    So let’s say, hypothetically.

    The president thought that people shouldn’t eat chocolate ice cream. It’s anti-american.

    And “for the good of the country” anyone who eats chocolate ice cream has to be isolated from the rest of society.

    That’s not an official act. It’s not really on the periphery of official acts.

    But because definitionally anything that, at the president’s sole discretion, is “in the best interest of the United States” is now argued as an official act.

    Biden likes vanilla ice cream.
    But he isn’t going to detain you for unamerican activities if you prefer chocolate ice cream.

    Choose freedom! Choose chocolate ice cream!
