    I think you misunderstand. I just won’t be calling Biden “uncle Joe” or the like because he has all the information and power in the world to have brought trump to justice, but didn’t

        Could’ve shot him in the face and then got a presidential pardon. Jokes aside, so many people overestimate the power of the US president.

            Presidential immunity from anything he does even the injustice of forcing trump go through trial with judges who haven’t been compromised by trump interests and face repercussions for his actions from the last 8 years

            Edited to add: when they go low, go low with them

              The Court declared that a President is immune from prosecution when exercising the ‘core powers’ of the presidency. Not from anything they do.

              If a president could force their political opponent to face trial with judges chosen by the president then that could be weaponized by future presidents like Trump or anyone like him.

        One simple thing he could have done would be to have not run for president again when he said he wasn’t going to, making Harris have a shorter time campaigning and giving Trump a huge head start.

        He can barely function from a physical and mental perspective. He should have GTFO the moment he could. It’s a wonder we didn’t have anyone younger from the beginning.
