Any leader who has to sign legislation stating they have lifelong immunity from prosecution, probably needs to be prosecuted for the rest of their long life.
Or, sometimes, their artificially truncated life
I wonder what other modern politicians are doing that, or are promising to do it if they get elected?
History tells us this always works.
This law proves that he is innocent of all wrongdoing. :P
Only innocent people make laws like this.
Trump: you can DO that?
Sure! You just think it. Like how he unclassified all those documents. With His Mind.
He claims it was already done… let’s see how that plays out.
Also your opponent might just forego pretence and summarily execute you when they catch you or claim themself president and be immune to consequences and imprison you anyway.
He thought he can only do it on “day one”

Last time I checked, Hunter Biden isn’t the President, so why would we care what he thinks?

Ah, no wonder you are a former mod.
Sounds like a sign of weakness, tbh.
He’s been in power for a very long time and hasn’t needed this before.
Totally the kinda stuff you do when you’ve been well behaved
And that’s how assassination becomes a national hobby.
I mean there was this old Italian guy that tried that a few thousand years ago. I can’t remember how it ended.

With his adopted son as dictator. Not the best example.
He was also recognized as a god by the Roman state after his death as a stern lesson to all those aspiring dictators out there.
The thing about laws, is that all it needs to remove them is another law…
Also: when the law is unjust, the just break the law.
I see lynch mobs in his future. Probably not soon, but eventually.
Fuck it. I declare myself King of Belarus. Luka will hang by his balls tonight at midnight.
Where were you when Eran Morad became King of Belarus
I was on Lemmy, reading a comment by Eran Morad.
Very nice! That is a good one! /borat voice
Totally good and normal 👍
Oh well in that case I grant myself immunity as well from any future prosecution.
That was easy!
I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!!
The behind the scenes in Belarus and Russia must be going worse than anyone knows if he feels the need to do this.
Well, Belarus was already almost in a state of revolution when the russian army came to save Lukachenko. Now the russian army is kinda busy with other stuff

He knows he’s fucked up and that the writing is on the wall for him. Putin is on borrowed time and so is he.
He won’t be prosecuted in court anyway. It’s probably going to be a trial of the ratatatat-tat style like Ceaucescu’s. All this does is show how pathetic Lukashenko really is.
Isn’t this more or less admission of wrongdoings and criminal activities from his part? Like those monopoly cards to skip the jail.
Nope. No reason. Just felt like giving himself a little immunity.
As a treat.
