Biden Trump debate- they must get rid of Biden now?

Biden’s stepped down from the candidacy.

It Is Scotus that has undermined democracy here, like the German Enabling Act.

Don’t be daft. Trump may be an awful prospect but he is a political candidate and the only reason he would become president is because a democratic vote placed him there. Democracy is about accepting other people’s choice is not the same as your own. Biden ‘getting in first’ and killing off Trump doesn’t make him any less of a autocrat than if Trump did declare himself dictator and somehow managed to overthrow all the other arms of government.

It's not killing a political opponent it's taking out a national security threat who by his own admission has stated that he will put an end to democracy.

Adam Kinzinger (a Republican ) just said today on CNN that now that scrotus deemed trump immune from anything done officially, it means biden could too...and he could use it now to prevent trump from being able to run, even if it means killing him.

Looks like a few people agree with me...

I 100% realize what trump will be able to do with this ruling, hence why I said "there goes any opposition." I was simply stating that Biden can use the same ruling to his advantage by getting rid of Trump once and for all.

The immunity didn't already exist.

It's why Nixon had to be pardoned.

Biden isn't confused.

This is a biased supreme court ruling.

It would appear that Biden's even more confused than we perhaps thought, given his comment on the most recent ruling around presidential immunity: “This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one, no one is above the law. Not even the president of the United States,” Mr Biden said. With the decision on Monday, he said, “that fundamentally changed”

I'm not sure how it can have "fundamentally changed" when the immunity already existed, but perhaps he just means it doesn't suit the Democrats' campaign?

In what way is killing your political opponent because you don’t like their views and they might win an election, understanding democracy?

They should have let the independent candidate Robert f Kennedy join the debate

I'm guessing you don't realise what Trump will be able to do with this ruling in his second term.

"A dictator on day one"

Is damned right.

I guess you don't understand the meaning of democracy, let's hope biden's administration does.

No not at all.

I don't think he's really much like a traditional dictator in his character. People compare him to PUtin, I think that's a real misunderstanding of what kind of person he is and his interests.

Whatever we could say about Putin's moral character, his motivations is very much political control, he has specific policy and goals he wants, and he is very hard working.

I don't think Trump has much interest in politics really, and he's not especially a hard worker, or driven. I don't think he particularly enjoys the work of being president.

The biggest issue with losing the election for him was about his ego. And if he reached the end of his term limit, that wouldn't have any implications for his ego.

Biden should use the supreme court's verdict today to get rid of trump. He's a threat to democracy, a strike team could easily fix all of this.

Biden certainly would not just be a threat to democracy if he did that, he would have killed democracy.

You think that trump will willingly cede power🤣🤣
are you kidding??

Not true. Overestimating the power the president currently has, not overestimating the power a president could have if he does away with the checks and balances and replaces competent government workers with incompetent yes men, both part of Trump's plan. And now it looks like he also can't be held accountable for his crimes in office so there goes any opposition...

I think they should get rid of bot of them.

I think it would be much, much easier for Trump to let go at the end of a second term, because it wouldn't be an election loss. So no loss of face.

I think you might be wrong on this. He's not going to let things slip through his fingers again. He's in it for the long haul and will force through the changes necessary to facilitate this.

I hope you are right, I hope it doesn't end in civil war.

Trump's second reign will be same as the first. The government running things largely as usual with a President who spends his time spouting bullshit on Twitter.

I hope you're right.

Anyone who is dumb enough and/or mad enough would presumably not have enough credibility to attract voters? So it does (hopefully) look like a catch 22 for him 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nonsense. You are hugely overestimating the power the president has.

Considering what happened with Mike Pence during the Jan 6 debacle, I wonder who would be mad enough to want to be Trump's VP.

Indeed. Trump has said openly that he'll "only be a dictator on day one"

One day is all a dictator needs, to take executive powers and transform government. There is a well-oiled MAGA war machine ready to do this.
