GOP's Biden Autopen Obsession Could Come Back to Haunt Them
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee has taken it upon itself to scrutinize President Joe Biden's mental state, with Speaker Mike Johnson claiming that the White House attempted to cover up severe cognitive decline. In a press conference, Johnson argued that every executive action signed by autopen without written authorization during Biden's term should be voided.
However, a new report released Tuesday paints a different picture. The committee claims that Biden's reliance on autopens constitutes one of the biggest political scandals in US history, with Chair Rep. James Comer labeling it the "Biden Autopen Presidency." But experts argue that this obsession is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to deflect attention from the party's own track record of governance.
Comer has been laser-focused on Biden's mental state since taking over as Oversight chair in January 2023, despite evidence proving scarce. His claims have been widely rejected by experts and Democrats alike, with a spokesperson for Biden stating that there was no conspiracy or cover-up involved.
The Republican party's fixation on Biden's health appears to be an exercise in monomaniacal politics, diverting attention from the real issues at hand – such as the growing healthcare crisis affecting 17 million Americans. The report is also seen as a precursor to potentially nullifying executive orders signed by Biden due to his advanced age.
In reality, it is the GOP that stands to face scrutiny for their own dubious actions under President Trump's watch. Given Trump's vocal proclamations about his mental fortitude and recent MRI results, one cannot help but wonder if this is a case of pot calling kettle black.
As the saying goes, "what goes around comes around." The GOP's crusade against Biden may prove to be a costly endeavor that ultimately backfires on them. In setting a precedent for potentially nullifying executive orders due to a president's age, they risk undermining their own credibility and legitimacy.

. They're more worried about Biden's mental state than the growing healthcare crisis affecting 17 million Americans 
. It's like they're trying to deflect attention from their own track record of governance, which is pretty sketchy themselves 
.
. I think the GOP should focus on their own actions under Trump's watch instead of trying to tarnish Biden's reputation 
.
. It'll undermine their credibility and legitimacy, and make them look like the party that's more concerned with scoring political points than actually governing 
. The GOP should focus on finding solutions to real problems instead of trying to demonize Biden over something that's not even a big deal 
I'm just saying, can we please focus on something other than Biden's autopen obsession? Like, what about the fact that Trump was all like "I'm fine, no problem" during his time in office, but now everyone's freaking out because he got an MRI? 
It seems kinda hypocritical to me. And let's be real, if we're gonna start scrutinizing Biden's mental state, shouldn't we do the same for other older presidents like Reagan or Bush Sr.? I mean, come on, 77 is not old! 
It's just a slippery slope, you know?
. It seems like the GOP is more concerned about scrutinizing Biden's mental health than actually addressing the real issues affecting America. I mean, 17 million Americans struggling with healthcare – that's a crisis! Not to mention all the shady dealings under Trump's watch... it's time for some accountability 
. This whole thing is just a big case of pot calling kettle black – they're worried about Biden's age, but they should be looking in the mirror themselves 
. Mark my words, this autopen obsession will come back to haunt them 
I drew a diagram of my thoughts on this issue... 
. Their focus on Biden's mental state is a distraction from the real issues, like the growing healthcare crisis 
. They're trying to deflect attention from their own questionable actions under Trump's watch 
. It's all about politics as usual... 
. And let's be real, this whole thing could backfire on them... 
this is a huge distraction from the real issues at hand, and it's just going to come back to haunt them when they're held accountable for their own actions 
On the bright side, this whole autopen drama might actually shine some light on how the system works (or doesn't work) 
So, let's keep a level head and not jump to conclusions... yet 
. And let's be real, Trump was the one who was all about making a fuss over his own mental health 
.
.
I mean, if they start nullifying executive orders because of Biden's age, that could come back to haunt them in a big way. And then where will they be? 
gotta wonder if they're more worried about bein next in line for the throne or somethin
