I love how the comment section is trying to cope, but can't seem to cope at all. I ran out of popcorn days ago, but this is a goldmine.

So, if Joe Biden sees Trump as a threat to the U.S. and democracy, he could send Seal Team with no fear of reprisal? Is that the precedent SCOTUS wants to set? Well done, SCOTUS. I am really looking forward to the end of democracy, Russia must be laughing its way to the bank right now… 😞

Hey Biden, looks like you were just given a green light. All you got to do is say you were protecting the constitution.

Once again, six unelected far-right activists are destroying the country and plan to make an insurrectionist traitor a king that rules with no limits… question is: how long are Americans going to accept that without doing a single thing about it?

There is nothing “official” about inciting a violent insurrection. There is nothing official about coordinating a scheme to overthrow an election. There is nothing official about attempting to implement fake electors into our election certification process. Trump is toast.
