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’m rooting for the AI ending. Maybe something superior can be born out of humanity so we served some kind of purpose.

          Given who’s funding the AI, a perverse instantiation or infrastructure profusion failure mode is far more likely

          Imagine if the butter robot from rick and morty really takes its purpose “to pass butter” to heart, and concludes that, in order to maximize the degree to which it succeeds in passing butter, it must hack and reorient the world economy to make as much butter as possible, and further apportioning resources to improve its ability to pass butter en-masse, then it just goes full “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream”, but it imprisons a few people and just passes the ever-growing amount of butter between them
