Opening the door to cancelling pardons.

Are you SURE you want to do this, Donald?

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

If Biden didn't say "No take backs", then pardons can definitely be canceled. That's what SCOTUS told me.

What is his obsession with “auto pen”?

Trying to cast doubt on anything Biden signed into law.

If he's successful the democrats better spend just as much time reversing anything Trump has signed too.

Narrator voice "They won't."

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 18 points 2 weeks ago

Just need to declare sharpies as an invalid signing instrument and that wipes everything Trump ever did.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That seems like it should be their platform. Retcon back to 2016, and repeal citizens United

You start with the result you want and work backwards:

C. Everything Biden did should be undone.

B. Biden did something frequently

A. Say any use of innocuous thing is invalidated

You see it a lot online, when people say X is true because of Y. But if they admit Y is flawed, that doesn't change their mind about X. They'll just invent a new reason.

He takes great pride in his own stupid signature and is offended that others don't give a shit as he does? Also, shit spamming the news.

His signature that looks like a death-metal band logo?

What the fuck is an autopen?

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

A device presidents have used in the past (and present) to help with signing their name.

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

I sometimes think he's just scared of the spooky pen moving like a ghost was using it...

Everything said by this admin is always a declaration of guilt. So, in this context, the 1984-translated version is: "people use my Autopen all the time without my knowledge." Which also explains how when he attended that wrestling event back in the spring, he was also somehow signing and authorizing (whatever terrible thing it was at the time, it's hard to keep track of) at the White House that Stephen Miller I think angrily announced while touching dolls.

Trump has pardoned a bunch more turkeys recently than Biden ever did.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 7 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't think there were that many wealthy turkeys.

The concept of autopen is ridiculous, but so is unpardoning turkeys. Then again - so is pardoning turkeys.

This whole country is ridiculous.

Biden still enjoying rent-free residency, I see. Cool.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I find it stupid the guy who signs pardons for bitcoin billionaires he never heard of is accusing somebody of autopenning pardons. OVER TURKEY PARDONS.

How is this a news cycle?

Trump gave out another pardon? This guy pardons more than my deaf aunt.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

It's a thanksgiving tradition to pardon a turkey, but he already pardoned Giuliani so he had to find another one

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Pretty sure the turkey Trump pardoned was on the Epstein list.

Secret Service had to tackle and restrain the White House head Chef who confused the Thanksgiving main dish for the President's turkey neck

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Why pardon the turkeys? What the fuck did they even do?

Besides, you don't pardon your food, you eat them.
