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.”

    Some days you see this shit and wonder why you participate in a meaningless system that lets convicts be President.

    Like as naked apes on a floating rock in eternal space I gotta wake up every morning to go to work and “be a good worker” while this motherfucker breaks laws and wants to make up shit as he goes.

    Cool. No wonder I have no more motivation to be a good worker anymore.

      I wouldn’t mind a system that allowed ex felons to be elected. I very much mind one that allows a current felon to be elected. I don’t know what amount of time we should let pass but a felony shouldn’t be the end of your civil rights.

        Bad news, it’s not nearly big enough to end life on Earth, and wouldn’t even hit in North America.

        I’m rooting for the AI ending. Maybe something superior can be born out of humanity so we served some kind of purpose.

          i’m rooting for the ‘people finally stood up and did away with the sociopaths, ushering in a new utopia’ ending.

          stop being cowards making bad jokes.

            I remember when I was young and optimistic and believed this was possible. The humanity at its best ending. I honestly don’t have that kind of faith anymore and doubt I can get it back now.

                What would it matter? Would just become corrupt again in a few decades. The species is trash. It deserves to die

                    I’m sure I hate you at your rotten core too, terror ape, as I also hate myself. Hate is exactly what binds us all together. Aren’t we lovely?

                    If it’s not clear yet, I’ll spell it out for you. I’d push the button to end all human life if given the opportunity without a second thought. Again, I’m rooting for the AI.
