President Biden: With fear for our democracy, I dissent

 

After his highly criticized debate in Atlanta President Biden flew to North Carolina for a campaign rally there where he said this:

I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easily as I used to. I don't talk as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know like millions of Americans know. When you get knocked down, you get back up. I give you my word as a Biden, I would not be running again if I didn't believe, with all my heart and soul that I can do this job

Here are Trump’s lies during the debate debunked with charts


Later President Biden addressed the U.S. Supreme Court decision that Donald Trump was immune from prosecution for official acts he took during his presidency.


“For all practical purposes, today’s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the president can do,” Biden said, adding that he pledges “to respect the limits of the presidential powers.”


Donald Trump sent a violent mob to stop the peaceful transfer of power. We watched it happen, the attack on police, the ransacking of the Capitol, a violent mob hunting down the House Speaker, the gallows erected to hang Mike Pence. It was one of the darkest days in the history of America. Now the man who sent that mob is facing potential criminal conviction. The American people deserve an answer about what happened on January 6 before they’re asked to vote again this year.”


It will now depend on the character of the men and women who hold the presidency to define the limits of its power. I will respect the limits as I have for three and a half years. But any president, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law. I concur with Justice Sotomayor’s dissent. She said ‘In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law. With fear for our democracy, I dissent.’ So should the American people dissent. I dissent.”

Meanwhile, the leader of Trump’s terrifyingly fascist Project2025 plan just said this: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be”
