President Trump declared Joe Biden's pardons for two turkeys last year were "totally invalid" because Biden used the autopen to sign their clemency papers.

    Opening the door to cancelling pardons.

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

        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.

      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.

            Artistically, it’s pretty bold. It’s got rhythm, it’s dynamic, it’s insistent in its method. It’s just that its legibility is worse than that of a Russian doctor’s cursive writing, which for me is a visual companion to James ‘Blood’ Ulmer’s ‘Timeless’. This is however fine for a death metal band logo — would work even better for grindcore.

      On the bright side, banning the auto pen means he would have to sign hundreds of pardons by hand if he needed to, and I think he’s just too lazy to do that.

    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.

            If an autopen is disqualifying e signatures certainly are since you do not even need the fairly complex and large autopen.

            Pardons don’t even need to be signed, executive orders however do and even then their legal basis is very iffy.
