The hard-right justice worries that if Trump is prosecuted, defeated presidents might refuse to leave office peacefully.

    We’re fucked.

    They’re arguing whether Trump can be prosecuted for attempting to overthrow an election or whether (assuming he wins the next election) Trump gets to “appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family”.

    If there’s ample evidence you broke a law, you should be prosecuted and held accountable. The alternative is “turning the Oval Office into the seat of criminal activity in this country”. If Trump thinks he can go after Biden for something no one has brought any evidence to suggest he has done (for how many years?), go for it. Evidently at least a third of this country is stupid enough to believe anything that comes out of this idiot’s mouth and believe the President of the United States should be at all concerned with anyone breaking the law.

    I really do appreciate the Supreme Court’s attention to history and their responsibility to future generations of this country. But fuck, this is stupid. This country is stupid.
