  1. We will have a King or a Fuhrer this coming November. I never expected I’d have these options when I was in high school. But here we are. Here we fucking are.

  2. “King” Biden had better get busy…or step aside. The other side ain’t fuckin’ around now.

  3. The Supreme Court disregarded a very well-considered opinion from a lower court. I want to know what those judges have to say right now. Really, I want to know what all judges have to say. The members of our judicial system need to make themselves known at this point, because our judicial system is failing.

  5. As a European : modern kings don’t have anything near this kind of absolute immunity. A leader unrestrained by law is the definition of a tyrant. Good luck over there…

    Edited to ad: modern kings and queens also don’t hold much power either.

  6. So Biden can now put MAGAists into concentration camps, after taking away their guns and destroying their birth certificates making them illegal aliens in their own country. This ruling in particular will completely screw them when they try another capitol riot which Biden can respond to as terrorism.

  8. You want civil war? Cause this is how you get civil war…..

  9. History repeats itself. There is a harrowing poem by Martin Niemöller, a Nazi supporter and Lutheran minister, featured at the very end of the Holocaust Museum’s exhibit:

    >*First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out –
    because I was not a socialist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out –
    because I was not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out –
    because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for me –* ***and there was no one left to speak for me.***

    People need to wake the fuck up. Start talking to your coworkers. Your family members. Your neighbors. Get out and protest, and then vote like your life fucking depends on it.

  10. President Biden should have no problem “Officially” proving that Don is a national security risk and a threat to democracy, completely legitimizing the full use of presidential power to stop him.

  11. You know, I gave this some thought, and this is not hyperbole, but this decision is worse than Dredd Scott. I am sorry, but it’s true. SCOTUS has given President’s the power of a dictator. While Dredd Scott led to the Civil War, if Trump gets in office or any bad faith President, that’s it, democracy is over. This ruling makes sure of that.

  12. They are just getting things ready for Trump if he wins in November

    But really Democrats need to grow a spine, campaign on this, do everything they can to get a majority in the house and senate and actually remove the corrupt judges, while imposing an actual code of ethics and other safeguards and start undoing this blatant corruption

  13. Things are going to get worse before they get better, unless the democratic party grows a spine and a huge pair of balls, the United States as we know it has ran its course.

  14. American courts have been throwing their weight around internationally for decades and now they’ve turned it on their own people. No surprise.

  15. From a European here: Goodbye America. Your experiment with freedom was fun while it lasted. Please don’t invade us.

  16. You need to stop crying about Biden’s age and get behind him or whoever the Democratic nominee is. There really shouldn’t be another word about it. It does not matter which of the plausible candidates the Dems go with. Winning and keeping Trump out is all that matters. Remember all the people in 2016 saying “vote for Hillary Clinton because of Supreme Court nominations?” That was prescient, and this will also prove prescient – Vote for any Democratic nominee because of the Enabling Act.

  17. Biden should have the judges arrested for treason. If the other side can change the rules, then so can he.

  19. Well I have to vote for Biden period.Trump can not be trusted with such power.When you pick a president, character matters period.

  20. It is so tragic that the American experiment ends with a Court that —claiming to be originalists—overturns the most fundamental concept of the nation, begun with George Washington himself, that Presidents are not Kings.

    Words fail. Bastards. Traitors. Fascists. May the Conservative majority rot in hell for all time. And then rot some more.

  21. I really feel more each day a lot of blood is going to have to be shed to unfuck this country.

  22. People dont trust the SC judges anymore. Joe, don’t be so nice.

    You know what to do with these 6 judges with your unlimited power. DO IT NOW!

  26. The general populace is silent. Americans’ heads are so stuffed in the sand that they simply don’t care anymore, just don’t disturb their trip to Disney, don’t stop their tik tok content or them going to church. I didn’t think it would all end so easy after all the wars.

  27. Germany in 1933: did the same thing, it was called the Enabling Act.

  28. Question here … Did the Supreme Court just overturn Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution that says a President can be impeached by Congress for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors?

    Last week they gave a ruling that bribery of any politician is no longer a crime as long as the bribe comes after the action. Now they are saying a President has full immunity for any crimes they chose to commit while in office as long as they say it was an offical act.

    Under this new ruling can any President be brought up for impeachment ???

  29. After the debate, when people were panicking, I was saying settle down. It’s only one debate. Now I truly believe if Biden doesn’t have the stomach to do the hard things to preserve American democracy it is time for him to step aside and let someone ready for the fight step up.
