This is the very essence of the difference that should exist between a President and a King. From Federalist 69:
The President of the United States would be liable to be impeached, tried, and, upon conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law. The person of the king of Great Britain is sacred and inviolable; there is no constitutional tribunal to which he is amenable; no punishment to which he can be subjected without involving the crisis of a national revolution. In this delicate and important circumstance of personal responsibility, the President of Confederated America would stand upon no better ground than a governor of New York, and upon worse ground than the governors of Maryland and Delaware.
The failure of the Republican party to support this kind of check on Presidential power is why we’re having this crisis now.
“Oh, shit, so you mean Biden could have just cancelled all that student debt anyway?”
“Well of course not, don’t be stupid!”
That’s the problem with being on the side of the rule of law: you’re constrainted by it, but the side of lawlessness is not.
Something about in groups and out groups
If you outlaw dictatorships, only outlaws will be dictators.
Except when you override prohibitions on arming a county in defiance of the ICC because it’s Israel.
You know he’s not president anymore, right? And that party lost the election?
Now we’ve got a guy who’s excited for ethnic cleansing so he can open a casino in Gaza.
Congratulations.
Maybe, just maybe, it is because something is wrong in-of-itself and not because it is a wedge issue used to demotivate voters?
Without commenting on the US’s attitude towards Israel, the US is not party to the ICC so no act is defiance because the ICC doesn’t have jurisdiction.
Congrats! You are the toad in the (now) boiling water. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
Even if they are not American, they are fucked as well.
They helped hand over the strongest military in the history of the world to fascists. Fascists do not stop at their borders. They are like locusts, hell bent on murder and conquering. I’m glad I got passports so I can get my wife and kids out when shit hits the fan.
So, um, I have some good news and some bad news…
