I’m sure this is totally fine

    Why would he step down? He’s got a lifetime appointment. He’s a corrupt POS. Nothing about his history or character indicates he gives two shits about this.

    The American people really don’t have a say here as fucked up as that is.

      It doesn’t matter. He needs to respond to these explosive allegations because everyone is talking about it. He should give a one-on-one interview to explain himself. Many people are calling for him to resign.

        This motherfucker has no shame. He doesn’t give a shit if people think he’s corrupt or not. They’ll have to make him answer for it. Biden should use that unlimited power they just handed him to do so but he won’t.

          He’s going to act all goody-too-shoes, like he’s above that. Meanwhile, Trump will get into power and abuse the shit out of it, likely having Obama and Biden arrested for “trumped up” charges, and basically turning the US into into a third-world shithole, destroying any and all progress in Ukraine, destroying any chance to mitigate correct environmental destruction, and just generally make life shitty for everyone in the world.

          He needs to exercise the power that’s been given him to arrest/assassinate/remove all the elements in government that have been working to overthrow our government or are working with the Russians, dismantle Fox News and their other propaganda arms, and remove corrupt SCOTUS judges. Then, he needs to announce he’s stepping down and call for a new election. Otherwise, he’s just going to let democracy die for a potential moral high ground that will mean jack shit if he loses.

            But at least he’ll have given his all!

        The only thing accurate about your statement are the first three words. It doesn’t matter. America appoints Kings to the supreme Court for the rest of their lives.

        They also elect people who maintain the status quo.

        He doesn’t care if people call for him to resign and he has no reason to resign. Morals and ethics don’t factor into this for him. They never have it. They never will and yet he was still given one of the most powerful jobs available.

      Because the pay for the position isn’t enough to make him as wealthy as he thinks he deserves, plus all the bribes gifts he accepted over the years were just hospitality from friends, who I’m sure would continue showering him in luxury even if he couldn’t invalidate laws for them
