> [@Biffster](#): > > So if a President has immunity while he is in office, theoretically Biden could have Trump executed tomorrow if he wanted to and call it “presidential immunity.” Something to consider. I was thinking along the lines of a Presidential Executive Order #xxxxxx “No person convicted of a felony my hold the title of President of the United States of America” I would probably include congress and SCOTUS. I work for county government. I wouldn’t have been hired if I had a felony conviction. MAGA would of course throw a hissy fit. They are welcome to use THEIR fainting couch. ---

Apparently having his perceived enemies charged and tried isn’t enough for Trump. He’s now suggesting (at the urging of his supporters, evidently) holding televised military tribunals. > [@](#): > > Of particular interest was a message that the former president amplified, which asserted that former Republican Rep.

I do have faith that Merchan won’t be steam-rollered. Or commit reversible error. He’s a smart dude. But inevitably, it looks like, the GOP will be able to hold their convention without the prospect of Donald needing to wear an ankle-monitor. A damn shame–the symbolism of him being Teflon Don is so bad for the country. ---

A damn shame–the symbolism of him being Teflon Don is so bad for the country. Then again, being sentenced for multiple felonies a couple of months before the election can’t be a good look.

And you know damn well that’s going to be all over the news cycle. That has got to be making Republicans very nervous. It would certainly make _Democrats_ very nervous. Republicans? I don’t know. They may think it will sell well with their base. It goes nicely with their Persecuted Messiah brand. Not to mention, they will be all agog over the possibility that all those convictions are about to be overturned, courtesy of the Supreme Court’s '_We Wuv Oo Donald!’_ Imperial-Presidency immunity decision. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > Republicans? I don’t know. They may think it will sell well with their base. It goes nicely with their Persecuted Messiah brand. If they are counting on their base alone they are fucked. Their base isn’t that large. Even if they get “fired up”, that’s not going to be enough to win the battleground states they need. The independents and undecideds? They might not be cool with voting for a guy who was just locked up for felony fraud. And that would tank Trump’s chances. Of course, this is all predicated on something actually happening in September aside from another delay or a meaningless light sentence (like a fine). Or maybe some other technicality. ---

C’mon, folks. You know the recent Supreme Court decision granting the president immunity doesn’t apply to actions Biden takes. After all, he wasn’t legitimatley elected. Nor was Obama. At leat that’s what the scumplicans will say. ---
