Logical next step?

[ThisIsMe]

First, I'm not advocating for any harm to come to trump, or any of his supporters, but in the light of the recent Supreme court ruling, serious uncomfortable questions present themselves. A reasonable person might believe trumps threats to seek revenge on his opponents, as well as his offer to trade environmental protections for a billion dollars present a threat to the constitution and the wellbeing of the country. Having sworn to protect and defend the constitution, and in light of the new presidential authority, it is Biden's duty to prevent any chance of trump winning the upcoming presidential election in any way his newfound authority allows. Should Biden, exercise his newfound authority by imprisoning trump in Guantanamo, or some other way? If congress opposes such actions, they can always impeach him if they can get enough of our representatives to find him guilty.

I say go for it

Arresting a imprisoning an insurrectionist is definitely part of the president's job discretion

As soon as you find an insurrectionist…then he can get after it

 

[ThisIsMe]

Hell - LOCK HIM UP!! it's what trump would do.

Biden should get right on that. You all should be calling the white house switchboard, and telling Biden to arrest and imprison Trump.

Found one!

All Democrats pack up and move to Venezuela where Liberalism reins supreme and Skittles fall from the sky -- a leftist's Nirvana.

Americans are supposed to have equal protection under the law. That means you can't target one person for a "crime" that nobody else has been charged with ever! That's selective prosecution and is EXACTLY what was done to Donald Trump!

Right. Everybody is answerable to the same laws. Others who do what trump did in the same situation will be charged by the same laws that he is. If you don't like those laws, then change them.

 

[BULLDOG]

People are supporting Trump because they grasp the concept that if people in power can do that to a billionaire...then they can easily do it to someone who isn't rich. Biden is bleeding support from the black and Hispanic demographic because they KNOW what it's like when the Justice System is used to abuse those who aren't in power!

How many non-rich people will pay a porn star $130,000 to cover up an affair, and then forge the books to cover it up? I think I'll be OK in that department. What about you?

 

[BULLDOG]

The SC certainly gave him that authority. Biden has too much integrity to exercise that authority.

 

[Dragonlady]

It's all by Dems, and Dems by nature are collectivists.

No it is not, and no they are not.

You people have nothing but lies and conspiracy theories.

Name another person who has been charged and convicted by the same law that Trump was, Bulldog! Name another person that was fined a half a billion dollars for an alleged "fraud" that had no victim!

NDA's are common actually. Who forged what books? Trump put down the NDA as a legal expense. Claiming THAT is a cover up is laughable! What was he supposed to do...put it down as "Payment to porn star to keep her from embarrassing my family"? You obviously don't grasp what NDA's are for!

Nobody had ever been charged with robbing the bank in my little town. Should the first one to do that be given a pass?

It was a "payment to a porn star"

The funny part is that Trump and his supporters don't realize that this ruling applies to Biden too. Th e y just gave Biden a get out of jail free card to break any laws he wants before he leaves office. He is now completely immune from criminal prosecution, unless he is removed from office by impeachment, and the GOP don't have the votes to remove convict him in the senate.

So, don't be surprised if Biden takes advantage of it.

Trump is safe. Biden is too ethical to do that.

 

[lantern2814]

Not only are some laws good and some bad, crooked DAs, AGs and prosecutors have WIDE latitude on who they will indict. You either are stupid and don't know this, or you're not stupid and are just ignoring the fact.

At any rate, Biden is bleeding minority support because they surely DO know the difference.

Just see Fat Alvin claiming his department has NO money to prosecute criminal illegals, yet somehow spends millions on a phony case against Trump that they now realize will be tossed entirely on appeal.

 

[Leviticus]

SCOTUS has not given Biden nor any future president any "new found authority." They are merely confirming qualified immunity for the Executive, just like other legal entities have, law enforcement, etc. This is not a "get out of jail free" card to commit whatever illegal and criminal acts they want. Those acts are still illegal and criminal and not within the authority of the Executive.

The pearl clutching from you partisan clowns was more than predictable. In fact, if the ruling had gone the other way it would be MAGA wetting themselves claiming it's a conspiracy against Trump, somebody got to the judges, etc.

You all need to grow up.

Executive immunity has traditionally only applied to things that are done as part of the president's official duties, such as if the president has to order the national guard to put down a domestic threat, he can't be charged with a crime or sued if a civilian gets caught in the crossfire. But there were always things that were always considered outside of the President's official duties, such as election crimes.


The court just ruled that the president has complete immunity for ALL crimes committed while in office, even if they wouldn't have been covered by executive immunity before the ruling.

This also applies to Biden. So, any crimes Biden commits from now until he leaves office, he is immune from all criminal and civil liability. They just gave Biden immunity if he wants to break the law.

Have other people been charged with robbing other banks in your State? Many times I'm assuming? When they were caught were they were prosecuted under the statute pertaining to that crime? Given appropriate sentences using prior convictions as a guideline? That's the way the law SHOULD be administered!

Your analogy is awful. Robbing a bank is a clear cut crime with clear cut penalties. Democratic DA's and AG's were literally inventing a new way to charge misdemeanors that had expired by pretending that those misdemeanors were to influence an election and therefore turning them into felonies! Show me one other case where that was done to someone! Can you?

You seem to forget that the Biden admin already did everything you mentioned here.
But more.
During Covid, the Biden admin worked hand in hand to delete free speech, ban members of social media. Shut down YouTube accounts.
Biden is the one who wrecked individual rights.

Oh... sorry... he is a Democrat, so I forgot that doesn't count.
Right?

Hell, Leviticus...as long as Merrick Garland is the AG and Christopher Wray runs the FBI...doesn't Joe Biden already have a get out of jail free card? He's the drooling old man too senile to know that he's done wrong...which means that he already has been getting away with the same "crimes" that they're going after Trump for!
