So let me get his straight. Trumps lawyers are trying to legalize Biden killing Trump? So even his own lawyers prefer him to die instead of becoming president again.
Trump's lawyers are trying to delay his other trials. Create BS arguments that require a ruling before his other trials can proceed, elevate it to Supreme Court, run out the clock, hope he gets elected before other cases find him guilty.
Edit: Spelling
Once the election is over, there's no real incentive to pursue these cases, either. Good chance they all get dropped even if he loses.
That's not how this works. They will keep going because he committed real crimes
That's simply not how the US legal system works
I saw a post elsewhere about this suggesting that Biden send SEAL teams to camp out on the steps of the courthouse where Trump is on trial in NYC, the steps of the Supreme Court, etc. Don’t give them any orders beyond them being stationed there.
If SCOTUS says it’s ok then Biden just orders the SEALs to immediately take out Trump, the SCOTUS justices (well, we know which ones, specifically). Etc.
It would be red meat for conservatives, to be sure. But also, consider the politics of your average Navy Seal...
An army of Dan Crenshaws
The Navy in particular tends to lean left. Not all of them obviously, but I knew some pretty left leaning SEALs when I was a Nuke.
Left relative to other military branches. But when you stack that up against the Fundie Death Cult that is the Air Force and the Hillbilly Hoosegow that is the Marines, that's a low bar.
It would be a mistake to turn this con man into a martyr. There are already enough baffling conspiracies with him as the main character.
Don't assign logic to a position that doesn't have any. Trump could shit his insides out on live TV and die live on air and the crayon eating retards would still turn him into a martyr. This talking point needs to die.
See, that would be poetic justice
