It's why I await a new Democratic president with the authority from the Supreme Court to have full immunity.

The SCROTUS decides what qualifies. If Republican SCROTUS, Republican president is fine to do whatever and a Democrat one is not. If Democrat SCOTUS, they will say the president does not have immunity regardless of political party. So only Republican presidents will ever benefit from it.

So you can be disappointed for 48 consecutive months while they use that power to entrench fascism?

Democratic leadership just negotiated more money for ICE in the latest funding resolution.

There may be an ok democrat here and there, but the core of the party is rotten.

As if a Dem would actually use that authority to enact progressive legislation…
