and now ...

 

The Guardian - Trump claims to void all documents signed by Biden, citing autopen use 

 

breaking

 


Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is terminating all documents, including pardons, that he said his predecessor Joe Biden signed using an autopen.

 

The autopen is a device used to replicate a person’s signature with precision, typically for high-volume or ceremonial documents. It has been employed by presidents of both major parties to sign letters and proclamations.

 

Anyone receiving ’Pardons,’ ’Commutations,’ or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

 

Trump, known for his provocative style and dislike for his political opponents, has repeatedly targeted Biden’s use of the autopen to sign official documents during his presidency.

 



 

The words of a mad despot.  😟

 

EDIT   The use of mechanical copying devices for handwritten documents dates back to the polygraph tool embraced by Thomas Jefferson. 

 

 

 

 

So, about those 1600 pardons for attacking the senate...

 

Shall we also null an void all trumps stuff because he is incapable of reading or comprehending any of it ?

This House election happened yesterday afternoon (our time). The Republican guy won, which was to be expected as this was in Tennessee - a solidly red state. However the young lass from the Democrats was only 9 points behind him. This is an area that voted for the orange buffoon by over 22 points last year.

 

If this is a harbinger of next year's midterms, and I was in the Republican Party, I'd be quite concerned as well.

Trump wants to be on a coin. That's illegal — for a reason.

Tell Trump he can be on a coin after he dies. If he wants to hurry that process it is up to him.

Accidental sign placement 😃:

All joking aside, I really hope this is nothing more than a distraction - as if this sort of nonsense comes to pass, it would impact my boys (who have dual citizenship).

 

As for Elon and co though, happy to see him forced to the leave the US 👍

When people throw around terms like “dual citizenship” or “triple citizenship,” it’s important to remember that those are informal, often political expressions.

There is no global legal framework that defines “dual” or “triple” citizenship. Citizenship law is set by each country independently. There is no worldwide body, not even United Nations, that defines or regulates how many passports you can hold.

Some countries explicitly prohibit multiple citizenship. China for example demands that immigrants renounce previous citizenships before becoming naturalized.

Most allow multiple citizenships.

Stateless

On a related subject: no government should be able to revoke your last citizenship and leave you stateless. Human-rights argue strongly that statelessness is unacceptable.

The U.S. itself has shown shows citizenship can be precarious.

Trump's United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a memo signed June. It ordered prosecutors to “prioritise and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings” against naturalized citizens if they are deemed to have “illegally procured” citizenship, or obtained it via “concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.”

That memo gives government lawyers “broad flexibility” in deciding who to target. It's a chilling signal to the 25 million naturalized Americans that their citizenship is not secure.

Once denaturalized, a person reverts to a permanent resident. This in turn may make them subject to deportation. It's possible leaving them with no place to go, or effectively stateless.

Under Trump, the idea that citizenship is fixed, secure, and universal is dangerous. Citizenship can be revoked, and people can end up in limbo.

Though it's rare, governments have stripped people’s legal status entirely.

In short: there is no global “dual-citizenship” authority, but there are plenty of ways the US can use to make citizenship unstable, conditional, and ultimately disposable.

Center for Civil Society

You may come across C4CS, "Center for Civil Society" which will have long videos on the "fragility of citizenship".

They frame American citizenship as being in crisis and argue that only their conservative vision of community, tradition, and decentralized power can restore it.

They blame globalism, progressive politics, and federal agencies for eroding national identity.

Throughout the conversation, they portray ordinary Americans as being manipulated by political elites, cultural decay, and federal overreach, yet present themselves as the interpreters of what “real” citizenship should mean.

They believe international institutions, global economic forces, and progressive ideological movements are weakening American sovereignty and civic unity.

Representative Ilhan Omar’s Response to Question About Marrying Brother Goes Viral: Newsweek

Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, fired back at the White House after it revived a debunked claim that she married her brother, posting a viral response that has topped 10.2 million views and pivoted from her denial to asking, “is your President a pedophile?”

President Donald Trump has claimed that Omar allegedly married her brother, a long-debunked claim that came to prominence years earlier that she has repeatedly denied. Omar who has represented Minnesota in the House since 2019, has frequently been the target of anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim attacks tied to her Somali heritage, faith and politics.
...
The official Rapid Response 47 White House team responded to her post, writing: “Why did you marry your brother.” Trump has repeated this debunked allegation before, writing on Thanksgiving: “Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how 'badly' she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc.”

Omar once more reshared the post, writing: “I didn’t but is your President a pedophile?”

Did U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar Marry Her Brother? Short answer: no

Omar herself became a naturalized U.S. citizen while still a minor.

The allegations trace back to anonymous posts and unverifiable statements; major fact-checking outlets classify them as unsubstantiated.

What is documented is a complex marital history involving religious and civil marriages. Nothing proves a blood connection between Omar and any of her former husbands.

President Donald Trump receives the FIFA Peace Prize on Friday. 

 

The Washington Post - ‘This is your Peace Prize,’ Gianni Infantino tells Trump

 

05 December 2025

 

 

President Donald Trump has long desired a Nobel Peace Prize, recognition that has proved elusive.

 

On Friday, he received a consolation of sorts: the newly created FIFA Peace Prize, an award personally overseen by Giovanni Infantino, the head of FIFA and a close ally of the U.S. president.

 

This is your Peace Prize,” Infantino told Trump, as they stood onstage and Infantino encouraged Trump to put a medal around his neck. Infantino also presented Trump with a trophy and a certificate from the soccer federation.

 

Trump, for his part, called it a “tremendous honor” and gave short remarks about his efforts to bring peace to the world.

 

 

EDIT:

 

Background:   Infantino has carried out a charm campaign with Trump in recent months, opening a FIFA office in Trump Tower and frequently joining Trump for events.

 

Summary:

 

  •     Trump awarded FIFA's inaugural peace prize for promoting dialogue
  •     Event held at Washington's Kennedy Center at Trump's urging
  •     Trump says he has settled eight wars in 10 months  😏

This one is especially savage. Not just because it implies he falls asleep in cabinet meetings, but also because it implies he supports:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which of course, we know he does.

You know things are f'd up when I have to post this clarification:

This is not a parody. It's a thing that the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted.

The Trump administration: A freak show of damaged people.

Publisher condemns ‘violent’ use of Franklin the Turtle after Hegseth’s boat strike post: The Guardian

A post on social media by US defense secretary Pete Hegseth, depicting a beloved children’s character aiming a rocket launcher at a cluster of boats, has elicited condemnation from the book’s Canadian publisher.

Hegseth’s post of the mocked cover of a Franklin the Turtle book titled Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists prompted disbelief and outrage. The image shows a smiling anthropomorphic turtle in military helmet and vest, with a US flag on his arm and a drug-laden boat exploding in the background. “For your Christmas wish list,” Hegseth wrote as the caption.

Yes, charm campaign as everyone does. Netanyahu, Putin, Modi (yes that will be interesting). 

 

Peace Prize. Maybe its the Rest in Peace prize. 

 

Turned a blind eye to Netanyahu killing elderly, men, women and children. Cant even get a break getting food then being killed

 

Venezuela boats, you could intercept them as normal countries do, or you can kill them without ascertaining they carry drugs.

 

Ukraine, you can favour Putin, tell Ukraine that they want war. You could cut off Intel and munitions, so more get killed

 

Rust never sleeps.

 

These days its all about favours, peace, love and being happy seems meaningless to the leaders.

 

Now I see Trump is going after EU etc, because they are in the way of getting Putins permission...

 

Go EU and like minded countries. Not an easy fix but it will be a medium to long term fix
