Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

President Trump is claiming without evidence that some of former President Joe Biden's actions are invalid because he allegedly used a machine to automate signatures on documents, which is a longstanding practice in the White House.

All US paper money is invalid because the Treasurer and Secretary of the Treasury did not actually sign in pen on each bill

Economist hate this one trick to instantly obliterate an economy.

Also, we're gonna need those Trump bucks back. Real sorry about that one but those weren't real checks.

His base do not care one single but about hypocrisy nor will their news sources ever show them this information.

blatant hypocrisy is a power move

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 4 points 5 hours ago

Every accusation trump makes is an admission

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 71 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if Trump hand-signed all of those J6 insurrectionist pardons. Maybe that should be investigated.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 20 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Starting to sound like he’s a sovcit.

Sure, you signed that law or whatever, but did you write your name in all caps and diagonally?!

[–] PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

you see it has to be a 76 degree angle on account of freedom or it doesnt count

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago

Doesn’t sound like a wet ink signature coupon of an actual person to me, brother

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 54 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

We should void every single bill you sign then since we all know you don't read anything aside from a McDonald's wrapper. And that's saying a lot.

See how stupid that sounds?

[–] termaxima@jlai.lu 24 points 18 hours ago

Actually that sounds pretty smart. We should absolutely do that !

[–] Cyclist@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

He wants to go after Biden's son.

[–] sowitzer@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Biden isn’t a threat at all anymore. And maga never cared about younger Biden or what he did. It was just for show. Getting him convicted serves zero purpose because then they couldn’t complain about it. The complaint is to get people to believe he is justified in ignoring laws, process, and courts to do what he wants. They already are doing that. It’s going to keep happening and get much worse.

[–] chaonaut@lemmy.4d2.org 2 points 4 hours ago

I think you underestimate how much of this administration is about mindless spite.

[–] 0p3r470r@lemm.ee 5 points 13 hours ago

Eh, not that I wouldn’t put it past him , but under his own logic his pardon was ok. Biden even talked about it.

[–] NimdaQA@lemmy.world 39 points 18 hours ago

Many presidents have used it

Including Trump.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 18 hours ago

This sounds a little bit like sovcit noise.

[–] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Pfft...

Pretty certain Chump used an Auto-Sharpie to sign all his J6 related pardons...

Guess those are just as invalid as the Biden J6 pardons, huh?

🤦‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️ 🤡 🖕

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 6 points 17 hours ago

Trump's presidency should be void; he didn't put his hand on the Bible
