The U.S. Supreme Court’s immunity decision has reportedly emboldened the presumptive GOP nominee to pursue his far-right agenda and authoritarian aims “without fear of punishment or restraint.”

    As someone pointed out to me, it’s federal crimes.

    So if he asks you to do something that he’s shielded from, but is a state crime, youre SOL

      Murder is generally a state offense, but since D.C. is a Federal district, I’m pretty sure murders that occur there would be pardonable.

        Dear Mr Person I Want to Murder

        It would be lovely if you could come visit me in DC. I have a great murder opportunity I’d like to discuss with you

        Sincerely Trump

          I think you lost the discussion thread a little bit. We’re talking about what Biden could do about the corrupt Supreme Court justices. They’re definitely in D.C. already.

            Not really.

            Pardons come up, I mention federal only, you mention murder, and then I make a joke about it.

            You think Biden is gonna murder someone?

              LOL, no.

              But I do think that the fascist SCOTUS judges just gave him that power, and that Biden demonstrating just how terrible a power it is by using it to get rid of them might be the only way to get the decisions overturned and stop the US from becoming a dictatorship.
