That cannot happen, unfortunately. He is a white male conservative.
How about 5 years in prison? Or is he too white, male, and Republican for that?
It should be five if he did it once. It should be 9x5 for him.
Every accusation, a confession.
Gaslight. Obstruct. Project.
$5,375.14!? Jesus Christ. How could a politician ever financially recover from that?
art source : the Georgia GOP’s first vice chairman, violated state election laws by voting while on probation for forgery and other felonies,
Where the fuck do they find these people? It's like Republicans are intentionally lampooning themselves.
"Basket of deplorables" ~ Hillary Clinton
"Hold my beer" ~ Republicans
5000$?
They put a woman in prison over this and she didn't even intend to illegally vote.
She should have tried being a white male instead.
Republicans are soft on crime
She just won her appeal and they threw out the sentence
Though she did also have to go through 6 years of appeals and hearings, legal costs, and spent some time in jail too. While she was in jail for a few months I believe she almost lost her house. She went through a whole trial and a jury even convicted her, it took an appeals court to over ride the jury verdict saying the jury erred. It's pretty ridiculous that all that happened after just a provisional ballot was cast and the election worker told her she was eligible. Prosecutors obviously had a political agenda here.
It took 6 years of worry that a 5 year sentence would be handed down... fully broken Judicial system here in the US and I don't see any solution other than ....
Yeah but she was a commoner.
She was black.
Gotta make sure they don't get all uppity.
She specifically asked if she could vote, they told her yes, then she still cast a provisional ballot just in case, then she was sent to prison for voting illegally.
Of. Fucking. Course.
And theyre still the minority party.
And again, every accusation is a confession.
It’s not even funny anymore.
The republican party is so easily summed up as "the laddie doth protest too much"
1% evil, 99% projection.
99% evil 99% projection. They can exist simultaneously.
