    I know this, it would have been shooting himself in the foot politically. He might do it if he loses before he leaves office where it can’t effect his presidency directly. Smart? Sure, smarmy absolutely.

    There are things that are possible and things that are probable, in politics the overlaps are rare and slight.

    Sure not something that Biden can change without packing the court which he also can’t do by himself.

    Both are reduced under biden, no thanks to trump. He continued then and actually escalated them, the border is more secure today than at any time in human history which is an issue sure. What enabled Israel is moving the embassy to Jerusalem cementing American policy for the foreseeable future. You could find an actual issue that Biden caused but that’s just me.

    I agree, but implying things were better with Trump in office is next level crazy shit to say.


  • Impeachment is by definition civil. If I can shoot you in the face and get immunity then I can certainly lie to Congress. They’re pretty literally saying it’s absolute immunity.

    “High crimes and misdemeanors” the president is immune to them all now. Criminal, civil, administrative, doesn’t matter with absolute immunity comes absolute power.





  • That’s not what they said iirc. Now everything has to be presented to determine if it was an official act, if so immunity, if not no immunity.

    It’s a very half hearted way to look like they’re backing trump but actually throwing him to the wolves since it’s not an official act and everyone knows it. It would similarly reverse clintons impeachment since lying to Congress was as president and therefore an official act.
