Election Denier Will Go To Prison for Trump

-

Tina Peters, a public servant found guilty of trying to tamper with vote counting machines in Colorado, will go to prison for Trump in October. 

Tina Peters will be sentenced on 3 October, two days before the presidential election for attempting to tamper with voting machines after the 2020 election. If she goes to prison, she will be sacrificing her life for Donald Trump, a man terrified of what is waiting for him in prison.

12 August 2024 Verdict

A Colorado jury found Tina Peters, a former Mesa County Clerk, guilty of seven of 10 counts related to, a 2021 breach of the Mesa County election system. She was convicted of three counts of:

1. Attempting to influence a public official

2. Conspiracy to attempt criminal impersonation

3. Official misconduct

4. Violation of duty

5. Failure to comply with an order of the Secretary of State 

Tina Peters was a public servant but she believed Donald Trump’s lie that he won the 2020 election and that some how, machines that count ballots were also responsible for ‘robbing’ Trump. Tina Peters turned off cameras in the room with the machines and let in another Trump supporter, to copy information from hard drives.

The Colorado Attorney General’s office summarized her criminal activities in simple English. “She was not protecting the election integrity. The defendant was the fox guarding the hen house. She used her power for her own advantage.”

Tina Peters will be sentenced on 3 October.

Elections And Political Bullies

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
