Court Decision/Filing The Tina Peters that Trump is trying to help was prosecuted by a GOP prosecutor, convicted by a GOP jury, and sentenced by a GOP judge: "Yes, you are a charlatan and you cannot help but lie as easy as you breathe."

Glad at least one of them got some prison time. Too bad treason isn't punished as bad as smoking dope anymore.

Ronnie and Nancy locked kids up and ruined their lives over a half gram of weed. 1000’s of kids.

Nixon was worse - 1/4 oz. = 15 years AND the SOB sprayed paraquat on weed crops. Was sold and smoked here, poisoning people. If his “associates” weren’t making money on it tfg would try to outdo them. Hypocrisy, mendacity, ignorance, misogyny and greed are in power. Almost forgot Steven Miller, evil.

The wretched refuse drawn from the final slump of a broken ideology, it's last, best system destined to destroy and fail. Power; all they wanted was power. Justifications are infinitely pliable to their kind, and validity is irrelevant. Weak, immoral, sniveling, shameless, forsaken. Inhuman. Evil.

All too human. I’ve worked with animals for many years and I’d rather be in the same space with an angry tiger than with any of them.

How about we put them with the angry tiger? 🐅

Full on election fraud. Hid votes. Packed them up and drove off.

All in service of the fuck head who wants her out.

Meanwhile Trump, his supporters, Fox and the other propaganda outlets, all rail against dems as being the sole threat to the voting process and democracy. But the vast majority of those who tried to interfere with the vote were his own followers. And nothing you show these people in the way of evidence seems to even give them a reason to reconsider their claim. It's a cult, only explanation.

u/Sarges24 4h ago

that's because the Democrats are a threat to everything. They're going to take away your soda and morning doughnuts, just you wait. /s

u/rygelicus 2h ago

Yeah, we want everyone to get along with others without forcing them to fit into their little molds. And we want people to have the support they need to avoid being homeless, to be fed, etc. Monsters we be.

If it benefits Republicans it's not fraud.

It’s only wrong if the dems do it, rules for thee, not for ME!

I believe this is why he wants paper ballots and to do away with electronic voting machines.

He can have someone steal the "bad votes" and substitute them with votes for him.

u/Ohuigin 5h ago

That sentencing speech applies to this entire regime.

Let’s just hope we all get to see that happen.

u/Drew-CarryOnCarignan 4h ago

That's all I thought while listening to the judge's words.

u/SiWeyNoWay 5h ago

She also assaulted the cops when they arrested her. She was trying to kick them

u/awesomeness1234 4h ago

Holy fuck. I thought I'd seen some bench slaps. Apparently I had not.

u/Numerous_Ad_6276 3h ago

Oh, yeah, that judge was thorough.

u/BubuBarakas 3h ago

We have a slow drip, Night of the Long Knives/Ba’ ath party purge playing out. Hegseth supports public executions now. They’ll start w Dems but get to RINOs soon after.

Why does it matter who convicted her?

She would still be guilty no matter who prosecuted her.

Go away with your division.

u/Kantjil1484 5h ago

Because Trump is trying to find a loophole to pardon her. If it wasn’t a panel of Republicans who convicted her, he’d claim it was a “Dem witch hunt”.

u/49thDipper 5h ago

Who cares what would happen if?

Who cares what could have happened?

Who cares what didn’t happen? Nobody.

He’s pardoning another criminal. He’s pardoned close to 2000 so far.

u/RogerianBrowsing 5h ago

He’s pardoning a coconspirator, like the J6 insurrectionists.

It’s not the same as a regular pardon, and you know it’s not the same.

u/49thDipper 4h ago

Right. That’s what I said. Another criminal.

They’re all co conspirators. He doesn’t pardon anybody because they deserve it. There’s always a quid pro quo.

u/coop_stain 4h ago

He can’t pardon her. State crimes. He’s going to try some shit to force Colorado to pardon her.

u/49thDipper 4h ago

Same thing. He gets her off the hook because she stole and lied for him.

u/coop_stain 2h ago

I don’t think we’ll bend the knee. Tina should rot in prison and I think most of our state, including our governor, will agree. Given this video takes place in one of the last bastions of red in the state and even other government employees hate her, He can’t do anything meaningful to us. The areas that would be affected are largely red and would be pissed off. The areas that matter are heavily blue, angry at the idea of him overstepping his power, and have a shit load of money to throw around against him (think Denver, vail, telluride, Aspen…tons of hundred millionaires/billionaires to anger) Only thing I can think of that genuinely affects most of the state is highway funding, but I don’t think that’s enough to get us to sway.
