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.

    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?

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

    This whole country is ridiculous.

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

      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.

        And by extension, setting precedent on repealing laws based on procedural nitpicks rather than substance, meaning a LOT more laws might be up for debate.

      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.

      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.

      Take the /s out of your statement. If we can get ICE to be distracted with this, they won’t be worried about humans.

      And I’m ok with that.
