It’s very hard for me to square that idea that trump is an existential threat who must be stopped by any means necessary, and the notion that Biden is allowed to do anything legally.

Obama murdered a 16-year-old who wasn’t even accused of a crime and got away with it, but I guess the rules are different when the victim is Muslim

I tried to explain this to libs back in 2018ish. If Trump is a fascist, why would voting him out do anything? Ya’ll are either being hyperbolic, or you’re being cowards.

Trump is a fascist, but that is because everyone in the U.S. government follows the logic of fascism, because neoliberalism is just fascism without the campy outfits. He just not a systemic-ending fascist.

The issue is he’s an anti institutionalist corporate oligarch, which in a vacuum is neutral and par for the course, but in this case, one of the few things keeping America from completely coming apart at the seams are the institutions who want to make sure arsenic isn’t in kids’ toothpaste and shit.

If Biden gets Trump assassinated by the CIA will it be considered official business?

yeah, the decision says exercises of constitutional authority have immunity. they’re /presumed/ to be official acts. so if assassinations are covered by the president, he’s free to kill off his political enemies.

As commander in chief, ordering military objectives is a constitutionally declared duty of the president so it seems very clear to me as that’s a conclusive constitutional duty. This line seems relevant: “[…] President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclu- sive constitutional authority”

There was some reporting a while back about how the CIA wanted to assassinate Julian Assange and the Trump administration had to talk them down

the obvious rules based liberal solution to trump is fucking divest presidential powers, instead of giving even more expansive executive

Clearly if we don’t use power it’ll set a precedent of good behavior!
