Trump Says Biden Autopen Actions Are Illegal, Calls For Arrests
(dallasexpress.com)
Trump is a pedophile.
Trump is a mentally ill pedophile.
Oh? Does he really want to set a legal precedent that a sitting president can undo the pardons of prior presidents?
Perhaps he's on to something! 🤣
Take a moment to consider why he's not concerned about a next president.
His attention span isn't that long.
The guy's been screaming his intent for years now and y'all are still convinced he doesn't mean it.
It doesn't matter if he means it.
Depends, will anyone actually do anything if he does?
So far, the answer has been mostly "nope".
Then you haven't been paying attention. Almost everything he's been trying to do that is actually against the law, has been blocked in court.
And if you're one of those folks thinking that he could at some point just invoke the Insurrection Act and use the military to take over...then you should know that the majority of the generals in the military would not follow those orders, unless there was a clear and obvious threat to the nation.
There would be no "Order 66" moment...only the beginning of a "civil war" within the military, that would most likely result in a stalemate due to officers simply refusing to order their troops to fire on their own people.
This trust the process stuff is just copium. The fact george bush wasn't prosecuted for WMDs and Reagan wasn't prosecuted for Iran Contra are the original sins here. Unless Bush gets prosecuted we can't even begin to fix the problems trump created because they are all downstream.
You're trying to dam a river at the delta where it meets the sea. Threaten to prosecute bush though and you pave the path for prosecuting trump and fox news and all these billionaire media owners.
That's basically why the Supreme Court ruled that Presidents have some degree of immunity from prosecution. It wasn't just about shielding Trump from prosecution...it was also about retroactively pardoning all the previous presidents for their own individual "crimes", while in office.
The precedent was set after Nixon. Their ruling just legitimized all that previous lack of accountability.
But, in Trump's case...not a lot that he does is in the service of the country. Most of it, is entirely self-serving...and that can be prosecuted.
Hopefully his life span isn't either.
He doesn't intend for there to be any other sitting presidents after him. At least not before he's dead.
Let's get to that "after"
...says the guy who doesn't even know what half the people he's pardoned were even in prison for.
If biden get arrested. Trump would be next
The Nazis losing round one doesn’t guarantee they’ll lose round two. I worry they’ve learned from their mistakes while the opposition hasn’t.
Trump, the Supreme Court said otherwise regarding the presidency to save your ass, you fucking dipshit.
I thought the POTUS couldn’t break the law? Or does that go out the window once they’re not sitting? Does Trump really want to set THAT precedent?
When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.
Obviously not retroactive to before Trump!
Or after... or in-between trump 1 and 2.
I believe Nixon had said that.
Yup. And at that time, we never found out if it was true or not. Since then, Republicans have been tirelessly working to ensure it is. And now we see the fruits of their labor: a Republican president as king.
Often I imagine had Carter elected to move on a Nixon conviction if we would be where we are now. I don’t think we would. Holding power to account doesn’t seem to be an American or Democratic thing to do. When it is, I believe we may have more geopolitical standing in accountability and Democracy. Until we walk the talk we seem to be a cesspool of quacking ducks.
Don't presidents have immunity?
Only if it was an official act. To determine whether an act was official is easy, just refer to this chart:
- Trump: Yes, it was an official act.
- Someone else: No, it wasn't.
Yeah it’s pretty apparent that whoever is in charge gets to decide what’s official and what isn’t. Miller himself even confirmed might makes right.
white house breaks the law daily... can we get some arrests there?
I'm sure the DOJ lawyers will get right on that after they finish burning the remaining epstein files.
A precedent was set in 2005 that stated the president "need not personally perform the physical act of affixing his signature to a bill" and may direct a subordinate to use an autopen, as long as the president has approved and decided to sign it
Trump used an autopen all the time in his first failure of a presidency.
One month past the Epstein files release date. Still finding media disctractions.
He is only concerned over illegal actions by Democrats, the poors, and brown people. Everyone else gets congratulations.
Somebody doesn't know how to work the auto pen
He's actually auto-penned a bunch of stuff during both presidencies.
Auto sharpie.
Autopen his ass. Sue every still living president and their staff then. This guy is an imbecile.
