Conservatives Furious Biden Aides Plead the 5th Over Autopen Scandal; Liberals Remind Them Trump Treated the 5th Like a Loyalty Oath

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Outrage erupted on conservative media this week after it was revealed that several aides to former President Joe Biden invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned about the now-infamous Autopen Incident — a scandal involving the automatic signing of a routine veterans’ benefits bill while Biden was attending a groundbreaking ceremony for an Amtrak-themed dog park.

“THIS IS WORSE THAN WATERGATE!” shouted Fox News anchor Chad Freedom, whose tie gradually transformed into an American flag mid-broadcast. “The American people deserve to know who programmed the autopen, who pressed the button, and whether Biden even knew he was president that day.”

Republican Congressman Buford McDrapes (R-Tantrum) immediately called for hearings. “This is a blatant violation of the Constitution,” he declared. “We have to get to the bottom of this mechanical ink-stamping madness. Was the pen… woke?”

Meanwhile, MAGA influencers on Truth Social suggested that the autopen may have been hacked by George Soros, the ghost of Karl Marx, or, most disturbingly, Hunter Biden’s laptop.

A Fifth of Hypocrisy

As the conservative outrage machine whirred into high gear, Democrats rolled their eyes so hard they briefly altered Earth’s rotation. “Just a reminder,” tweeted Congresswoman AOC, “Donald Trump pled the Fifth more than 450 times. That wasn’t about an autopen. That was about fraud, tax evasion, and hush money.”

In response, MAGA loyalist Todd P. Liberty (@Trump4Jesus69) tweeted: “Yeah but when Trump pleads the Fifth, it’s patriotism. When Biden’s team does it, it’s treason. Know the difference, sheep.”

Asked for comment, President Trump released a statement written in sharpie across an Arby’s receipt:

“Only guilty people plead the Fifth, unless it’s me. In that case, I was too smart to answer their fake, rigged, very unfair questions. I know the Constitution better than anyone. I wrote some of it. FACT. Biden uses an AUTOPEN. I use a Sharpie. That’s called leadership.”

Sean Hannity devoted an entire segment to analyzing footage of the autopen in action, speculating it may have been forged in a Chinese lab or manufactured by windmill parts. “Do you know what else uses automatic writing?” Hannity asked ominously. “Witches. Just something to think about.”

Future Hearings

The House Oversight Committee is reportedly preparing to subpoena the autopen itself, along with a White House staffer known only as "Janine from Stationery."

Meanwhile, legal scholars weighed in, noting that invoking the Fifth Amendment is, in fact, a constitutional right available to all citizens — even those not named Trump.

“But only when it’s used to avoid testifying about an actual crime,” noted law professor Dr. Anita Realpoint. “Not when it’s about whether the President signed his own birthday card.”

As of press time, Republicans were seen furiously trying to write a bill banning all autopens, except the one Ronald Reagan once used in 1987, which they have now declared to be “sacred.”

Trump Says Ukraine War Caused by Stolen 2020 Election; Ends Conflict Instantly with Confidence

At a joint press conference this week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping new theory of international relations, asserting that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would never have occurred if the 2020 U.S. presidential election had not been “stolen from him personally.” “This war,” Trump said, gesturing broadly toward Eastern Europe, “is really about me. Everybody knows it. If I were president, this would not have happened. Putin would have been too scared. Tremendously scared.” Standing beside him, Zelensky maintained a diplomatic expression usually reserved for situations involving translation errors or mild food poisoning. Trump continued, explaining that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was not the result of decades of post-Cold War tension, NATO expansion debates, or Russian imperial ambition, but rather a direct consequence of Trump not being in the White House at the time. “Putin respects strength,” Trump said. “And by streng...

Trump’s Prime-Time Address Assures Americans the Economy Is Perfect—Suggests They’re Just Too Stupid to Notice

In an unexpected return to prime-time television, President Donald J. Trump delivered a 28-minute national address Wednesday night designed, according to his staff, to “clear up confusion about the economy.” The resulting speech instead raised questions about whether he had accidentally wandered onto the soundstage during a pharmaceutical infomercial. “Ladies and gentlemen, the American economy is the strongest, the bigliest, the most incredible it has ever been,” Trump announced, gripping the lectern as if it had personally wronged him. “If you can’t see that, well… maybe you’re just not very smart. Not everyone can be smart. I’m very smart. But most of you, frankly? Not so much.” Economic experts, who had spent the previous week offering cautious optimism mixed with concern about rising costs, were surprised to learn that the entire issue was simply a matter of insufficient national intelligence. “Normally we talk about inflation, interest rates, employment trends,” said economist Da...

Nation Excited to Experience All the Thrill of Getting a Passport — Every Two Years — Just to Vote

WASHINGTON — In a stunning development for lovers of paperwork everywhere, lawmakers have unveiled the SAFE Act, a bold new initiative promising to bring the full sensory experience of passport acquisition directly to your local election cycle. Supporters say the bill will ensure “secure, confident elections,” while critics have pointed out it also ensures that Americans can relive the magic of government-issued identity documentation roughly as often as they replace their toothbrush. Democracy, Now With Waiting Rooms Under the proposal, voters would present newly verified identification documentation — potentially requiring updated proof of citizenship — before casting a ballot. “People love passports,” said one enthusiastic policy backer. “The lines. The forms. The gentle existential dread while wondering if your birth certificate has the right font. Why should international travel have all the fun?” Experts estimate the average American could now enjoy: Searching for their origina...
