    If the Dems werent so perpetually useless, they would immediately jump on this to get shit done, then when republicans cry and whine, push them to actually pass legislation that explicitly denies this. So they are stuck between letting Biden do whatever he wants to and stopping him, but also dooming Trump and/or whatever republican candidate down the line they want to be able to exploit these powers.

    But they wont. Joe and his handlers will keep doing nothing and expecting everything to just magically work itself out. And then in January we will have a fully unrestricted God-king Trump.

    (Also it would be so fucking funny if Trump just died of natural causes before the election/ inauguration, the MAGATS would actually implode from conspiracy theories)

      The Democrats are not incapable. They are malicious and complicit.

      It’s time to stop pretending Democrats are just stupid well intentioned people

      Jump on what? The president wasn’t granted immunity.

      The SCOTUS passed the buck to lower courts, and those courts could draw the line at whether or not Biden’s actions qualify as official or not.

      Or it could end up back at the SCOTUS, where we would have to trust (lol) that they reach the same opinion they did for Biden as they did for Trump.
