Your thoughts regarding Trump are ridiculous. You and most others here (and have actually said so) really believe that if Trump is re elected he would not leave office after his term is over. Who is telling you this stuff ? I mean that you actually believe that tells me everything I need to know about you and matters regarding Trump. The only people I know who believe that suffer from TDS.

Yes, I read that part also. Obama had plenty of enemies in the Republican party; they could have brought impeachment proceedings against him but they didn't - even after he left office. Similar proceedings could've been brought against LBJ, Nixon, and G.W. Bush for wartime deceptions. Does that translate to 'immunity"? It's hard to say - depends who you ask, I guess.. Yeah. From what I've been getting from careful listening is that the SCOTUS has been avoiding the question of POTUS immunity for 30 or 40 years or more. Too big of a can of worms to open. Which I would have to agree. The push against Trump is twisting our legal system to extremes and the areas that have yet to be decided are now being forced into decisions. How this ends, I do not know. I will venture to say that no matter what decisions are made, we are all going to lose.

Do you remember when Obama took this guy out ? I said the same thing then that I did now. I said he should have been impeached for that at the very least. You can go back and search if you like. Obama assumed that he was immune. He deliberately murdered this guy without a trial or conviction. A US citizen. Shows you how little democrats value the Constitution, citizenship and why they want open borders. They do not care about this country. They only care about holding onto their power.
Vaguely, but since you were in a kerfuffle over all things Obama it didn't really stand out. Remember the whole Obama's brown skin suit thing you were all pissy about? Yeah, sort of makes the rest of your argument meaningless. See also all the other follow up here about involving congress/DOJ and being transparent about the whole thing.

Not that it matters, but Obama got DOJ and Congressional acknowledgment before killing a sworn enemy of the US, who had successfully plotted and continued to plan ways to kill Americans.
He then unsealed the documents for transparency. Here is a link to his explanation (can't imbed...CBS News won't allow it).
If he'd have blown up a plane over the US, Kurt would have complained that Obama was soft on crime, and was making us a target for terrorism. This kid was no different than a serial killer reloading his gun in the mall. If it's geography that's the problem, we should also press charges for killing Bin Laden. If a US citizen is a known, active, proven risk to others... they forfeit their rights as a citizen. Kurt...look up the definition of citizenship. Rights and privileges come with duties. Stop doing your part, and the benefits are forfeited.
Immunity to protect the country and its citizens has nothing to do with immunity for personal benefit. Suggesting Trump was doing anything concerning his role as POTUS is foolish. He was attempting to maintain power by breaking the law.

By your logic, the US shouldn't attack terrorists because there might be a US citizen in the vicinity. The arguments trump is putting forward is that he does have the right to take out Obama if he feels like it, not the other way around. Obama has never claimed presidential immunity from prosecution for crimes, unlike trump who is trying to avoid due process and a trial. Period, end of story.

Do it! File charges against him! Throw Obama in jail...right next to Trump. We can save on the Secret Service detail.

Oh, they don't have to file charges, the next republican president can just have him assassinated.
Never mind that the policy at least since Bush has been to take the war on terror abroad and there has never been an asterix that no US citizens be harmed. I mean Richard probably has objections to the policy, and it is certainly legitimate to question both the implementation of policy and the morals of any particular action, But there is no way Obama's decisions were illegal. Funny how no previous president has had to claim immunity that trump is trying to claim. Kurt's whataboutism is grasping for straws.
