Michael Moore Dares Joe Biden to Use ‘Full Immunity’ in Last 100 Days as President
Michael Moore wants President Joe Biden to leave the White House a “hero.” According to the renowned filmmaker, the president ought to take advantage of “full immunity” and pass a “bucket list” of reforms in his last 100 days in office.
“With a simple stroke or two of your presidential pen, you can make life better for millions of people in ways you never would’ve dreamed possible,” Moore wrote on his Substack on Saturday.
Referencing the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity that provided sweeping protections for “official acts” made by sitting presidents—which has created judicial over Donald Trump’s efforts to subvert the 2020 election—Moore argued that Biden can now essentially govern however he wants while he remains in office.
“Some people are now calling you a ‘lame duck’ president—but then it occurred to me today: You’re not done. You’ve still got 100 days left in office! And the Supreme Court has just granted you super powers — AND immunity!” the film director continued.
Moore detailed a series of executive actions he said Biden should take before Jan. 20, 2025, claiming that the initiatives “already have the support of the majority of the American people.”
Moore’s “Bucket List for Scranton Joe” included 13 line items such as officially declaring the Equal Rights Amendment as “the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution,” eliminating student and medical debt, banning spam text messaging, granting clemency for non-violent drug offenders, and pardoning Edward Snowden.
The Hollywood veteran also called on Biden to “free the hostages in Gaza, free the political prisoners in Israel and stop this slaughter,” warning that his presidential legacy risked being defined by ongoing violence and conflict in Israel and Palestine.
“You want to help people, Joe. That’s your legacy. That’s the real Joe Biden,” wrote Moore.

I don't know about this particular list, but I do think he should absolutely find ways to use the SCOTUS ruling in ways the SCOTUS majority was counting on him not taking advantage of, because their decision was meant to be used only by corrupt (i.e., Republican) politicians.

I fucking love this idea, and I hope President Biden does it.
He has absolutely nothing to lose!

A president can't just add an amendment to the constitution. It says so *in the constitution*.

Donald Trump WIPED HIS ASS with the Constitution from 2017-2021, R5.
And no one did a thing about it.
Not Congress or the Supreme Court.
So go fuck yourself.

President Joe Biden is never going to take actions that he knows are (or should be) illegal. With this dumb stunt, Fatso Moore is doing nothing but helping Trump. Couldn't he have waited another month to crawl out from the rock he's been under?

R5, I think r6 schooled you on this very well. The SC basically has said the president can do what he wants unless/until a court finds it unconstitutional. And I agree, once Kamala wins, Joe should go crazy.

Can Michael Moore be on Dancing with the Stars? And the Menendez twins? And Kim Guilfoyle once she realizes she has been banished from Dumpville?

Yeah, r8, I got schooled for pointing out that the constitution has very specific procedures for adding amendments. I feel so stupid now.

Also, some people don't seem to understand the SC ruling at all.

R11, you got schooled because the SC has granted the president all manners of power until the SC decides they’re unconstitutional. R5 didn’t mention amendments btw.

Read the SC ruling and come back and explain what you think it says, r13. Post r5 (me) specifically said a president can't add amendments to the constitution, so wtf are you talking about?

Biden would never do that which is why he had to go.

Looks at his plaintive cries: why does Trump lie about hurricane response. "I don't know" was Biden's answer, which means he really does not understand what an existential threat Trump is to the country and he should have locked him up in Guantanamo as an enemy combatant and foreign spy long ago.

R17, I don’t believe that. I think Biden totally understands the existential threat Dump poses. But like the rest of us, he cannot comprehend the utter despicable soul that is Dump. I don’t understand why Dump lies, because I can’t go there as a person.

Biden ran in 2020 to protect America from Trump. And he's doing the same thing by rejecting a second term (whether spontaneous or pre-planned).

Agreed.
And it's still not too late to lock the fucking BEAST TRUMP where he belongs.

He should just have the whole Dump family taken out by the military. They are a clear and present danger.
