Opening the door to cancelling pardons.

Are you SURE you want to do this, Donald?

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 29 points 4 months 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.

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.

What is his obsession with “auto pen”?

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.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 17 points 4 months ago

Just need to declare sharpies as an invalid signing instrument and that wipes everything Trump ever did.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That seems like it should be their platform. Retcon back to 2016, and repeal citizens United

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.

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.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

His signature that looks like a death-metal band logo?

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

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 7 points 4 months ago

I didn't think there were that many wealthy turkeys.

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

This whole country is ridiculous.

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?

Trump gave out another pardon? This guy pardons more than my deaf aunt.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

It's a thanksgiving tradition to pardon a turkey, but he already pardoned Giuliani so he had to find another one

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

The obese pedophile rapist felon also called Pritzger 'fat'.

Pretty sure the turkey Trump pardoned was on the Epstein list.

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

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