Collins followed up with another tweet calling for the local county prosecutor to “immediately file charges against Joseph R. Biden for inciting an assassination.”

Someone didn’t get the memo from SCOTUS.

Democrats need a crazy congressman to come out and say this was a fake assassination attempt.

“Donald was allowed to have his center mass and head exposed by trained secret service agents in the most staged looking photo I’ve seen. He has a history in pro wrestling, hell Linda McMahon worked with him in his cabinet for years, so blood packs are no mystery, and are you going to tell me that a rooftop a mere 400 feet away from him was unmonitored? This is all faker than his tan.”

While there are stupid people on the left, they don’t usually get into office the way they do on the right.

He was stabbed by a knife (no serious damage) while being carried by his supporters. It was claimed to be political, but afterwards there were accusations that it was staged.

Even if he did, SCOTUS just ruled he would be immune to prosecution.

Or at least it would have to be shown to not be an official act. And since taking classified documents home with you and showing them around to people after your presidential term is over may or may not be an official act, all bets seem to be off.

They ruled in a way that didn’t really define what an official act was, so if I’m not mistaken, any act could still be up to SCOTUS to ultimately determine if charges were brought and prosecuted.

This so what I was trying to argue elsewhere: people keep saying it made the POTUS a king, but if I were POTUS and wanted to do something questionable, I know who I would be running it by first.

So Judas, one of Jesus’ nearest friends betrayed him. History rimes. OK, now we know this, let’s continue like we did 2000 years ago.

Only thing i would not do, change the cross to a gun next to the 10 commandments in each school class, TBH.

And so fucking what. What are they gonna do. Are they gonna outlaw the exact thing that SCOTUS decided because it suddenly occurred to them that a sword cuts both ways? No. They just going to make a lot of fucking noise to rile up their own base. We all know where this is going and it’s nowhere good. And the worst part - the worst part? America was able to bail Europe out of the debacle when it happened last time. There’s nobody to bail us out of this cluster fuck.

Ummmm you might care to remember that the USSR also “bailed out” Europe.

You know…in the sense that you were dragged into a war you had no intention of joining, by a foe that had already gone 11 rounds with the UK and Russia.

The UK spent an entire empire “bailing out” europe. Twice. But we don’t hark on about it.

But you’re right about one thing - no one is coming to bail you out. You’ve made it abundantly clear you will only act unilaterally. Europe will stay in its lane, quietly hope that Trump has a stroke, but ready to stand on its own for a 3rd time.
