      If they rule that a president is above the law, they are effectively creating a monarchy. All divine rights bestowed upon someone by virtue of existence.

      Isn’t this one of the big reasons americans defend their rights to bear arms? To prevent/remove a tyrannical government?

        Yeah, ruling in the favour of this would be a massive Pandora’s box and I’m not sure the supreme court would want that at that moment. If Trump were President they would probably agree though.

    Biden: “Remember when he was trying to deal with covid, he said just inject a little bleach in your veins? He missed it. It all went to his hair.”

    He added: “I probably shouldn’t have said that.”

    Everyone remember that whole part about never having a king? That the US had a president INSTEAD of a king?

    Jesus.

    Read the fucking Declaration of Independance into the case record.
