“(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.

    Yeeaaahhh but… When the left goes to extremes youat have to deal with things that are strange or annoying. When the right goes to extremes, entire groups of people are pushed further into poverty, lose their rights, and die.

    These two things are NOT the same.

    Also: the right has been moving the goal post so many times that extreme left in the US is still considered far right in Europe. You don’t know what far left is.
