    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.

      I mean, didn’t the supreme court literally make it legal for the president to assassinate political rivals? Biden just didn’t have the stones to drop those fascist fucks into a black site.

        I read somewhere that decision only applies for that specific instance. Meaning it was only for Trump.

      It’s fun that your answer to fascism is fascism but with a guy you prefer.
