      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.

      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
