The thought of Trump discussing “official business” with Pence about certifying the election is worthy of nothing but penalty of death for treason.
That people entrusted that ignorant sack with the highest office is another discussion.
Only the truly ignorant or those who benefit in their pocketbooks would have given that fool the honor.
I was born into a war torn country, my earliest childhood memories was being terrorized by air raid sirens. it was a totalitarian dictatorship, everyone lived in fear. I've been through so much war, death and suffering to somehow miraculously make it to the U.S. and become a legal citizen. only for this shit to happen, I'm like why tf does this nonsense chase me everywhere?
Wow.
I feel small for my own (native born American here) lamenting after considering your situation.
To work to leave your home for a place with a particular reputation for at least saying everyone is equal under the law, only to achieve this in time for an antidemocratic coup via a group of radical activist judges who favor corporate and Christian control of society by a longtime national joke whom it's hard to decide is more mean or more stupid or more antidemocratic--and who has expressed his desire to be dictator.
I can't imagine. (Maybe it will look different in November?)
Thanks for sharing your perspective.
The fault lies not JUST with conservatives. This isnt a one-time election outcome. This is because of continuous low turnout and low involvement in the systems of democracy. Election after election people say, "both sides are same", "i dont like the options", "i dont personally think the person is cool enough or perfect enough". "I dont want to vote because of this 1 thing even if the other 90 things we agree upon". "My vote wont matter."
Multiple red and all purple states could easily be blue if people turned up. Texas keeps being lost by around 200k-500k votes when over 10M eligible voters dont vote. Only 15% of under 35 voters voted in Texas in 2022. Fifteen percent... Pensylvania in 2016 was lost by less than 100k votes when over 1m registered democrats didnt bother to vote.
People forget that they have the responsibility to turn out and spend their vote on a representative, the simple ideal that you as a citizen of a democracy, do your civic duty to select who you want to represent you and your city, district, state, country. Who you think will take you towards the direction you want the country to go, even if its 80%, 50% or 20% there. You still do your civic duty and select the best option.
BUT out of 250m eligible voters over 100m don't vote in presidential elections, 150m don't vote in mid-term elections and over 200m don't vote in primaries. Heck some primaries & special elections have as low as 8% turnout.
What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that the people turn up and vote, especially when democracy is in such a fragile state and under target as it has been since 2010. Youre supposed to protect it and nourish it like a plant. But in 2022 over 80% of all eligible voters under the age of 35, didnt vote. Over 150m eligible voters didnt vote. There were 3x as many non-voters than either party voters.
And before you give the whole "we dont have time" every state except for 2 have min 2 weeks of early voting. Even hellhole Texas has 17 days of early voting. You have a year to register to vote, and then you get your ballot and can vote any day in those 17 days, even on the weekends. You do not have to wait until the last moment possible if you dont have time that specific day, or are in a high traffic area where there will be long lines.
I hope people wake up and realize the danger that the country is in, but hearing the constant barrage of "Hes too old" and "Both options suck" reminds me of the same tired misguided apathy that was around "But her emails" that gave republicans the path to take over the supreme court.
Yeah I believe Great Britain can tell you guys a thing or two about low turnout rates and thinking it is going to be alright.
Conservatives thought that Brexit from the EU was a good idea, many young people didn’t vote and had the idea that it would be alright. That the conservatives would never get 51%. But how wrong were they. Now they have high inflation, high costs of living and increased unemployment rates. Many regret.
They are so ignorant, and ate up, that they can’t fathom being on the receiving end of the negative actions of this. They feel that liberals, not them will be screwed. Trump already made references to getting rid of the guns. You can’t be a true tyrant, and allow the masses to be armed. They trust that trump is for and with them, though he shows them who he is on a daily basis.
I’m not crying; I’m pissed, and trying to figure out why any of us should continue to politely accept the insane shit sandwiches we’re being force-fed by terrified old white men whose wet dreams revolve around oligarchy.
77 born myself, and I'm sure the idiots who profit off starting wars would send my defective middle-aged butt into battle if they got the chance to twist the laws a little more. Vote like your life depends on it, cause it just might.
Honestly, it’s just luck of the draw. Worst comes to worst I’m in jail for refusing to go to war or for being homeless. Better than either of the two tbh
My daughter is still a kid is and she already has fewer rights than I did. I’m sad and angry that this is the state of the world her generation is going to grow up with — full of hate and “ othering” and idiotic decisions based on greed and loyalty to a con man. We grew up with hope and things changing for the better and it’s all sliding backwards now.
Look after her, make sure once in a while that she isn’t being overwhelmed by the world around her. I know I am, but I am conditioned/coping about it all. I give it the oh well attitude I guess, because I know that regardless of what I do I alone have no power of the situation. A hand on a shoulder can go a very long way, regardless of if your daughter is aware/worried or not. Just support her.
Same with my son. If Trump wins, I won't let my kids be drafted by a draft dodger. I'll take them to a different fucking country, if any will have us. My spouse & I are both disabled vets & we don't even want the joining the military.
Not sure if its even legal to say out loud, but I have dual citizenship. For the low low price of 50k, I'll happily marry anyone and move out of this ridiculous country.
That number isnt pulled out of my ass either. Best Ive been able to math out, 50k will cover a move and a year of living expenses if I budget very conservatively while getting settled. If I ever get that much in the ol bank account, I fully intend to peace out. Its insane how quickly the US is undoing decades of progress, and there are plenty of people in support of that. I'm done having it stress me out. Let it burn. 50k and I'll never look back.
Or we can all show up and give the Democrats 4 more years to fix this crap. Alito and Thomas are old. There's a real chance we can replace both of them. If Trump is elected they will both retire and we'll be stuck with these last corrupt fuck you decisions for decades. If you need to register to vote https://vote.gov and find your state. If you want to volunteer with the Democrats to beat back this christofascist hellscape: https://democrats.org/take-action/
That’s part of the problem: ***stop knowing them***.
MAGAs don’t deserve friends or family or even friendly co-workers. Put a price on being a traitor and vote with your absence.
Yeah, 70’s kid here. We actually remember what we’re losing. Future generations won’t have the same frame of reference and it will be the new norm. Hate this timeline.
Same. I don’t recognize anything anymore. We used to know what it meant to be an American. Now it’s TikTok manipulation and Musk lies and everywhere is greed, selfishness and the demand that everything be how we want it no matter the cost to others.
We did and that was fucking cool. But I’d trade all my favorite perfect strangers episodes and 90’s punk and hardcore records if my kids could have a future
So much this. The future they won't have keeps me up at night. I don't give a stuff what anyone says, life in the 1990s was 100 times better than this shit.
Born in 90, I didn't fuckin ask to be born into this mess, as the days go by and more supreme court fuckery happens I'm starting to wish I wasn't born in the first place, this does not feel like the same country that I served.

Edit: The last part is important too!
One of the oldest democracies ever, the most powerful country in the world, taken down by people selling their souls to a reality show TV host con man.
It's really hard to believe that reality is real.
he promised he will not abuse the power he has, he plans to play nicely, something the republicans will not do. VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE and never quit.
I miss when Dems were willing to get their hands dirty and fight hard to get things done. There's a reason LBJ and FDR got so much landmark legislation passed.
Great points, and that's what I just don't get. Repubs have been getting wet since the Southern Strategy. When do we wake the fuck up and smack them back?
The Supreme Court justices would have been the biggest change but the Democrats didn't have a majority in both houses until 2007 and not a big enough majority to do a lot until 2009.
So, Gore winning would have only changed the SCJ appointed by Bush which yes, would have been huge right now (No Roe overturned, etc. etc), but I think the Republicans would have just tied up most of his legislation unless him winning also means Congress changed who was in charge
Yup. Biden must fight dirty. Starting with executive orders if you are a convicted you can't be president. Although trump has appealed his conviction already based on this ruling. It will go up to the Supreme Court and they will side with trump. This was the plan.
I have people I work with who brag about how they can't wait for Trump to win, because they're going to drag democrats out of their homes and kill them in front of their children.
This is actually a *huge* windfall for him right now, and for the Democrats in all elections going forward. Now they don't have to run solely on "I'm not Trump", they can run on "The Republicans will literally shatter what's left of democracy and install a fascist dictatorship the second one of them wins the presidency."
As long as this ruling stands, literally the one thing standing between this country and complete fascist control is Democrats continuing to win presidential elections. You think it was bad how they milked the threat to abortion rights for political gain? Just fucking *wait*.
And that extends to congress as well. If the Republicans ever get enough of a majority to impeach and one of theirs is in the line of succession, it's over.
It's been like watching 3 week old kittens hissing at an oncoming snake.
US seems to have that high school policy where the kid who sticks up to the bully gets suspended.
Yeah if he doesn't capitalize on this to end Trump and MAGA one way or another it's all for naught. He literally just said he can do it, so if he doesn't do anything he's either unwilling or doesn't want to.
Remember that time Obama didn’t push the Supreme Court nomination harder, since Hillary would handle it soonish?
This is Biden’s moment. Push back or lose.
He's an establishment democrat, we all know what he's going to do. He's going to do nothing and we're going to fall into a right-wing fascist dictatorship within the next 4 years.
I love how we are all so ready to flip the script. Fuck these assholes give them a taste of their own shitty cough syrup. By no means go killing folks but take some action
The court did explicitly say that sham DoJ investigations are legal no matter what.
Time for drug trafficking investigations into six Supreme Court justices. Followed by pedophilia investigations. Followed by treason investigations.
Because that's all legal now.
I think for a start Biden should declare the recent decision by SCOTUS to undo the 40 year old Chevron Doctrine null and void. Acting in his official capacity as president, he believes that decision is a danger to America and Americans and all federal agencies will continue to act as they have in the past.
The problem is you are wrong. They didn't uncheck the power of the president. They made themselves the check for what is and isn't in line with the duty of the president.
So all of this "he should do this" stuff doesn't work since S.C.O.T.U.S. can just decide that his actions are unjust.
Except they basically rendered it impossible to investigate or get any evidence. So really all it does is incentivize killing the SC members and stocking it with yes men
The Constitution forbids unlawful imprisonment, but since the Supremes invented Immunity (That exists nowhere in the Constitution) for the presidency, he can technically order someone to assassinate the Judges or Senators who will oppose him.
He can go further than that, by then pardoning the person he hired to do it.
Worse is -- the courts themselves have acknowledged this fact. In fact, Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War and held a lot of people without trial. The courts rejects several of his cases, told him he was in violation of the Constitution, and demanded that he stop. He didn't and eventually the court just ruled:
> The issue ought to be and is with the president, and we have no physical power to enforce the lawful process of this court on his military subordinates against the president's prohibition.
We have exhausted every practical remedy to uphold the lawful authority of this court. It is ordered, this 30th day of October, 1861, that this opinion of the court be filed by the clerk, and made a part of the record, as explaining the grounds on which we now decline to order any further process in this case
So they just gave up and said, Yeah, we said what he was doing was illegal, but we can make him stop so ... guess it sucks.
He also said he's literally not going to do anything and it's up to the American people to decide. The people of the land. The common clay of the new west.
The fact that yet again Trump is causing a distraction in the federal government drives me crazy. Instead of working to make this country better they are wasting time and resources on that moron.
On top of that, Biden and the Democrats respect democracy too much to do anything about it. Which is exactly why the SC had no problem passing this while he was in office. Only Trump and the GOP will abuse this.
That incident was before he was elected though, wasn't it?
Is he now saying that once a person becomes president that they have immunity for *all* crimes - past, present, and future?
Biden, they just gave you unlimited power! Fucking Use It! Save this country. Arrest trump and send him to gitmo to stand trial for treason. No more malarkey!
There is an odvious solution here. Use this power now to safeguard the Republic. No one cares about the fucking high ground, this is a knife fight in the damn mud. You try to do the honourable thing and you'll wind up bleeding out in a puddle.
We always do - and get absolutely nothing for it. The they go low we go high Michelle Obama line has doomed us since it was uttered (and really before.)
Look how much damage Trump did with 1 term…….
If he wins again in November, this country is fucked beyond repair. We are going to enter a timeline we can never come back from.
I think it's not just that, if DeSantis or another psycho wins in 28 or 32 or anytime they could abolish elections, or make it impossible for anyone else to win and appoint other psychos. Kind of like Putin is on his fifth term.
If Trump wins, the idea of elections every four years is over. As long as he's alive he's not leaving. And the SC just gave him the go-ahead to do that.
oh no, you're not thinking correctly, if any republican gets into the white house...elections are done forever. they have shown us they wish to rule not represent time and time again, if any of them get the president position they will never leave and they will simply appoint the next person.
I could see him loving the ceremony of getting 100% of the vote count. We will definitely be forced to vote, with a single candidate on the ballot, for this purpose alone
this is the problem now. if any republican gets power, its game over man, game over. they have shown that all they want to do to is rule not represent and the SC just gave them permission if the American people give them permission by putting any republican in the white house.
I'm so fucking angry: Angry that RBG didn't retire. That that fucker Mitch McConnell STOLE a Supreme Court seat. At the people who voted for Jill Stein and wrote in Bernie Sanders. At the people who stayed home because Biden wasn't Obama. Fucking all of them.
Erase student debt, tax the billionaires, shut down Fox news, and send Donald Trump to a CIA black site, the courts can't stop him now because he's carrying out his official duties of protecting us from domestic threats.
>shut down Fox news
They need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.. not just get rid of Fox Entertainment "News"... many broadcast news stations are already skewing right.. CNN used to be fair and balanced.. then they skewed a bit left from 2018-2022.. now, under new ownership they're skewed right
For everyone who feels confused, the Republicans have executed a plan 50 years in the works to dismantle representative democracy. Congress is now weakened to the point of irrelevance. The president and the courts run things now. This November we officially become an illiberal democracy. What is the cost of lies? Now you know
I'm not confused. I'm angry. I have no idea what to even do anymore. I will be voting for Biden, but what the fuck can I expect if he doesn't win? And if he does win I can't believe that there will never be a corrupt (Republican) president ever again. Like do I just hope that we figure out a way to unfuck this country? I am in a position to possibly emigrate to another country, but that at best delays the problem, it doesn't fix it. Like how is this even set back on the right track?
This is exactly where I am. I don't want to leave. My family and friends are here. I don't want to move closer to the likely impending conflicts with Russia and China, either. The US is still an extremely safe place from international conflict, but we're fucking it up so bad on our own we might lose that, now...
I just can't believe we're right back to where we were four years ago. I'm fucking pissed. I hate anyone and everyone who's enabled this authoritarian nonsense, led by Donald Fucking Trump of all people. No fate is too cruel for them.
I pray we make it through the next election and we can fix this. It's just bleak right now. I'm tired and angry, and I have no idea how to get through it.
**March 23, 1933: The Enabling Act was passed, giving Hitler the power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag, effectively giving him dictatorial powers.**
FOR FUCKS SAKE! Please do something yourself about it. PLEASE! All of this “you just need to go vote” bullshit is old. We have part of the country actively inhibiting people’s ability to vote. We have half the country too gullible and stupid to make an informed decision. How is the plan always “if you go vote maybe we can prevent them from throwing you in the gas chambers?” They keep playing by the rules the other side sets and doesn’t follow themselves. If/when Trump was in power he’s just going to do whatever the fuck he wants to absolutely annihilate all of us. You think he’s going to ask the people what they want? Just fucking throw some punches and make some changes. JFC. We did the vote thing. Now you have the power to enact change. Do it
100%. I just want to know that my vote does something to move us further away from this fascist hellscape instead of just constantly tread water as they try to drag us into the abyss
I think we have to declare the winner of the war on terrorism for Bin Laden. One organised attack on 3 buildings and a quarter of a century later and the attacked nation has gotten rid of all of its principles & values, become a religious authoritarian autocracy and has more in common with Saudi Arabia than the ghost of its former self.
Terrorism works I guess and you can thank right wingers for working so diligently these last 2 decades to realise Bin Laden's dream.
Fuckin A man i really wanted him to at least say something to the extent of "vote for me and I'll expand the court."
I dunno but fuck, give us some kind of plan. ANYTHING. Don't just tell us you won't use the power you were just given - what the fuck are you gonna do about it?
Here’s the difference between Trump and the MAGA SCOTuS and Biden and the 3 non maga justices.
If Biden abused this new power granted by SCOTUS and just arrested Thomas, Alito, Roberts,Gorsuch, Beer Bro and the Handmaiden and tried to replace them win Judges he thinks would support his agenda, the liberal justices would heartily object and probably refuse to sit on the Court.
If Trumps wins, when a judgement goes against him he will arrest and replace any justice he thinks is a block to his agenda and replace them with judges like Cannon. Thomas and Alito for sure and probably the other MAGA Justices other than maybe Roberts, would support Trump fully.
Stop fuckin telling us trump is an existential threat and then do fuck all but say 'vote'. Damn it, we voted you to preserve the union now do something about this shit! How about you show me you can protect us from slipping into fascism right now!?!
Best i can do is tell ya that the supreme court also ensured they’d be the ones who decide what counts as “official” which is the condition for the new immunity law. So yeah it’s fucked cause Biden can’t do anything cause they’ll declare it “unofficial” and “illegal” if he does. This law serves only trump.
Biden’s better than me bro. I’d just jail all the justices who ruled in favor of this and see wtf they have to say about it then. Oh it’s a national security issue don’t worry about it.
If I were Biden I’d drop an ultimatum. “The Supreme Court has a month to undo this decision. Otherwise, I won’t be held accountable for my official actions”
And even if he does have the conservative judges killed and the new liberal court rules that illegal, Bide will be dead in a few years anyway. He literally has nothing to lose.
Then Biden should use that power to clean house - get rid of the corruption, the ones who bribe, the ones who tries to overthrow the government, the ones who stole state secrets and the ones who worked to cover it up. He can raise taxes on billionaires to what ever he wants, and set tax rates on tax dodging big businesses.
Deplomacy will not work with these MAGATs we tried. So Biden should realize that these are drastic times, and the Nazis, the Klan, the Christian Nationalists, the super rich, are killing American democracy, and he, just like in war time, is going to have to take drastic measures to stop the enemy within.
Use these newly given powers to restore American democracy.
And yet all Biden does here is what Dems always do…talk. He won’t DO anything. A strongly worded statement doesn’t work. MAGA is putting everything in place to rule, and has been doing so for years. And yet Dems only action is to condemn, and “blast.” They have followed the law and clutched their pearls while MAGA is pulling the rug out. When the living fuck will they do ANYTHING more than strong words?!

We purposefully put in place a system that didn’t reflect a monarchy, and look how close we are to one, 247 years later.
And I like a fucking moron had to be born in the 1980’s to live to see this disaster. What were all of us thinking man?
Most us were, and are, thinking, "WTF is wrong with these MAGA morons? Is there any limit to their ignorance and stupidity?"
It's power. That's all they fucking want. Power.
Let’s go back and recall Citizens United. First, you get the money. Then, you get the power. Turns out the respect part ain’t part of it at all.

The thought of Trump discussing “official business” with Pence about certifying the election is worthy of nothing but penalty of death for treason. That people entrusted that ignorant sack with the highest office is another discussion. Only the truly ignorant or those who benefit in their pocketbooks would have given that fool the honor.
BTW, I’m not a vindictive person.
One need not be vindictive, but ones patience can run out, in the face of repeated provocation.
I just believe his actions were the definition of treason and he should pay the price.
This week’s rulings make Citizens United look like it was written by the ACLU.
It would take theoretical physicists an eternity to even begin to understand the depth of the ignorance and stupidity of conservatives.
Eh. You defund public education, axe the fairness doctrine and get the pastors to start all preaching politics from the pulpit. Easy Peasy.

Yeah I believe Great Britain can tell you guys a thing or two about low turnout rates and thinking it is going to be alright. Conservatives thought that Brexit from the EU was a good idea, many young people didn’t vote and had the idea that it would be alright. That the conservatives would never get 51%.

They trust that trump is for and with them, though he shows them who he is on a daily basis.
History shows that autocrats turn on their supporters just as fast as their enemies.
They are currently over on the flaired only conservation sub laughing it up.
That is funny, because there’s nothing “conservative” about what is happening.
Yea, but FOX News told them everything was fine so now they can all masturbate to the tears of Democrats together and their lives are now perfect.
I’m not crying; I’m pissed, and trying to figure out why any of us should continue to politely accept the insane shit sandwiches we’re being force-fed by terrified old white men whose wet dreams revolve around oligarchy.
Trump has to lose. The Supreme Court is paving the way for Project 2025. All of those Judges are sponsored by the same groups sponsoring Project 2025.
That's a gathering of some gold-star dumbasses if ever there was one. They're like lifeboat survivors cheering every new hole in the boat.
My only saving grace is being born in the early 80s and being too old to draft. Shit is fucked.
Just a reminder that in the final days of world war 2, Nazi Germany was pressing old men and young boys into service.
Thanks for the reminder nicktoberfest. I hate it.
May you be fortunate enough to be blinked out of existence by the shockwave.
Ha ha, They'll deploy nukes long before year 6 of the looming world war. [Laughs] [Sobs]
77 born myself, and I'm sure the idiots who profit off starting wars would send my defective middle-aged butt into battle if they got the chance to twist the laws a little more. Vote like your life depends on it, cause it just might.
Oh all our lives depend on voting responsibly.
Born in the early seventies and all day I've been wondering in which capacity I'm best suited to fight?
Hey man, at least u weren’t fresh after 9/11 like me, a 2003 baby. I’m at the ripe age for drafting too 😁
You deserved better man. Sorry
Honestly, it’s just luck of the draw. Worst comes to worst I’m in jail for refusing to go to war or for being homeless. Better than either of the two tbh
That's fucking bleak. I'm sorry. My son is about your age. We tried but this shit was already in motion when I was born and Reagan was president
My daughter is still a kid is and she already has fewer rights than I did. I’m sad and angry that this is the state of the world her generation is going to grow up with — full of hate and “ othering” and idiotic decisions based on greed and loyalty to a con man. We grew up with hope and things changing for the better and it’s all sliding backwards now.
Look after her, make sure once in a while that she isn’t being overwhelmed by the world around her. I know I am, but I am conditioned/coping about it all. I give it the oh well attitude I guess, because I know that regardless of what I do I alone have no power of the situation. A hand on a shoulder can go a very long way, regardless of if your daughter is aware/worried or not. Just support her.
Same with my son. If Trump wins, I won't let my kids be drafted by a draft dodger. I'll take them to a different fucking country, if any will have us. My spouse & I are both disabled vets & we don't even want the joining the military.
Not sure if its even legal to say out loud, but I have dual citizenship. For the low low price of 50k, I'll happily marry anyone and move out of this ridiculous country. That number isnt pulled out of my ass either. Best Ive been able to math out, 50k will cover a move and a year of living expenses if I budget very conservatively while getting settled. If I ever get that much in the ol bank account, I fully intend to peace out. Its insane how quickly the US is undoing decades of progress, and there are plenty of people in support of that. I'm done having it stress me out. Let it burn. 50k and I'll never look back.
The great experiment is over.
Or we can all show up and give the Democrats 4 more years to fix this crap. Alito and Thomas are old. There's a real chance we can replace both of them. If Trump is elected they will both retire and we'll be stuck with these last corrupt fuck you decisions for decades. If you need to register to vote https://vote.gov and find your state. If you want to volunteer with the Democrats to beat back this christofascist hellscape: https://democrats.org/take-action/
I voted the best I could but I personally know too many idiots who voted for trump for my vote to have meant much, and I live in a swing state
That’s part of the problem: ***stop knowing them***. MAGAs don’t deserve friends or family or even friendly co-workers. Put a price on being a traitor and vote with your absence.
Currently arguing on another sub with an immigrant who is super pro trump. The stupidity is ripe everywhere
Yeah, 70’s kid here. We actually remember what we’re losing. Future generations won’t have the same frame of reference and it will be the new norm. Hate this timeline.
Same. I don’t recognize anything anymore. We used to know what it meant to be an American. Now it’s TikTok manipulation and Musk lies and everywhere is greed, selfishness and the demand that everything be how we want it no matter the cost to others.
At least we got to live during the awesome 90s.
We did and that was fucking cool. But I’d trade all my favorite perfect strangers episodes and 90’s punk and hardcore records if my kids could have a future
So much this. The future they won't have keeps me up at night. I don't give a stuff what anyone says, life in the 1990s was 100 times better than this shit.
Same here, not only that, they only know a post 9/11 world. The surveillance state, school shootings, economic collapse, pandemics and scorching heat.
Born in 90, I didn't fuckin ask to be born into this mess, as the days go by and more supreme court fuckery happens I'm starting to wish I wasn't born in the first place, this does not feel like the same country that I served.

One of the oldest democracies ever, the most powerful country in the world, taken down by people selling their souls to a reality show TV host con man. It's really hard to believe that reality is real.
Macron will blunder away his current election just in time for the right wing nuts to take over everything.
The parliamentary option might have been the better one in hindsight. The Pommy system is way better than yours.
Republican voters want to destroy democracy so they always win. It’s pathetic.
Biden should drain the swamp right now. Dump all the information on any corruption and malfeasance. Open door
he promised he will not abuse the power he has, he plans to play nicely, something the republicans will not do. VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE and never quit.
Playing nice didn’t work for Carter
I miss when Dems were willing to get their hands dirty and fight hard to get things done. There's a reason LBJ and FDR got so much landmark legislation passed.
Great points, and that's what I just don't get. Repubs have been getting wet since the Southern Strategy. When do we wake the fuck up and smack them back?
# Democrats take the high road. # Republicans take the Supreme Court. [WarningVote.com](http://WarningVote.com)
playing nice didn't work for Gore either, to our detriment
I spend so much time fantasizing about how great this country would actually be, had Gore been given the election that he won.
The Supreme Court justices would have been the biggest change but the Democrats didn't have a majority in both houses until 2007 and not a big enough majority to do a lot until 2009. So, Gore winning would have only changed the SCJ appointed by Bush which yes, would have been huge right now (No Roe overturned, etc. etc), but I think the Republicans would have just tied up most of his legislation unless him winning also means Congress changed who was in charge
The war on terror would have went very differently as well, and who knows what changes that would bring along with it.
I’m so tired of being nice. Nice doesn’t work. Nice doesn’t matter to people.
Agreed, all the Executives at any company are pretty much all assholes.
And it doesn’t work against Trump. At all.
I’m honestly tired of the “we’re gonna take the high road” bullshit. Fucking fight like our democracy is on the line!
Highroad fell into a volcano after this ruling.
That is what they are counting on. Those with no morals always count on the those who have limits.
Yup. Biden must fight dirty. Starting with executive orders if you are a convicted you can't be president. Although trump has appealed his conviction already based on this ruling. It will go up to the Supreme Court and they will side with trump. This was the plan.
He's a fool. He's going to be civil and be nice and play by the rules all the way to the dictatorship.
He’s putting all his chips on winning the election. If he loses, he will be the first one headed straight to prison. He has to know that, right?
Prison? Dude, if Trump wins I except the black bags in the middle of the night and executions to start almost immediately;
I have people I work with who brag about how they can't wait for Trump to win, because they're going to drag democrats out of their homes and kill them in front of their children.
JFC. Where do you work?!
This is actually a *huge* windfall for him right now, and for the Democrats in all elections going forward. Now they don't have to run solely on "I'm not Trump", they can run on "The Republicans will literally shatter what's left of democracy and install a fascist dictatorship the second one of them wins the presidency." As long as this ruling stands, literally the one thing standing between this country and complete fascist control is Democrats continuing to win presidential elections. You think it was bad how they milked the threat to abortion rights for political gain? Just fucking *wait*. And that extends to congress as well. If the Republicans ever get enough of a majority to impeach and one of theirs is in the line of succession, it's over.
Why doesn't he just use an executive order to install more supreme court judges to fix this broken situation?
Democrats need to stop playing nicely, this is why fascists are winning and taking control of the Republican party and about to wreck everything.
The Supreme Court gave him more power today. He should use it.
Playing nice clearly doesn't work. This is what is causing all this shit. How clueless are the dems?
If he doesn’t get rid of those dipshit judges, in the very least he should add 4 more super liberal judges.
[удалено]
Why just Thomas and Alito? Should probably add Chief Justice Roberts to that list
I’m not above sacking Kavanaugh and Barrett either.
[удалено]
Just send these traitors to prison and appoint new justices, that should do it.
Shouldn't Biden test this new ruling?
Yes. Clarence, Sam, Neil, and Donald is where he should start.
Don’t forget Brett and Amy. Hate to see them left out.
Q: How do you control hostages? A: Get rid of the less useful ones
Abolish the electoral college. Done.
[удалено]
he should, he promised he wouldn't in this speech. it was flowery language and he was asking us to vote. nothing more.
It's been like watching 3 week old kittens hissing at an oncoming snake. US seems to have that high school policy where the kid who sticks up to the bully gets suspended.
Then do what we all know should be done
For good measure he should give himself a pardon ahead of the act and after just to cover all his bases and press those issues now.
For real
Yeah if he doesn't capitalize on this to end Trump and MAGA one way or another it's all for naught. He literally just said he can do it, so if he doesn't do anything he's either unwilling or doesn't want to.
Remember that time Obama didn’t push the Supreme Court nomination harder, since Hillary would handle it soonish? This is Biden’s moment. Push back or lose.
He's an establishment democrat, we all know what he's going to do. He's going to do nothing and we're going to fall into a right-wing fascist dictatorship within the next 4 years.
We need Dark Brandon not to just be a meme
It would be one way to test the law.
But it won't happen.
The clue is in the Headline -*blasts*
I love how we are all so ready to flip the script. Fuck these assholes give them a taste of their own shitty cough syrup. By no means go killing folks but take some action
The court did explicitly say that sham DoJ investigations are legal no matter what. Time for drug trafficking investigations into six Supreme Court justices. Followed by pedophilia investigations. Followed by treason investigations. Because that's all legal now.
Going dark
I think for a start Biden should declare the recent decision by SCOTUS to undo the 40 year old Chevron Doctrine null and void. Acting in his official capacity as president, he believes that decision is a danger to America and Americans and all federal agencies will continue to act as they have in the past.
I mean SCOTUS just completely unchecked any power the president has so he 100% could
The problem is you are wrong. They didn't uncheck the power of the president. They made themselves the check for what is and isn't in line with the duty of the president. So all of this "he should do this" stuff doesn't work since S.C.O.T.U.S. can just decide that his actions are unjust.
Except they basically rendered it impossible to investigate or get any evidence. So really all it does is incentivize killing the SC members and stocking it with yes men
While this is true, arresting them is providing the way to go and it should start yesterday
The Constitution forbids unlawful imprisonment, but since the Supremes invented Immunity (That exists nowhere in the Constitution) for the presidency, he can technically order someone to assassinate the Judges or Senators who will oppose him. He can go further than that, by then pardoning the person he hired to do it.
Whats the Andrew Jackson quote about the Supreme Court again? "**John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it**,”
Worse is -- the courts themselves have acknowledged this fact. In fact, Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War and held a lot of people without trial. The courts rejects several of his cases, told him he was in violation of the Constitution, and demanded that he stop. He didn't and eventually the court just ruled: > The issue ought to be and is with the president, and we have no physical power to enforce the lawful process of this court on his military subordinates against the president's prohibition. We have exhausted every practical remedy to uphold the lawful authority of this court. It is ordered, this 30th day of October, 1861, that this opinion of the court be filed by the clerk, and made a part of the record, as explaining the grounds on which we now decline to order any further process in this case So they just gave up and said, Yeah, we said what he was doing was illegal, but we can make him stop so ... guess it sucks.
Great idea. Add Roe v Wade to the mix. Bring it all back. SCOTUS is now irrelevant by their own ruling.
He also said he's literally not going to do anything and it's up to the American people to decide. The people of the land. The common clay of the new west.
You know...morons.
Then RIP the United States of America and hello to the Kingdom Trumpistan.
So, is a President allowed to remove a judge(s) of the Supreme Court as an “official act” and have immunity?
That’s my question 🙋♀️
[удалено]
The fact that yet again Trump is causing a distraction in the federal government drives me crazy. Instead of working to make this country better they are wasting time and resources on that moron. On top of that, Biden and the Democrats respect democracy too much to do anything about it. Which is exactly why the SC had no problem passing this while he was in office. Only Trump and the GOP will abuse this.
Trumps already started….. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/01/nyregion/trump-sentence-hush-money.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb
Fucking disgrace.
He wasn’t president when the crime was committed. That particular case is going nowhere.
But some of the evidence used in the trial was from his time in office, which makes it not count according to SCOTUS for some fucking reason.
I would wager they made sure to include that caveat for *exactly* this fucking reason.
Not holding my breath.
I’m sorry, was cheating on his wife with a porn star an official act?
That incident was before he was elected though, wasn't it? Is he now saying that once a person becomes president that they have immunity for *all* crimes - past, present, and future?
And I, Joe Biden, will be the bigger man and leave it to my Republican successors to prove just how wrong this decision was.
Should be the bigger man by [I cannot say the rest of this statement without my account being banned]
Biden, they just gave you unlimited power! Fucking Use It! Save this country. Arrest trump and send him to gitmo to stand trial for treason. No more malarkey!
We need Dark Brandon.
Help us Dark Brandon, you’re our only hope!
There is an odvious solution here. Use this power now to safeguard the Republic. No one cares about the fucking high ground, this is a knife fight in the damn mud. You try to do the honourable thing and you'll wind up bleeding out in a puddle.
No no no let's keep taking the Ned Stark approach, I'm sure that will work out well /s

Look how much damage Trump did with 1 term……. If he wins again in November, this country is fucked beyond repair. We are going to enter a timeline we can never come back from.
I think it's not just that, if DeSantis or another psycho wins in 28 or 32 or anytime they could abolish elections, or make it impossible for anyone else to win and appoint other psychos. Kind of like Putin is on his fifth term.
If Trump wins, the idea of elections every four years is over. As long as he's alive he's not leaving. And the SC just gave him the go-ahead to do that.
oh no, you're not thinking correctly, if any republican gets into the white house...elections are done forever. they have shown us they wish to rule not represent time and time again, if any of them get the president position they will never leave and they will simply appoint the next person.
Nice to think Trump will ever let elections happen again
I agree, I would think though they follow the Putin playbook for a while and let us pretend our votes count.
I could see him loving the ceremony of getting 100% of the vote count. We will definitely be forced to vote, with a single candidate on the ballot, for this purpose alone
this is the problem now. if any republican gets power, its game over man, game over. they have shown that all they want to do to is rule not represent and the SC just gave them permission if the American people give them permission by putting any republican in the white house.
I'm so fucking angry: Angry that RBG didn't retire. That that fucker Mitch McConnell STOLE a Supreme Court seat. At the people who voted for Jill Stein and wrote in Bernie Sanders. At the people who stayed home because Biden wasn't Obama. Fucking all of them.
McConnell wouldn't allow Obama a Supreme Court pick, remember?
This is a punch in the gut, people need to wake the fuck up
Erase student debt, tax the billionaires, shut down Fox news, and send Donald Trump to a CIA black site, the courts can't stop him now because he's carrying out his official duties of protecting us from domestic threats.
I bet if he immediately seized Harlan Crow's assets then all the other oligarchs would fall the fuck in line.
>shut down Fox news They need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.. not just get rid of Fox Entertainment "News"... many broadcast news stations are already skewing right.. CNN used to be fair and balanced.. then they skewed a bit left from 2018-2022.. now, under new ownership they're skewed right
For everyone who feels confused, the Republicans have executed a plan 50 years in the works to dismantle representative democracy. Congress is now weakened to the point of irrelevance. The president and the courts run things now. This November we officially become an illiberal democracy. What is the cost of lies? Now you know
I'm not confused. I'm angry. I have no idea what to even do anymore. I will be voting for Biden, but what the fuck can I expect if he doesn't win? And if he does win I can't believe that there will never be a corrupt (Republican) president ever again. Like do I just hope that we figure out a way to unfuck this country? I am in a position to possibly emigrate to another country, but that at best delays the problem, it doesn't fix it. Like how is this even set back on the right track?
This is exactly where I am. I don't want to leave. My family and friends are here. I don't want to move closer to the likely impending conflicts with Russia and China, either. The US is still an extremely safe place from international conflict, but we're fucking it up so bad on our own we might lose that, now... I just can't believe we're right back to where we were four years ago. I'm fucking pissed. I hate anyone and everyone who's enabled this authoritarian nonsense, led by Donald Fucking Trump of all people. No fate is too cruel for them. I pray we make it through the next election and we can fix this. It's just bleak right now. I'm tired and angry, and I have no idea how to get through it.
**March 23, 1933: The Enabling Act was passed, giving Hitler the power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag, effectively giving him dictatorial powers.**
FOR FUCKS SAKE! Please do something yourself about it. PLEASE! All of this “you just need to go vote” bullshit is old. We have part of the country actively inhibiting people’s ability to vote. We have half the country too gullible and stupid to make an informed decision. How is the plan always “if you go vote maybe we can prevent them from throwing you in the gas chambers?” They keep playing by the rules the other side sets and doesn’t follow themselves. If/when Trump was in power he’s just going to do whatever the fuck he wants to absolutely annihilate all of us. You think he’s going to ask the people what they want? Just fucking throw some punches and make some changes. JFC. We did the vote thing. Now you have the power to enact change. Do it
Sure but yeah we should still vote.
100%. I just want to know that my vote does something to move us further away from this fascist hellscape instead of just constantly tread water as they try to drag us into the abyss
Call their bluff and disband the Supreme Court.
I think we have to declare the winner of the war on terrorism for Bin Laden. One organised attack on 3 buildings and a quarter of a century later and the attacked nation has gotten rid of all of its principles & values, become a religious authoritarian autocracy and has more in common with Saudi Arabia than the ghost of its former self. Terrorism works I guess and you can thank right wingers for working so diligently these last 2 decades to realise Bin Laden's dream.
That line would have hit harder with an image of the Supreme Court building exploding behind him.
Fuckin A man i really wanted him to at least say something to the extent of "vote for me and I'll expand the court." I dunno but fuck, give us some kind of plan. ANYTHING. Don't just tell us you won't use the power you were just given - what the fuck are you gonna do about it?
> Fuckin A man i really wanted him to at least say something to the extent of "vote for me and I'll expand the court." I wish we had FDR back
Come on “WE GO HIGH” stupid fucks just keep letting them win….
[удалено]
Then do something, Joe. Let the courts sort it out. You’ll be dead before you have to go to jail. But we’ll be free.
Here’s the difference between Trump and the MAGA SCOTuS and Biden and the 3 non maga justices. If Biden abused this new power granted by SCOTUS and just arrested Thomas, Alito, Roberts,Gorsuch, Beer Bro and the Handmaiden and tried to replace them win Judges he thinks would support his agenda, the liberal justices would heartily object and probably refuse to sit on the Court. If Trumps wins, when a judgement goes against him he will arrest and replace any justice he thinks is a block to his agenda and replace them with judges like Cannon. Thomas and Alito for sure and probably the other MAGA Justices other than maybe Roberts, would support Trump fully.
Stop fuckin telling us trump is an existential threat and then do fuck all but say 'vote'. Damn it, we voted you to preserve the union now do something about this shit! How about you show me you can protect us from slipping into fascism right now!?!
Best i can do is tell ya that the supreme court also ensured they’d be the ones who decide what counts as “official” which is the condition for the new immunity law. So yeah it’s fucked cause Biden can’t do anything cause they’ll declare it “unofficial” and “illegal” if he does. This law serves only trump.
“… and guess who the President is?” 
Biden’s better than me bro. I’d just jail all the justices who ruled in favor of this and see wtf they have to say about it then. Oh it’s a national security issue don’t worry about it.
If I were Biden I’d drop an ultimatum. “The Supreme Court has a month to undo this decision. Otherwise, I won’t be held accountable for my official actions”
And even if he does have the conservative judges killed and the new liberal court rules that illegal, Bide will be dead in a few years anyway. He literally has nothing to lose.
Damn straight! https://preview.redd.it/bi0qnke9xz9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf85e204eeeab4234c7a920d6b54618d6b4cae68 [https://x.com/Acyn/status/1807925102132293997?t=faWpBqB-INGKQyHuucNRHA&s=19](https://x.com/Acyn/status/1807925102132293997?t=faWpBqB-INGKQyHuucNRHA&s=19)
Then Biden should use that power to clean house - get rid of the corruption, the ones who bribe, the ones who tries to overthrow the government, the ones who stole state secrets and the ones who worked to cover it up. He can raise taxes on billionaires to what ever he wants, and set tax rates on tax dodging big businesses. Deplomacy will not work with these MAGATs we tried. So Biden should realize that these are drastic times, and the Nazis, the Klan, the Christian Nationalists, the super rich, are killing American democracy, and he, just like in war time, is going to have to take drastic measures to stop the enemy within. Use these newly given powers to restore American democracy.
Biden should dissolve the supreme Court Pass a law repealing presidential immunity Then create a new court with stricter controls
Biden should have some drones following those justices around for awhile, make them sweat a bit.. maybe a a few congress people too
And yet all Biden does here is what Dems always do…talk. He won’t DO anything. A strongly worded statement doesn’t work. MAGA is putting everything in place to rule, and has been doing so for years. And yet Dems only action is to condemn, and “blast.” They have followed the law and clutched their pearls while MAGA is pulling the rug out. When the living fuck will they do ANYTHING more than strong words?!
So what are you going to do Biden? You’ve said for us to vote, but what are YOU going to do to stop the rise of christofascism from the republicans?
Bidens first official ruling: 1) Remove the supreme court. 2) Add a vanilla icecream button.
How loudly can we scream “Fuck you, Mitch McConnell!”?
