Every time he gets caught and pleads guilty the DA’s stats get padded. Why lock him up when they know he’s going to keep getting caught and make them look good on paper?

The website was originally a subreddit, and Reddit really hated us because we were high energy and our posts hit the front page of the site all the time. “spez” was the username of the head of reddit who tried his hardest to censor us and failed miserably

They’re talking past the sale. Like a car salesman saying “so what color do you want your truck in?” When you haven’t said you want one.

The msm get paid off. Their money doesn’t come from reporting real news. It’s not just Trump hate they’re paid to look the other way

And before the software it was we vote and boxes of ballots disappear or are “found”. There’s been so much cheating in our elections it’s disgusting

Not necessarily. A lot of people are simply scared of the idea that our elections our corrupt. They really want to believe it’s all legitimate because the truth is scary

We just had a red wave and look why they’re trying to do to it.

A lot of it is fear. Tons of people don’t want to believe that deep corruption could happen in America because they’re scared of what that would mean for them.

“Passive resistance” is a fancy way of saying “I’m a lazy coward but want to feel morally superior” just like “stay home stay safe” is a fancy way of saying “I’m a lazy piece of shit who wants any excuse to watch Netflix all day.”

It’s also a joke because the Trump campaign and the RNC submitted a lawsuit shortly after Act 77 was passed and they were told they didn’t have standing. So if you file suit before he election there’s no standing, if you file after you weren’t diligent and filed too late.

Agreed. People who say it’s too late forget that the people who want to rule don’t want to rule over a bombed out wasteland or a stack of corpses. They do all the evil shit they do in order to defeat the people who will resist them, not to kill everyone.

I was being facetious. The order was based on laches, not the 180 period outlined in the Act, as explicitly stated in the order. The line you quote comes from the concurring opinion by Justice Wecht and uses the 180 day period as an example of how the plaintiffs were not duly diligent in bringing the matter to the court, not as an expiration date on challenges. The order also explicitly says that they do not speak to the 180 day rule as a basis for dismissal.

The 180 day number is a mislead being used by Democrats to pretend this was a fair decision. The 180 day period comes from Act 77 itself, but the plaintiffs argued the act was unconstitutional and void ab initio, meaning that no part of it was ever valid, including the 180 day period.

The ability to challenge Act 77 in court didn’t expire. The court’s ruling was based on laches, which is the claim that the plaintiff didn’t act in a timely enough fashion and so it would be unjust to grant his claim. This is different from “expiration” in the sense of a statute of limitations because it’s determined on a case by case basis. The claim the court is making is “you should have brought this up before the election” and so we’re unwilling to do anything about this law and this election, but of course had they done so the court would have claimed there was no injury. What will happen to this law going forward is an open question.

Article VII, section 14, of the PA constitution lays out exactly two ways to cast a vote—in person and absentee under specific circumstances. Act 77 modifies how people can cast a vote but without any change to the state constitution, making it a violation of the state constitution as it currently stands. The legislature actually tried to amend the constitution, but it wasn’t possible under PA amendment procedures for them to amend it before this election.

The law in question was passed in 2019, not during covid, so the state of emergency issue doesn’t come up in this case.

And to sort of answer your question, states can and do make laws that conflict with their constitutions, but then those laws get challenged. That’s what’s happening here. What you’re thinking of is more “can a state just decide to turn its constitution off for a while.” I’d argue the answer is sort of yes and sort of no. State constitutions vary in how easy they are to amend, and a state could amend its constitution to say “in a state of emergency we can do whatever.” However, no state that I know of currently allows that.

The more philosophical side of it is: if a state can suspends its constitution at will, does that constitution mean anything? I wouldn’t want to live in a state that could do that. That’s why this case was too scary for the PA SC to handle. If they ruled, as they clearly would like to, that the mail in voting was legal to do they would be approving of a law that is at odds with the state constitution and thus create a constitutional crisis for the state.

The bigger difficulty in this case is what remedy should be given to the GOP. They’re clearly right the law is unconstitutional but the courts are scared to throw out the election results or any of the votes (and the PASC also doesn’t want to since they’re overwhelmingly partisan). That’s why the question of the state legislature and the direct appoint of electors keeps coming up.

This is not a Trump team lawsuit, and it’s not about fraud. It’s about the PA Act 77 which allows mail in voting, but which goes against the state constitution. That’s why it’s such bullshit that he PASC has done this. They’re ignoring a clear cut legal problem on made up procedural grounds.

There’s multiple cases going on at once, and multiple other avenues of attack. This case is separate from trump’s cases and was brought by members of the state GOP. If this case fails, it doesn’t change what the legislature is trying to do

I hate the attitude of “we shouldn’t care about injustice because everyone does it”. We should care more if it’s more widespread because voter fraud anywhere by anyone hurts every citizen.

I am so fucking sick of hearing them claim to have “found” ballots. If they found them that means they lost them which means we have no idea if they’re fraudulent or not and should not be accepted. How are lefties too dumb to understand this??

I’ve seen it a lot because I got in an argument about it with an anti-gun idiot lol. The “medic” had the gun in his waisted band while he was part of the group hitting kyle on the ground and then drew it while pretending to surrender after Kyle shot the skateboard attacker. It’s a real pity Kyle didn’t hit him center of mass. Bicep boy is a total piece of shit

He fired 5+ rounds at his first attacker, the one who attacked him from behind. When he’d been knocked down and was being beaten on the ground he fired one round at the man attacking him with a skateboard, and then one round at this moron. It was amazing restraint under pressure and that makes the media’s response so much fucking worse. Oh and let’s not forget he was a child being attacked by adults.
