Trump Claims In Middle-Of-The-Night Meltdown That Biden's Pardons Are 'VOID'
www.huffpost.com
The president sent a chilling warning to people pardoned by former President Joe Biden.

Summary

Trump declared Biden’s pardons “VOID” in a late-night Truth Social post, claiming they were signed by autopen without Biden’s knowledge—despite Trump having used autopen during his first term.

Trump warned pardoned individuals, including January 6th committee members (who weren’t charged with crimes), that they’re “subject to investigation at the highest level.”

Critics characterized his statements as “dictator shit” and questioned their legality, with one commenting this represents “the 17th constitutional crisis of just this weekend alone.”

      There were very few attempts on Hitler’s life and he directly killed millions of people. Trump will indirectly kill millions and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are no more attempts on his life.

        If ≥42 is ‘very few’, what do you consider to be a normal number of assassination attempts?

        They are mostly foreigners. Until the next pandemic hits, trumps cuts probably hit the world’s most impoverished, most oppressed people the hardest. It shouldn’t make a difference that they’re not Americans since people are people, but it does.

        I imagine it’s the same as with hitler. It’s not just the inherent racism, but it’s harder to care as much about people the farther they are geographically or culturally or nationality.

        I’m not trying to encourage this but I think it’s realistic

      End? Hah, if you killed him he’d be a martyr and his successor Great Leader Vance would run a more competent fascist operation.

        Vance has an old school polotician side. If left to himself, he wouldn’t go against the courts for example. He is just willing to say what trump wants him to say.

          Vance has an old school polotician side. If left to himself, he wouldn’t go against the courts for example.

          Don’t be so sure about that.

          “I think that what Trump should, like, if I was giving him one piece of advice, [is] fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state,” he said in 2021 on a podcast. “Replace them with our people. And when the courts — because you will get taken to court — and when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

          Now, Vance doesn’t have the iron grip on 33% of the country that Trump has, so it’s possible that he’d have to be more cautious. But he’s definitely not against ignoring the courts in principle.

        Vance is incompetent and slimey. Trump is only getting away with this shit because 45%ish of Americans find him sophmorically funny.

        He and Elon are simply too dangerous and if America wants to continue being a country both of them need very public lessons to discourage copycats.
