In at present’s episode of Trump Is A Liar And A Moron Who Has Surrounded Himself With Mendacity Morons, President Donald Trump and his MAGA-fied Division of Justice are nonetheless — greater than 5 years later — making an attempt to persuade America that the 2020 presidential race was stolen from the man who, in all honesty, seems to be depressing now that he’s president in 2025.
Whereas the DOJ is submitting lawsuits in opposition to states for — oh, I don’t know — operating free and honest elections that didn’t produce the outcomes Trump needed, Trump is out right here claiming he’ll concern a “full pardon” to a girl convicted of state prices associated to 2020 election interference.
Y’all, the president of america doesn’t understand how elections work or that the federal government workplace has no energy to pardon state-level convictions.
Idiocracy was a premonition, not a movie.
From ABC Information:
President Donald Trump claimed that he’s granting a “full pardon” to Tina Peters, a former Mesa County, Colorado, clerk who was sentenced to 9 years on state-level prices associated to election interference in the course of the 2020 election.
Peters was convicted in August 2024 for giving a person affiliated with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Trump ally, entry to the election software program she used for her county. Screenshots of the software program appeared on right-wing web sites that promoted false theories that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
Nevertheless, the president doesn’t have jurisdiction over state prices, and Colorado officers are pushing again, contending that the president’s promise of a pardon is unconstitutional. Trump’s announcement, which he made on social media Thursday, now possible units up a authorized battle for Peters, who has been looking for a pardon from Trump.
Regardless of President Trump’s repeated assertions that the election was rigged, there have been no confirmed instances of main fraud that affected the end result.
Trump has repeatedly known as for Peters to be launched from her nine-year sentence, and on Thursday night time mentioned on social media that he was “granting Tina a full Pardon for her makes an attempt to show Voter Fraud within the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election!”
“Tina is sitting in a Colorado jail for the ‘crime’ of demanding Trustworthy Elections,” he mentioned.
No, Tina Peters is sitting in a Colorado jail as a result of she broke election legal guidelines, which, by the way, is what the DOJ is accusing 4 states and one locality of on the federal stage.
In a press launch revealed Friday, the DOJ introduced that its civil rights division “has filed federal lawsuits in opposition to 4 states — Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Nevada — for failure to provide their statewide voter registration lists upon request.”
“This brings the Justice Division’s nationwide whole to 18,” the DOJ continued, implying that it had already wasted 14 different states’ time with this nonsense. “The Civil Rights Division can also be suing one locality — Fulton County, Georgia — for information associated to the 2020 election.”
However why, although?
Why should DOJ officers spend each waking second following behind Trump and mirroring his delusions? Throughout his first time period, they weren’t like this. That Division of Justice instructed him there was no proof of a rigged election, as did the lawyer normal, the head of election cybersecurity, and dozens of judges throughout decrease courts, appellate courts, and supreme courts, lots of whom made it clear to Trump then that he has no authority to dictate to particular person states how they need to conduct their elections.
“States have the statutory obligation to protect and shield their constituents from vote dilution,” mentioned Assistant Lawyer Common Harmeet Okay. Dhillon of the Justice Division’s Civil Rights Division. “At this Division of Justice, we won’t allow states to jeopardize the integrity and effectiveness of elections by refusing to abide by our federal elections legal guidelines. If states won’t fulfill their obligation to guard the integrity of the poll, we are going to.”
Whether or not or not the DOJ truly has the authorized authority to demand that any state hand over its election information on command, the federal government is clearly placing the cart earlier than the horse on the general concern at hand. What proof has Trump, the GOP, or both of his administrations ever supplied that anybody’s vote was ever at risk of “dilution” in 2020, or that the “integrity and effectiveness of elections” was ever even in query in any state? What proof have they proven that the “integrity of the poll” wants defending from anybody however Republican propagandists?
Y’all, we’re speaking a couple of authorities that doesn’t understand how the federal government works. That’s why the president thinks he can concern a state pardon, and the Division of Justice doesn’t know sufficient concerning the legislation to realize and even discern justice.
It’s so dumb out right here in these MAGA streets.
So dumb.
