Context: Trump’s lawyers are in front of the Supreme Court arguing that presidents cannot be prosecuted for any crimes they commit while in office.
Who knows how the Calvinball refs will decide this one, but if they go Trump’s way, Biden has literally no excuse not to assassinate his political rivals.
I finally heard ONE fucknut on cable tv mention that Obama had American citizens murdered by drone strike and didn’t face legal consequences
seems like a precedent to me, if the dems were serious they would just shoot down trump’s plane next time he’s in it and claim it was mechanical failure
They had it on good evidence that Hamas was hiding in the basement of Mar-a-Lago
Killing him might lead to a backlash worse than him getting elected again.
I think I’m only exaggerating a little bit in saying it might cause a civil war.
Imagine how funny it’d be tho
If they believe he will become a dictator (the trick here is I don’t think they do) then there would need to be some kind of resistance and civil war in response, right? So kill the future dictator and deal with the possible civil war while you’re officially in charge of the nation.
this is all just sophistry, the ones in power don’t think he’ll be a dictator they just think that’s what the rubes need to hear

Don’t forget all the meth induced heart attacks.
All the car dealships might form a break away auto based autonomous network?
What would that even look like, rural areas attacking urban? The military would remain loyal to the Dems
A huge spike in stochastic terrorism including reprisal assassinations of local dems, random mass shootings, and lynchings.
So acaresly doffrent from now and still not as bad as things were in like the 70s

Even 37% of active duty soldiers isn’t nothing. They’d be at a disadvantage, but it’s still possible they’d try. Also the guns per capita among civilian Trump supporters would be a factor. And police especially. They’re basically small militaries at this point anyway.
But I guess the biggest factor to whether a civil war would happen is the reaction of the state governments. Good chance Abbott would be pretty pissed and kind of feel threatened. And probably other Southern state governments.
We’re talking about assassination of a major political rival who is the lead figure of the Republican Party and has a rabid support base, they wouldn’t take that lying down.
Edit: those numbers are also from 2020. In general Biden is down and Trump is up from then, I wouldn’t be surprised if the same was true in the military. Plus a good chunk of neutral troops would probably have loyalty to their state.

Biden should claim his team likes playing with live grenades and suggest maybe one of them went off by accident.
Trump had a “real pattern of behavior” so it’s no surprise that he took his own life via two gunshot wounds to the back of the head.
trump fell out of a 30th floor window
fell out of a coconut tree and exists in the context of the ground
What’s the story behind the falling out of a coconut tree jokes I’ve been seeing people make? I was touching grass for a day, and apparently I missed something.
Kamala, explaining a very important concept when discussing non-idealist history, but in the most zooted way possible.
Lol. Is she actually high?
Seems like it
Did anyone try to charge Obama?
Just because he could have been charged but wasn’t, doesn’t make it precedent. Its only precedent if it proceeds to court and there is a finding.
https://www.aclu.org/cases/al-aulaqi-v-panetta-constitutional-challenge-killing-three-us-citizens
The Awlaki family sued Leon Panetta for his involvement in the killing of both Anwar (the father suspected of being an Al-qaeda leader in Yemen) and Abdulrahman (the 17-year old American citizen and son of Anwar)
The judge more or less found that there is nothing in American constituional law that prevents the president from declaring people to be terorrist and then killing them, even if they’re American citizens, minors, or located in a country that isn’t at war with the US
Look even if it’s illegal, Trump is going to destroy our democracy so I’m going to have to ask Joe Brandon to take one for the team and risk going to jail for assassinating him with a drone.
By not assassinating Trump, Biden is ensuring Trump will receive millions of votes. So Biden is the biggest trump voter in the country
A vote for Biden is a million votes for Trump!
