“(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.

    Lol this was never a real discussion, it was someone clutching their pearls and normal people laughing at them.

      I’m not sure why you’re wasting your time with a pearl-clutcher then. Surely you don’t need my validation to keep acting like an asshole, so why are you still here? It’s not like my approval means anything. Just block me and be done with it 🤷‍♂️ So congrats! You’ve won the war for moral high ground and your right to call someone a pussy. Truly valiantly fought, you are the winner. I’m sure it feels amazing.

      [cue some dross about how this is just funny/entertaining to you without any consideration for how sad that is]

      I’m just gonna save us a lot of time and move on. Feel free to have the last word, I’m sure it’s very important to you.
