| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 158 Posts: 5471 | Oh sure, I can understand the need to sign lots of stuff but why an autopen? I assume the controversy is that it is tough to distinguish a real signature from one done with an autopen. Easy enough to end the confusion: have the so called autopen signature NOT look authentic, e.g. have it not in cursive but in large caps from the keyboard. Only use the real signature for bills and equally important stuff. |

Thomas Jefferson used the auto pen so it's hardly a New Concept. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| fleaswatter Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 5 Posts: 1740 | I have a one question for you. You said that President Trump "is abusing his office for personal gain". Please provide be with actual examples. Is he is abusing his office for personal gain like he did in his first "term" when his net worth dropped by almost $1 billion? |

I’ve publicly stated numerous times here that I am embarrassed a man like Trump is President. Is that enough for you? |

The exponential increase in Trump branded NFTs, attempts at Trump crypto, Trump boots, etc…. He is most definitely using the power of his pulpit for personal gain. |

(1) Can you point to any of your public statements made contemporaneous to Donny's deposition, where you called it a stain on his Presidency? Did you hold his invoking the 5th back then to the same standard as you do of former Biden aides today? (2) If you were embarrassed enough that he is President today, why did you support his candidacy in 2024? |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 165 Posts: 6374 | no, the autopen is different. Jefferson would have used something that wrote simultaneously to duplicate what he was writing at that very time With the autopen what's to be signed is placed under a real pen. The machine then moves the pen according to a stored pattern. No human is moving the pen, and note that the fact that it is a real pen makes a difference, there are other ways to duplicate a signature I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Show one post of mine where I supported his candidacy? I have repeatedly mentioned I voted for myself. If you consider my valid criticism of almost everything the Democrats party stands for as supporting Trump, feel free. I don’t. Trump’s Presidency is covered in many stains. Just the mess is not as bad as what a Harris Presidency would have looked like IF the House and Senate went Dem as well. As I’ve also mentioned many times, things go better when it’s either 2-1 Republicans or 2-1 Democrat. 3-0 results in many overreaches like we are seeing now. |
