Very interesting.

“Trust me, he’s a criminal.” says Blunderful PP.

I’m just quoting the article. Sounds like you have more to add, care to comment on what IS ‘the real factor’?

ok. And actions taken by Tina Peters are also destructive to society. Do you think my repeating that ‘pithy line’ is anywhere near as bad as the crimes that Tina Peters has been convicted of? It seems like you are hung up on this one line, and ignoring Peters’ crimes, which are the subject of OP’s post. Would it make you happier to make another post about the horrible nature of the private prison system in the US? It certainly would be more effective in furthering your goal of bringing attention to the problems posed by private prisons.

She did the crime, has no remorse, and would probably do it again. Read what the Justice Barrett had to say about her.

And yeah, it’s a stupid pithy line, but it applies to her. I’m not talking, nor was OP talking about the unjust nature of private prisons, which is well known and in need of fixing. You’ve tried to muddy the waters, by bringing up the ‘private, for profit, corporate prisons’, which is another unrelated but none the less extremely serious problem in the US today.

Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time.

edit: 9 Years, Tina, makes me wonder how you will justify the enormous harm you did. You’ll be around 77, and long forgotten by your supporters by the time you emerge from incarceration. smh

The Details: "Judge says “prison is the only place” for Tina Peters, who remained defiant even as she asked the court for probation " Former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters was sentenced Thursday to nine years behind bars by a judge who labeled her a “charlatan” for her role in a 2021 breach of her own county’s election system.

“Your lies are well-documented and these convictions are serious,” he said. “I am convinced you would do it all over again. You are as defiant a defendant as this court has ever seen.” He added that the damage she caused is “unmeasurable.”

Barrett also called out Peters for lying when she demonstrated her infamous videotaped attempt to kick a police officer in 2022. That incident had nothing to do with her trial, but she included it in a litany of lies she said were part of the case against her.

She bent over and kicked a leg in the air to show how having her arm pulled had caused that involuntary movement. Barrett called that assertion “preposterous.” There was tittering throughout the courtroom over her demonstration.

I’m pretty sure we could all have quite reasonably expected rising costs, destruction of science, frittering of international standing, increased morbidity and mortality, etc.

"The US tariffs imposed on China on 1 August 2025, played a substantial role in the increase in DRAM prices. " DJT say he gonna lower prices on day one. NOPE.

Que Viva Elbakyan! It works pretty well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=sci-hub&ia=web

Don’t discourage him. Splitting the maga vote is a wonderful thing, to be encouraged.

And point, and laugh. Ridicule IS the Way!

Just for the record: “Texas city” = Arlington, TX. It’s located about 1/2 way between Dallas and Fort Worth. Population 394,266 in 2020. Part of the D-FW Complex, “Throughout Dallas–Fort Worth, there is a large lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Since 2005, DFW has constituted one of the largest LGBT communities in Texas.[1][2][3][4]” First Gay Pride Parade in 1980. So they are attempting to reverse / erase 45 years of history.

Well, ok, if you insist.

Well that’s kind of encouraging. Keep pushing friends!

AFAIK, It’s typical of photos from that time - 2016-2020. And yeah, he’s real, and a real problem. But really only the figurehead at the top of the iceberg.

Also regards OP’s post, loss of strength, and dexterity of one’s hands correlates with age, loss of strength, and decline of cognitive function in the elderly. Perhaps you’ve experienced shaking hands with someone who is in their 70s, 80s. Compare that to someone in their 20s, 30s. It’s been my experience which correlates with what I’ve been taught about the effects of aging globally, that those who are older compensate with a rigid/ stiff strength where they have loss of neural feedback. This doesn’t just effect motor function, it also demonstrates an effect on cognitive function.

A friend, in reference to this, used the phrase “plastic people”. Sigh, they really are. Remember those photos of trump trying to stand like a normal human being, and failing?

Is it possible he has never flipped a coin, nor ever seen someone flip a coin, that he really doesn’t understand the basic intuitive physics behind “flipping” a coin? smh

I wish Marge the best of luck in this endeavor.

WRT your first question: Yes.

I guess Stevens should just sit on her hands? What are you suggesting as a better course of action? She was elected to do things. And if she does something you criticize. And I expect if she does nothing you will do the same. smh
