Jamāl Aḥmad Khāshqujī Is proof that Trump WILL USE the full extent of the immunity that SCOTUS gave him [View all]

If you remember, Khāshqujī’s life was offered up to the Saudi Royals for Kushner’s $2 billion payout. Trump didn’t like him because he worked for the Washington Post. And even if Trump had no opinion of him, he still offered this person’s life up for money.

Do not think Trump won’t use his immunity to kill his opponents. He will. It was part of his arguments to the court in this case.

Biden’s response, that he doesn’t intend to use this power, is not enough. Biden must take actionable steps to correct the court. He needs to use the powers that the court just gave him. Trusting this to the voters is not enough when the SCOTUS can make decisions favorably for Trump during this election. And I guarantee you that Trump has learned from his mistakes last time and that Thomas and Alito are probably back channeling what cases and how to bring them to the courts in order for SCOTUS to rule on them.

This is absolutely a war we cannot win if we do not arm ourselves with the same tools that the Trumpers are using.

Biden must act now, decisively and with force or all is lost.
