Ridiculous. A man who breaks laws and violates the constitution daily calling out his predecessor for using the wrong kind of pen while attempting to protect people from persecution. If there were a functioning justice system this would be dismissed out of hand.
Expecting the courts to save US democracy? How’s that been working so far?

I mean, I’m not really sure presidential pardons should even exist, but they do, and it’s a problem that Trump is trying to get around them to persecute the opposition party.
Presidential pardons most definitely should NOT exist. But also, F Trump.
Inb4 Trump starts issuing executive orders with “constitutional amendments”.
Need more riots with guns please
Man I am getting so tired of saying “I fucking told you so” to so many people.
Must feel good to be morally superiors to everyone. I bet it’ll feel good too knowing you were right when the gestapo come and take you and your family away. But hey, you sure told em! /s
Stop with the “high ground” bullshit and get out there and actively do something about it.
Fuck off dude. I’ve been going to protests for this shit for a fucking decade, and trying to inform friends and family on the nuance of this shit for about the same length of time. My sister is married to a dark-skinned Indian dude; my niece is mixed-race. I have literal skin in the game when the white supremacists come looking for undesirables.
Sounds like a sovereign citizen “where’s the wet ink signature?” kind of complaint.
It’s not a complaint. It’s a pretense and excuse to persecute people he doesn’t like.
By his logic, we could treat Trump’s pardons as ‘void and vacant’ as well.
What, are you suggesting that our virile Supreme Leader, renowned for his stamina and attention span, didn’t sign all 1,600 J6 pardons by hand?
His aren’t signed by a pen at all and could easily be fraudulent because of it. Think about it, an 8bit graphic is much easier to copy than 32bit.
after autopen controversy
There go the media again implicitly giving credence to Trump’s nonsense. There was no “autopen controversy” except Trump making this groundless assertion. They make it sound like he’s responding to a real controversy.
If this sticks, then maybe the next democrat in office can reverse all of the Jan 6 pardons?
That is wishful thinking. The democrats have never responded in kind to republicans breaking precedent. If there’s any lesson to be learned from the 2024 election, it is that democrats hold “precedent”, “decorum”, and “mature pragmatism” to be more important than winning (or quelling fascism).
It’s the same wishful thinking as people who were saying “Biden could use the new presidential inmunity SCOTUS ruling to legally assassinate trump!”
Understand that both democrats and republicans are driving us off a cliff.
Yep - I’m not going to hold my breath to see those people held accountable.
In fact, every law that wasn’t written by hand with an ink-dipped quill is illegitimate! The magic spells won’t work if we don’t follow the rituals exactly.
They’ve been signaling this for a week on r/conservative
If they want to disqualify for being mentally incompetent, then all of Trump’s and at least half of Regan’s terms are also void.
I also love that dipshit who still can’t even admit that Biden won the election.
You can keep pretending things go back to the way they were after trump. I’ve given up on that illusion. Do yourself a favor and realize now that trump will not freely cede power.
I said elsewhere on this post that this is a pretty clear indication he doesn’t expect there to ever be another president
Making it even more clear that he never expects there to be another president.
He’s also trying to draw attention away from the illegal deportations they did over the weekend.
Something here is “void and vacant” to be sure, but it isn’t Biden’s pardons.
[Trump wrote] “The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden.”
“Not explained to.”
Dipshit is really telling on himself here that actually reading an EO didn’t even occur to him, he relies on others to dumb them down for him.
Last week, the group challenged the legitimacy of the orders signed by Biden claiming that an “autopen signature” was used across almost “every document” it could find.
However, a Fox News examination of President Donald Trump’s executive orders during his first and second administrations found “the signatures were also the same.” Twenty-five of Trump’s signatures on the Federal Register’s website from across both terms also found signature matched, according to a separate analysis by the Daily Mail.
The king declares…
