Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump I’m shocked and sickened

Generally, one of the primary factors (certainly not the only one, sentencing disparity is obviously important) is some level of contrition. An acknowledgement of wrongdoing and the harm it has caused. To my knowledge, Ms. Peters has not displayed once inch of contrition. None.

This appears to be disinformation. Please delete this post and either re-post with a source attached, or wait until you have one. Or, you can revise to say he is considering pardoning her, with a source, and encourage the people of CO to urge him not to. But please, don't turn Bluesky into X.

"Martijon Polis is a libertarian. Should tell u all u need to know, we can’t wait to be rid of him." Compliments of Lady Martijon@bsky.social.com

The US is set up to allow people of privilege to escape accountability and this is another example. If potus was not pressuring polis I doubt he would even be considering such a ridiculous move. The rich, powerful & connected can have & do anything they want apparently. Vote fraud, child rape, etc

No it’s Jaredspeak for “I’ll be granting clemency to Peters on April 4th.” IMO He thinks Trump survives all this and is looking for a job come January. He’s really become quite loathsome of late.

Coloradan here. Consider too that Polis is a term-limited millionaire w/ulterior personal motives for his future political aspirations! Then again, he physically assaulted an employee b4 going into politics & legally chgd his name b4 running for office to minimize Google search results! Fucker!

Not yet, but it sure sounds like he's leaning toward a commutation. He's a lame duck due to term limits. Maybe he's hoping to run for federal office later, but I don't see a path. The GOP has hated him for years and now he's losing ground with Dems and Independents.

I'd argue the one lady got off light, not that Peters was over sentenced. Those charges are serious, they dont need to go to a "prison" but deserve time in a minimum security facility

Since I don't know the background on the Sonya Lewis case, I can't say for sure. But, it's hard to imagine hers being *nearly* as bad as Peters. So it sounds like he's just trying to come up with a justification for it. I certainly hope not. She was horrible.

@colorado.gov We aren’t so stupid that we would watch you compare apples to oranges and not call you out on capitulation. Be sure to remember to consider one committed three more crimes than the other and that they were not the same offense.

These are definitely NOT the same. Peters should stay in prison where she belongs. She took definitive steps to try and subvert an election. NOT THE SAME.

The question for Jared is are the two people in question equally repentant? Do they both admit they did something wrong and pledge not to do so in the future? Or is it only one of them? Because pardoning someone who is unrepentant is asking for them and others to continue said behavior.

Here’s more on the potential Peter’s’ pardon bsky.app/profile/cafe... Just FYI

Context: I was a precinct captain and caucus elector for Polis and Jaquez-Lewis. I have supported and voted for them both. Former state sen Lewis is a personal friend. That said, Polis equating Lewis and Peters’ crimes is utter BS. And to use Lewis to justify such cowardice is just pathetic

Oh sorry. I meant Adam. He hates us so much he’ll spread bs meanwhile his team is blowing up the world and killing millions but sure blame Dems. This is why I loathe these never trumpers. Biggest scam ever.

Disgusting. Shame on Jared Polis. Hopefully his political life is over. Stand up to bullies if you don’t want to be bullied any more. Trump is a bully and the more he gets the more he wants because he is an insatiable corrupt narcissistic evil cruel psychopath who has an empty black dead soul.

Are you kidding me?? He caved into F45 "demand"...?? "Demand" for what...?? OR...?? What an f--king weenie boy!! Get rid of him ASAP Colorado & give him a 1-way ticket to Mar A Lago so he can kiss F45's Wide Load Ass in person...!! 😡😡😡 F--K POLIS...!!

Nothing that happens in this country shocks me any more. The America I grew up in during the 20th Century, never perfect and often flawed, is gone, dead, run through a wood chipper, burned, and then the ashes scattered to the wind. We are now a rogue state, apparently simply Israel's Army now.

And so the normalization and encouragement of insurrectionist acts continues. First, pardon the actors, then pardon the people that incited them. Perpetuating the idea that it's permissible to do what they did, and that there's no consequences for such acts. Disgusting.

Polis confirmed he is reviewing clemency applications and that Peters is in the batch. He has made comments suggesting sympathy for her sentence length, but no action has been taken.

This emboldens every cynic, whack-job and grifter ahead of the midterms to do the same. They know Trump will pardon any illegality to tilt the scales his way: it's the 2026 version of "Stand back and stand by".

now you understand why most Colorado’s hate Jared Polis. He is not a democrat. He never has been a democrat. He is a small minded, self serving, pathetic and privileged brat with zero integrity and no moral compass
