Didn't the Supreme Court just invite him to do this?
Basically
I mean he does now have the powers of an absolute monarch.
As far as I know Saudi Arabia is the only other country with an absolute monarch, so it makes some sense we are allies now.
Not exactly. He's only allowed to do illegal things if the SCOTUS is okay with it. He's a Democrat, so they wouldn't be.
Not until he wipes the supreme court and then installs his puppet court. Once that happens the senate won't even impeech, if they know what's good for them.
It's all jokes, but this is the GOPs plan more or less.
They might not violently overthrow the court but only because they have silently already done it.
Next project 2025 will dismantle our elections. When 2028 rolls around, well what do you know, 99% of Americans WANT Don Jr to be kin-- president.
It's over. The only thing left is for the DNC and the voting public to hand him the crown. And they do so willingly, because Biden, ~checks notes~, is old?
It's not over yet, but it is very dangerously close.
When I hear the pundants, even the ones I thought I liked, try to pacify what is happening, I know we are done. Even if they do it for their own sanity, there should be no pacification for injustice at this level.
"Well, that's just Trump and he has all the GOP by his side so what can you do?" You should do what ever it takes, what ever power you hold, what ever platform you have it should be used to oppose these tyrants. In that light, it's already over. No one will actually stand up from here until December and it will all be too late.
When I hear the pundits, even the ones I thought I liked, try to pacify what is happening, I know we are done.
You may very well be right, and that's extremely frustrating for me, too. Manufactured consent being laid bare.
Biden will respect the power of the office. Peacefully transition to the Trump Administration. And peacefully walk to the gallows they have erected for him.
I never thought that I would see it but even Glenn Kirschner is advocating for something extra-legal....
Because the DNC ran a sham primary forcing us into this position.
The DNC is not a government entity. It's a private organization that represents the interests of party members and has no legal obligation to serve the public. We can be irritated with the DNC, but we can't blame them for this.
The scorpion stings the frog because it's in it's nature. You still blame the scorpion.
A person belonging to one or more Order is just as likely to carry a flag of the counter-establishment as the flag of the establishment-- just as long as it is a flag.
You're forgetting the pope.
could a king dissolve a supreme court?
as long as it's "official"
Fine in a vat of official acid
Probably... in a vat of acid...
As a joke, that statement is legal.
I am incapable of legally agreeing with this statement.
I say he just tells the tRump appointed judges to either resign, or die. Then I'd send a seal team to pick up mr. rapist with 34 felonies and have a nice heart to heart, in an undisclosed location.
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)

Oh, you think Joe hasn't done anything?
insert 2-pt font graphic of the 80,000 administrative court decisions passed under Biden that the SCOTUS just shredded via Chevron Deference case
(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)
If the polls bare out, Biden is going to lose states where Senate and House Dems win with wide margins. That, alone, is going to send the QAnon folks into a frothing lather and trigger a cascade of Trump Admin Constitutional Crises, as people argue that the election was rigged to favor the Deep State.
Republicans know they've got the police and significant chunks of the military on their side. So they're just going to do whatever the fuck they want at the state and local levels. Trump can do whatever he damned pleases at the Federal level, knowing the Dem Congress will just whine and pound sand. And the MAGAts are going to scream about how anything the GOP can't get done fast enough is being sabotaged by secret evil leftist sabatores, invoking wave after wave of new University pogroms and bureaucratic purges and police raids of liberal social clubs.
I wanna see FLIR drone footage of Donny's body exploding in mar a lago
I heard he's not even at the white house anymore. He's just going door to door with secret service and raping people's moms now.
*officially
As an Irish American, I'm not sure King Biden would welcome the title..
It would be King Joe, kings use given names, not family names.
You're only a king if you use the power and biden's a bitch. Throw the corrupt justices of the supreme Court in jail along with Trump and Make some changes to the Constitution to limit corporations from unlimited funding candidates. It really should be the ending of infinity war, but we're going to get the return of the Nazi party instead.
What did I miss? Why are there posts about Biden being a king?
Supreme court ruled that presidents are immune from obeying the law.
Basically, they went against a millennium of legal precedent and overturned the magna carta.
I saw that ruling. But there are multiple posts mentioning Biden as king as if there was something broadcasted or viral about it. Is there more?
I had to look into how magna carta is relevant and only see a vague connection about going back to pre-American laws.
Our legal system is a continuation of the English common law system of the American colonies.
The magna carta falls within English legal history and is widely viewed as the first step in regulating the behavior of the king.
This supreme court ruling seems to allow the President to break the law.
It's my own comparison, but I think it's quite good.
I could also say that they've made the presidency into a dictatorship (in the Roman usage of the word). That's actually unfair to dictators since their unlimited power was narrow in scope, and they could be prosecuted when they left office. Ceasar was the last Roman dictator.
Erhm
Wow, the SCOTUS has really overstepped its bounds. I wonder what the legislative and executive branch's responses are going to be?
“King Vitamin, Have breakfast with the King…”
