President Joe Biden made his first major appearance since his panic-inspiring debate performance Monday to give brief remarks on the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision that was released earlier in the day.
Biden spoke for five minutes, from a teleprompter, on the court finding that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” taken in office. After Biden criticized the decision, calling it a “dangerous precedent,” he quickly left without taking a single question as reporters shouted inquiries his way.
“Mr. President, will you drop out of the race?” one reporter can be heard shouting. Another seemingly asked how he can assure Democrats that he is the best man to defeat former President Donald Trump.
“There are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law,” Biden said. “No one, no one is above the law, not even the President of the United States.”
“With today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed, for all, for all practical purposes, today’s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the president can do,” he continued. “This is a fundamentally new principle, and it’s a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States — the only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone.”
Biden’s Monday speech was his first major appearance since scores of Democrats began calling for him to drop out of the presidential race. The calls began just thirty minutes after Biden took the debate stage last Thursday night and began stumbling over answers and sounding confused.
As the Biden campaign did damage control, the president appeared at campaign events over the weekend and briefly addressed his debate performance to donors.
“I know I’m not a young man. I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak 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,” Biden said at a North Carolina rally on Friday.
The president later admitted at a Saturday rally that he knew it wasn’t his best debate and understood the “concern.”
Biden and his family gathered at Camp David over the weekend to reportedly discuss his presidential bid. After the weekend, “the entire family is united” and the president’s son, Hunter Biden, is pushing the hardest for his dad to stay in the race, sources close to the situation told the New York Times.
“I know I will respect the limits of the presidential powers 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 today. Here’s what she said: she said ‘in every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law. With fear for our democracy, I dissent.’ End of quote. So should the American people dissent — I dissent,” Biden concluded.
Critics rushed to point out that Biden himself usurped the Supreme Court by erasing billions of dollars in student loan debt during his term despite the court ruling that he lacked the power to do so.
“The Supreme Court blocked it, but that didn’t stop me,” he once said of his loan forgiveness plans.

Our collective chant should now be GO JOE GO! 😁
In watching last Friday’s North Carolina rally, I saw that he had problems reading from a teleprompter.
Biden reminds me of the automations at Disney’s “Hall of Presidents” in the Magic Kingdom. “Robot Joe.”
Folks, it's NOT about bidEn, nor about Trump, nor about an election. We are witnessing before our very eyes the dismantling of the 'Rat party. Nothing to gloat here - when the dust settles, the GOPe is also being dismantled. Left standing? Trump, MAGA, patriots, deplorables. Restored - the Republic (note how often the word "democracy" is now in the news).
bidAn sucked at the "debate", and was coherent at this 5-minute presser so that democrats fight among themselves. All the news cycles on this are choreographed to stir controversy. bidAn family urging staying in (especially Hunter! really now). NYT saying step down. There has NEVER EVAH been a pre-convention debate among merely-presumptive nominees. The timing is precision.
This is a Controlled Demolition, plain and simple.
Good point. “No kings” was probably focus-group tested and plays well with the same public-educated demographic who believe “separation of church and state” is a verbatim quote from the Constitution.
Depends..
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE DAY HIS WORDS COME BACK TO BITE HIM IN THE BUTT..
THE MOST VISIBLE MEMBER OF A CORRUPT FAMILY SAYS NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW-—
THEN USE IT ON THEM !!!!!!
All this proved is that Biden can still read from the teleprompter, and looks better with a spray-on tan.
The affronted angry old man schtick is really getting old. I have to believe that even some of his supporters are getting sick and tired of enduring it whenever he speaks.
“End of quote”
After Biden criticized the decision, calling it a “dangerous precedent.
Things getting to close to the Obama Biden term???.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
He had to drag in Donald Trump’s name and say that as a result of the Supreme Court decision, now the people will have to judge whether someone like Trump should become president again when he will be even more emboldened this time.
“President Trump could ask: “Boxers, Briefs or Pampers”?”
Not quite.
President Trump could ask: “Boxers, Briefs?
Biden would answer “Depends”.
LOL!!!
Shuffling away again from “reporters” questions sure doesn’t instill any level of confidence that he isn’t suffering from dementia. So I guess he’s running as a demented person who “knows how to tell the truth” but doesn’t.
I am certain Biden is now getting a daily dose of stimulants so he can make it through even a five minute presentation.
“With today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed, for all, for all practical purposes, today’s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the president can do,” he continued. [That's a lie, Joe.]“This is a fundamentally new principle, [another lie, Joe]and it’s a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, [another lie, Joe] even including the Supreme Court of the United States — the only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone.”
Funny about that last phrase - you'd think a tin-pot Mussolini like Dementia Joe would be happy about all this new power he's been "granted". What's he complaining about?
