Trump is openly saying he will do that. This won’t be fixed without amending the Constitution or SCOTUS receiving that decision.

It does matter, because we have two old people running for the office, and one of them is a convicted felon that should also be in prison.
We won’t be much better if we force Biden out. There isn’t anyone that would be a clear and obvious choice.
I’m saying that the test won’t conclude anything in the eyes of the public, so it is a pointless request.
It’s not. Democrats right now would vote for Biden if he was in a coma. We had the “luxury” of experiencing how each of them run the country.
Biden, unlike other potential democratic candidates is more likely to have some non trump Republicans voting for him.
The fact that media is only talking about Biden without urging trump to step down shows me the whole thing is astroturfed.
From this interview it looks like his motor skills are slow but he is functioning fine.
This whole thing was astroturfed, because trump knows Biden could get some Republicans voting for him. If it wasn’t, we would see similar requests for trump to stop down, but there are crickets, why?
Trump wants him gone, because Republicans (not maga ones, but the ones that call themselves “independents”) are more likely to vote for him than anyone else the democratic party puts up.
In the interview he is not a fast talker (he never was, he has a speech impediment since childhood) but what he is saying actually makes sense unlike the far guy.
Even during the debate, while trump appears to talk smoothly, but if you actually listened and trying to understand what he said it was just rambling that was getting worse as the debate continued. He wasn’t even responding to questions asked.
I know why he refused to do this interview as well, because he would have to answer questions and people could easily compare their responses.
Yes, Biden isn’t young, but the fact that media pushing on him and ignoring obvious signs of dementia on Trump side tells me that this whole thing is astroturfed.
Sure, he is 3 years older than trump, but at last he is not afraid to rely on experts in his administration. Unlike the previous guy who fired everyone and decided to run the country by himself and got us into a pandemic that we had not experienced for 100 years.
4 or of 5 biggest protests in US history happened during trump. We damaged our relationship with allies, NATO was on the brink of breaking.
Everyone also talked about economy being great under trump, but after mid 2018 we started having crashes, and looked like might get recession. And in 2020 economy fell for obvious reasons.
Holy fuck, he managed to pass bills that others failed, despite Republicans trying to block everything. He reunited the West and NATO after his predecessor severely weakened us. We got back from the pandemic that the orange boofon mishandled, with record number in jobs, lost unemployment.
Yes he is passing, and he can govern.
We are taking about this after one debate, where the fat ass was actually speaking nonsense.
Edit: also after watching the full interview (I recommend it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8LoAsHz-Mc they said they also offered similar interview to Trump and he refused it all together. The ones that he attended were heavily edited. It is crazy it’s like living in an opposite world.
This is stupid thing to request, because such test will not provide a true/false response but a bunch of indicators. And with disinformation it will just create its own negative interpretation no matter what.
Just look at how “experts” talk about covid vaccines.
The media is being paid to just hamper this. Isn’t it strange that no one cares about trump viabiity for the office?
Provide a free retirement ticket to Guantanamo Bay.
For all intents and purposes does. Just SCOTUS made itself as a final check on what is an official act and what isn’t.
We are dealing with an openly partisan court. Normally this wouldn’t affect it, but they already broke a lot of rules.
The ruling doesn’t even allow unrelated trials to use evidence that might be from official presidential business. Trump just requested his conviction in NY to be overburdened based on this ruling. So how it would not protect criminal acts when you can see in your own eyes this being used to get away from criminal acts. The other trials are also in jeopardy.
As for the “decision made by trials court” that is insignificant as SCOTUS can override them.
Sadly no. The way they turned it around was very clever.
So they said that only official presidential business is immune, but were ambiguous what that actually means, so inevitably they made it so it would go through them to determine what is the official business.
Second thing is that they picked up from their ass that Constitution also says that no official business can be used in any trial, even if it is unrelated. This not only jeopardizes all the indictments he had, it possibly will negate the New York trial.
trump already submitted request to have it referred based on this SCOTUS ruling.
This election might be the last free election we have. And even if trump loses it will still not be over.
Please vote and make your friends and family vote. And not just for president but also for the Congress.
Edit: I also recommend everyone a book “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century” (there’s also reading on YouTube) all the warning signs are present. The more people are aware what it is at stake the higher chance that this can be stopped.
It is, but the more people read it the bigger hope we have that it won’t happen.
Constitutional amendment(s) could fix things, but there needs to be enough people in Congress willing to pass it.
I highly recommend the following book: “On Tyranny: twenty lessons from the Twenty Century”
There’s also reading of it by the author on YouTube.
You vote for the person who selects the people for SCOTUS. There are two very old members (Thomas and Alito) that will likely be replaced in the next 4 years. Are you willing to let trump replace them with 40 year olds and fuck us for decades to come?
Agree, and the media jumped on this bandwagon, because he is promising to tax the rich.
This was something that they did not expect of centrist Joe to do.
