i think it would be funny if joe went sicko mode on this precedent and did some housecleaning to demonstrate materially why and how the supreme court made a massive mistake.

He won't but it seems win/win to me.

I mean, he's not long for this world so he won't even really have to deal with the consequences.
He'll definitely end up in the history books for centuries.
We wouldn't have to deal with Trump anymore.
The Republican party would be in chaos.
There would almost certainly be a bipartisan push for a constitutional amendment to limit the ability of the President to do shit like that in the future.

The only potential downside I can see is that they might use Trump as a martyr to get someone even crazier and probably smarter elected.

They're all acting like they DONT live in a country of gun loving nut jobs. How much furthers it gotta go before someone decides to become a martyr on either side and try "solve the problem" with a rifle?

Oh yeah, the end of democracy and the peaceful transition of power, and the beginning of outright fascism. So funny! Haha.

It wasn't funny when that actually came to pass but we're beyond that stage now. Democracy is already dead. Peaceful transition has already failed. January 6th was the fuckaround, and it's begging for a findingout.
