Biden should:

Use his new presidential powers to instruct the FBI and the CIA to find out if there was any manipulation of the votes in the election.

A recount in one or two states may or may not be enough in the time we have.

Considering the time we have, what is needed is a full on top-priority covert investigation that has the full authority to follow every lead, access emails, bank accounts, with judges passing warrants in the night that we never hear about, witnesses being interviewed, etc.

A recount would be great, but if there was election fraud, it's law enforcement's job to find out. And demanding a recount is really putting a lot of undue pressure on Kamala.

The supreme court gave Joe the exact power to do this, literally. Joe should call up the FBI and say "I want to know if the election was stolen. Find out. Use every resource you have and act as quickly as you can."

I don’t think he’s going to do that or that anything is being done like that. He already called to congratulate the psycho and invited him to the White House, etc., to help him.

BTW, Biden doesn’t have any “new powers”, he only has immunity from criminal prosecution for using his existing powers for official acts.

yes I know the semantics. same difference really. in my mind immunity is power. No?

i don't think the FBI could say no, and i'm not sure why they would

it's all conjecture really, it's anyones guess what's going to happen, what is happening that we don't know about, and the most likely outcome is basically nothing. but you never know.

• Give Ukraine what it needs (no limits) to demolish Putin ASAP. Cut off the head of the snake.

• Release all court documents filed by prosecutors before they're burned in a bonfire. (or flushed down the toilet)

• Change all the ciphers and nuclear codes AND TAKE THEM HOME.

• Do everything imaginable to protect agents and assets before they are doxxed by Comrade Caligula for bitcoin.

• And hand the keys to President Harris to make a first, if not last, declaration of equality and opportunity.

Do it for Jimmy.

SCOTUS simply confirmed that POTUS can't be prosecuted for actions taken in service of the Presidency.

Same as it's always been.

The people need to know their vote was counted correctly

The people have their doubts

Therefore my government will do whatever it can to show their vote was counted correctly and we will do so within 20 daays
