I hope this really destroys the autopen not because I think that laws and such should have to be signed by hand but just because I want liberal democracy to be harder for the law makers.

Lol he's really trying to go there. I doubt they (SCOTUS) let him do it though because Biden was senile and there might be genuine argument his staffers and family were making these calls there is a chance they try and do a one-time only exemption just so Trump can be petty.

Petty for sure but I think it's more that going after the Bidens would be excellent political theater to keep people distracted while they do some really messed up Project 2025 shit. Regardless, it's a real shame that Genocide Joe is too far gone to recognize that tsunami of karma coming his way.

They revoke any document signed by autopem and suddenly all the Jan6 rioters go back to prison. lol

Because Trump personally signed every single one of the ~1500 Jan 6 pardons.

Yeah, but you're forgetting that Democrats will adhere to the "rule of law" no matter how nonsensical, but Trump doesn't give a shit and knows no one will do anything about it.

Hunter getting unpardoned was definitely not in my bingo card.
