Tbh I expect they’d thank us if we set ST6 on him like bin Laden. Genuinely, Murdoch has had just as profound and negative of an effect on society, but also enriched himself enormously in the process. Dude is one evil motherfucker.
I don’t believe the recent court ruling would actually allow that because suspending court justices isn’t a regular part of the president’s duty.
The best king example I’ve seen is that the president would be within the law if they shot the director of homeland security - the president is allowed to control who is in that position, they can remove them at will - the SC ruling means that the method they chose to remove that person is now unimpeachable… if they chose to suspend them by freeing them of their mortal coil they’re “acting within official duties”.
It might be illegal for the DOJ personnel to follow that order, but he can just tell them he’ll pardon them for any crimes they’re charged with for following his order and that he’ll murder them if they don’t follow his order, and all of that is totally legal
Or…
The president can just order the DOJ to imprison him for actions against the US government and outright treason.
And it would be totally legal
But he won’t, because he doesn’t take the threat of fascism serious.
Joe Biden is acting like a complete pussy following milquetoast Merrick’s lead
“Nothing will fundamentally change.”
Toss him in jail for one day and you’d see all this shit stop.
Add the owner of fox in the same cell. You’d be amazed how quickly things would clean themselves up.
Took one bullet to stop 1/6.
Fascists are usually cowards, but they’ll always keep pushing till there’s consequences.
Biden will not fucking give them consequences. They gave him the power to, and dude immediately announced publicly that he’d never do it.
Like, that alone should be disqualifying.
Biden treats this personal, it’s him vs trump. But this is so much bigger and so much more important than either of those old rich men.
Yup. I keep drifting back to RGB and how much she screwed us. (obv it’s Republicans fault in the end, but she could have played that a bit different)
Bullies on a bigger scale
You’ll have to extract Rupert Murdoch from Australia.
I’m pretty sure we could find some Australians willing to hand him over
Any not in his pay

Directing the DOJ is
So Biden can direct them to arrest someone, and throw them in gitmo.
His motivations can’t be investigated. And directing the DOJ is within a presidents power
It might be illegal for the DOJ personnel to follow that order, but he can just tell them he’ll pardon them for any crimes they’re charged with for following his order and that he’ll murder them if they don’t follow his order, and all of that is totally legal
But we’ll never know, because looking into his motivations is literally forbidden.
All he can be tried for is the action in a vacuum. And if it was explicitly within his powers. He’s good
Literally anything that goes thru an agency is automatically cool.
That’s why it’s so dangerous to half ass this election and for Biden to just ignore all the power he has.
The president can pardon people for unspecified things (proven by Trump). He can pardon anyone for “following orders”
If he cared about protecting the country from fascism, he wouldn’t be running.
