Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's an excuse. They're trying to claim the autopen was used without his knowledge and he was too senile to actually sign legislation. Which is bullshit, but the entire Republican project is built on bullshit.

Yeah - but this isn't the first time people have been pissy about it. And it hasn't only been Republicans pushing back on it. Bush II took some flak over it as well IIRC.
