Former President Joe Biden experienced such “cognitive decline” while in office that it remains a serious question as to whether he was aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations signed in his name via autopen, the GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee asserted in a letter it sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to consider whether that clemency might be invalid and to take action for potential prosecution against some of Biden’s aides.

The committee “deems void President Biden’s executive actions that were signed using the Autopen, and the committee determines that action by the Department of Justice is warranted to address the legal consequences of that determination,” it wrote to Bondi released Tuesday morning.

    He did do that. And the Republicans in Congress and within in the doj fucking stonewalled. This was all over the news the whole fuckin time man, did you memory hole it?

    Oh…

    The Billionaires told their employees on mainstream news to say that it wasn’t Biden’s fault?

    I do remember that… But it was bullshit.

    Just like when they kept saying Biden was perfectly healthy.

    The problem is:

    You insist that billionaires would never lie to us.

    Which is a wild take in 2025…

    Edit:

    That’s not even getting into how fast you went from:

    Imagine thinking Biden had any actual ability to do any of that

    To:

    yes he did direct an investigation.

    Which fucking is it?

    You said he can’t do it, then said he did it…

      You’re having like 9 different conversations here and it’s hurting any point you’re trying to make. You keep inserting wild statements into my mouth, and you clearly don’t understand how the federal government is supposed to and used to function. And while I appreciate any and all billionaire hate-boners, you’re too busy jerking it to have a reasonable conversation. Take a few civics courses and stop parroting Republican/Russian propaganda.

        You keep inserting wild statements into my mouth,

        I literally quoted you…

        You went from:

        Imagine thinking Biden had any actual ability to do any of that

        To:

        yes he did direct an investigation.

        In one reply…

        Which is it?

        1. Biden couldn’t do anything to direct DOJ, so he committed a crime directing the DOJ

        2. Biden didn’t direct the DOJ, because he wasn’t able to despite promising to use the DOJ to go after trump to get elected.

        Neither are correct, but those are the two options you’ve backed yourself in logically

          No, those are the two positions that your lack of reading comprehension managed to grasp. Biden legally could tell the doj to investigate something. That’s where Biden’s influence ends. The doj, famously filled with partisan Republicans and white nationalists, slow walked and ratfucked the investigation along with the courts and the Republican Congress. Holy shit you have an idiot child’s grasp of the processes and actual powers involved. You are not a serious person and I’m beginning to think you’re just a Russian psy-op. Although, you do have an average Americans fundamental lack of understanding of our own government. Gotta rein in that straw-manning though.
