Trump Declares Biden’s ‘Autopen’ Turkey Pardons ‘Invalid’ at Thanksgiving Ceremony
(www.mediaite.com)
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.
Ha!
Just need to declare sharpies as an invalid signing instrument and that wipes everything Trump ever did.
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.
They should be doing that anyways.
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.
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.
His signature that looks like a death-metal band logo?
That's the nicest thing I've ever heard about his signature, and those logos deserve better.

I sometimes think he's just scared of the spooky pen moving like a ghost was using it...
What the fuck is an autopen?
Opening the door to cancelling pardons.
Are you SURE you want to do this, Donald?
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.
Someone needs to Photoshop that turkey about a foot back
I can gimp it in a bit
That's what Trump said
Trump has pardoned a bunch more turkeys recently than Biden ever did.
I didn't think there were that many wealthy turkeys.
Jfc can he just shut the fuck up. One day, I just want one day
You had a whole weekend some moths ago. People though he had died.
That was a good weekend
The BEST weekend, some would say.
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.
Those turkeys must be immediately located and arrested! /s
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.

Biden still enjoying rent-free residency, I see. Cool.
Trump gave out another pardon? This guy pardons more than my deaf aunt.
It's a thanksgiving tradition to pardon a turkey, but he already pardoned Giuliani so he had to find another one
Pretty sure the turkey Trump pardoned was on the Epstein list.
Well now I'm trying to think of turkey puns that relate to epstein....

The obese pedophile rapist felon also called Pritzger 'fat'.
Secret Service had to tackle and restrain the White House head Chef who confused the Thanksgiving main dish for the President's turkey neck
What a f-ing loser lmao... this guy
I read that in Jimmy Pestos voice, talking about Bob.
Ah, who are we kidding? Jimmy Pesto is clearly a red hat with white text wearing S.O.B.
I assume you know, but Jimmy Pesto's original voice actor was fired and (too briefly) imprisoned for Jan 6. He's literally one of the traitorous turkeys Trump pardoned.
.............you just explained the joke. Good job.
Aw, thanks! 😊
"We're going back in time to the first Thanksgiving to get turkies off the menu."
This is fowl play!
Yet Trump can declassify documents by thought alone.
No! Not these Epstein files! The other ones!
