Summary
Trump declared Biden’s pardons “VOID” in a late-night Truth Social post, claiming they were signed by autopen without Biden’s knowledge—despite Trump having used autopen during his first term.
Trump warned pardoned individuals, including January 6th committee members (who weren’t charged with crimes), that they’re “subject to investigation at the highest level.”
Critics characterized his statements as “dictator shit” and questioned their legality, with one commenting this represents “the 17th constitutional crisis of just this weekend alone.”

Nobody is instigating anything here; the whole thing is just that outrageous.

Uh… You do realize America is becoming fascist right now right? I wonder if German media also hyperfocused on Hitler in the 1930s.
Trump’s tyranny itself is what instigates outrage, not the news’ coverage of it.
This is what “they” want. I get it. I’m right there with you. Find something that you can lean on to help you keep your sanity; a hobby, a new tv show, volunteer to take care of puppies at your local shelter… you need to balance this firestorm before you get burnt out. But no matter what, we need you to keep fighting! We need you!
Edit.
This is the truth and you should be outraged, but calling truthful reporting “instigating outrage” is insane
That’s by design.
Not even two months in, yet. I fear you won’t make it.

That’s not how politics works. That’s just sticking your head in the sand.

You do understand people are posting articles from those same news sources, right?
If you don’t want to be on lemmy then just stop going on Lemmy. No one cares.
