One of the most used "tools" in the administrations arsenal is accusing your opponent of what you are doing. This could work, maybe, if not applied to every single thing ever. Stephen Miller, pretending to be Trump, posting about the use of Autopens pretending to be Biden, is a little too meta.

rad, Trump's pardoning former Honduran President Hernández convicted and imprisoned here for trafficking ~400 tons of cocaine to the US and being in the employ of the cartels including using the bribes to fund his campaign

its not about the drugs, we're putting the cartels back in power like this

As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency.

It's going to be hilarious to watch Stephen Miller spend the rest of his life writing stuff like this on the walls of his prison cell.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

So, Stephen Miller will cancel all Biden autopen orders via Trump's autopen, then?

We know Pedoman Trump Krasnov Dementia-Drumpf didn't write this, as he's 92% not all there anymore.

When asked about the death of a W. Virginia National Guardsman, the President of the United States bragged about his electoral margin in her state.

When asked about the shooter, he called the reporter a stupid person.

Please stop holding quarter for anyone supporting this monstrous piece of shit.

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.
