On the topic, that's an excessive punishment. This would be a good opportunity for Biden to pardon her. There. I'm the first person that posted an actual solution instead of using the situation to play petty games.

Smart Dumb Nikka babble. :mjlol:

You aren't even intelligent enough to know that a President can't pardon an individual for a State conviction, so no one is going to take anything else you have to say seriously.

Have you pondered the Supreme Court recently.

They have like 20 more years as a 6-3 conservative majority.

If the politics would have cut differently and we would have been able to keep it majority liberal, then you might not see them overturn Roe or whatever deviltry they come up with.

If we sit back and watch, all kinds of changes will be made that affect you directly

Different elected officials in this woman's area may have had a very different outcome here.

You think we don't understand the concept of putting pressure on the Democratic politicians by not voting.

But we do understand that. What you don't get is: them several years of just letting the Repubs do whatever they like may result in us not ever being able to use voting as a tool again in the future

You think letting Trump win in 24 will have a positive effect. But in reality they will just dismantle the voting mechanism altogether.

And here you go in 2028

"Okay NOW I'm ready to vote cause MAGA ain't so Great after all"

By then it's too late.

This perfect world where you don't budge from principle is in your mind only. The real universe requires pragmatism. Being realistic.

America is on the verge of a fascist dictatorship with these GOP politicians having lifetime rule and eliminating voting, and these posters who are the lease educated on government and the branches of it, have the loudest voices. :heh:

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
Props to Rachel Maddow for covering this story. Idk how this isn't a bigger story.

TLDR: Felon, kept on voter rolls, PO said its ok to vote, registers to vote, never actually votes, Republican DA and judge try to make an example out of her as proof there is a voter fraud epidemic, sentenced to 6 years in prison.



Read this thread from Sam Levine for case details -->









free her.

This is more outrageous than that trucker getting 100 years in an accident

That’s why I just shrug my shoulders. To me, local/mid term elections have far more consequences than the presidential. Too many cities with a majority of black folk shouldn’t allow this happen, but we can’t as a whole get on code. That’s why I gave up. :yeshrug:
I feel the same way. Whatever happens to a just going to happen:yeshrug: Then people think they can protest their way out of stuff. They don’t even care about that anymore.

Because, a city and county has districts like a state does. By the way, he was first appointed to his first judgeship by former Democratic governor Phil Bredesen. His judgeship is a countywide, not citywide election. Second, judgeships in Shelby County are nonpartisan meaning there’s no primary to weed out candidates.

The DA bytch is a Republican appointed by Bill Haslam and beat Joe Brown in her last election. I remember that election because he claimed she ate cooch.

=====

Read a little more info on this case, she has prior convictions for forgery and tampering of evidence. That's probably what's fukking her in her current case. Second, the judge says he'll release her after six months good behavior and change her sentencing to probation. The district he's judge in is 70%/23% black/white. He was reelected overwhelming over a black candidate.

This

I swear these Shills are political ignorant.

Unfortunately, she got one of the Conversative Judges and not one the majority Liberal Judges in Shelby County.
