Question for the Americans. The Supreme Court has ruled that presidents enjoy automatic immunity for anything they do as part of their official duties (e.g., arrest or kill people). Can he use this to forgive student loans? Like couldn't he just say "I almost fell down the stairs exiting Air Force One yesterday, and the only way I could save myself was by violently flailing my arms in search of the railing while also forgiving student loans"?

No, all the supreme court said was: "You can't do anything illegal, but if you do, you won't get in trouble for it."

So the president still have to find those "yes-men" in the government to do the deed.

He can say: "All student loans are now void. BURN ALL THE RECORDS"

The people that run those departments that administers the student loans would be like: "Um... so do we burn these records or what?" and if even one copy of those records survive, its pointless.

Same with trying to kill the supreme court, doesn't matter. I doubt anyone is obeying those orders. Joe can have a meeting with the justices and then shoot them himself, and he might ne immume. But is that gonna matter? Jan 20 comes and republicans pack the court with even more Magats.

Trying to kill trump doesnt work, he got like so many bodyguards both private and SS, and also if he dies, vance would just take over, or mike johnson, or pres pro tem of senate, like the line of succession is all republicans.

Its over.

Expand the court then? Well, too late now since Dems are losing every branch of government.

"No no you don't understand. The Dems just need to want it more! They just need to fight for it more! Something something bully pulpit! Something sometime party whip!"

I wanted to put an exclamation mark next to my vote but I didn't want to invalidate my ballot.

I wanted it quite a lot, it's just... more really dumb people didn't want anything but to own the libs.

Consider me owned!

By Fascists!
