You know, “Looney Tunes” had a great instrumental intro … something to look into, Donald.

Somewhere in the Warner Brothers vault there must be a film of Trump and Peters being mocked in one of those cartoons. 😜

I would assume a prison will be able to hold off a mob of fanatics - especially given I don't think the allegedly hard done by Peters has the same drawing power of the allegedly hard done by Trump did in 2020.

But this business of claiming the ability to pardon for state crimes is real amateur stuff. Has this man no brains or no shame? I'm coming to suspect he has very little of the former and none at all of the latter.

In 2020, in majority "conservative" Mesa County CO, Trump won the popular vote by a large margin. Trump, 56,894 votes (62.78%) vs Biden, 31,536 (34.80%). Election irregularities that led to a Trump win?

She violated bond conditions by travelling out of state and then came back to CO to hide with the help of Mike Lindell in Pitkin County (Aspen). Where she was later arrested in a Lindell controlled Aspen luxury hidey hole.

She is not a fine person.

And I wonder if Tina Peters makes an appearance in Jack Smith’s investigations….

“All of which is to say that Trump’s fake pardon of a grifting weirdo is very funny. And also … not funny at all.”

Just like everything these MAGA clowns do, funny not funny.

That’s funny that Peters is rejecting a call for a jail break. ☺️ Thanks, Liz. ☺️☺️☺️

Maybe after reading Trump’s description of Peters, she’s decided she doesn’t need any favors from him. 🙄

I heard the Judge (in real time) as he sentenced Tina Peters to 9 years in prison. He had never encountered anyone more guilty and more deserving of a prison sentence. He described her as totally without remorse about the state crimes she committed and so self-centered that she expected special privileges (including a "magnetic mattress," whatever that is) if imprisoned.

She broke the law in attempt to overturn an election, and she deserves to stay in prison for her entire term. Trump can whine and proclaim all he wants. He cannot legally pardon her.
