    The CIA has toppled democracies around the world. So its bullshit to say the president has his hands tied…

      If a leader utilizes the intelligence agencies to put down opposition politicians then they are an authoritarian dictator. Biden isn’t that stupid.

        Be careful when you fight monsters. Biden was fucked either way if I’m being honest, I’d even bet a handful of cash that a prominent Dem, perhaps even Biden, gets merked within two years.

        Youre right. Should just let a traitor waltz in and be the authoritarian dictator. We’ll just put Biden in the history book beside Hindenburg.

          So your solution to prevent an authoritarian dictatorship is for Biden to become an authoritarian dictator?

          Te courts are the check against this.

                Being a poltical opposition shouldnt be a shield from consequences. Anyone else, he would have been labeled a terrorist and sent off to gitmo. But i guess US has always been a veil democracy anyway, so im not really suprised once the remaining illusions eroded away.

                  It isn’t a shield from consequences. The courts and DOJ were prosecuting him.

                  There is NO situation where elected officials should be deciding who can oppose them in a democratic electoral system.
