The Hill

Quote:

President Trump on Thursday re-upped his call for Colorado to free Tina Peters, a state election official who was convicted of multiple felonies after breaching voting equipment in the 2020 election, warning he would take “harsh measures” if she is not released.

“FREE TINA PETERS, a brave and innocent Patriot who has been tortured by Crooked Colorado politicians, including the big Mail-In Ballot supporting the governor of the State,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Let Tina Peters out of jail, RIGHT NOW.”

He continued, “She did nothing wrong, except catching the Democrats cheat in the Election. She is an old woman, and very sick. If she is not released, I am going to take harsh measures!! !”
Trump did not specify what those measures would be but has in the past threatened to withhold funding from other states and jurisdictions if they do not align with his policies.

Peters, a former Mesa County clerk, was found guilty by a jury in 2024 on seven counts, including four felonies, for helping to facilitate access to the county’s voting equipment in search of voter fraud that she and her allies were unable to prove following the 2020 election.

Fascism succeeds only when people knuckle under. Colorado must stand firm with this conviction.

His whole philosophy is like an ever-expanding onion - but hollow - because it's rotten on the inside - made of lies and fabrications.

All I see is 75 million people who thought it would be a good idea to put him back as president. It's not like they didn't know he instigated people like tina Peters (or several thousand others to overthrow Biden in a coup) when he lost in 2020.

Sounds like he's on the hunt for the next place to send the military.

In that case, there's no denying our democracy is at an end.

US technically didn't become a democracy until 1965 (I don't need to spell out why). It stopped being a democracy in 2015 when 14,015,993 republicans chose to appoint a known fascist to lead their party.

that's 50 years of democracy.

Our republic is not dead yet but its grave is being dug.

It certainly feels this way from my perspective also.
