maximinus_thrax commented on Trump vows to target mail-in ballots ahead of midterm election   reuters.com/world/us/trum... · Posted by u/achristmascarl

As a Colorado resident, I've looked into mail in ballots. There's no real issue here. This is just another Republican thing, stirring up a moral panic over something with zero real evidence. We've seen this time and again from conservatives over the years. Time to stop accepting that these mini moral panics are done in good faith.

This is about creating a moral panic. That ship has sailed back in 2020. This is a calculated move towards voter suppression. The playbook is that an overgrown ICE could be used to 'police' the polling stations and discourage brown people from voting, if mail-in voting is challenged and states bend the knee to cheeto. I'm not worried about traditional blue states, but purple states may be just enough to tip the scales at the midterms. I don't think the country realizes how big of an error the 2024 elections were...

The article says he was suspected of hate crime assault. Then the police has a duty to act.

Edit: While I said "duty" I meant that I really hope the that the police investigate all allegations of hate crime assault properly.

The police has absolutely no duty to act whatsoever. See Warren v. District of Columbia.

Hillsdale College is the type of institution that propagates the big lie: https://dc.hillsdale.edu/News-and-Events/News/Mollie-Hemingw...

Garbage in, garbage out.

As per tradition, just your regular Russian election interference, right on election day.

BTW, both candidates were conservatives.

This is a blatant fluff piece for Telegram, so let me even the playing field:

- https://theconversation.com/telegram-why-the-app-is-allowed-...

- https://kremlingram.org/en/dangers/

- https://archive.is/kNnDk

And lastly, hot off the presses, happened hours ago, Durov, following the Russian tradition, tried to influence the Romanian presidential elections right on election day by spamming Telegram users https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/telegram-founder-says-h...

For the record, 'conservative voices' is a dog whistle for batshit rightwing bullshit, as both presidential candidates are conservatives.

>So if you owned a small shop and a bunch of hoods came in and said "nice shop, pity if it should catch fire accidentally" you would do whatever they told you to do?

No, that's why Russia finally acted in the response to the NATO expansion and the revolutions "mid-wifed" by the US.

NATO is not an empire and did not 'expand'. Countries willingly voted to join. Latest examples being Finland and Sweden, as a response for actual Russian expansion.

You can't defeat a country that has an arsenal of megadeath.
maximinus_thrax · 4 months ago
lol. America has an arguably more effective arsenal and has already been defeated.

I just read the complaint. What’s the problem? Was the administrative warrant invalid? According to the complaint, the agents didn’t enter the courtroom, but rather waited in the hall, where they were approached by the judge. If the judge directed the defendant to a back door never used by defendants not in custody, that’s clearly obstruction.

I'm fairly certain that a sitting judge who's a former president of the bar association knows the law better than you or me or Crack Patel and is more aware of the legal ramifications than random armchair lawyers.

From my personal armchair, this will go nowhere, the accusation has no basis. Something similar happened before and the charges were dropped. This was just an attempt to intimidate the judiciary. I hope the SCOTUS is happy with the monster they created.
