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.

    Opening the door to cancelling pardons.

    Are you SURE you want to do this, Donald?

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

      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.

      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.

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

    This whole country is ridiculous.

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

    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.
