Showing Original Post only (View all)Biden's "absolute immunity" speech: Satisfied or not? [View all]
It was a good speech but I didn't like the way President Biden immediately ruled out using the powers himself. I think in this atmosphere we have to remain flexible and use every tool we have to navigate what's happening. The rightwing is grabbing power in a grotesque way and because it's being done through the courts there seems to be a lack of will to do anything about it.
