NYT: Fauci pardon was approved at 10:30pm by WH aide Jeff Zients using the AUTOPEN signature

Are you taking the position that the New York Times is “MAGA?”
Are YOU taking the position that "The Failing New York Times" is not FAKE NEWS?

You might want to check up on that. Wouldn't want you to get in trouble with King Cheeto.

Oh, now I remember. It's only fake news when they print something Trump doesn't like.

Never mind.
 
Oh, look. A nebulous non answer.
I'm mocking republican conspiracy theories about Fauci. He was a dedicated public servant for decades. Trump couldn't manage a warm cup of coffee during covid so naturally we need to blame the guy who was trying to save lives.
 
And Mike Benz who it should be reminded would blog under the name “Frame Game” who blames a lot of stuff on the Jews.
There's a reason Republicans when asked about anti semitism always scream I LOVE ISREAL THO
 
Mind you, these are the same people who will also a SWEAR that Trump could declassify documents, etc simply by thinking they were not classified, etc.

The way the MAGas twist themselves into pretzels is quite amazing.
Good point. If Trump can declassify documents by just thinking about it, surely Biden can issue a pardon by the same magnificent power.
 
But Trump! 😂
Sure would be a shame if somehow Biden's Autopen pardons get challenged and thrown out. We would insist that all the pardoned insurrectionists also have their pardons thrown out because Trump never signed those either!

I stand corrected.

Mea culpa.

You shouldn't rush to that though, you should wait until Trump is no longer in office.
 
It's not just him. THey're all doing it now. This is how it works. They accuse the Dem of something, then they begin creating "facts' that "confirm" it all. Now the next phase is constantly referring to this as an agreed upon issue - Biden's admin illegally used autopen. It will be an article of faith now, like 2020 being stolen, covid being a hoax. Dems would be smart to ignore. Keep pounding on Epstein. There's gotta be a reason Republicans want to protect child predators.

Your post is 100% projection, and describes what the Dems, Libs and Progs do on a daily basis, along with the compliant and complicit MSM propagandists.
See thread:
for details of the long, long list of examples of this which the Dems, Libs and Progs along with the compliant and complicit MSM propagandists have done and which are in the public record.
 
I stand corrected.

Mea culpa.
Happens often. Just another day ending in Y.

However, I believe you are Fauci's most vocal apologist.. aka..water carrier on the forum.

You don't have stocks in gain of function research as well do you?
 
So, Joe is insisting that he approved the pardon list but it is now being reported that the lists were changed after meeting with Joe and the aides never got a revised approval.

Do you always ask stupid questions?

All those items are exact examples of what I'm talking about. You'll take these fake maga created issues or real scandals and declare everyone agreed with you in retrospect. Trump and Russia, for example: Mueller and a bipartisan senate committee found Trump's team did try to work with Russian assets. Paul Manfort ws found to be providing intel to a literal Russian agent. And yet here you are casually listing it as a "hoax" cause Trump taught you a new word 10 years ago.

He who feeds the autopen machine can rule the world?

As has been previously observed, in this thread or others, the autopen machine has been used by presidents for a long time now.

I first recall hearing about this from Kennedy's administration, being around the time, if I recall correctly, that it went from the President's secretary signing correspondence on the president's behalf. Then the autopen came along and was used for responding to presidential correspondence.

Its use now appears to have grown from just correspondence to much, much more. Not sure I agree with this greater use of the autopen machine for exactly the reasons being shown in the posting in this thread. Questions of 'Was that particular item on the approved list or not?' 'Which version of the approved list?' All this muddying the waters to the point on not having clarity, which an in person presidential signature eliminates.

Given the vastly increased amount of paperwork which requires presidential signatures from previous years to now, and not wanting to require actual presidential signatures on all of it - burning up president's time with the regular and mundane, perhaps some thought needs to be given which pieces of paperwork actually need a live presidential signature and which don't?

Just a thought.

Use of the auto pen is not the issue per se. the issue is that Biden didn’t actually approve a list of names. He only approved general criteria. And then the aides changed the lists without consulting Joe. That is a huge issue.

You can't prove it. You'll never prove it. This is just about the Epstein scandal and Trump's very obvious decline this term.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
I'm reading "Any CT I agree with is real, while anything which I don't agree with is a CT".
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. </sarcasm>

The fact of the matter is that the Dem's compliant and complicit MSM have been caught promulgating CTs, hoaxes, and smear campaigns against non-Dems, no matter how much you want to run away from it.

Trump and Russia, for example: Mueller and a bipartisan senate committee found Trump's team did try to work with Russian assets.
This the typical gross misrepresentations, distortions and contortions of fact used to further those CTs, hoaxes, and smear campaigns.

Paul Manfort ws found to be providing intel to a literal Russian agent.
Oh really? If other than that campaigns internal polling data, do please support what 'intel' Manafort had access to, and what 'intel' Manafort had provided to which 'literal Russian agent'?
Hmm?

And yet here you are casually listing it as a "hoax" cause Trump taught you a new word 10 years ago.
. . . and, as always, the ad hom attack, so that you can puff up and feel proud of yourself for parroting your given lines in front of all the other leftists of similar mind.

You do realize that this constant need for affirmation is a demonstration self-identifies a weak character, right?
 
The fact of the matter is that the Dem's compliant and complicit MSM
The MSM is now Fox News. Times, Wapo, and L.A. times are just oligarch pr newsletters. The liberal media bullshit is dead and buried. When Ropurt Murdoch and the Kochs cease to exist, you can go back to that little fantasy.
 
Great. An offical pardon signed off with auto-pen, for a yet unnamed offense with no conviction. Is this the mother-of-all get out of jail cards? I'm surprised it was made out to 'Fauci' and not to 'bearer'.
 
Read the NYT article. That is exactly what they said. He approved criteria NOT a list of names.
another article from Gaurdian has Biden saying something different.

"“I made every single one of those,” the former president told the New York Times in an interview published on Sunday when asked about claims that he was incapacitated and unaware of clemency decisions. Biden called the people making those claims “liars”, adding, “They know it.”
