Another wild thought: Biden could test the limits of presidential immunity.

Joe Biden should see if squatters rights extend to the White House.

I’ve been wondering how hilarious it would be if they pulled a Trump and just nope and say Kamala is the president.

Biden already worked under someone who had no problem killing US civilians Source. That escaped prosecution because it was an official act despite it being a clearly criminal act 18 U.S. Code § 1119

Didn’t Obama also kick out more illegal immigrants than a bunch of presidents before him? Maybe I’m misremembering, but I do remember nobody giving a shit about illegal immigrants being kicked out. Then Trump came and people freaked out, as if it didn’t happen under Obama as well.

Shit was weird.

Obama was literally known as deporter-in-chief and he deported more in his in either of his terms than Trump did in his four years Source. But be careful some smart ass is probably gonna start screaming you can’t say both sides, and you’re a foreign asset trying to depress the vote because they can’t be bothered to read.

I don’t follow what you’re implying with this. Can you explain what you mean?

The short answer is that Trump said that the President can’t be held accountable for criminal acts done while in office, and the Supreme Court agreed. I believe he went as far as to say that the President is immune to prosecution for having political opponents assassinated, but I can’t remember if that’s true or not. Regardless, the implication here is that Biden should do whatever is necessary to prevent another Trump presidency since he has presidential immunity.

I tend to prefer monk class for DND and other TTRPGs, but no, I’ve never gone by that user name.

Biden should do an “official act”, then resign immediately afterwards.

My 85 year old German mother-in-law (born in 1939 and moved to Canada around 1960), suggested the same thing.

Expand the Supreme Court to 200 people, appoint the most progressive persons out there. Federally legalize marijuana and drop all restrictions on it. Forgive all student and medical debt. Raise the federal minimum wage to $30/hr. Tax all rental income at 4,000%.

Sure it would probably all get undone before the Toupee hit 100 days in office, but what a sweet couple months that would be.

It’s honestly the least he could do. Sure he was a good president with good policies but keeping your head down and fixing things that the GOP are only going to claim credit for isn’t helpful at the moment. The DNC has managed to turn decades of good will and evaporate it into nothing. So yes, giving us this small inconsequential win would not be too big of an ask.

Oh no, those poor wealthy maga merch company owners would have to print something new knowing their cult would feel obligated to buy it?

Funny in theory but it’d just enrich the grifters. Yeah, the cult members deserve it…but I can’t get behind furthering the wealth divide
