Honestly, the only news I want to see are the headline and pictures of his death; violent or otherwise.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

I bet his last words he speaks before flatlining is “Biden did this!”

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

nothing like useless complaints from a grandpa

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Lemme tell you what’s wrong with your generation.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 9 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Why pardon the turkeys? What the fuck did they even do?

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

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 2 points 17 hours ago

Its a silly and harmless tradition. I wasnt aware of it's existence until the movie Free Birds.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 18 hours ago

They're being pardoned from being eaten

Yes it's silly but sometimes silly is good

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

This whole country is ridiculous.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

All part of the political circus.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

He pardoned Jan 6 traitors and George Santos but he won't let a stupid bird not be slaughtered?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] reptar@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I thought it was identical signatures. As in, not an autopen, but digital copy.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] Skarklette@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

first they came for the turkeys, but I did not speak out because I was not a turkey...

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I think you’re a turkey.

[–] Skarklette@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Turkeys are such smart and beautiful creatures. They are so charismatic and loyal, too. Being called a turkey is the highest honor. They are also really fun at parties and very helpful and kind and wise.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 5 hours ago

It genuinely sounds so absurd that I'm starting to think that he maybe made a joke

[–] webp@mander.xyz 5 points 20 hours ago

Of course cock sucking is completely valid uwu

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 18 hours ago

Aaahhh Cheeto, you always know how to ruin every even bby starting to bitch about Biden.

I am so happy that I do not live in your head, it must be so sad, so full of hate and anger.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

How fucking petty is this turd?!

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Right? What else could he possibly be celebrating with that but death? "Oh, these turkeys will not escape ME!" Uh, good for you, you Machiavellian shit stain.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 114 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Opening the door to cancelling pardons.

Are you SURE you want to do this, Donald?

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

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

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.

What is his obsession with “auto pen”?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

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.

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.

Jfc can he just shut the fuck up. One day, I just want one day

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You had a whole weekend some moths ago. People though he had died.

[–] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

~~"People thought"~~

"People hoped"

What an idiot. Next thing he’ll be calling entire years invalid or some idiotic crap.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Why is this news? Stop clogging up Lemmy with this bullshit distraction from the Epstein files. Who the hell is upvoting this non-story? I'm reporting this post.

[–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

... this is Not the Onion, not a serious news community.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

I realize that but NotTheOnion is still a place for real news articles.
