    I’ve never understood why people get upset over autopen.

    Like - the signature doesn’t really matter, it’s just a formality showing that the president accepts the bill and makes it law. It could be a checkbox.

    “I can forgive someone being a 34 times convicted felon, a grifting conman, a toddler brained schoolyard bully who shits themselves, a proven and convicted rapist, an obvious racist, a person with well over 20 different court cases about sexual assault, a very verrrrry failed ‘business’ man, a person who raped his wife Ivana when his hair transplant went wrong, a russian agent and traitor, a person who cheats at golf, a treasonous thief of top secret documents, a daughter lusting pervert, a person who was Epsteins best friend, a pussy grabbing letch, a multi times bankrupted imbecile, an ‘alleged ;⁠-⁠);⁠-⁠)’ violent gang rapist of a 13 year old youngster, a paedo who ogles undressed young girls in competitions at his hotel …but, BUT there is one thing I will not and can not forgive and that is using an autopen!!! The horror! Th…the, frankly, the communism of it! It just will not stand!!”

    People need to realize that showing Republican hypocrisy doesn’t work. Their voters don’t see it as a flaw, they see it as shrewd strategy.

    Liberals see news like this and think “we got him, we showed he’s not trustworthy”

    Republicans see it and think “attacking democrats for doing something and then doing it himself? what a clever boy!”

      I think it’s to do with Donald being proud of signing stuff himself and getting a semi erect mushroomoid willy from it.

      The republican party then hurries to gobble down on him like the hawk tua girl.

        No its almost certainly projection. DJT has admitted that he uses auto pen from time to time and probably doesn’t remember a few things he signed.
