The issue is going to be whether Biden actually “signed” the orders.


Then we can trot Dementia joe out, and ask him, individually about each signature and why he did, or did not sign them.

The stationery utilized is the least concerning aspect of this story.

No one is asking him to have used the FauxTUS paper stock. At the time and now, it serves as a gigantic breadcrumb as to the fact that something is off in a big way about the whole story.

This is doubly so when viewed through the lens of the discovery that all of the Autopen signatures bear the same signature, despite anecdotal accounts in this very thread attesting to it requiring renewal of the signature after brief periods of time.

Even if it only required a new signature entry once a year, you should have 4 distinct samples that are indicative of each year of the illegitimate criminal regime, yet the Heritage Oversight group research indicates they're the same across the entire FauxTUS term.

I saw an interview earlier with Judge Joe Brown and he basically shot it down, made sense what he said. Fast forward to 21:25. Youtube

Eta I see your question was more to autopen but I think what the judge said means its not going anywhere anyway.

I cannot imagine a pardon or an executive order wouldn't have to be wet and notarized (minimum)

The allegations are he didn't know this due to...incompetency.


Which allegations? Are you saying this is the sum total if allegations?

It seems like you want to define the argument to be specific to incompetency. Many smart people, right or wrong, think the power of the presidency was usurped by his administration.

And you're kind of making that argument here.


I’m not. I’m suggesting he doesn’t know because he wasn’t involved.

These things are public. How wouldn't he know once they were done?

And, thus, we seem to be drifting back into the "incompetency" argument.

Shut up, fggot.

OP, in many cases, yes. however, it is illegal as hell to take the signature of some incapacitated, doddering old fool and sign his name to a bunch of stuff.

Hope that clears it up for ya.

Either incompetent or negligent to the fact that his handlers were signing EO's with or without his approval. Either way, laws were broken it appears.

Way too early to talk about this, especially with the whole Constitutional issue looming.

Like I was discussing with BBonds yesterday, the way we analyze laws with normal people aren't likely specifically applicable here. This is a Constitutional question with a discussion about the requirements of actions by an office, not specifically a person.

The best comp I've thought of so far is the criminal immunity the USSC granted the President (without textual support, mind you). As long as the President is acting within his duties, he's immune from any prosecution. We cannot apply the criminals laws to the office as we would the person (outside of the office).

Outside of the incompetency, if this hypothetical occurred where a staffer went rogue and signed documents that weren't the will of the office, Biden had recourse while in his role as the President to correct these rogue actions. Outside of that reversal, it's hard to argue the will of the office was not done. That's why that argument is difficult to make that the incompetency becomes the focus.

For once, I agree with you. Not sure how you would ever prove any of this other than claiming incompetency. I do believe that someone else was calling the shots and signing the EO's. Does not matter what I believe unfortunately.

You love to move the goalposts.

Who said he didn't know once they were done? Did I say that?

I see you added a "once they were done" qualifier

So if he knows, what's the big deal, exactly? The will of the office was done (see above post).

I have never encountered so many SFP & Hank postings in one thread.

Kudos I guess…
