"YOU ARE A CHARLATAN" - Tina Peters sentencing.

[orangecrush]

"no respect for checks and balances"

This is what I dearly hope to see the rest of Trump's cabal get when just desserts are served.

This is why Trump is trying so hard to get her cut lose.

No one in their right mind wants to do nine years for the felon.


This Judge is incredible.

If Supreme Court justices had the integrity this guy has in his pinky finger, this country would be in much better shape.

1. Colorado should do

a "reverse Ghilaine Maxwell" and move Peters to a higher security prison while she demands that they violate the constitution.

[orangecrush]

2. If anyone has given up hope for justice

This is a MUST WATCH.

And I agree.

[dgauss]

29. Unfiltered sanity. Honesty. Straight talk.

However that would be described, what a great F****** good thing to hear.

[OldBaldy1701E]

45. Well, this person was just a cog in the sedition machine.

It is easy for the judge to go after her. It is easy for everyone to go after her.

Wake me when it is Miller, or Voight, or Hegseth, or the orange gibbon standing there.

Then, I might start thinking about justice again.

[orangecrush]

46. She is an example

That shows MAGAT operatives they will NOT tamper with eiections with impunity.

[OldBaldy1701E]

58. Okay.

Let's see if it works.

(I would not hold my breath, if I were you.)

[orangecrush]

59. It worked for her

[dgauss]

49. Yes, a cog. How else will this happen?

Wake up and the monsters are gone?

This, as long ago as it was, is how it will happen.

[OldBaldy1701E]

57. Taking apart the machine piece by piece is taking too long and causing suffering and worse to our citizens.

Destroying the machine is what needs to be done. Not slowly taking a piece here and there while it continues to damage our citizens.

That is going to create more suffering that does not have to happen, except for those who do not want things to change too much because of their own involvement with the underlying reasons for all of this, as well as their socioeconomic position which will allow them to hang on in this situation longer than most of us can.

Do the 'elite' in this country really expect the rest of us to just sit and suffer while they wait till this affects their own bottom line?

Why should the poor do that?

[orangecrush]

60. Make it so they can't operate

And when the strings to the puppets are cut, the show is over.

[reACTIONary]

62. "Destroying the machine"? How do you propose to....

... get that done? What's the plan?

[orangecrush]

63. I am old and not the sharpest crayon on the box.

However -



Billionaire oligarchs are for all practical purposes untouchable.

Not so their lackeys.

Legally going after the foot soldiers is effective.

It discourages others from committing illegal acts for their masters, knowing they will face consequences that can't be cancelled by the masters, in this case a state conviction that Trump can't pardon legally.

This is why he is putting on a show of trying to release Peters, even though he can do nothing

[reACTIONary]

65. Good analysis!

[orangecrush]

66. Thanks

[OldBaldy1701E]

68. Simple.

Stop supporting the machine. Stop giving it the recourses it has to have to keep on running.

NO machine will work without some sort of power to make it run. Remove that power and the machine is useless.

Stop giving the machine what it needs to run. Stop with the money. Stop with the manpower. Just stop supporting them in any way.

(One of my favorite things to read around here is how people with large tracts of land just cannot comprehend that they need to start growing their own food so that they can stop supporting those corporations that run stores that constantly gouge people because they have convinced us that we cannot sustain ourselves. We most certainly can. We may have been programmed to not believe this, but all we have to do is start doing it.)

We don't have to play their games. We have just been too programmed to believe otherwise.

Time to break the chain, so to speak.

[Easterncedar]

3. That was entirely riveting

What a professional demeanor that judge has. Gravitas!

[orangecrush]

6. He was incredible

And he was livid, but kept his bearing.

[sagetea]

19. Indeed!!

And cathartic!!


sage

[MarineCombatEngineer]

4. That judge, who is a republican by the way,

didn't hold back his contempt for her and her lies and defiance.

My only regret is that she didn't receive more prison time but I'll take it and Flim Flam Man/Ed Martin can get fucked for trying to coerce CO. with threats if she's not released or transferred to Fed. custody, which would be a get out of jail free card.

[orangecrush]

5. The reason Trump is trying to interfere

Is because he wants his agents to believe he can pardon them when they try to tamper with future election results.

It's obviously not because he gives a flying fuck about her personally.

Which is why it's so important to keep her in prison.

It sends a message to these traitors.

A Republican judge?

That's even more incredible, considering he blasted her and compared her to the less fortunate defendants who appeared before him, for whom he expressed genuine compassion.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. The trial was also held in Mesa County, which is a very red county,

so probably most of the jurors were republicans, and the majority of Election Clerks who condemned Tina Peters were repubs. also, so that should tell you just how bad her crimes were.

[orangecrush]

12. Indefensible

And Trump wants to manipulate the outcome.

[Bluetus]

34. What must follow is STATE level prosecutions against ICE agents

Those people need to see that they can end up in a state prison if they break any laws.

So far, we have seen very little on this. There is a big struggle in Pennsylvania where Republicans are trying to pass legislation making ICE agents untouchable. But Dems are trying to pass legislation prohibiting masks and requiring identification.

[orangecrush]

35. Interesting

Thank you!

[brakester]

40. Excellent!

I hope it passes and inspires other states to follow suit.

NO SECRET POLICE!

[markodochartaigh]

30. I'm against capital punishment.

However, in my opinion, trying to subvert an election is tantamount to overthrowing the government and should be prosecuted and punished the same. I should think life in prison.

[erronis]

7. This is an example of when the rule of law works well.

Agree, the proceeding was riveting.

[orangecrush]

8. "A CHARLATAN"

It sounds like he intended to address Trump indirectly.

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

9. I know people like Tina. They're holy warriors and always cruel. Cruelty seems to be common with these Maga "Christians"

Thoughts and prayers Tina. Honest, I wouldn't lie to you Ms. Tina Peters. Nah.

[orangecrush]

10. Thus be it ever.

[Seinan Sensei]

13. Whenever we jail and fine Minions and Lackeys

It short-circuits Mango Cank’s power & wherewithal

[orangecrush]

15. That's how you dismantle an autocrat

And he knows that.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

17. Mango Cank?

I love it.

[Ilsa]

26. "Mango Cank" is perfect! Thank you! nt :)

[calimary]

54. "Mango Cank"!

I THINK I know who we’re talking about, here…

Is he the one who always looks like he has a big “blond” carefully-barbered fibrous haystack on his head?

[electric_blue68]

70. His hair IS getting weirder still!

[flvegan]

14. Watched the whole 23 minutes.

Glorious.

[orangecrush]

23. Take heart

[democrank]

16. Chock one up for justice

in spite of the DO-YOU-KNOW-WHO-I-AM? Tina Peters.

[hatrack]

18. Inject. This. Into. My. Veins.

Your Honor,

[durablend]

20. Hope he has security or is armed

The death threats gonna be coming in hard

[Blue_Adept]

21. The video is from a year ago.

[orangecrush]

25. And it aged like fine wine

[stopdiggin]

31. but might fair better with that kind of tag or explanation? Context?

(for those that were not aware?)

You did have words to say about the clip. Why not include .. ?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[orangecrush]

36. I tried

To explain this was a sentencing proceeding for a MAGAT who tried to tamper with voting machines.

[stopdiggin]

39. which (in itself) provided a timeline? Try a little harder maybe?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[orangecrush]

43. I will next time

[MarineCombatEngineer]

22. They already did,

but this was about a year ago and, as is usually the case, the threats are hollow from a bunch of hollow RW lunatics.

[orangecrush]

24. There is actually a revolver

Called "The Judge".

[BeneteauBum]

27. Wow

I can’t wait until Krasnov faces the same objectivity.
Peace ☮️

[UTUSN]

28. K&R

[Hope22]

32. So worth the watch!

This judge is amazing! Thanks for posting.

[orangecrush]

37. It cheered me up

To see there is still justice.

[HAB911]

33. EPIC

[orangecrush]

38. Came down on her

Like one of Musk's rockets

[liberalla]

41. Thank you Judge!

Beautiful!

[orangecrush]

42. ...

?si=1MwphHrZJ3975atw

[UpInArms]

44. What a truly amazing judge

Just the facts and a full measure of unrelenting justice

[Ruby the Liberal]

47. My man did not come to play

That was a great clip.

It will never cease to amaze me that so many people are willing to destroy their lives just to curry fleeting favor with a grifter con artist.

[SunSeeker]

48. I didn't know she had also KICKED a law enforcement officer. What a piece of shit she is.

She's lucky she only got 9 years. Her lies have damaged our democracy and violated her oath of office. She has zero remorse. She is an ongoing threat to our democracy with her continued spewing of lies online about our election system. I'm so glad she is locked up now!

[soldierant]

72. I vaguely remember when that happened.

IIRC, they were trying to serve a warrant and she was in a bar. and resisted for real. I don't do newspapers, but Colorado Public Radio's email newsletter had a photo or two.

Before I moved in Colorado Springs, I lived for about a decade and a half in Alamosa Bounty in Central southern Colorado. Our county Clerk for most of that time was a Republican who took her oath seriously and was really nice. Sigh. Those were the days.

[RetiredParatrooper]

50. Destroyed

Cant say I feel bad for Ms. Peters,

[infullview]

51. Let the Trumpy bitch rot in hell

[orangecrush]

52. Her lawyer and MAGAT podcast supporter

Ar straight up nazi scum


https://youtube.com/shorts/nAXQTdVS9uQ?si=TYmsWUVVaAtiw_C4

[soldierant]

53. At that she is lucky

in that Colorado has one of the best prison systems in the nation. She will not be served food with maggots in it, as she might be in parts of the South. She won't like the uniforms, but she'll get them laundered regularly. If there's anyone who wants to visit her (which considering her attitude seems unlikely, but certainly possible), that visitor or visitors will have to fill out a form and have their background checked, but the process will be fair and likely fast, and if approved and they come to visit, they will be treated with grace.

However, they will not put up with being disrespected. Hopefully, that will impact her defiant attitude. I suspect that, if it doesn't, nothing will.

[orangecrush]

56. I read she had already gone to the "hole"

Solitary confinement.

I gather you have to try really hard to get that in a low security women's prison.

[soldierant]

67. I'm sure that's correct.

Some years ago, after the head of our DOC had been shot by a former inmate, his replacement (whom a lot of people had been worried about since the murdered guy had been so good) spent 24 hours in solitary himself so he would know what it was like - and use it appropriately. So I don't doubt one would have to work to get into it here.

[orangecrush]

69. It may have been

Because they received threats from nuts that said they were going to break her out by force.

That actually happened.

[soldierant]

71. Yes, I heard that too.

Most likely pardoned JAn6-ers. So Trumpian.I wouldn't put it past him to senf the FBI for that.

[nwduke]

55. Before her arrest

she was on camera acting as privileged obnoxious “you can’t touch me” crook! Now, trump the felon “can’t touch her”! 😂Throw away the key!

[oasis]

61. "Don't do the CRIME". Have you got it yet lady?

[orangecrush]

64. Beautifully eloquent

Takedown of the entire MAGA by this judge.
