It’s a spectacle that’s becoming all too familiar in today’s political theater: another investigation targeting a former President, this time, Joe Biden. Republicans are turning up the heat, questioning Biden’s cognition during his presidency and pointing to the curious case of the auto-pen. You know, the modern version of those wax seals kings used to slap onto decrees? Yep, that’s right. As the story goes, while Biden was too busy contemplating what flavor ice cream to pick, an auto-pen was signing his name to executive orders and, more controversially, issuing pardons. The eyebrow-raising part? Apparently, of the 80 pardons linked to the Biden administration, only one—a familial affair for his son Hunter—bears his actual signature.
Now, some folks in the media brush this off with the irritated blow-offs usually reserved for conspiracy theories involving Bigfoot or UFOs. But let’s not skate past this plot point too fast. Republicans argue there’s more to investigate here than just a loose pen cap. Questions swirl around whether Biden was mentally in command during his tenure. A handful of former Biden officials are now in the spotlight, possibly caught up in a game of strategy that left the Commander-in-Chief on the sidelines with a spectator’s ticket.
What’s juicier than a well-crafted whodunit mystery is the talk of a whistleblower. According to whispers, this whistleblower has popped up, claiming knowledge of a triumvirate of advisors who allegedly had an outsize influence over the goings-on in the Biden White House. If this pans out, it sounds more like a plot twist in a political potboiler rather than something out of the Oval Office. Are we seriously surprised, though? Politicians are well-versed in the art of passing the buck when it comes to decision-making. There’s no law against being a puppet, but as spectators in this grand show, one can’t help but ponder who’s really pulling the strings?
But wait, the story doesn’t just end with questioning Biden’s cognition or probing his pardons. There’s serious talk about the process, or lack thereof, surrounding these pardons. It seems, in this scenario, the whereabouts of policies, documentation, and accountability queue up for a game of hide and seek! Some have pointed out that presidents often save their most controversial presidential acts for the last-minute escape route out of office. Even so, Biden’s rushed auto-signed pardons, particularly in cases like Dr. Anthony Fauci and others, take the cake in eyebrow-raising precedents.
On the horizon, the expectation builds that this matter might spill over into Capitol Hill with a Congressional hearing spectacle that rivals a Hollywood blockbuster. Envision high-profile names like Dr. Jill Biden and Hunter Biden being hauled into the spotlight, grilled by inquisitors intent on uncovering truth, or at least a version that stokes public fire. While politicians are often slipperier than a bar of soap in a bubble bath, the real outcome hinges on whether this is another episode of the same old political drama or a legitimate pursuit of presidential accountability.
One thing is certain—Americans, especially those skeptical of mainstream narratives, should watch this space. The next chapter of this unfolding saga might just redefine what we thought we knew about presidential power and its potential handlers. In this mix of inquiry, auto-pens, and pardons, there’s potentially more at stake than just political reputation; it’s about how diligent our leaders are supposed to be while ensuring the pen truly is mightier than the empty chair.
