I imagine with the whole immunity thing they were gonna/will say something about how immunity doesn’t apply to Biden the second he uses what power they gave him.
I mean, his reputation is still tied to Kamala’s at the moment. His actions now could affect the success of the campaign.
So you’re saying wait until after the first Tuesday in November to send Seal Team Six to Mar-a-Lago.
I mean, I certainly wouldn’t complain.
2,500 lb JDAM would work too
And to the Supreme Court to show them first hand how bad their ruling was.
I’ll take either, but both works too.
So he should wait for the in-between period after the elections… Hell, no matter who wins he could do whatever he wants during that time, including putting the whole RNC in jail if the Democrats lose…
Sending the National Guard rather than an angry mob to block the certification of the election.
Please, god, let him do some real Dark Brandon shit for once.
Be the bogeyman the Republicans make you out to be, damnit! If we’re going to endure this utter clownshow of an election year, we could at least try making it funny.

I share your hopes, but we’re gonna be sorely disappointed. Dem leadership is never anywhere near as based as Republicans unwittingly make them seem.
And as far as entertainment value goes, Macho (in his own mind) Grandpa is pretty much like watching paint dry…
“You’re a traitor!” Bang “You’re a traitor!” Bang
“SIR THIS IS A WENDY’S PLEASE”
So anyway, I started blasting.
POV: You’re in a Wendy’s with Republican supreme court justices.
I hate the idea of a president essentially being a monarch whilst in power, but I kinda do wish that Biden would do something to bite the anti-democracy members of the SCOTUS in the ass over this ruling
He should pardon Hunter, create an additional SCOTUS seat, then appoint Hunter.
No other details. Just do that without elaborating and watch them devour themselves in confusion.
Like, chuck them in the slammer for their blatant corruption? Immunity, fat!
Is that not within his current power ?
Ordering the secret service to detain them would be though.
As long as its an official act, sure!
The only prohibition against arrest that I know of is immunity from arrest for members of Congress.
So… it’s illegal for Biden to fire members of the supreme court, but there are no consequences when he just kills a few of them…?
As long as he does it “officially”
Unfortunately for us, he still gives all the fucks about decorum and the usual stuff.
I need some of that delusional fantasy cosplay shit ya’ll be having. Biden will do nothing with this ruling even though using the DOJ against enemies domestic is a protected official act.
But no balls. You hear that, Biden? YOU GOT NO BALLS TO TEST YOUR NEW IMMUNITY! Prove me wrong!
Nah, let’s not pretend Biden is going to do anything cool. I think we all see him for what he is.
The best darn kept secret weapon Big Ice Cream lobby’s got!
Salesman for drug companies
I guess that’s why he’s capped insulin at $35/month through Medicare, costing those drug companies quite a bit while simultaneously setting a precedent for Medicare negotiating drug prices in a time when people are finally warming up to the idea of expanding Medicare to most and eventually all Americans. Those drug companies sure do love him for that. /s
I want to see him string a banner that says “Official Act” to the side of a bulldozer and drive it through the Republican section of the House of Representatives.
I hear this line a lot, but it’s not really true. Biden has immunity from criminal prosecution (which is obviously fucked up), but courts still can block his actions.
Given the partisan nature of the Supreme Court at the moment, anyone who thinks a Democrat trying to use these powers that they’re saying the president has would get away with it is extremely optimistic at best.
That’s why step one would be to make the court a lot less Republican
That’s why he could do things that are un-blockable. Like immediately adding 14 partisan judges to the SC. Then they are the majority that would determine the constitutionality of their own assignment.
Or, he could direct the military to black bag 3 conservative judges. The body that would judge would favorable towards this.
But you just do stuff and enforce it without the courts approval. It’s illegal but they can’t prosecute him because he’s doing President stuff.
Which means he can shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.
The amount of chaotic good Biden could do…
- Rob billionaires at gun point and then distribute the wealth a la Robin Hood
- Bomb Shell corporation unless they give into his demands
- Close stock exchanges until they donate half of their stocks to various non-profits
- Hold ships at port hostage until CEOs step down
The list is literally endless.
If judges try to reverse those actions, Biden can then hold their family hostage until a ruling is made in his favor.
It’s fun to joke about this until you realize that Trump would absolutely do these things…except, you know, for himself.
Unfortunately even your first bullet wouldn’t work. It’s not like these billionaires are walking around with their billions in cash. Most are held in stocks or assets, which would simply be inherited by whoever is set up in their will.
Can’t block a crater
It would probably be better for the country if he went full Dark Brandon…
… but it would be funnier if he went Diamond Joe. Just no fucks, breaking the law for petty shit with total immunity because “That’s what I was born to do man, even Johnny Law thinks so”
It would be really funny if in the last month of his presidency, he put together a “bit” with a local corner store owner, coordinated beforehand, where he “robs the store” using a wooden gun under full observation of the Secret Service - and then explains the skit to a press conference for everyone who doesn’t get it, and allows a 9-year-old kid with a police badge “arrest” him for committing a crime.
I wonder if said 9-year-old would actually be able to lawfully arrest Diamond Joe by means of this legal principle.
We’re coming into your program with breaking news. Today, President Biden decree’ed free ice cream nationally forever. Of course the industry is now in turmoil, scrambling to submit paperwork to the Department of Agriculture for reimbursement since there’s been a flood of people taking advantage of this. We go to Jessica who’s on the floor with a Republican Senator. Jessica?
Thank you Mary. Senator, what do you make of the Presidents action?
It’s appalling. He’s a Dictator now! This isn’t what our freedom loving country was founded upon. Later today I will introduce articles to impeach President Lactose for this disgusting abuse of power.
Sir, your own party’s candidate has openly said he’d abuse the power to jail his opponents, and you’ve openly supported him. Surely, giving out free ice cream isn’t more dictatorial or impeachable.
Ma’am, I dont like your lefty questions. Your one-sided commentary. This interview is over.
Mary, its clear this is a divisive topic in the halls of Congress. It also isn’t helping the mood among Congress that President Biden has been seen walking around with sunglasses on, eating ice cream, asking random Republicans “what’s got your goat, Jack?” Back to you.
Appoint 26 new SC justices without a confirmation process. DO IT!!!
That’s the difficult part. If he tried that they’d just ignore the appointments, just like how the Senate ignored Trump’s attempt to stop the vote.
And the reality is he’d never have justices killed. This ruling only empowers authoritarian Presidents.
I mean, the appointment of 26 judges is totally legit because the 26 judges will rule its constitutional. From there they get carte blanche to interpret the constitution however they like until congress steps in does real legislation that prevents the bullshit that’s been coming from the court for years.
Nobody will listen to those 26 judges though. Unless Biden is willing to start imprisoning and killing dissidents, the ruling means nothing to him.
They will listen because it will be law.
The ruling wasn’t that the President could create our interpret law. It was that the President couldn’t be prosecuted for breaking the law.
Him illegally appointing justices wouldn’t result in him being jailed, but those justices would have no standing because they weren’t appointed through the proper procedure.
If a law were to be passed saying that stealing credit cards is legal, the banks would still cancel the cards when they were stolen.
The constitution offers zero instruction on how to construct the supreme court and the responsibilities of the court. There might be some text about congress should give advice but the court we have today is completely of its own invention.
If it’s illegal for biden to appoint judges without congresses approval then the Supreme Court has given him complete immunity.
Declining to prosecute someone for a crime is different than going along with it.
If Biden were to declare by executive order “these 26 people are now Supreme Court Justices” that doesn’t make it true if the Courts and Congress don’t agree to go along with the illegal order.
It actually applies to Trump too. He stole classified documents, Judge Canon dismissed the case, but the national archives aren’t going to be giving the recovered documents back to him. He illegally tried to overturn the 2020 election results. The case may be dead now that he has immunity, but that doesn’t mean he’s allowed to overturn the election and that he’s President now.
