Trump isn't immune, the democrats and their voters are just retarded. Stop backing a walking corpse ffs. Do you really think Trump would be immune if he had some real competition instead of another demented geriatric? Both of them are just old men with potency issues looking to compensate with power over people.
And the "NO TRUMP 2024" people put up a shell of a human as a contender. Of course Trump is immune.
OK, maybe I'm being too harsh. Biden is probably a terrifically nice guy, but at his age, he shouldn't be in politics! There's surely younger, fresher, more viable blood around.

If it was just Trump that would already be bad enough.

Yeah, we now have the groundwork for anyone, regardless of party, to act with complete impunity at the very highest level. There is no way that doesn’t backfire spectacularly at some point.

Yes it’s fucking terrifying. Good luck to you all.

There has been precedent for this for a long time. It was just never tested at the supreme court level. If you time travel back 10 years and ask a constitutional law expert whether or not the president has immunity, they would have answered “Probably, but it’s never been tested. But we all assume the president has immunity while performing the duties of the office”.
All that’s happened here is that something people assumed would hold up in court has now held up in court.
The checks and balances here are supposed to be that if you don’t like the crimes a president commits while in office, you don’t vote for them again.
