Election denier Tina Peters sentenced to nine years.

[edbermac]

Judge called her a charlatan and a liar and said she would do it all over again without hesitation.

Fuck yeah!

Tina Peters is an American convicted felon who is the former County Clerk of Mesa County, Colorado. Described in 2022 as "one of at least twenty-two election deniers vying to take charge of elections in eighteen states", she was the first election official in the U.S. convicted of criminal charges related to stolen election conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 United States presidential election. In August 2024, she was convicted on charges relating to unauthorized access to election machines.

9 years for the Orange Messiah. Way to go, honey!

1. The Pillow guy-- who tried to squirrel her away to escape charges-- should have hidden her in those truckloads

of unsold crappy pillows.

She is quite the piece of work. I watched her sentencing live and was proud of that judge.

[edbermac]

3. Was watching the live feed as well.

Got up and told her little sob story to the judge, but he didn’t buy any of it.

[NJCher]

94. I didn't see her sob story but

I heard the speech the judge gave her and I couldn’t have been prouder of our justice system, if only for that moment. That same speech would have worked well on trump, too. The judge told her several times that it’s not all about her.

If anybody runs across that footage, it should be posted because it is the most on-target judge dress-down that I have ever heard.

I’m so thrilled that she got this sentence.

On edit: does anyone remember when the police had to haul her out of the coffee shop? That was a good laugh but it also showed how she thinks the law is for other people, not her.

114. excellent!

I'll probably watch another 3-4 times.

[Marcuse]

86. MyPillow CEO says he gave as much as $800,000 to Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters' legal defense fund

“I probably put in three, four or five, maybe $800,000, of my own money,” Lindell told reporters outside the Colorado Capitol. Lindell then called a Colorado Sun reporter, and his questions, “stupid.”

“Another stupid question by a stupid journalist,” Lindell said.

Colorado’s Constitution prohibits elected officials from accepting a gift greater than $65, including for travel.

[calimary]

113. Sheesh - is he THAT rich that he can donate that kind of support?

[Leghorn21]

2. Oh MY!!!

damn, that’s some serious time right there!!

BYE GIRL

[Cha]

4. Whoa.. "Election Denier and Tampering with the Voting Systems"!

She was So Busted... 9 Years to think about the Shit she pulled for The Sick Fuck!

[Bev54]

13. The timing could not be better.

[malaise]

24. Nice warning for MAGAts

Rec

[Cha]

37. Exactly.. TY, Bev!

[MontanaMama]

63. By the time she's out...

Her slimy orange jeebus should well be off the planet!

[Cha]

65. We Can Hope! And, that's a Cheery thought..

Mahalo, MontanaMama

[MontanaMama]

68. I meant it the cheeriest way possible.

Glass half full and all that.

Mahalo Cha!

[Cha]

70. lol You did Well.. Something to look forward to..

Selfishly I want to live long enough to see it happen.

I have more pressing reasons but that would be a giant Perk!

Aloha, MontanaMama

[soandso]

90. She's no spring chicken

so this could amount to a (rest of your) life sentence for her. What a piece of work this woman is.

[Hekate]

82. One thing for sure: she will very soon start looking her age

[Cha]

84. Seriously.. here's a couple of Tweets I just saw from Kyle Clark, the Denver

Popular Anchor and Investigative Reporter on Channel 9 news.

[calguy]

5. She doesn't look like she'll do well in prison

Another trump lackey going to prison for him. I wonder if she still thinks it was worth it.

[et tu]

12. my thoughts too

she will look very different in 9 years~

[littlemissmartypants]

30. Yes she will! Do you think that she's still going to have hair coloring and lipstick?

I don't know. I'm not a psychopathic idiot. But I don't think that I could survive w/o lipstick.

❤️

[dchill]

33. Okay, Little Miss Smarty Pants! Earning your name today!

👍😁

[GreenWave]

72. You got to say it with impunity!

But I like Little Miss Smarty Pants.

[dchill]

85. Well yeah!

[murielm99]

35. LOL

Shame on us for being so catty. Right away when I saw her, I thought about hair color and makeup. I like those things, too. I am an old lady, but they make me feel better about myself sometimes.

[ShazzieB]

36. And don't forget regular access to hairdressers.

Not just for coloring, but for haircuts. It takes a lot of regular upkeep to maintain a look like hers.

[vanlassie]

79. Or a lot of cigs to trade.

[AZ8theist]

67. As an old guy, I don't do hair color, makeup or the beauty parlor. I sometimes indulge in a pedicure.......

.......but I DO feel really, REALLY GOOD this anti-American POS is spending the next 9 years locked up.

[The Roux Comes First]

75. Frankly I Bet She Will Be Unrecognizable Within a Couple Months

Not much access to salons, mani-pedis, or plastic surgeons where she is going.

[Demovictory9]

22. No access to blond hair dye

[NJCher]

95. Not hair dye

She prolly has natural white hair.

[flying_wahini]

31. Give her a couple of years to think about it.

So happy about it.

[uponit7771]

99. She got more than a couple... If all J6 were done like this TFG wouldn't be running

[Cha]

39. Right... especially without her

"special mattress".

GMAFB!

[bluesbassman]

6. That's great and all, but here's what I don't get...

they have enough evidence to convict this clown, but the guy at the center of it all, the ring master, the carnival barker from hell, he not only walks around free, he gets to RUN AGAIN FOR PRESIDENT?!!

Crazy ass system we have is all I’ve got to say.

[Dave Bowman]

14. Yeah, that's so frustrating!

[newdayneeded]

23. Or even Mike Lydell.

Toting around papers trying to convince trump to declare martial law.

[dchill]

34. The system has been manipulated and bastardized...

...by manipulative bastards.

[Permanut]

7. So if I'm reading this correctly..

She will be unavailable in January 2025 for a cabinet position in the restored administration of her Grand High and Exalted Mystic Ruler.

[eggplant]

25. I guess he could pardon her and then appoint her... n/t

[ShazzieB]

38. Was she convicted of federal or state crimes?

The tweet doesn't say.

He can only pardon her if she was convicted in a federal court.

[sobenji]

51. No pardon for you!

She was convicted of state crimes.

[CanonRay]

52. I believe it was state charges

No pardon for you. Next.

[kairos12]

8. GITMO this terrorist trash.

[Torchlight]

9. I'd thought sentencing a coin toss

I was halfway expecting the first-time-offender-no-priors bit and end up getting any sentences adjudicated, but I guess with her public behavior and doubling down over the past month, she wound up forcing the judge's hand.

I'm guessing there a lot of people are slowly learning the surprising lesson that mucking about with the electoral process isn't something most citizens condone.

[mercuryblues]

10. She should have gotten the full 20 years

[Dave Bowman]

15. Absolutely!

[NJCher]

97. But then the taxpayers

Would be financing her old age. Let her pay for it.

[Bev54]

11. Yes!! Now you fuckers, want to do it again?

[rurallib]

16. Hope she lost her ability to vote also

That would be a nice little kick to the 9 years

[BaronChocula]

17. I hope that Georgia election board is hearing this

Even if it's not prison, it'll be lawsuits and they'll end up like giuliani.

[markodochartaigh]

27. I keep up with what's going on in

Coffee County through Brad Friedman at the Bradblog. I understand that there is a specific legal definition for treason and for insurrection, and these actions do not fit. But I think that these attempts at subversion of our democracy merit similar charges, and similar publicity.

[ashredux]

19. Well, she fucked around and found out....

You crazy, rightwing, nuts,…. Take notice.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. This idiot angered the judge by saying that she was sure that he really agreed with her election fraud conspiracies.

This lady is a true nut case who is convinced that her conspiracy theories are correct and cannot conceive that other people do not buy her bullshit

I do not practice criminal law, but I was not aware on the concept that one could avoid prison if they needed a special "magnetic mattress"

[ShazzieB]

43. Watching these clips is making me wish I could have watched the whole thi g.

She is really something....and I won't say what!

[hibbing]

48. I don't blame the judge for laughing at all

Then she gets bent about it...funny stuff.

Forward!

[orangecrush]

21. Ask yourself in 5 years

If it was worth it.

[Bengus81]

105. Without her "special mattress" she'll be asking herself that next Thursday.....

But then again....it does take time for CULT members to de-program.

[orangecrush]

107. Yup

[thesquanderer]

26. I wonder how many Repubs are now in jail for charges related to 2020 election fraud?

And just for laughs... compare that to how many Dems...?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. Judge read Peters the riot act in the sentencing

This is a 13 minute video that really made me smile

[sheshe2]

40. I just saw that on twitter...I watched the whole dayum thing.

He sure didn’t, mince words. That was a thing of beauty!

[Cha]

55. Rec TY, LMPV! Whoa.. Judge Matthew D Barrett!... "... your son served

admiralty and made the ultimate sacrifice.. I know too he honored his country which I considered . Something that is not lost on me when It concerns the circumstances you find yourself."

"I'm convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You're as defiant as this court has ever seen."

Bottom line.. Yes you Are a Charleton!

Judge just Denied "the Saty"!!

Her son honored his country and Tina Peters Dishonored it with actions and Lies.

[Fla Dem]

29. Has not had a stella personal life either.

Personal life
Peters lives in Grand Junction, Colorado. She and her husband, Thomas Peters, had a daughter and a son. Their son, Remmington J. Peters, a combat veteran serving in the US military as a Navy SEAL, died in 2017 at age 27 in a parachute accident performing at an air show in New York City.[98][99][100]

She legally separated from her husband in June 2017 and filed a decree of legal separation in January 2018. At the time, she had power of attorney over her husband's affairs for health reasons. The couple officially divorced in November 2021. On October 2, 2021, Peters filed a quit-claim deed for a home that Thomas Peters had purchased separately eight months after the couple separated. A civil complaint filed by Thomas Peters, which later included his sister, Katherine Egan, alleged that Tina Peters filed the quit-claim deed "through deceit and deception".[101] Thomas Peters' daughter Cayce joined Egan as a plaintiff in a civil suit against Tina Peters on behalf of the estate of her father as his personal representative, alleging the quit-claim deed was filed, placing the house in her own name, on the same day her power of attorney over Thomas Peters was rescinded.[98]

42. Thanks, Fla Dem... Sorry about their son.... Too bad she

broke the law for TSF who Insults and Bashes the Military.

[Fla Dem]

104. I too was sorry when I read that. Perhaps what caused her to go down the crazy road.

[NJCher]

98. Wow, that wiki bio

Is very revealing. She is a crook, many times over. Repeated ethical and legal violations her entire life!

[onethatcares]

32. does she begin her sentence today?

because she's gonna have one hell of an attitude change when they tell her it's time for the search before dinner.

[sheshe2]

41. Buh bye, Tina.

[Paladin]

44. Good. (nt)

[Betty Boom]

45. Boo Hoo

“During her sentencing hearing on Thursday, Peters spoke for 40 minutes and used the opportunity to present evidence that was ruled inadmissible during her trial. She also broke down into tears when she talked about how she could not live in prison because of health issues.”

"I did my best to serve this county and I hope you find it in your heart to not sentence me to… I don't deserve to be in prison. I can do a lot more good, a lot more good out helping people," said Peters. "If you tell me not to talk about the election, I won't talk about the election."

46. Justice!

[Harker]

47. Unrepentant.

Her late son was a Navy SEAL. She had lung cancer. She needs a magnetic mattress. She repaid Mike Lindell for all the air travel.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

Anything but an apology for her crimes.

[Emile]

49. and Trump is still free as a bird.

[Bengus81]

106. Not for long....it will be Prison or fleeing in 2025 for that POS.....n/t

I just read up a little on her. PIECE. OF. WORK...

[Cinjanik]

53. Tina Peters

I live in her district. We are a small community, honest and compassionate people. What Peters and trump did is the epitome of treason! They disregarded "our" votes! She deserves more than 9 years...it should have been life!

54. Orangelicals and their Orange Messiah..

[chwaliszewski]

56. Listen to the judge's closing speech

https://www.yahoo.com/news/youre-charlatan-judge-sentences-defiant-194946869.html

[ProfessorGAC]

57. What An Idiot

Ruined her own life over obeisance to a fraud.
Gladly, we won't hear from her for quite a while, and she might serve as a deterrent to others thinking about engaging in new election interference.

[SunSeeker]

58. Awesome! Let that set an example for all the Tina Peters out there!

[onecaliberal]

59. I guess she's about to go through some things.

[calguy]

71. I read where she was immediately taken into custody....

which means the strip search, wearing her new orange prison dress, and an un-magnetized mattress to sleep on tonight.
The next nine years of her life have just begun.

[ShazzieB]

60. Chalk up another life ruined by Trump.

I wonder how many there are by now. Not just in his political career, but going back years, including all the people he ruined financially by not paying them what he owed them.

We know that everything Trump touches dies. But for every one of those "deaths" (literal or figurative), there is a ripple effect of others (relatives, friends, associates) who are harmed.

The trail of destruction left by this one individual is immeasurable...and it continues as we speak and will continue to do so as long as he is still on his planet. Putting him behind bars would slow him down, probably a lot, but even there he will still have the power to cause trouble (albeit on a smaller scale) as long as there are people on the outside who are willing to help him communicate with whatever ragtag remnant of miscreants still support him.

It's really mind boggling how much damage can stem from the evil perpetrated by one single person. There's a reason I sometimes call him the Orange Hellbeast. His ability to create and foster hate and evil and channel those things to his own benefit seems almost supernatural sometimes.

No, I don't really believe there's anything supernatural about him. I just can't think of a better way to capture the sheer extent of his malevolence than to call him a beast from hell (which I also don't literally believe in). To me, he is and always will be the Orange Hellbeast.

[RockRaven]

61. She's in her late 60s. Nine years in state prison is a helluva sentence

in that context, but a well deserved one.

[Keepthesoulalive]

62. A lot of these people seem to be

Not all there. Conspiracies, fear of others, entitled, god complex and just far out stuff ,just like their orange god emperor. Please can we just put them back under a rock. We need a breather from the insanity.

[Grokenstein]

66. The "special mattress" bit was the cherry on top.

Link to tweet

[Dem2theMax]

69. Listening to her helps to understand how we can never get through to them.

Her brain must be enclosed in a steel trap.
All of the lies are bouncing around in there, and she thinks it's the truth. No matter what the judge said to her, none of it penetrated. She is incapable of hearing the truth. Truly brainwashed, and it's mind-boggling to watch it in real time.

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

109. They start to believe

there is a god who has chosen them, and if a god chose them, they are indeed special and above man's law. After all, they are flying in a private jet for goodness sakes. My goodness, I despise those fake, "good Christians".

[Dem2theMax]

118. I'm right there with you.

I watched a special on Jimmy Carter last night. It was about his life and what he's done with it. If there's anyone you could actually call a Christian, it's Jimmy Carter, and Rosalynn Carter.

After I watched it, I sat here thinking about all these people who confess to be 'good Christians,' and yet they act as anything but.

They are one of the many reasons I walked away from organized religion, and then from any kind of belief at all.

Let’s see how defiant she is after the first few years and ask then is she’d do it again then.

Brazil danced with fascism under Bolsonaro, let's hope they don't again anytime soon (as Argentina is currently doing at the moment).

That guy is lucky he wasn't executed.

115. Now she can't vote. Too bad so sad.

[Grins]

116. She's not an election denier! She actively commited voter fraud. Actively tried to shift the results of an election.!

And did it from the inside. REPUBLICANS rig elections! Just like they rig election districts, rig voter registrations, rig the process, rig the count, rig the transfer of power.
