        Agreed. But he’s not. Even driving a car in shades he just talked about how cool his dad was when he drove a car in shades.

        Man, my dad was so good at spraying the supreme court with Tommy Gun fire. That was the generation that knew how to get things done, am I right jack? biden

      I thought the entire concept was jokey, but OK, let me restate my point: Yes, the US government has killed many people, though typically individually and discretely. The president personally shooting multiple supreme court justices as Sickos suggested would be seen to be several levels above that and probably be too extreme for even democrat supporters to stomach. The dems also seem to like to be seen to be playing fair, which suggests they wouldn’t even contemplate that approach.

        Biden gunning down supreme court justices is of course a jokey image, presented by you.

        My point was that the idea that political violence doesn’t occur is counter-factual. It is deeply ingrained in the history and present of the United States as a country. Therefore the idea that any sort of armed resistance or defence, or anything else the state regularly demonises as violence such as property damage or sabotage, is a bad idea because it might lead to the start of the state using violence in retaliation is moot. The state already does, even sometimes against itself.

          Biden gunning down supreme court justices is of course a jokey image, presented by you.

          This was the exact statement Sickos made at the top of the thread: ‘Bro Biden is going to die in the next four years regardless; he could personally shoot every conservative supreme court justice. He chooses not to. How can you respect that?’ I thought it was posted in a jokey way, and so engaged with is as such. It seems I was wrong in that, for which I apologies to both you and them.

          Furthermore, given the latest supreme court ruling regarding presidential immunity, it seems I was wrong in assuming such an action it would be too extreme even for the US. I retract my statements to that effect. Seen as he’s been given a green light to do anything that could be considered an official act, this would now seem like an entirely feasible approach to the problem.
