    Lets assume a president is immune to all crime, ever. No president can be prosecuted.

    What stops any president just seizing power for life?

      This is pretty much the page everyone who’s paying attention is on, whether they admit it or not.

      Republicans are just betting that Biden won’t just shoot Trump on live TV during the debates, since they know they have no such moral qualms.

        Alright.

        So. If he did that… I dunno. I think maybe if he went back to rule of law, after the fact, I might applaud.

        Wouldn’t it be a hell of a thing if Biden could channel the vengeful spirit of Charles Sumner for just ten minutes on live TV during a debate? Class, open your history textbooks to chapter 11, The Caning of Trump.

          Breathing heavily, dabbing sweat off his brow, Joe Biden finally stopped swinging the sledgehammer at the bloody pulp that was once a person, who was once Donald Trump, who was once a US president. Joe cleared his throat to signal to the crowd to end their “let’s go Brandon” chanting.

          “My fellow Americans, by decree of executive order, and I urge Congress to pass legislation to issue permanence to it, a US president is not immune from prosecution, starting now.”

            Don’t forget: “What’s that sound? It’s OBAMA’S MUSIC! HE’S TAGGING IN!”

            Bill and George are just hanging out nodding their heads.
