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 declare Trump’s presidency void. He isn’t obeying laws; he’s no longer a legitimate president. He is a dictator. And a hypocrite any time he enforces laws of any kind.

    To clarify, I think someone who has broken laws CAN enforce them without being a hypocrite, but only if they have taken accountability for the laws they have broken.

    Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll go through with his denuclearization plan and that will finally be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and the military will take him out.

    How depressing that our best case scenario is a military coup.

    I had this in my office Fantasy Dictator Pool: before end of March, POTUS will attempt to undo Biden’s pre-emptive pardons.

    But I sincerely hope my other predictions DON’T come true. They’re much darker.

        Do one with his campaign promises, and revel in the awkwardness as no one ever wins. Plus, it will give everyone personal reasons to fact check him every time someone does claim it.

      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 we get through this presidency, and that’s a big if, then we’ve got a fascist infestation and their enablers in congress that we’re going to need to take care of.
