No one thinks for a moment that the Supreme Court is going to throw Trump off the ballot. But the idea of universal presidential immunity should scare the living hell out of you.
I don’t want to seem like chicken little here. I also have great faith in nearly every member of Daily Kos and their understanding of what is taking place But, everyone in America needs to understand what this means. It’s not about Trump being held immune from January 6th, it’s about every single President is immune from any criminal act, FOR ALL TIME.
Look I am not someone who gets nervous over everything, I’m not one of those Democrats that cry in fear over every bad poll. My friends often tease me about my positivity and my patience. But, this is terrifying!
I don’t care if they are a Republican, a Democrat, a nonvoter, or an independent. This should terrify you because it diminishes all of us. There will be nothing stopping An American President from politically assassinating or imprisoning political opponents or THEIR SUPPORTERS! A President will be able to declare Martial law or take away the right to assemble and there will be nothing anyone can do. He can cancel elections if his party loses control of Congress, he can even declare an end to term limits. I’m sorry but how does an American ever feel safe again? How does a person raise a family in a country that gives a President the powers of a dictator?
Now some of you are saying “But Bobby Checks and Balances, congress will step in ”No they won’t, they will have no legal leverage or right to do so.
Some of us are saying that the Supreme Court has just exposed to every American that Trump now has the right to kill them, how is this good politically for him? My answer is how the hell is he leading in the polls with 91 indictments?
Look I’m on the freaking edge this morning clearly. Any thoughts or comments would be most welcome. If you think I’m wrong please tell me, believe me, it will be a comfort.
I’m just playing the words of my late mother in my head over and over again.
“When it's political and Bobby is worried, that is when you need to be terrified!”
