Sounds like something a guilty guy would say.

Just saying.

Does he not realize that Biden could have him assassinated if it passed?

Or any republican that opposed bills or that had groundswell.

If Biden were smart, he would've had Trump assassinated a while ago and made it look like a heart attack from all those Hamburgers.

In recent months, the sources say, Trump has spoken to several GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill, attorneys, and other associates about the possibility of Republicans passing legislation in a second Trump term that would shield former presidents (i.e. Trump) from non-federal prosecutions.

In other words, it would shield former presidents from prosecutions for crimes committed at the state level. Federal prosecution would be unlikely, and friendly administrations could pardon any crimes.

Or, try limiting one's actions such that they match the average American's level of criminality, and just don't be a fascist dictator asshole aiming to deport the people who produce food and... Yeah.

"He may be a fascist dictator, but he's OUR fascist dictator, telling it like it is. Not like Biden with his fascist Antifa troups." ~ The average Trump voter

As long as they also pass one to keep him out of office forever too.

[-] MisterD@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

He'd go on a killing spree

[-] uid0gid0@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

If being prosecuted for doing crimes is troublesome for you maybe stop doing crimes.

[-] kikutwo@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago
