“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”

Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

    Just want to let you know that I didn’t read any of this. You failed at wasting as much of my time as you wanted to

      And you’re wasting yours, but only one of us is outting themselves haha.

      I always found it kinda pathetic when people have to say “I didn’t read that” like it’s a slam, when it’s actually embarrassing. You’re addimitting you’d rather yell nonsense and plug your ears than walk away or have a convo. It’s really sad.

        You’ve probably spent 30 minutes this morning tearing into me. I spent like 5 minutes rolling my eyes and telling you it’s useless.

        But you win.

          Lol, nope, I’ve spent about 30 min expressing why your stance is wrong; a nice little story anyone who interacts with you can read and see how you REALLY feel about differing opinions.

          You’ve done nothing but reinforce everything I’ve said by plugging your ears and refusing to have an actual conversation. Maybe it only took you 5 minutes, but you painted a very clear picture of yourself. I mean ya, if you only talk at people and never listen, you don’t really have to invest a lot in a conversation.
