'There Are No Kings in America': Biden Blasts Supreme Court, Issues Dire Warning After Immunity Ruling
President Joe Biden delivered a scathing rebuke of the Supreme Court on Monday, condemning their ruling granting presidents absolute immunity from prosecution for official acts. In a somber address from the White House, Biden warned of dire consequences should former President Donald Trump secure a ...
“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”
Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.
Dumbass and spineless Biden and Democrats. The supreme court literally just started that America had a king but this dumbass party would rather take some stupid fucking high road bullshit instead of playing the game to ensure the fascist fuck around and find out.
They don't even have to resort to assassinations, they could really tell the IRS to audit 501(c) and remove their status from the churches and bullshit Republican charities, or tell the justice department to focus on domestic terrorism and corruption to fuck over Republican groups and representatives, or tell the FDA to allow the sale of raw milk.
Play the god damn game and be the fucking king if these corrupt justice says there's a king.
Ok Biden, time to do something about these fascists. They just gave you everything you need to squash the threat, on a silver platter fit for a king. It’s time to process the new information, understand the powers granted to you, and act - are you up to this task? Please don’t let America down, because you have asserted yourself as the only one who can now do anything about it.
I like how every single one of these comments are blaming Biden and the Democrats for a supreme court ruling that the conservatives and Republicans enacted. How about we put the blame on the people who are actually doing the terrible things?
This is why the Republicans keep winning btw, because they're united.
I'm angry, sad, frustrated, tired.
Trump, his people and party are still causing damage while he's out of office, Project 2025, increased corporate and government surveillance and abuse, global rise in unrest, war, and fascism, accelerating climate change, Biden and his administration asleep and decaying at the wheel at this point, a corrupt congress and Supreme Court, people too busy with inflation and a whole lot of manufactured shit to unite and do anything about anything with peaceful protests that usually end in cops waving their fat budget around to arrest, beat up, or tear gas them with military spec gear. I don't like where this is going.
At what point do Americans use that 2nd Amendment against tyranny as it was intended? Or is that difficult because the wrong party and classes have most of the guns? Is a peaceful resolution even possible with the way things are? I'd like that to be the case. The founders must be rolling in their graves. Maybe we should do it like the French, roll out the guillotines, and shut this shit show down globally before it gets any worse.
We're supposed to be evolving into a more free society... this is just going backwards. Do people really want to spend their lives without having known true liberty and peace? I see many dejected people saying "rip democracy just put us out of our misery" or "it's over". Can you really value life that little, even or especially your own that you just wait for a perceived inevitable outcome that's being dictated by those with power and wealth? I do get it believe me but we should really be doing something substantial at this point to secure a healthy future for all humanity with all of our advancements. The world can't continue the way it has been anymore.
Maybe he should wield his newfound power instead

What is to stop Biden from cancelling the upcoming election?
Being now his powers are effectively unchecked, couldn't he just call off the election as an official act. Rather than stupid shit like ordering assassination or deploying the military, just say "I'm cancelling the election until such time this ruling is overturned and a constitutional amendment is enacted that states that the president is not immune from criminal prosecution"
Biden no longer has the moral high ground to pretend this would be illegal.
Surpreme Court just literally said he can do whatever he wants. Everything he does is legal.
So use those powers to actually want to "save Democracy" if you believe it's truly in danger. Or would that make your carrot disappear of forcing people to vote for you?
Kill them! Do it!
Instead of issuing a scathing rebuke shouldn't he just mount a posse and pay them a visit now that he can do whatever he wants?
What Biden needs to do, like right fucking now, is pack the courts. AOC trying with a token effort to get them impeached is cute, but will ultimately fail because Republicans won't turn on their own. The Senate is tied (if you count Bernie as one of the dems) and Harris has the tiebreaker. The house is controlled by the Republicans, but only 7 individuals need to break from their party in order to get a simple majority to save the future of America.
Biden could expand the SCOTUS from 9 seats to 13 and immediately submit 4 liberal justices for confirmation to be seated.
Expanding the court doesn't require congressional approval, so Biden could do this unilaterally andas long as he is able to get butts in those seats, they're there to stay even if Trump squeaks his way back in. They could then challenge and overturn the immunity ruling, as well as all the other dogshit rulings that have come out in the last couple of years like Dobbs.He threatened to do it before. He needs to actually pull the trigger.
So, obviously he could just [redacted] the supreme court justices he doesn't like, appoint new ones, and then the only thing congress could do would be to expand the court or whatever, right? but then why couldn't he also just keep killing people in official acts until he gets a bunch of people that are like "yup, that was official and you don't need to do anything about it"? I know that's probably a slippery slope, right and would probably get him a shit ton of public pushback, especially after a certain point, from both conservatives, who predominantly make up the military, and economic power structures, to liberals who would prize decorum and "fair play" above all else (but I repeat myself), and so maybe that leads to a dissolution of society, which maybe leads to an even worse society as the people who control the levers of power are already the most horrible people, but, yadda yadda.
But, I dunno, how many congress people does he have to make go away, before the rest of them start to get the picture and then start to behave in their own self-interest, as they've always behaved? How many people do you really have to threaten in a system where the people who climb to the top are only going to be there out of their own extreme self-interest?
Welp he's just gonna wait till let trump be the first to use it. We are still cooked. 🤡🔫
I never thought I'd say this, but can we channel a little Andrew Jackson energy in regard to the courts?
No kings but us.
Is he going to do anything about it or just promise he won't use his dictatorial powers for evil?
We need someone that will use every tool at their disposal to stop trump.
Biden has shown time and time again, that's he's just not willing to do that.
Stopping trump is more important than Biden, if he won't fight, and he won't get out of the way, and the party won't force him to...
It's time to ask why we still support the party. The voters are the irreplaceable part, not the party.
I wonder how long now until the north and south separate. I'm semi facetious, I don't see how this situation can be resolved from this point. The Supreme Court has to go or else this ends one of 2 ways.
If Biden overturned the decision that gave Donald Trump immunity, then the southern republican states would almost certainly rebel. If Donald Trump takes power as a king in January, then the northern Democratic states will almost certainly rebel.
At this rate American Presidents will be immune from prosecution on humanitarian grounds, same reason 80+ year old prisoners are often released to die free.
That's even more reason for Biden to do something but sadly Democrats have learned helplessness.
I sure hope someone enforces the law
Yeah, "blasted." It couldn't have been a shorter, weaker, speach. Pathetic.
Official act Trump right in his cake hole.
Biden needs to exercise his expanded rights as President to save America by removing agents from all branches of the government who have been working to undermine America. Congress members, Supreme Court Justices, and Presidential candidates with ties to Russia or far-right nationalists should be removed by any means necessary. We’re essentially at war with Russia and we’ve been allowing foreign agents to work against us from inside our country. Take the gloves off and remove those people, they’re trash people who will do it first if/when they get into power next. They’re pretty clearly broadcasting their plans to turn the US into a dictatorship and the SCOTUS just handed them the power to do it the next time they win an election.
De facto, yes there is.
Hehe Biden blasts
Rule 1 does not apply here?
He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.
yet he still won't stop helping the genocide that would guarantee that he would win.
He says that, but has no problem issuing pardons, which is about as king-like as it gets. It circumvents the legal and judicial structure of the entire nation, and he can do so on a whim. It's true that, unlike Trump, he's only pardoned people deserving of pardons, but that's not really the fuckin' point, is it?
This is silly. If this was Obama or Clinton that pushed for this, Democrats would not care. The Left is doing anything and everything to make it sound like Trump is some evil human who does NOT deserve some kind of immunity. They're doing this simply to scare people into voting for them (which both sides are guilty of despite what the Left will tell you...) .For fucks sake, we're talking about the POTUS, what's the purpose of holding the most important job in the world, if you constantly have to worry about going to prison? Ridiculous.
