President Joe Biden warned Monday that a Supreme Court ruling granting presidents broad immunity from prosecutionwould make an unchecked Republican Donald Trump “more emboldened to do whatever he wants” if he regains the White House in November’s election.

Biden, under intense pressure after his disastrous debate performance against Trump last week, urged Americans to think carefully about their election decision and signaled he had no intention of dropping out of the race.

Criticizing the decision by the court’s conservative majority — which all but guarantees Trump will not face trial in Washington ahead of the November election over his actions during the violent riot on Jan. 6, 2021 — Biden said it now fell to the American people “to do what the courts should have been willing to do but will not. 

“The American people have to render judgment about Donald Trump’s behavior.”

Drop. The. Fuck. Out. You are going to fucking lose you geriatric fuck and SCOTUS just ensured that Trump will use his power to be a dictator when he's elected.

Every move like this gets them closer and closer to full on fascism, and gives them more and more power to destroy us and all we can do is hope the idiot democrats put a stop to it, even though all they're doing is sTrOnGlY cOnDeMnInG their actions...

Biden was a sharp contrast to trump regarding the law before the SCOTUS ruling, too.
