With the news that Gov Jared Polis of Colorado just granted clemency to Tina Peters, justice has been once again perverted, and this time by a DEMOCRAT desperate for Donald Trumps adoration. Congrats Jared Polis. I bet you get invited to the WH now

Clemency, commuted sentence, whatever. At least she’s still a convicted felon and hopefully prevented from holding a position of public trust ever again.

Democrats merely want to hold power, they do not care to weild it. Buttigieg would also have done this, were he a governor. But he hasn't even won a statewide race, so I don't get the appeal. The lack of accountability is appalling.

Nonsense crap Enough is enough And this time by a Colorado Democrat Did the Boebert Bright Lobbyist group get to CO Governor or some back handed DJT threat team say you better or else

Despite your optimism, I have reached the conclusion that our country is gone - it has been taken over by corruption and it pains me to no end to know how the toxic trumps will gain from this. I wish I could move out of the country. I will continue to protest but it seems worthless to do so.

Trump keeps threatening to defund Colorado. After months of pressure, vengeful actions taken against the state and juvenile badmouthing from convicted felon/sexual abuser/President Trump, Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, caved and commuted the sentence of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters today.

, reducing her sentence by half and making her eligible for parole on June 1, 2026. She was supposed to serve 9 years in prison and would not have been eligible for parole until 2028. Now she could be out by June 1.

Adoration? No. I’d bet everything I have that he’s received cash, from someone, for doing this. Probably by someone with plenty of money already, desperate for a return on his investment from Trump/the American taxpayer.

Someone convince me again, why the FUCK should I EVER vote for a Democrat again? Fuck the 'because it's fascism' bullshit. They BETTER fucking do something because FUCK THIS SHIT.

Another sad day for the USA. She wasn't even required to say that the 2020 election was not stolen. It frees her to commit election crimes again, normalizes election subversion, makes a mockery of the judicial system, will be used to show that Trump is so powerful that Democrats will bow down.

He ran as a Democrat, and wasn’t too bad during his first term, but he’s really a millionaire libertarian, and has shown his true colors in his 2nd and final term 🤬

Purge? No they need to be made examples of and prosecuted. Do it and idk how they do it. The Trump admin is lawless and now we got people helping them. No let's put in on the other foot.

Why does it matter? Is there a comparable example on the right where Republicans kept some random non-violent no criminal record liberal in prison for years just to make a political point? It’s kind of vicious. At the end of the day it’s just an old lady.

Huh? Tina Peters wasn’t charged for anything related to the 2020 election. Or trying to overthrow an election. Or trying to change the outcome of an election, See? This is what I mean. We can’t just let people rot in jail cuz you vaguely connected them in your head to Jan 6.

Adam, I didn't know that a sitting potus can organize fraud electors, gather an armed mob to war with Congress and be invited back by that very Congress to pardon and financially reward his coconspirators... But, I do now.

Australia uses a completely independent and strictly non partisan statutory body to run all its elections, governs all redistributions and investigates any breaches of electoral rules. The USA has a weak if not failing democratic system. It needs a complete overhaul.

May be a first time offender, but the courts took that into account during her sentencing. She tried to corrupt one of the very fundamental principles of our democracy. Every Colorado resident should be very pissed off right now. Impeach that prick.

To be fair, she IS a sick old woman. Sentenced to many years in prison. You gotta have some humanity and put aside your zero tolerance Jan 6 righteous anger when it comes to evaluating any INDIVIDUAL case. The intangible symbolism of this old lady dying in prison isn’t worth it.

NO. NO. NO. What the fuck is wrong with you? She tried to subvert our democracy multiple times and was told at her sentencing by the judge that she lied as easily as she breathed. She unapologetically tried to cancel the will of the people to benefit a criminal. What IS your problem?

I'm a Coloradan. I am furious! But not surprised by Polis. Nothing to lose. He is done the end of this year. Forget justice. Who cares about that? #TinaPeters

What the hell was he thinking? Democratic leaders have to lead. If they don’t, they better step aside. In a time of fascism, appeasers aren’t leaders. They’re cowards. We ought to remember their names and primary them. This isn’t disloyalty. We’ll vote for Democrats. But they better not be cowards.

So fcking disgusted! We’re here because the US govt let traitors that tried to destroy the US by waging a civil war against it, were allowed to go home & run for positions of power in the traitorous south. Zero accountability and now this fckin governor does the exact same sht. No justice no peace

I live near Mesa County CO and most of the Republicans there are not happy about this at all. I'm a Dem and I am shocked and furious at Polis rolling over to the bully. I voted for Jared, I defended him thru calls for recalls and he fucked us all.

He's not running again for gov of CO but this makes me think he's going to try and stink up something else at some point. Just a baseless guess, btw.

We need a national movement to strip executives of the pardon and clemency powers at both the state and federal levels. Our so-called “leaders” are too corrupt to use them responsibly.

I was living in Denver in 2008 when Jared Polis first came ran for congress in Colorado's 2nd district. There was plenty of skepticism at the time as he had and put in big money for his campaign. I gave him a chance after he won. My mistake.
