of half our population having their natural rights taken away, fuck them we need to do what is right and show the country that they will not break us. We are going to have to be self governed by refusing to be ok with what they are doing. I know how ridiculous that sounds. But when they take over
. And they are hell bent on theowing morality, ethics and just plain goodness out the window. We have to refuse to accept it.
They may not win this election and I hope to fuck they dont but they are NEVER, EVER, EVER, going to stop. They will not stop.

(12,701 posts)Shock and awe. Trump and his henchmen depend on shocking folks with their bold lies and criminal actions. We stand and stare in disbelief as they commit crimes in plain sight. Humanity withers with each brazen attack. I stand with Joe on everything he said in this short and bittersweet statement. Sadly, as ever, the majority of our distracted or otherwise engaged fellow citizens will never hear this message. If they do it will be edited and twisted by malign news agencies. Hopefully the few 'undecided' folk in our midst will wake up to the danger before we are all engulfed in the next wave of the Fascist takeover of our nation.
