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.”

    I wouldn’t mind a system that allowed ex felons to be elected. I very much mind one that allows a current felon to be elected. I don’t know what amount of time we should let pass but a felony shouldn’t be the end of your civil rights.
