Honestly, the only news I want to see are the headline and pictures of his death; violent or otherwise.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I bet his last words he speaks before flatlining is “Biden did this!”

Opening the door to cancelling pardons.

Are you SURE you want to do this, Donald?

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Turkey pardons, where every year the President saves two turkeys from being killed and eaten. These do not open the door to anything.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Who's to say trump doesn't declair Biden as his family a bunch of jive busta turkeys?

You can't keep thinking in the old ways where things need to be legal or make sense for the GOP to blindly follow.

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”?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 70 points 4 days ago (7 children)

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 19 points 3 days ago

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

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.

[–] pilferjinx@piefed.social 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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.

What the fuck is an autopen?

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

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

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

This whole country is ridiculous.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

All part of the political circus.

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?

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It genuinely sounds so absurd that I'm starting to think that he maybe made a joke

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He was absolutely making a joke. The problem is he's the one person that cannot land it. Its like if trump said "sounds like this guy tried to fuck a child beauty queen".

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 46 points 3 days ago

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.

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

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

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

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Aaahhh Cheeto, you always know how to ruin every even bby starting to bitch about Biden.

I am so happy that I do not live in your head, it must be so sad, so full of hate and anger.

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

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