    Does Trump know this ruling could end with Biden legally ordering his assassination? His opponent is President right now.

      I think Trump’s betting on the Supreme Court dragging their feet long enough to where Dark Brandon cannot Dark Brandon, but Trump can just assassinate anyone who says he can’t be a 3rd term president.

      The important question is, if this ruling goes through, will Biden understand the implications. And will he have enough balls to pull the trigger.

      Oh look at me, fantasizing about Biden murdering Trump. Oopsie!

        Oopsie!

        No oopsie here, it’s double jeopardy after the GOP feigning victimhood for years on end. Play games, win prizes.
