Former prosecutor pursued by Trump calls for crackdown on election lies: ‘Lying can be held to account’

Andrew Weissmann argues for new law to hold political liars like US president accountable for harming democracy

The Guardian

Mike Johnson thinks the Congressional salary is too low and he wants us to "have some sympathy." I'll give him the same advice he and other corrupt elites give working people suffering on $7.25/hour:
•Get a Second job at $7.25/hour
•Go to college with an 8% loan
•Stop buying avocado toast
•Split rent on a studio apt
•Move in w/your parents
•”Find something new”
•Make coffee at home
•Learn to code

Be Best!

The thing is, Trump is winning. Republicans are winning. Yeah, they fuck up sometimes and it isn't as fast as they want, but on the whole, they are getting everything they want. Because there is no one fighting for us. Because people insist on trying to beat them at a rigged game.

Yet another entry from the“you’ve got to be shitting me” files:

Gov. #JaredPolis, a #Democrat 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻, commuted the sentence of Peters, a former county clerk serving a 9-year sentence for her role in a plot to tamper with voting machines after the #2020election.

Tina Peters, Colorado Election Denier, Will Be Freed by Gov. Jared Polis

Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, commuted the sentence of Ms. Peters, a former county clerk serving a nine-year sentence for her role in a plot to examine voting machines after the 2020 election.

The New York Times

BREAKING: Trump grants clemency to to former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was found guilty of four felonies related to election fraud in 2020 election. Sentenced to 9 years, she'll serve 2 & be released June 1.

CORRECTION

Colorado Democratic governor Jared Polis has granted clemency to Peters. Yes, seriously.

And this is why Centrist corporate Democrats are insufferable and should be voted out permanently. Who needs MAGA fascists when Corporate Democrats do the dirty work for them. smh.

To all the people constantly in my mentions "WhAt dO yOu eXpEct DemOcrAts tO dOoO!!!"

Let's start here:
1. Not pardon convicted felons who committed election fraud to help Trump win
2. Not take a trifecta Dem government in VA and appeal to a MAGA SCOTUS
3. Not take money from AIPAC and Corporate PACS who also fund MAGA Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election

THESE ARE NOT HIGH BARS TO CLEAR, AND CENTRIST CORPORATE DEMS CONTINUE TO FAIL AT EVERY SINGLE TERM. It is indefensible.

It took Republicans:
•40 years but they gutted the EPA
•50 years but they repealed Roe v Wad
•60 years but they gutted the VRA

All three are wildly popular policies with the American people. Republicans don't care. Gutted them anyway. Point is, any Democrat running for office for anything short of revolutionary change to the status quo should just stay home. We need a political revolution, not centrist cowardice.
