Steve Bannon's podcast denying the 2020 election results and claiming that Democrats will cheat again in the mid-terms and in 2028.
Governor Polis made a mistake by commuting her sentence, she has zero remorse for her crimes.

(9,382 posts)Yeah, I know, Trump and Company threaten withholding federal dollars to states who's governors don't bend over, but damn... Take them to court, or take lessons from IL Governor JB Pritzker on how to stand up and win against bullies.

(134,477 posts)we all agree, jared should TELL us what krasnov is doing. And, if he is being personally blackmailed, the relevant scene from "The Distinguished Gentleman" comes to mind.

(264 posts)My first response was righteous anger, I have since taken a step back. Jared traded Peters for 50 million dollars. This state needed those dollars and no longer has to feed and house this idiot. Colorado won.

(6,270 posts)It reinforces the idea that only the rich deserve justice. And only the rich define Justice.
We went through this with Whitmer and Newsom. If Trump is extorting governors they need to stand up to him.
Selling out democracy is OK with you if the pay off is sufficiently large?

(23,832 posts)NEW: Tina Peters, newly freed by Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D), begins her MAGA media tour by telling Steve Bannon that Democrats are cheating on elections and she was imprisoned as retribution for exposing voting machines that flip votes.

(955 posts)Im usually not a doomsayer, but I fear that the end result of this election denying/rigging, if not stopped by late 2028, will be the catalyst for a second Civil War. I have no idea how to stop it, but if war ensues, we ALL lose.

(760 posts)Democrat leaning counties and states produce 60 to 70% of the U.S. economy yet it seems like they are constantly being dominated in the political arena, and that won't be sustainable or acceptable forever.

(2,339 posts)Trump put his losing tail right between his sorry-ass legs, and skedaddled out of DC. Would not have done that if he thought he had won. He lost, lost, lost, lost...

(26,732 posts)It seems weird they only cheated while Trump was president and his own FBI failed to discover any evidence of said cheating...
So weird.

Republicans don't complain about being elected in a crooked election.

(3,706 posts)She gave Mike Lindell's man unsupervised access to Mesa County EVMs. They said to prove the big lie when they got caught. There was more this one incident. Mike Lindell testified in court that he bought a computer program to hack elections. His men just got access to look at the data and not install the computer program, sure.

I am waiting to see if Polios backs Bennet in the Governors race, and in turn Bennet lets Polis serve out the rest of Bennets U.S. Senate Term........

(5,355 posts)Polis commuted Tina Peters sentence, he didnt pardon her. That means shes still a convicted felon and wont be able to hold office in Colorado again because her felony was one for violating the public trust. Supposedly shes too ill to run anyway although I dont see evidence of that.
She served a quarter of her 9 year sentence and the reality is she would have been eligible for parole next year. I think the commutation sends a horrible message and I wonder how many other people in Colorados prisons were at least as deserving, if not more so but didnt get any consideration. What Polis did was fundamentally unfair because there was no rationale for the decision that couldnt be applied to a lot more people.

She's that. She'll do it again. If she's THAT old and that had ANYTHING to do with this shit ass decision by Polis? May the blood clot win quickly.
