      Sure. Even better, if you replace them with ones that will rule this was an error and the president only gets qualified immunity, you’ll still be in the clear because you were acting on what you thought the law was.

        The better move is actually remove the SC, replace it with a new one that repeals all Republican changes since 1980.

        Allow the president immunity until the end of this term, then make it a death penalty offence to basically do anything Trump or his cronies have done.

        After all of MAGAs leaders are in jail or in the ground for the treason they committed RETIRE and hold an election again.

        Their plan will be put back decades AND it’ll be in the light of day for everyone to see.

        We can’t win forever but we can win for a while longer

      If he went to their homes and strangled them himself? Yes. If he ordered someone to do it. The laws and UCMJ apply to those people so no. There’s this thing people keep forgetting about. The UCMJ isn’t just guidelines. It’s actual rules. And murder is still illegal.

        I was actually think of him pulling a Vlad the Impaler and inviting them over for dinner.

        If there’s anything I learned from the Trump years, hell even the Bush II years, is that there are no rules if no one enforces them.

    We are cooked. Completely cooked. American democracy is over and it’s time to prepare for a harsh right wing fascist regime.

    …but vote for Biden.

    It was too late 12 years ago, this is everything playing out. Everyone acted like the 2020 election was our fight to keep democracy, we had already lost it by then, the conservative plan just hadn’t been completed yet.

    I am not saying you should go vote and vote for Biden. I am saying that, we can never, ever elect another Republican again, or we are fucked, I do not see the that happening. If we beat trump in 2024, we may not in 2028, or new trump, whoever the new right wing strong man is may win in 2032.

    It’s already over, it’s been over. Our chance to stop this was long before anyone even realized it was a problem.

    The problem didn’t start, nor does it end with trump, he is just a convenient strong man to put as the face of the movement

      Wow, that’s a good point, but some people may take it the wrong way and say things like ‘what taco bell are we meeting up at to plan to depose the current massively corrupt Supreme… taco?’ ‘Is surprise attacks on Taco Bell’s military installations a viable objective?’ ‘Would the taco bell ‘fresh crew’ join the efforts to over turn the corporate structure?’ ‘Or should we all just move to Spain and enjoy the authentic taste of a secular society with universal healthcare and tapas as far as the eye can see’?

    Cyberpunk Intensifies.

    How long until the President is also the sitting CEO of Raytheon or Blackwater?

    trump said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and not lose any votes. this all seems like it’s going according to plan.
