We are about one week from the shocking and nation changing SCOTUS decision granting a president total immunity and create a lawless zone around the Presidency for anything he can categorize as an official duty.
Immediately
One Presidential Candidate seeks to reassure the country that he intends to abide fully by the laws of our nation regardless.
The other candidate retweets a call for military tribunals for treason punishable by death for Liz Chaney and others. What have they done to deserve that? Well, that doesn't matter at all. If the President deems them traitors that is sufficient. . The tweet said to "retweet if you agree". Which Trump did so.
the media chases the shiny object of Biden's potential replacement and fake Parkinson stories.
You do realize this was a confirmation not some new revelation. I know it stinks when your commie ways are checked, but this is America after all.
Joe Biden is a 100 year old Alzheimer’s dementia patient.
He belongs in a nursing home, not in the White House.
Keeping him on the job is essentially elder abuse. This man can’t talk, he can’t walk, he is dying.
Shame on his wife Jill for insisting that he go to work every day and run for re-election. She is selfish and cruel.
All women are pure evil.
1. He is clearly a dementia patient, albeit just a mere 81 years old.
2. I agree.
3. Everyone can see this except the Biden family and a few diehard democrats. (TDS?)
4. I am not sure she is the only one at play here, but she has the most power to put an end to it, and she won't, so you are probably correct.
5. I will resist the urge to put your mom on blast here for how she raised you, but only a Sith would deal in such absolutes, and they are also as evil as you claim all women to be.
At the end of the day, the ball is in the Dem’s court. They can keep Biden and risk losing to Trump, or they can find a candidate that appeals to a large portion of the American constituency and win. It is hard, but not rocket science. Corporations do this all the time when a CEO exits. There are very smart, ethical, driven people in the USA. Dems need to find one. This is a unique and very valuable opportunity. I suspect it will be squandered, unfortunately.
The reason it is important to point out Trumps criminality. And his Amorality. And his business failures and his massive list of court settlements and fines. And his sexual misconduct
The reason this needs to be repeated often and loudly. Is because the SCOTUS has left it up to the voters to decide if we want a moral person or a Trump in office. There are no legal guardrails for a corrupt president anymore. None.
yup, ANOTHER all-time high in the stock market today
definitely let's vote out the peace and prosperity party and vote in the party that has governed over every single recession for 40+ years and started two wars. Sounds like a terrific plan, America.
Even better, we'll vote in an openly corrupt party and a convict president who attempted a coup 3 years ago.
Such a good plan, America. Such a good plan.

it's not that simple.
no one knows how a different candidate would do against trump.
if biden drops out, harris gets the nomination and she loses, biden's decision to drop out will be called one of the worst decisions in American history ever.

Nothing to see here.
Just Trump on Truth social threatening Mark Zuckerberg with DOJ prosecution with his newfound immunity.
Meanwhile the media is not happy that the White House press secretary was mean yesterday.
What could possibly go wrong by giving this person unlimited power and total immunity with a 2nd term?

Do we have any historical examples of a charismatic, bombastic, fear mongering, populist leader that had legal Troubles but was able to regain power and also was granted immunity right before stepping back into power? I can think of one example. But the name escapes me. Can anyone help with that?
Those low information Trump voters just say any damn thing, smh. Just regurgitating nonsense they heard on Newsmax or at the HOA meetings in their trailer park community.
Of course it matters. Shows the reality that he is NOT a savvy businessman and never has been. Trump owns hardly AMYTHING outright. He doesn't even own Trump Tower in NYC. He is smoke and mirrors and a grifter.
He's a billionaire.
You can have many failures in business but have one or two to overcome the losses and still come out way ahead.
Most successful businessmen talk about their failures before they hit it big with the one that brought them massive wealth.
Meh. I'd be a billionaire too if my Daddy left me all that money. Trump would have more money now if he just passively invested that money. FAILURE. He's a failure as a businessman, and his stupid Truth Social will end up being worth crap.
MSM reporting today that the debate did not hurt Biden in the polls.
Say he was 1 pt down before, and now is down 2 and that's within the margin of error. And that Trump led by 6 pts in April.
Seems the bosses may stick with Biden
It doesn't matter. This is identical to 2020. The vote is either for Trump or against Trump.
That's it that's all.
If Lichtman is right, the best scenario for a Dem win is if Biden stays in the race. The second best scenario is if he resigns now so that Harris is already President on election day. Worst scenario is if he stays in until end of his term and then Harris is the candidate. Lichtman says though that the Dem. party is in the driver's seat here. I THINK he's right, but I do believe the door is open for Trump to win. Crazy that that's the case.

This will become more widely recognized as time moves forward. Nobody cares about who the opponent is when the other guy is a criminal fascist with newly granted Presidential immunity. And this criminal is today openly promising to use his immunity to go after opponents and media for wronging him.
Simple choice really.
If Trump was not such an idiot, he would just lie and pretend to be normal president to cool fears of his dictatorial aspirations. But he can't help himself because he lives in a bubble and surrounded by yes men that are telling him everything he does is great.

actually trump is playing this just right. during the debate he presented himself as a normal
as the dems talk about replacing biden trump stood back and let them form a circular firing squad. if trump had stepped in the dems could have focused on him as the enemy.
trump is an actually great politician. we don't see that much anymore so we don't know what it looks like but that guy can read a room and knows his people. great instincts.
the problem is that he also has the market's view of segmenting the population and that puts a hard ceiling on how much support he can get.
all in the service of evil and helping our nation's foes, but still.

Correct, because a Presidents personal life makes no difference. This way you can’t just make up laws, hire prosecutors and judges to get your verdict and say, “see, he’s a felon, he’s unqualified”
SCOTUS keeps your nonsense and effort to rig elections in check. it’s what they do, and Trump put 3 on this court.
Also, you guys get to put a child molester in the office too and we let it go. your values are your values.
