Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, December 04, 2025

... What if he didn't really change"what if the bureaucrats changed him? That's the puzzle piece America and the Trump administration are examining right now. Biden's hard turn left after taking office arrived without an external shock. Which invites a different reading, one that might sound cynical in any other era. Maybe the shift that began with a stack of pardon certificates wasn't evolution. Maybe it was a revolution by the people who held the pen

FTA:

" Lyndon Johnson used the autopen 40 times for substantive documents"under 1% of his total output. Ronald Reagan, 120 (2%). George H. W. Bush, 80 (1.5%). Barack Obama, 2011"2014, 300 (3%), including the Deauville Patriot Act episode"with his explicit direction.
Joseph R. Biden, 2021"2024: more than 1,400 substantive autopen executions, constituting ~60% after July 2022"and zero presidential logins thereafter. In a courtroom, that's not ceremony. It looks like usurpation."

I'm a borderline Hall of Fame troll, Alexandrite. I easily elicit multiple responses with a single post. And it doesn't take any effort.

From the piece of ---- that the piece of ---- linked to

"On March 4, 1789, the new government opened under a Constitution born of pens. The framers were called signers for a reason: men who tied their names to acts so the public could associate the will to sign with the law."

Thomas Jefferson INVENTED the autopen

That's not what that means, and it doesn't relate to autoPen.

AutoPen should be little different than DocUSign.

There needs to be verification the President had the intent to sign the document, and it needs to be recorded.

This has nothing to do with Biden, no expofacto crap, just going forward

You know how I can tell this is dishonest s*&^? They try to sneak in an inflated stat without comparison to any other listed POTUS.

"Biden's hard turn left"

Nobody's buying what you're selling.
Biden has been a Centrist and an Incrementalist his whole life.

That "refutation" is nonsensical. Use of the auto pen is not controversial by itself. The sheer quantity that Biden's handlers used it strongly, suggests it was being done without Biden's knowledge.

FTA:

" Klain would eventually log 1,214 autopen accesses during his tenure from 2021 to 2023 ... . plan"routed through Susan Rice's terminal. Rice, Domestic Policy Advisor from 2021 to 2023, logged 312 autopen uses ... . Anita Dunn, senior advisor from 2021 to 2024, logged 189 uses ... . After July 2022, Biden logged no live signatures."
