The U.S. Supreme Court’s immunity decision has reportedly emboldened the presumptive GOP nominee to pursue his far-right agenda and authoritarian aims “without fear of punishment or restraint.”

    Murder is generally a state offense, but since D.C. is a Federal district, I’m pretty sure murders that occur there would be pardonable.

      Dear Mr Person I Want to Murder

      It would be lovely if you could come visit me in DC. I have a great murder opportunity I’d like to discuss with you

      Sincerely Trump

        I think you lost the discussion thread a little bit. We’re talking about what Biden could do about the corrupt Supreme Court justices. They’re definitely in D.C. already.

          Not really.

          Pardons come up, I mention federal only, you mention murder, and then I make a joke about it.

          You think Biden is gonna murder someone?

            LOL, no.

            But I do think that the fascist SCOTUS judges just gave him that power, and that Biden demonstrating just how terrible a power it is by using it to get rid of them might be the only way to get the decisions overturned and stop the US from becoming a dictatorship.
