I wish Biden would make the following announcement:
It has come to my attention that Mr. Trump’s lawyers are currently attempting to convince the Supreme Court that it would be legal for me, the President of the United States, to have Mr. Trump killed. I imagine that this is a source of concern for Mr. Trump and so I want to reassure him and the American public that I believe doing so would, in fact, be a crime.

Kurt Vonnegut wasn’t trying to be prophetic, I hope.
“I’ll have Seal Team 6 waiting outside the Courtroom pending the outcome of the case. Choose wisely.”
So let me get his straight. Trumps lawyers are trying to legalize Biden killing Trump? So even his own lawyers prefer him to die instead of becoming president again.
Trump’s lawyers are trying to delay his other trials. Create BS arguments that require a ruling before his other trials can proceed, elevate it to Supreme Court, run out the clock, hope he gets elected before other cases find him guilty.
Edit: Spelling
Once the election is over, there’s no real incentive to pursue these cases, either. Good chance they all get dropped even if he loses.
That’s not how this works. They will keep going because he committed real crimes
That’s simply not how the US legal system works
I saw a post elsewhere about this suggesting that Biden send SEAL teams to camp out on the steps of the courthouse where Trump is on trial in NYC, the steps of the Supreme Court, etc. Don’t give them any orders beyond them being stationed there.
If SCOTUS says it’s ok then Biden just orders the SEALs to immediately take out Trump, the SCOTUS justices (well, we know which ones, specifically). Etc.
It would be red meat for conservatives, to be sure. But also, consider the politics of your average Navy Seal…
An army of Dan Crenshaws
The Navy in particular tends to lean left. Not all of them obviously, but I knew some pretty left leaning SEALs when I was a Nuke.
Left relative to other military branches. But when you stack that up against the Fundie Death Cult that is the Air Force and the Hillbilly Hoosegow that is the Marines, that’s a low bar.
See, that would be poetic justice
It would be a mistake to turn this con man into a martyr. There are already enough baffling conspiracies with him as the main character.
Don’t assign logic to a position that doesn’t have any. Trump could shit his insides out on live TV and die live on air and the crayon eating retards would still turn him into a martyr. This talking point needs to die.
they wished the US was a bit more like Russia don’t they?

Long term thinking does not lead me to recommend martyrdom for Trump. He has earned more than enough of my enmity for it to feel right, but it’s more important to destroy his movement at this point. The Union has to stop “losing the peace” to finally put this festering insurgency to rest.
He could die of natural causes and he will still be martyred by his cult unfortunately
When he dies, many of them will refuse to believe it. Some of them believe JFK is still alive. Not JFK Jr., JFK.
They must have his head in a jar somewhere like Futurama style
I think the idea is that when their leader is gone, they’ll scurry back to their sewers. Which is likely given they’re weak as f…k
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent Cheeto?”
I want to watch him rot in prison.
I want him to watch them take his name off the tower.
I want him to watch Maralago go up for auction.
I want his assets to be sold for a fraction of their worth.
But I guess it’s not about what I want and what justice can afford
that’s your opinion, just like i also have an opinion that my landlord deserved a painful death. What should i do? Fucking kill him?
Would make the debates a lot more interesting.
Biden: “Your lawyers successfully argued before the Supreme Court, that a President has immunity even from assassinating rivals.” (places gun on podium) “Let’s have a serious talk about that.”
It’s a brave stance to take for the lawyer of the president’s political rival, but I can think of worse ways to get rid of a particularly problematic client.
