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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I am not sure who is running Bidens campaign, but if it were MY job to make him look better I would stop having him WALK out to talk!
Give speeches from the oval office desk.
He STILL CAN READ A TELEPROMPTER VERY WELL.
...unless they are old and feeble, then, we don't bother to apply the law....
“There are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law,” Biden said.
If this were true, Biden would be sitting in a federal prison cell.
A responsible country would have already prevailed upon the leaders of his party to go tell him it’s over.
HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN’T KNOW HISTORY.
Many ‘kings’ have been tried, imprisoned or executed..................
In one of these recent speeches he read “End of Quote” off the Teleprompter again at the conclusion of the speech.
Yes, he can read the Teleprompter verbatim.
I am surprised Dr Jill did not congratulate him. Great job Joey, you read EVERY word.
Man, oh man. “I know how to tell the truth,”. Really? ....Canibals ate my uncle...My son died in Iraq...The borders are secure...Bidenomics is working...I have never been involved in my son’s business dealings...My house burned down... inflation was at 9% during Trump’s presidency.... Jeez, he’s not even good at lying.
...there’s that telling phrase again... “Our Democracy”.
He still has that look on his face like he’s about to take a s__t in his diaper.
Hey my friend, when your adversary is floundering and you know why.....you NEVER bring it to thier attention. 🤫
It has become a cliché......................
lol I honestly thought about that before typing it, but then... who the hell reads anything I type on the internet :)
“I know how to tell the truth,”...............that’s a lie.........😎
“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 problem is that as a younger man, Biden was as dumb as a box of rocks, not to mention that he was also a corrupt pervert.
Use your power to put your rival in jail.
“HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN’T KNOW HISTORY.”
Nor does he know the Constitution, which says that an official can be impeached for treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Remember when Bill Clinton was in office and some fans of his asked “Boxers or Briefs?” In reference to underwear.
President Trump could ask: “Boxers, Breifs or Pampers”?
