If they can come after Jimmy Carter for armed robbery, who among us is safe from this tyrannical Biden Presidency?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

yeah it is completely unacceptable to go after your political opponents like this. that's why we should lock up the Biden crime family.

The guy in the background only makes the picture funnier. It’s Waffle House. People whip out guns all the time, so he’s not even remotely scared.

The guy knows that as long as he keeps his head down and serve pancakes, nobody is going to harm him.

That... actually would be a genius strategy to force the issue of presidential immunity to be resolved. Time to get biden a 30 day prison sentence for reckless driving his Camero, doing doughnuts on the national mall.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Former presidents aren't allowed to drive.

What are they gonna do, charge him?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

That seems a bit outrageous if it's true.

Edit: from what I can tell, former presidents on public roads is a secret service no-go. Still absolutely crazy.

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Bush Jr has a closed trail on his ranch that he's allowed to drive on. Any public roads, he's getting chauffered by the Secret Service.

Fuck, it would probably get him more votes TBH

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

The US should buy him his bourbon, meth and hookers after what it did to him.

You either die young or live long enough to see yourself become the villain of poor underpaid Waffle House employees.
