Collins followed up with another tweet calling for the local county prosecutor to “immediately file charges against Joseph R. Biden for inciting an assassination.”

Someone didn’t get the memo from SCOTUS.

    Ok let them bring the charges against him and let’s have the supreme clown court explicitly say it’s not an official act. Let’s get that on record now.

      Like the six stooges on the court wouldn’t find it unofficial for Biden and then two months later say the exact same thing is legal when a Republican does it.

      The record means nothing to these fascists.

      SCOTUS says that charges can’t even be brought unless there is a legal procedure where it’s proved to be not “an official act,” and DoJ has the burden of proof on that.

      Let’s say we’re living in Crazytown (a stretch, I know), and Biden did order this assassination attempt. The legal process for actually charging Biden with anything would be so long as to deny justice, and that doesn’t even count the additional time it would take to try the case and come to a verdict.

      Let’s say we’re living in an alternate universe Crazytown, where Trump actually died, too. That years-long legal process would still be in effect, and “Biden with a Goatee” would enjoy the political benefits of the assassination the entire time, even if he was ultimately charged and found guilty and sentenced to prison several years later.

      This is why the SCOTUS ruling on criminal immunity for Presidents is America’s Enabling Act.

          That reminds me of that Lewis Black joke where they dig up a dead justice to swear in a dead candidate and it’s just 2 hours of silence on live national television. He joked that if we did that, no terrorist would ever fuck with the US again because they’d be so creeped out.
