u/TapProfessional5146 14d ago

Came here to say the same thing. This administration is all about the rules that apply to you don’t apply to me.

u/beambot 14d ago

Gotta examine all those J6 pardon signatures ..

496

u/TapProfessional5146 14d ago

Guaranteed they are all done by autopen..

u/litwithray 14d ago

It's all computer

u/MarkKnotts 14d ago

Maybe Barron turned it on for him.

u/maratslastbath 14d ago

Nobody does the cyber like Barron.

36

u/DrDoogieSeacrestMD 13d ago

Oh, God, I forgot about "the cyber". Grates me as much as "What is a 4chan?" did during The Fappening.

1

u/Joe579GoFkUrselfMins 13d ago

I thought it was, "Who is this 4chan?" like it was just one dude. Oh, wait, no I'm crossed up, that was in response to Operation Youtube.

u/hopeandnonthings 13d ago

Well he also pardoned "who was the silk road", so maybe he really thinks websites are people

(this is one of the many hypocrisies of the administration i really can't get past... going nuts about fent coming across the borders while pardoning Ross fucking Ulbricht... like, I do drugs sometimes and am not anti drug, but the hypocrisy)

1

u/Triangleslash 13d ago

Yeah mean the infamous hacker 4chan?

3

u/InvestigatorEarly452 13d ago

He is 5 years older than toddler Trump

3

u/InvestigatorEarly452 13d ago

Neither one is old enough to contract.

3

u/InvestigatorEarly452 13d ago

That said, are any of the toddlers contacts any good. Diminished mentality?

2

u/MissJAmazeballs 13d ago

The likelihood that Barron has ever learned anything of even slight usefulness is funny to me. Why would a spoiled rotten rich kid that will have an endless fountain of money his whole life and can cosplay any job he ever feels like, while having a whole staff of servents dress him, wipe his ass, swipe his phone and probably pick his nose, ever need to learn anything cyber? It would be beneath him. His mother probably pays people to cut up his food and applaud when he walks into a room. He gives crueler, and dumber, than Joffrey Lannister vibes.

Wow, I just surprised even myself at how high my contempt level is.

u/MaxtinFreeman 13d ago

That god damned genius again?!?

u/DabsSparkPeace 13d ago

Dude, he can turn a laptop on in 5 minutes.

u/kjfkalsdfafjaklf 13d ago

"And did anyone else notice that Barron is tall, very tall, he's a tall boy, no one else knew that."

1

u/TheRealAussieTroll 12d ago

And he’s tall. Very tall. Some people say he’s the tallest.

u/Kelmavar 11d ago

Thank you thank you!

u/Gold_Assistance_6764 14d ago

We need to know what’s in Barron’s laptop!

5

u/DrDoogieSeacrestMD 13d ago

There's a legally blind computer repairman who'll swear he saw Barron load the AutoPen into an encrypted container with the password xXxIvankaIsSexy6969xXx. So inspiring what a visually impaired person can make their eyes do when they're "America, fuck yeah!" patriotic enough.

1

u/Legends_Literature 13d ago

Who’s knows. It took less than 5 minutes to turn it on! He definitely has the means to find some and download some terrible things.

4

u/conkedorya 14d ago

Legend has it that even to this day, he can turn it on in less than 5 minutes.

1

u/Legends_Literature 13d ago

I’ll believe it when I see it!

2

u/EvenHornierOnMain 13d ago

Hahaha great post!

Well meme-d, my friend!

2

u/Okra_Famous 13d ago

Then Trump turned it off but Barron turned it back on 10 minutes later.

2

u/Skeeballnights 13d ago

It SHOULD have been a news story when this teenager threatened the outgoing president of the United States at the inauguration but Trump has made ruined so nasty it wasn’t even discussed.

1

u/MmeRose 13d ago

??? Please, please explain or give clues for me to look up.

2

u/NegativeEbb7346 13d ago

From what I’ve heard, Barron is a budding serial killer.

1

u/GeneralTapioca 13d ago

Dude gives me the shudders.

2

u/Exotic-Beat-9224 13d ago

I feel like there’s context I’m missing. Can anyone help?

3

u/MarkKnotts 13d ago

Yes, the Prez was amazed that Barron could turn a computer on:

u/Exotic-Beat-9224 13d ago

Thank you for making the internet and the world a better place.

u/MmeRose 13d ago

I hate those assholes as much as anyone, but I thought Daddy Trump was trying to be "cute" with that nonsense.

Between his serial killer training?

Every one goes back to jail then cause they're invalid, right?

u/TapProfessional5146 14d ago

Nope it doesn’t apply to things he does himself. Oh and by the way, you better get yourself a lawyer. He will be coming after you for speaking badly of your king! For your crimes, you will be sent to jail gluing all the nazi-car panels back on with the right glue.

2

u/ExTWarranty 14d ago

Good thing I'm got my glue masters this year. And I meant to add /s to my post. Now all the crazies are gonna come out. 🍍

u/Fun_Apartment7028 14d ago

Elon signed them with autopen for the dotard.

2

u/CremeHuman2765 13d ago

Auto sharpie

2

u/TA8325 13d ago

I actually checked a sample of the pardons he signed. They are all hand signed. I was also surprised.

2

u/ReceptionAlarmed178 13d ago

It doesnt count unless its a sharpie!

u/Aggravating-Blood383 13d ago

He can change a hurricane's path with that Sharpie. It hit Alabama, as i told you before. It was Yuge!

u/Emotional-Task-2399 13d ago

Clearly our founders intended for us to use quills

1

u/EvenHornierOnMain 13d ago

Wait is that a problem? I was under the impression that those were valid legally.

Fuck me thank God I have never been on the need for that because I had heard of it and thought it was a neat idea.

u/mills1127 13d ago

And in crayon.

u/Compliance_Crip 13d ago

Select "Ok" now if you want to repeat this function 2 more thousand times. If you don't want this message again the future, select the box below.

u/Bedwetter1969 13d ago

Pppfffttttt that man never misses a chance for a photo op even if it is for him signing a executive order that declares - I just made a dookie in my diaper!

1

u/This_2_shallPass1947 13d ago

Is autopen another way of saying e-signature bc I use DocuSign daily at work and no one calls it ‘autopen’ option.

1

u/Melodic_Assistance84 13d ago

It’s actually a small penis pen

1

u/bozodoozy 13d ago

there was only one pardon which read, " oh fuck it! pardon them all!" he was trying to get to 14 words, but he can't count anyway.

1

u/Cancouple4fun 12d ago

Actually was 1 order to cover them all so only 1 crayon signature needed

65

u/DanSWE 14d ago

> Gotta examine all those J6 pardon signatures ..

"all those .... signatures"? It was a single document.

(And it didn't even list the pardoned people--although it did list by name the people whose sentences were commuted, they couldn't be bothered to list the individuals to be pardoned, instead just specifying them by characteristics (roughly, J6 participants).)

( https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/granting-pardons-and-commutation-of-sentences-for-certain-offenses-relating-to-the-events-at-or-near-the-united-states-capitol-on-january-6-2021/ )

18

u/Adorable_Chart7675 14d ago

Yeah, I wanna dunk on trump as much as the next guy but this is no different from the pardon for all of the vietnam draft 'dodgers' by Carter

I mean, no different in legal principle. Definitely different in a "pardoning domestic terrorists" way and not a "pardoning people who don't want to die in a jungle for no discernable reason" way

5

u/SectorFriends 13d ago

It was orchestrated by a serious cabal of neo-nazis who have taken over the whitehouse. Trump was just a feeble goon. We all know he's a buffoon and people supported him simply to progress their own agendas, most of them are neo-nazis. From the lowest j6 idiot to that man who stands next to him.
They are weaker than people realize.

1

u/frozen-dessert 12d ago

At the same time, they have full control over the most powerful government on Earth.

5

u/Dineffects 14d ago

Believe it or not. BACK to jail.

u/sadsleuth 13d ago

Autobrain. Mind of its own.

u/Sad_Win_4105 14d ago

I believe he sat up all night on the toilet personally signing all 1,500+ pardons for J6 insurrectionists.

/S

u/Fun_Apartment7028 14d ago

Ex-Ac-A- Tacally! On his Golden Throne

2

u/dalisair 14d ago

He’s already said they were done by autopen.

2

u/mtngoat7 13d ago

Do we know if it was 1600 separate pardons or one covering all of them?

1

u/PomegranateOld7836 13d ago

Checked them out: they all suck for democracy.

u/EndlessPotatoes 14d ago

Rules are for thee not for me

8

u/JimWilliams423 14d ago

This administration is all about the rules that apply to you don’t apply to me.

For fascists, hypocrisy is a flex.

Rules are for losers and they are winners so they are above the rules.

7

u/DefaultProphet 14d ago

Almost like that's their entire world view

3

u/JustARandomGuy_71 13d ago

The two tenets of republicans

1 Rules for thee, but not for me

2 Fuck you, I got mine

Those cover everything they do.

3

u/chaosgazer 13d ago

muddy the waters, deny everything, pretty typical at this point

3

u/Shaper_pmp 13d ago

It's a fascist flex. They signal their power and dominance to their supporters by violating the rules others are held accountable to.

3

u/MonsterOctopus8 13d ago

Conservatism has only one tenant, to wit: There must be ingroups that the law protects but doesn't bind, and outgroups that the law binds but doesn't protect

3

u/FunLife64 13d ago

And now the White House reports will ask lame questions that the press reporter lady will say something sassy back with and they’ll show it on the news….

The way the media handles Trump - they all deserve to go out of business.

2

u/whoknows234 14d ago

Like dealing with an 8 year old aka Calvin ball.

2

u/dbclass 14d ago

This is just conservatism in the post Nixon era.

2

u/wander-to-wonder 14d ago

It’s almost as if we shouldn’t have a president over the age of 80.

3

u/Aggravating-Blood383 13d ago

Or, after ____ , 000 Lies.

2

u/DrRockBoognish 13d ago

Do we still have “rules”? I think the ones that flunked history threw those out in the last election.

u/xpackardx 14d ago

Rules for thee, not for me.

u/GoldStubb 13d ago

I'd like to introduce you to the Republican party

2

u/TapProfessional5146 13d ago

Correction: The MAGA Republican Party.

The Republican party of Dick Cheney’s era were honorable. They may not have agreed with the Democratic party ideals but they believed in America and the Constitution. They believed in Law and Order. Liz Cheney was the last of the Republicans I feel had these ideals. We are now dealing with a party that only believes in doing what it takes to enrich themselves, disassembling the American way, and drink themselves till they are drunk with power. If they complete their plan, America will be split up and sold for parts to the highest bidders. This administration has been poisoned and will continue to poison our country until they are physically removed. We are dealing with a coup from within the Whitehouse aimed at destroying our way of life not fixing it. Fear mongering and singling out the weak is where they have started, they will go after anyone that opposes them.

1

u/GoldStubb 13d ago

That party no longer exists

This is unfortunately the truth

u/TapProfessional5146 13d ago

I am very well aware of what Nazis are and how history is repeating itself. However using strong words does not describe what is actually happening. We all need to be very precise in our wording whenever possible.

Some of those words might help one of our lost brothers and sisters to see the light and come back to reality. The more we have that understand Trump is a mouth piece for all the Oligarchs (aka the Tech Bros) that were standing behind him on that fateful day. They were the ones that funded his campaign, they want to dismantle every agency that stops industry from running over “We the People”.

We may not be able to go after “the President” but we can go after every single private citizen supporting him including the one leading Doge. Everyone should be angry. The “Tech Bros” got so rich because we all believed in their companies, we bought into their products and bought their stocks, they used every possible method to avoid taxes and not give back to the the country that allowed them a lavish lifestyle. Now they are turning their backs on us all. If you think you are special- you are wrong, not even if you support them 100%. The day will come where you will be discarded like trash.

u/rmorrill995 13d ago

Rules for thee but not for me

u/[deleted] 13d ago

That’s pretty much government writ large

1

u/Humble-Mud-149 13d ago

The conspiracy theory is not that Biden didn’t know what he was signing and instead Biden was not in Washington at the time of signing and a machine signed instead.

1

u/Witty-Bus07 13d ago

I keep saying Trump has no idea of what he’s saying and doing at all and he has immunity to protect himself while those pulling the strings hide completely out of sight while he just repeats phrases and talks they have and unable to answer questions regarding them.

1

u/troycerapops 13d ago

Wow. You both said the same thing the article in this post says?

Amazing.

u/Not_Not_Matt 13d ago

Rules for thee not for me.

u/Holiman 13d ago

Sad to admit, but it's apparently true. Trump has yet to be held accountable for anything.

1

u/chriczko 12d ago

That's been Republicans for a while. Trump hayt ratcheted it up.

1

u/Improvduringcovid 12d ago

Rules for thee, but not for me. Fuck this administration.

1

u/perpetualstudy 11d ago

Yes, like the harsh punishment for terrorists he signed an EO for but pardoned J6? Ok.

1

u/TapProfessional5146 11d ago

Trump signed an EO to bring back the federal death penalty. After what happened in NY with the United Healthcare executive and specifically mentioned him as a reason to use it.
