“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”

Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

    Or maybe your views are just wildly unpopular, that’s a possibility too.

        Yah, I mean you’d hate to have any introspection, easier to insult everyone else.

          Right because if a few idiots say some dumb shit it’s my issue. I love how online idiots think they know everything about a person from one interaction

          Even if all of Lemmy hated my opinion in this thread that wouldn’t make them right

            And you calling them idiots doesn’t make it so either. It’s just easier to call everyone dumb than genuinely consider their opinion.

            Everyone hating your opinion doesn’t make them automatically right, but it also doesn’t make them automatically wrong. Either way, only an idiot has everyone tell them they’re wrong and never considers that they just might be.

              I’m assuming that since I also had a comment that was heavily upvoted yesterday, you think I should suck my own dick for being extra correct?

              No? Only should take it to heart if I’m downvoted by people advocating murder eh? Funny how that works.

                Nope, that’s not at all what I said. See that’s your issue, you want to get mad and hyper defensive about everything instead of just having some introspection when people are telling you you’re wrong. I basically said “if everyone is telling you you’re wrong, that’s a good indicator that you should at least reevaluate your position” and you had to take that and get defensive. If this is how you handle someone else’s views then ya, I get why you’re down voted.

                You’re building a straw man and then trying to use that straw man to back your point. I clearly stated that other people’s opinion does not make you right or wrong. This is a great example of your problem. You’re not even trying to understand the point I’m making, you’re just getting upset because someone suggested the idea that you might, just maybe, be wrong. So you make super hyperbolic statements and misrepresent what I said.

                    Man, you really do just toss insults instead of taking a few seconds to think. I’ve gone from trying to express my thoughts on your situation to being on board with everyone else. You’re an insufferable child that is unable or unwilling to understand basic concepts. Being called a weirdo by someone with your cognitive rot is a compliment.
