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

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

nothing like useless complaints from a grandpa

Lemme tell you what’s wrong with your generation.

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

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

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

[–] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

They're being pardoned from being eaten

Yes it's silly but sometimes silly is good

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 21 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 1 day ago

All part of the political circus.

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

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

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day 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.

[–] 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 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

He was absolutely making a joke. The problem is he's the one person that cannot land it. Its like if trump said "sounds like this guy tried to fuck a child beauty queen".

[–] Skarklette@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day 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 1 day ago (2 children)

I think you’re a turkey.

Of course cock sucking is completely valid uwu

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day 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.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 114 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Opening the door to cancelling pardons.

Are you SURE you want to do this, Donald?

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Turkey pardons, where every year the President saves two turkeys from being killed and eaten. These do not open the door to anything.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

Someone needs to Photoshop that turkey about a foot back

Please inform me what that would accomplish?

What is his obsession with “auto pen”?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 69 points 2 days ago (6 children)

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.

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.

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.

[–] 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 1 day 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.

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

Trump has pardoned a bunch more turkeys recently than Biden ever did.
