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.
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.
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.
Lol, is joke. An account named UniversalMonk used to be notorious for pretending not to understand subtlety to get people to state rule breaking things explicitly, after which that person could be reported/banned.
I thought it was funny for a while, but ended up blocking the account, so I’m not sure if it’s still active
I do find myself missing the subtle points of comments, esp in the more lefty areas of the fediverse. I hope I’m not breaking any rules when I ask. I am genuinely interested.
No, you’re not! It’s just that the comment you replied to may have been alluding to violence, so if they clarified that explicitly in response to your question, they could be reported
Another wild thought: Biden could test the limits of presidential immunity.

Joe Biden should see if squatters rights extend to the White House.
Grandpa’s got a rifle, Grandpa’s got a scope, Grandpa sees you winning, Grandpa blasts a NOPE.
I don’t follow what you’re implying with this. Can you explain what you mean?

That he’s immune to democratic elections
So are a hundred million others
UniversalMonk, is that you?
I tend to prefer monk class for DND and other TTRPGs, but no, I’ve never gone by that user name.
