Is this a serious story? You know the Joe Biden autopen fiasco is bad when
the media is running stories like this: a Republican Congressman also used
a digital signature for subpoenas. That�s not the same thing, you clowns.
The Republican targeted in this piece is Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of House Oversight, who�s also investigating the Biden pardons (via NBC
News):

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., has been leading the probe into Joe Biden�s
cognitive state during his presidency, with Republicans alleging that
Biden's occasional use of an �autopen� to sign documents � a practice
other presidents have done as well � demonstrated that he wasn�t fully in control or aware of what his administration was doing.

But documents show that some of the letters and subpoena notices Comer has
sent out in connection to his investigation have been signed using a
digital signature � not written by the congressman himself.

[�]

�Using digital signatures for official correspondence is a common practice
for both Republicans and Democrats in the House of Representatives.
Chairman Comer has never hidden the fact that he uses a digital signature
when appropriate, and he approves all official correspondence that is
signed digitally,� a spokeswoman from the House Oversight Committee said
in response to a lengthy list of questions from NBC News. �Legally binding subpoenas issued by Chairman Comer always bear a wet signature and are
never signed using an autopen or digital signature. Comparing Chairman
Comer�s use of digital signatures for letters to the unauthorized use of
an autopen in the Biden White House for legally binding executive actions
is absurd and misleading. The two are not even remotely comparable.�

The use of digital signatures has been common in Washington for decades,
both in the White House and in Congress. Members of Congress and their
staff regularly use printed versions of their signatures to respond to the voluminous amount of correspondence they receive. The practice extends
beyond just digital copies of signatures on electronic documents; for
years, congressional offices have designated staffers to sign on behalf of
the members to alleviate the burden.

What the hell is this?

First, Comer is cogent and mentally sound�Joe Biden was not. That�s the
point, you defective cretins. The former president might have signed these clemency petitions, but his mental faculties were degraded; that makes the document not legally binding. These might not be legitimate pardons, and
we know Joe Biden was out of it�his entire staff virtually admitted so
after the 2024 election. Every Democrat knew, too. The New York Times�
lengthy interview with Biden featured no legal experts weighing in,
especially after it was revealed that they had established an unusual
command structure from which Biden would delegate pardon authority.

It's a tangle. Everything this man has done is a game of bumper cars,
though ones that spin in circles crashing into everything around them.
It�s a mess. They lied about Hunter Biden not being pardoned, lied about
his cancer, lied about his mental state�and the pervasive and aggressive
staff interference executed when Biden was president�Speaker Mike Johnson struggled to meet with him one-on-one�still presents issues over who was
really running the country.

It wasn�t Joe Biden, and Mr. Comer�s digital signature for subpoenas isn�t
the same thing as questionable pardons from a mentally degraded president.
You guys wasted a lot of time just to get laughed at.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
