“(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.

    We need someone that will use every tool at their disposal to stop trump.

    Biden has shown time and time again, that’s he’s just not willing to do that.

    Stopping trump is more important than Biden, if he won’t fight, and he won’t get out of the way, and the party won’t force him to…

    It’s time to ask why we still support the party. The voters are the irreplaceable part, not the party.

      The problem with that, is now “every tool at their disposal to stop trump” is an object lesson in exactly what Biden is talking about.

      ‘Every tool’ means Every tool

        Biden could have expanded the courts 4 years ago, but he didnt.

        This could have never happened.

        Roe vs Wade could still be standing.

        So much shit could be better, but Biden didn’t want to fight.
