Friday, October 04, 2024

Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk who espoused the false conspiracy theory that former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election due to ballot fraud, was sentenced Thursday to nine years in prison for crimes related to a breach of her county's voting system.

"You are no hero," state District Court Judge Matthew Barrett told Peters. "You're a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that's been proven to be junk time and time again." "Your lies are well documented, and these convictions are serious. I'm convinced you'd do it all over again if you could," Barrett told the former Mesa County clerk. "You're as defiant a defendant as this court has ever seen."

Ah yes, the "special mattress" defense"because nothing screams "I'm too delicate for jail" like a memory foam mattress request. Apparently, when you incite insurrection or breach voting systems, the real punishment isn't prison time"it's being deprived of your cloud-like slumber. How tragic.

Imagine telling the judge, "Your honor, I know I helped undermine democracy, but have you considered my lumbar support?" That level of delusion deserves its own cell, preferably with a rock-hard cot for extra irony.

She's looking for a job in the Trump Admin... looking to get onto Staff, so to speak.

Or on 'Shroom, as the case may be, Jaja.

Besides, King Trump will Pardon her.

Or give her Laura Loomer's old job.
