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.

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

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

    This whole country is ridiculous.

        He also got caught auto penning executive orders and they quickly took them back and had someone sign them so they weren’t all identical.

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

            https://www.npr.org/2025/03/17/nx-s1-5330709/autopen-biden-pardon-void

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

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

      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.

      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.

    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.
