Judge Receives Threats After Sentencing Election Denier

Monday, October 07, 2024

A rural Colorado county courthouse beefed up security Friday after threats were made against staff and a judge who sentenced former county clerk Tina Peters to nearly nine years behind bars and admonished her for her role in a data breach scheme catalyzed by the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

Of course the judge received threats. An entirely expected outcome. MAGA really is ready for the dissolution of democracy. Afterwards, and this is really quite funny, they think that they will be free.

Violence and threats of violence are a feature of Trump's cult. So many of the have succeeded in morphing into what they yearned to be all along: Brownshirts.

" Afterwards, and this is really quite funny, they think that they will be free."

Haitians wanted freedom too, without the rule of law gangs and private militias tske over. During the American Civil War white men who refused to fight to allow rich white men to own slaves wre hung.MAGAfreaks wanting Civil War have absolutely bo real idea what that would mean even for themselves and their families.

Well, if and when Trump loses and he faces two or three federal felony trials, I would expect he would call for disruption on a major scale...Dictators don'.t like anyone else but them being in charge.
And if he wins, the judiciary will be in even greater danger, as he will have his gang running the DOJ and the Department of Defense, and the Department of Education...

HUGH

Trump just wants to reduce the Dept. of Education down to the size of a thimble. Somebody has to be sitting at a desk to order and pay (with taxpayer money) for all those fake leather-bound Bibles from Trump's new Bible printing company at $300 a pop. The Governor of Oklahoma already has a pending order in for thousands of copies for Oklahoma classrooms.

@#7 ... Election machine data should be open to inspection ...

I agree. However the type of inspection should be read-only and shown in a manner that protects the integrity of the data. Not, e.g., by giving out the access passwords to the voting machines.

Open to inspection by whom? You mean like those Cyber Ninja idiots and their partners who caused Maricopa county to have to buy new equipment? And depsite allll the bluster found no evidence? Or that blabber mouth pillow biter who has to pay up after being proved wrong on his claims?

Please. There is a process. There are requirements to be met. If they are not sufficient CHANGE THE LAW. But nooooo, all we get was because Trump was smoked it has to be fraud.

The problem is Nixon....violence and lies might win.
Latest polls, neck and neck again in the Electoral College.

This nation is teetering on the knife's edge of a 'Majority Moron,
Majority Deplorable Nation'.
