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.”

    If he opens that box, then come the next president Trump might finally end up in jail. But nah! Go ahead fucker! Let’s see this get interesting. Like the new ROTC students required to wear KKK hoodies. That wouldn’t be at all sus. We know the guy is out of his mind full dementia empty skull. The world just needs that one last straw.

    And may I remind us all how happy Duterte was just a few years ago. Jailing people, murdering, etc. The guy even silenced TFC so Filipinos abroad didn’t need to bother with the stuff he was doing at home. Now he’s in jail. Not easy, pay your way out jail. This is Saddam Hussein hanging jail. The consequences for crimes against humanity need to be real. So just let us enjoy our daily rat race until we too end up in Guantanamo accidentally. Worrying about things that are coming on to others is fruitless. But we should hope that the international court at least gets putin.

      Biden had the chance to do that in 2020. He should have arrested Agent Krasnov and his henchmen on the first day of his presidency, and detained them in isolation without bail or access to the media, until their trials were resolved.

      Instead he appointed a weak Reoublican as his AG who gave hime a 2 year head start to run out the clock.

      The Dems had the perfect chance to rid ourselves of the MAGA scourge, and defend our country, and they totally abdicated their responsibility. It will be 100 times harder to take it back now, and I don’t see it happening without violence.

        Oh, wait! Saddam went to the iraki court. That’s where he was given his upside down tie to ride one last swing. I propose Duterte checks that out! A tie would look good on him.
