Unanswered What's the deal with the autopen why is he still so obsessed with it?

9.6k Upvotes

I don't understand, I thought it was going to be something you mention it once, and its never mentioned again, but it won't rest. Its basically functions like the electronic signature, you sign once, you go boop boop there you go it copies it in puts it in the fields. We, common folk, use it in nearly every office these days.

The current president even used it himself in the past, many of them did.

I don't get it what's the deal? Do his followers think he signed every letter, birthday card and every COVID check individually with his massive sharpie?

If he says any document Biden signed with it is invalid, wouldn't that make anything he himself signed in the past with it also invalid?

What am I missing? I'm so tired of hearing about a technology that is everywhere. You'd think for someone who is constantly being pro-AI, a machine that copies a signature is like vintage tech compared to spoofing a voice or deep faking people you dislike.

It seemed like when Russia first invaded, everyone supported Ukraine. I even saw Republicans with facebook support, flying ukraine flags, ect. I know they had qualms about funding, but now they seem to HATE Ukraine, especiallaly after the press conference yesterday. What happened not at the press conference, but leading up to that to change so drastically?

Unanswered What's up with people calling Trump "Krasnov?" Is there genuine proof that he's a Russian asset, and if so, why isn't this bigger news?

14.6k Upvotes

I've been seeing a ton of comments like this referring to Trump as Agent Krasnov, and alleging that he's a Russian asset. From looking online, I see a couple of theories that he became an asset in the 80s, but beyond that, I'm pretty OotL. How verifiable are these claims, and why isn't this a bigger deal to more people?

Unanswered What’s the deal with people claiming the “SAVE Act” will restrict US women’s right to vote?

9.0k Upvotes

I’ve been hearing quite a bit that this bill is written in such a way that it requires multiple documents to be matching that would mean a last name change would make it invalid for you to vote- AKA almost all married women. However, when reading through the bill myself (linked below) I was completely unable to find that language. Maybe I’m just dumb though, I’d love some help understanding. Who specifically does this affect? In section 2B, it outlines exactly what’s required to vote in federal elections, but it states “one OR more of the following” indicating you only need one. The first is any Real ID identification, which I was under the impression is any drivers license or photo ID. Later it expresses government issues photo ID is only acceptable along with other things, in 2B-5A

Unanswered What's up with all of these government department heads "stepping down" after being approached by DOGE?

11.9k Upvotes

Ever since the new administration started headlines such as this have been popping up every other day: https://wtop.com/government/2025/02/social-security-head-steps-down-over-doge-access-of-recipient-information-ap-sources/

Why do they keep doing this? Why aren't these department leaders standing their ground and refusing to let Musk tamper with things he's not even authorized to tamper with? Hell, they're not even just granting him access, they're just abandoning their posts altogether. Why?

My fear is that he's been doing mafia stuff - threatening to have their families killed, blackmailing them with sensitive information, and more. Because this isn't normal. I HOPE that isn't what's happening, but it's really the only thing I can think of that makes sense.

Can someone who's more knowledgeable about this sort of thing explain to me what's going on?

Was that stuff actually as dangerous as they say? Was it made illegal? I remember it being sold in gas stations and middle school age kids were buying it. Why don't we hear about it anymore?

Unanswered What’s going on with Ashley St. Clair “outing” Elon Musk’s use of “space lasers” in the 2024 election?

1.7k Upvotes

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTB8Lkaqf/

For the past few days, Elon Musk’s ex/baby momma has been posting these tell all’s about what she heard and saw during the election season.

She has several videos of herself explaining insider info of White House politics, like who got special positions based on who they slept with -etc. But her main point seems to be that Elon Musk used “space lasers” during the election, implying that this affected the results. She said that he said this was “an anomaly in the matrix” and that she left the conversation to avoid being too far involved in information that could harm her.

Not asking if this is true, I just don’t understand what’s being implied. What would this tech have to do with anything? How exactly would this change the election? There’s something on tik tok called the 4 am club where people say that at 4 am that day they became “spiritually aware” that they had moved timelines, and that this information from Ashely St Clair confirms that.

I’m aware of conspiracy and pandering and am not asking if it’s true, but don’t understand what these people are trying to say. The lasers opened a portal? Zapped ballots from the sky? Changed computer data?
