As has been stated many times now -- except for the fact that she didn't actually label it as being officially endorsed by a current presidential campaign, which is illegal, always has been illegal, and breaks long standing campaign finance/campaign laws.
It's absolutely no different than if you would have taken out a television ad even 20+ years ago during an election cycle and at the end of that TV ad you put the same "officially approved by" or "paid for by" label as every other genuine ad, but without actually having the endorsement.... You would have been arrested for that as well....
I really don't understand how people can't see the difference there, that the only person that has been arrested for a meme is the only person shown so far to have actually labeled what they put out as being officially endorsed by a presidential campaign the same way that all official campaign ads have to be labeled.... That is the only part that made what he did illegal if he hadn't labeled it like that he could have made memes saying whatever the hell he wanted, just like everybody else does....
Edit - downvoting something just because you don't want to hear it is a very redditor thing to do.... If you think I'm incorrect then, by all means, prove me wrong.
They have ramped up the propaganda about "trumpism". Insurrection, protecting the capital... now going exaggeration about the meme implies Trump stole his election with non Russian support.
Dude, I’ve seen you comment this everywhere, but you still haven’t responded to my question. What law says it’s illegal? How is pretending to be you be any different than pretending to be a candidate, legally speaking. The presidential candidate has a right to sue for the misuse of their likeness. Show me the law that corroborates the FBIs claim that he was stealing people’s right to vote.
They don't have such a law. They,'re hitting him with a general law about trying to deny civil rights... a law that should / could also be used against thousands of democrats... but isnt.
Thank you. Dick lick above is trying to convince all the pedes that this guys memes were uniquely dangerous to democracy and that the FBI is “just doing their jobs” nobly. I’m starting to think Dick Lick glows. Most trannies and shills at least try to weakly defend their arguments. I’ve never seen them defend the FBI and go quiet, unless...
You're right. I don't think there is a law on the issue. But both sides are misrepresenting the facts. Giving out false information to attempt to get stupid people to not vote, which the post clearly was, is malicious, is not a meme and should be discouraged (ie: legal reprecussions) I don't have any solutions, but I fucking hate the "it's just a meme" meme and know it works against honest public discourse
You are assuming the intent was to get stupid people not to vote, but you don't know that. The link didn't go anywhere did it? No. A malicious attempt to get people not to vote would have made them think they had actually voted.
It was, in fact, just a meme. I'll tell you what is malicious, though. This prosecution.
I agree with you as well. It was certainly more than “just a meme”, but it is also way less than felonious deprivation of people’s right to vote. If there’s laws about impersonating politicians or candidates, then he should be charged with that. Making deliberately misleading claims about voting is kind of the entire campaign promise.
Biden PROMISED $2k stimulus checks immediately if the dems won the GA runoff. They’ve now been sworn in. He stole votes by misrepresenting the candidates to the voters. Is that not the same crime? Does it not require the same amount of hurdles.
I don’t disagree that some (lesser) punishment is befitting this guy, but when 100% of the prosecutions are leveled at groups responsible for an infinitesimally amount of election fraud, it’s pure political persecution, even if the parties are actually guilty.
I’d be fine with this guy going to jail if dems were going to jail for their crimes. This isn’t about law and order, this is about eviscerating the conservative movement.
Hey, stop ignoring me. What law? The FBI charged him with stealing people’s right to vote. Please tell me how faking an endorsement broke any law related to people’s rights to vote. I don’t have to prove you wrong, you should spend a minute amount of your wall of text proving yourself right. SHOW US THE LAW, especially if you’re trying to convince this whole community that this memer from 2016 deserved to be arrested now.
Let me edit that, however, and comment. If there was fine print as being "officially endorsed" on one but not the other, are NOT the FBI and those authorities charging (targeting) one side ASSUMING that those shit for brains who would actually think you can text your vote in ALSO those same people concurrently would or could pay attention to the (or be swayed by) fine endorsement print?
As in: "Text your vote in. I approve this message." Oh, this is fine.
as opposed to
"Text your vote in." Oh, this is satire. Just a meme.
That is a mighty fine line there with such lines always seemingly going against one side.
SOME ORGANIZATIONS ARE JUST TOO CORRUPT TO REPAIR. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT IT THAT EVEN REMOTELY RESEMBLES ITS ORIGINAL INTENTION. TIME TO TEAR IT DOWN.
WHY WOULD WE WANT TO PAY TRAITORS TO DESTROY US AND OUR COUNTRY USING OUR TAX DOLLARS FOR EVEN ONE MORE DAY?
No, not stupid, she’s had what? 37yrs to learn and run the game, but she is a criminal elitist snob and slush AND the worst part is she still lets her emotions show- all of her wannabe “Ann Richards” smart ass remarks miss the target cause the delivery reeks of pissed off overcompensation. She’s at her best when she speaks declarative statements so outrageous I underestimated her intentions. But,I’m on to her code now.
Nobody's gonna do more than shake some signs at that issue. Well maybe there'll be some whining too but yeah the country's pretty much getting thrown in the wood chipper without even a struggle.
Matt Walsh is a NeverTrump who is fine with us being harassed and bullied by Dems in Dem controlled cities to prevent meaningful observation of ballot counting and who is not only fine with certifying a fraudulent election, but did everything he could to help get Biden in the White House.
Whatever he says now is only because he wants to PRETEND TO OPPOSE Dem policies.
I dunno... I don't think the potential collapse of a dozen mutual funds is just some silly distraction. Plus, I get annoyed at the small brained goldfish that can't handle 2 things happening at the same time.
Thousands of different things are going on everyday. 2 should be child's play.
FBI grabbed him for being at the Capital Jan 6 - alleged insurrection. apparently his lefty family members turned him in? They're just persecuting the good guys
I just read another story about family turning in loved ones to the FBI. Mom got punched in the schnoz by a cop, arrested, fired off 15 years on the job, and beaten up online by her lesbian daughter who can't believe Mom doesn't see what she did wrong. Again trying to compare 1/6 to blm riots.
Their last name being Duke doesn't stir my sympathies but I doubt they're any relation to David.
Damn Matt, maybe you should have been trying to get peoples attention about the election fraud during the election. But I guess that’s too spicy for him.
Text "Hillary" to a number to vote for her, don't bother standing in line. Feds say that it shouldn't have had the text claiming it was an official ad.
So could 4,900 lost votes for HRC, have cost her the election? I doubt it. President Trump had (I'm guessing) 1 to 2 Million (possibly more) that were stolen & ultimately cost him the election, and that's just fine. So messed up.
A state government in Wisconsin is trying to throw a guy in prison for the rest of his life for defending himself against people trying to do him serious bodily harm.
I mean, this whole stonk war may prove to be the best chance we've ever had to blow the lid. If the regime's legitimacy evaporates, we win, right? If they can't control the market anymore, they can't control anything.
I would use the nyt excuse.
It was an opinion piece.
Or cnn that lied and exaggerated and took sections of tweets out of context to turn people's opinions agianst a candidate there for taking their right to an informed vote.
Propaganda is just that no matter who was using it.
Ps:CHYYINA VIRUS.
totalitarian regime, they are coming, like they said they would, after all the conservatives and republicans. time for us to go to DC again to peacably protest corruption and totalitarism. Who wants to go?
Trump won in a landslide. Where's the GOP, law enforcement, the military, the courts, the three-letter demons, etc on this? Everything else pales in comparison to our country being forcibly occupied.
The real truth about the dude is he got people to vote by text message. He’s going to prison for e
Voter fraud. Don’t let MSM spin this into something else.
And that Democrat liberal Asian "comedian" posted the EXACT SAME meme only aimed at Trump voters. NOT ARRESTED BY THE FBI SWAT TEAM YET!!!!!
Unfair treatment. Unequal treatment under the law. Blatant double standards. Systemic hypocrisy. If you complain you are a domestic extremist.
As has been stated many times now -- except for the fact that she didn't actually label it as being officially endorsed by a current presidential campaign, which is illegal, always has been illegal, and breaks long standing campaign finance/campaign laws.

Edit - downvoting something just because you don't want to hear it is a very redditor thing to do.... If you think I'm incorrect then, by all means, prove me wrong.
I see what your are saying. OK
Can you address this: why did our FBI wait 4 & 1/2 years to go after this guy? Can you speculate on that?
Because the letter of the law will be enforced against thee, not against me.
Because big brother is going to intimidate you NOW. Much more effective now. No dissent, now.
Probably because Biden is president (no longer eligible for a pardon from Trump) and Trump is banned so he can’t speak out against it on social media.
They have ramped up the propaganda about "trumpism". Insurrection, protecting the capital... now going exaggeration about the meme implies Trump stole his election with non Russian support.
And on that topic, what is the statue of limitations for the charge of "exercising first amendment rights"?
Dude, I’ve seen you comment this everywhere, but you still haven’t responded to my question. What law says it’s illegal? How is pretending to be you be any different than pretending to be a candidate, legally speaking. The presidential candidate has a right to sue for the misuse of their likeness.

Then u/DickTick should be banned or shot.
We are heading towards publicly endorsing the “wrong”candidate will get you charged with criminally interfering in an election.
Wouldn't it be important to have actual damages? Like a person who was disenfranchised? Or is more of a civil considetation?
For a civil case yes. Hillary losing could be considered damages, though it’d be hard to prove it was his fault.
You're right. I don't think there is a law on the issue. But both sides are misrepresenting the facts.

It was, in fact, just a meme. I'll tell you what is malicious, though. This prosecution.
Bullshit. Anybody stupid enough to be fooled by that has no business voting in the first place.
Look at what they used against us:
laches
not enough to overturn the election
lack of standing
All of this pertains to this case, NONE of it to the election fraud in 2020
I agree with you as well. It was certainly more than “just a meme”, but it is also way less than felonious deprivation of people’s right to vote.

To be fair, complaining about downvotes is a redditor thing to do lol

They're trying to create a crime where no crime exists.
In doing so, this affords them the opportunity to come after everyone who's posted a meme that goes against their communist agenda.

And they wonder why people stormed the Capitol...
No, not stupid, she’s had what? 37yrs to learn and run the game, but she is a criminal elitist snob and slush AND the worst part is she still lets her emotions show- all of her wannabe “Ann Richards” smart ass remarks miss the target cause the delivery reeks of pissed off overcompensation. She’s at her best when she speaks declarative statements so outrageous I underestimated her intentions. But,I’m on to her code now.
Can I see the link to this meme? I missed the story.
https://patriots.win/p/11SK7JMYjZ/hey-doj-have-you-seen-this/c/
It was likely this way for a long time: selective.
Today, it just seems shamelessly blatant.
Which itself is a distraction from a blatant theft of the 2020 presidential election.
Which NeverTrump Matt Walsh is 100% AOkay with.
Nailed it *voice of Andy Bernard from the office
https://patriots.win/p/11SK7JMYjZ/hey-doj-have-you-seen-this/c/
*leftists
There is nothing liberal about these people.
True! There is a YUUGE distinction between (classical) liberalism and the scourge that is leftism now.
Please don't let this post distract us from FRAUDULENT ELECTION!
That was 3 months ago. You were decieved into holding the line when we should have been moving.
You obviously don't know what ""hold the line" means. It is a military term, fighting language.
Ah, brilliant! I've been sitting on my ass 'fighting' my whole life then!
Again, not at all what it means.
"Moving"
Nobody's gonna do more than shake some signs at that issue. Well maybe there'll be some whining too but yeah the country's pretty much getting thrown in the wood chipper without even a struggle.
Gotta love this glowie comeback.
Not sure how you could possibly know if that specific person is doing anything or not.
If your moves make the news, you messed up. Be the grit in the grease.
Matt Walsh is a NeverTrump who is fine with us being harassed and bullied by Dems in Dem controlled cities to prevent meaningful observation of ballot counting and who is not only fine with certifying a fraudulent election, but did everything he could to help get Biden in the White House.

Yup. Fuck em. I am over all the talking heads at Daily Wire. None of them stood up for Trump when it mattered most. A bunch of ducking traitors.
If not that, at the very least he’s controlled by Ben Shapiro. Not a good look these days.
A post they made 4-5 years ago they are being arrested now
I dunno... I don't think the potential collapse of a dozen mutual funds is just some silly distraction. Plus, I get annoyed at the small brained goldfish that can't handle 2 things happening at the same time.
Thousands of different things are going on everyday. 2 should be child's play.
no, if they are not smart enough to know how to properly vote, they shouldn't be voting in the first place, bunch of dumb asses
Don't forget Brandon Straka of WalkAway !!! Also falsely arrested
What happened there?
FBI grabbed him for being at the Capital Jan 6 - alleged insurrection. apparently his lefty family members turned him in? They're just persecuting the good guys
I just read another story about family turning in loved ones to the FBI. Mom got punched in the schnoz by a cop, arrested, fired off 15 years on the job, and beaten up online by her lesbian daughter who can't believe Mom doesn't see what she did wrong. Again trying to compare 1/6 to blm riots.
Their last name being Duke doesn't stir my sympathies but I doubt they're any relation to David.
He went to D.C. on January 6th and anybody caught on video or camera in D.C. during the riots is being investigated or thrown in jail.
:( Sounds fair
Damn Matt, maybe you should have been trying to get peoples attention about the election fraud during the election. But I guess that’s too spicy for him.
That’s all Matt Walsh knows how to do. He doesn’t do anything else.
Upvoted, because the first amendment is crazy important.
However, don't underestimate the importance of the GameStop deal either...
A raggle raggle band of financial shitposters have seized the most powerful people in our country by their Lordships' short and curlies.
And I'm not sure that the oligarchic institutions will survive.
DO NOT# let Congress bail out these slimy weasels.
If you don't already know what "moral hazard" is, look it up. If we don't quit indulging in it as a society, IT WILL DESTROY US.
That's a fact, Jack.
I didn’t hear about this, can someone link me to the story?
Sorry, but the two are directly related. In fact, all of this is directly related to what happened on November 3rd.
What exactly were these memes?
Text "Hillary" to a number to vote for her, don't bother standing in line. Feds say that it shouldn't have had the text claiming it was an official ad.
https://i.maga.host/QMr1VjL.png
Thank you for sending me that. So, do they have proof that people actually voted by text?
They're claiming about 4,900 people tried to text the number.
So could 4,900 lost votes for HRC, have cost her the election? I doubt it. President Trump had (I'm guessing) 1 to 2 Million (possibly more) that were stolen & ultimately cost him the election, and that's just fine. So messed up.
I don't think they're claiming it affected the outcome. Just that it was too misleading.
A state government in Wisconsin is trying to throw a guy in prison for the rest of his life for defending himself against people trying to do him serious bodily harm.
Trial in March.
WI legislators are trying to undo our Governor's mask mandate.
does anyone have a link to the video in question?
Statement from Bill Barr:
yea, it's cheap fraud but not enough to overturn the election so we won't investigate. Oops, forgot it's pro Trump, throw the bastard in jail.
Trying to remember if I forwarded the "Rs vote on Tuesday Ds vote on Wednesday" meme from 2008 or just looked at it
This is what communists look like little guy go to prison and elite like Hunter Biden get away with murder. America is changing from great to bad
Isn't there a little tiny First Amendment problem with this prosecution?
Nope, not at all. Said problem is big as the grand canyon!
I mean, this whole stonk war may prove to be the best chance we've ever had to blow the lid. If the regime's legitimacy evaporates, we win, right? If they can't control the market anymore, they can't control anything.
It is directly connected.
Exactly!
and away went the election fraud too apparently...
the fuggin bastards are just going to ripp it off again!
well you cant really buy it anymore all the trading platforms locked everything down.
Oh we haven’t. There’s many irons in many fires right now. We can multitask.
We can walk and chew gum at the same time. They’re both important and in a lot of ways not unconnected.
I would use the nyt excuse. It was an opinion piece. Or cnn that lied and exaggerated and took sections of tweets out of context to turn people's opinions agianst a candidate there for taking their right to an informed vote. Propaganda is just that no matter who was using it. Ps:CHYYINA VIRUS.
Who??
totalitarian regime, they are coming, like they said they would, after all the conservatives and republicans. time for us to go to DC again to peacably protest corruption and totalitarism. Who wants to go?
Also a distraction
Hey, I can multitask!
Is there any way to donate to his legal fund?
What happens if millions of people glood that meme all over the internet?
Flood*
What was the meme?
And MASSIVE ELECTION FRAUD- with an illegitimate criminal cabal installed in the white house.
What the hell makes him think these two things aren't related?
If you speak out - you'll get fucked.
If you try to win at the markets and escape their imprisonment - you'll get fucked.
The election only pulled back part of the curtain. This is the rest of it.
This is a huge problem
Trump won in a landslide. Where's the GOP, law enforcement, the military, the courts, the three-letter demons, etc on this? Everything else pales in comparison to our country being forcibly occupied.
Please don't let the wall street stuff distract from the fact that the federal government IS ILLEGITIMATE BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN USURPED BY COMMUNISTS.
Out of the loop, who is this in reference to?
Sorry, but the Wall Street "stuff" is the biggest story in America and red-pilling millions of people.
An informed electorate with Voter ID would prevent this.
The real truth about the dude is he got people to vote by text message. He’s going to prison for e Voter fraud. Don’t let MSM spin this into something else.
Hey...that's how a tyranny works, man.
