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.

The Republican District Attorney in Butler County, PA, should immediately file charges against Joseph R. Biden for inciting an assassination.

Why? Supreme court very explicitly said that it would be legal.

Ok let them bring the charges against him and let’s have the supreme clown court explicitly say it’s not an official act. Let’s get that on record now.

Like the six stooges on the court wouldn’t find it unofficial for Biden and then two months later say the exact same thing is legal when a Republican does it.

The record means nothing to these fascists.

SCOTUS says that charges can’t even be brought unless there is a legal procedure where it’s proved to be not “an official act,” and DoJ has the burden of proof on that.

Let’s say we’re living in Crazytown (a stretch, I know), and Biden did order this assassination attempt. The legal process for actually charging Biden with anything would be so long as to deny justice, and that doesn’t even count the additional time it would take to try the case and come to a verdict.

Let’s say we’re living in an alternate universe Crazytown, where Trump actually died, too. That years-long legal process would still be in effect, and “Biden with a Goatee” would enjoy the political benefits of the assassination the entire time, even if he was ultimately charged and found guilty and sentenced to prison several years later.

This is why the SCOTUS ruling on criminal immunity for Presidents is America’s Enabling Act.

On the other hand, I can totally see a future Republican president digging up Biden’s corpse and putting it on trial like he was the Pope.

The exact type of scenario was posed to the Court and SCOTUS bought it.

We tried warning you all.

Clearly he wasn’t acting officially as president when he used the EPA to poison this young man’s mind with freedom (pfas) free water. He was acting as the authoritarian head of ANTIFA
