An accurate response by Biden?

And you aren't concerned that Trump's lawyers, and now Trump himself, are directly making the argument to elect him as dictator as he as president will be above the law, immune from all prosecution?

A person commits the crime of murder in the first degree if: After deliberation and with the intent to cause the death of a person other than himself, he causes the death of that person or of another person; or Under circumstances evidencing an attitude of universal malice manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life generally, he knowingly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to a person, or persons, other than himself, and thereby causes the death of another.

Why Joe Biden’s fist bump with MBS was such a disaster

In the weeks leading up to President Joe Biden’s trip to the Middle East, one question dominated: Would he meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman? And, if he did, what would his demeanor be?

After all, MBS had been linked by the US intelligence community directly to the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul in 2018. The report, which the Biden administration released in February 2021, concluded that MBS had “approved” the operation that led to Khashogggi’s death.

Fred Ryan, the publisher of The Washington Post, was heavily critical of the decision by the Biden team – calling the fist bump “shameful.” He added: “It projected a level of intimacy and comfort that delivers to MBS the unwarranted redemption he has been desperately seeking.”

California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff was similarly critical. “If we ever needed a visual reminder of the continuing grip oil-rich autocrats have on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, we got it today,” he tweeted. “One fist bump is worth a thousand words.”

I actually hope that the Supreme Court rules Trump isn't immune from prosecution for acts ordered as president. And that Obama is then indicted for the murder of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki.

Trust the plan, Saxi.

Btw who should indict him for that?

It depends. Awlaki was legally domiciled in Colorado when he was killed in Yemen, but Obama conspired to murder Awlaki at the White House which is in the District of Columbia, but is a federal enclave outside the jurisdiction of the City of Washington. So it could be prosecuted by: (a) the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, or, (b) the U.S. Government could extradite Obama to Yemen and he could be put on trial in Yemen. I would prefer option 2 as I think the Houthi court system is faster and more efficient and trying Obama in the U.S. might impair domestic tranquility.

I agree with your belief that the Supreme Court will likely recognize presidential immunity for Donald Trump.

Exactly. The US has no legitimate claim to independence from the UK.

on September 3, 1783, Great Britain formally recognized the independence of the United States in the Treaty of Paris. At the same time, Britain signed separate peace treaties with France and Spain (which had entered the conflict in 1779), bringing the American Revolution to a close after eight long years.
