The news every day this week has been Previews From Hell. We are in for four years of sick, macabre practical jokes, perpetrated on a national scale by an administration composed entirely of the twerpiest dorks from your junior high school, who are still seething that nobody thought it was funny when they set that elderly lady’s cat on fire and then cackled madly while she and the poor, desperate flaming cat ran around their yard screaming. I have questions:
1. What constructive use is Joe Biden making of his new king-like immunity powers? He should be making maximum use, right? If he is not, why not, and how do we activate him, ASAP?
2. How can we (even secular humanists like me) construct a national groundswell to advertise and demonstrate the teachings of Jesus to a. Do the good that the incoming Fake Christians will aggressively *not* be doing, and b. Rub their noses in it publicly on a daily basis?
3. Now that He Who Must Not Be Named is the Incoming, does anybody have a clue how we can reanimate Harry Potter?
But like, how exactly? They have already ruled that the President has blanket immunity for all actions taken in his official capacity. As historian and anti-totalitarian Timothy Snyder says, the first rule of resistance is Do Not Obey in Advance. Biden should fearlessly exercise his new near-total immunity, to take any and all actions that will protect the rights, laws, people, and environment we hold dear, in ways that it would be hard for the Trumpists to undo. He has the presidential pardon power. Great! He should issue a blanket pardon for all the Dreamers, so that they can never be charged with illegally entering the country. That's the only one I can think of right now, but there must be other powers he could exercise in very useful ways. He definitely should *not* be worrying about whether the Supreme Court will come after him on some specious grounds. That would constitute Biden obeying in advance. Don't do it.
As I understand it, the SC reserved the right to pass on all presidential actions so Joe has no carte blanche. If anybody knows different, scream it from the rooftops

SC would chop Biden off at the knees
