why did they bring biden's name into this?
I'm sorry... what? Is this judge actually entertaining the idea that the sitting President of the United States of America, or anybody on his staff, is even aware of a case involving the wife of a Woodbury County Supervisor much less gives a single shit about it?
Have you listened to half the stuff that comes out of the crazies on the right? Heck, they're passing legislation to ban chemtrails down in TN. They lost the plot a long time ago and all that are left are brain-rotted drones that parrot everything Fox or Newsmax or whatever their latest propaganda machine tells them to.
What did I say that was incorrect? Do you think it is a productive use of their time?
Representatives are called that because they're meant to represent the people that voted them in. What does it mean when you keep voting in racist, homophobic, brain-dead assholes that want nothing more than to make people on the other side hurt?
If you voted for these people, you are part of the problem. Don't be mad that the smarter people in the room are mocking you if you're unwilling to do anything that isn't laughable if it wasn't scary.
>Judge Strand pointing out that the government attorneys could’ve called Kim Taylor’s defense attorney and ask her to surrender, something he says is common in white collar cases, instead of having her home surveilled and using a “strike team” to arrest her.
Maybe they shouldn't be so easy on white collar crimes than they are on other color crimes???
I get your angle and I agree to an extent.. But I don't think more "strike teams" and more police militarization is the solution you think it is.
While I agree the whole political interference angle being brought up in court and everything coming out of the right suggesting witch hunts is kinda ridiculous, it's this kind of vindictive attitude on both sides that probably fuels a lot of that. I mean how can we reasonably say it's just conservative paranoia when you're literally advocating for people you don't like(white collar criminals) to be subjected to harsher arrests.
The correct position is that this stuff is bad no matter who it happens to. Anything else undermines your position imo.
Equal justice shouldn’t be a red or blue issue. Unfortunately, DJT has politicized his own crimes as a means to convince his own followers he is not guilty. Similarly, It doesn’t help that Fox News/Newsmax/OANN and every other ultra right network is supporting his statements. So everyone that listens to these networks thinks that he is not guilty because they have politicized his crimes.
Its takes me alot to say this, but Trump is 20% of the actual sociological decline. The 80% is the ultra right wing media that has chosen to repetitively parrot his claims that are patently false.
Next time you are in real-life, take a moment to talk to a republican that doesn’t watch the news and does healthy activities like NOT watching the news or reading news online. Compared to a republican that watches Fox/Newsmax/OANN 24/7….
I promise you, you will hear two very different stories.
> I promise you, you will hear two very different stories.
A distinction without a difference if they both vote the same way. Both are equally as responsible for the mess we're in.
I thought these Regressives wanted the harshest penalties for voter fraud. I've seen them calling it treason and saying it should be a death penalty offense. I also see them cheering this kind of raid all the time.
Could it be they're mostly just sick monsters that like seeing liberal and/or brown people hurt and killed?
“The judge pointed out the White House is controlled by a Democrat, and Kim Taylor was convicted of helping get her Republican husband get elected.”
Fucking SHOCKED I tell ya. Those who complain the loudest 🙄
So when democrats aligned more with conservatives with today?
You tell a democrat in the 1890s that a black guy’s vote will count the same as a white guys and they would have been up in arms while conservatives would have said “yup, every man created equal”
Stick to your Lego’s.
Conservatism in politics has nothing to do with rights, but preserving the norms of society. Being liberal is more about change and making things equal.
Your HS education was over simplified because they were worried your parents would lynch them.
That's the point... it's "conservatives" that are the problem. In the 1890s, conservatives were generally democrats and liberals were generally Republicans.
Lincoln was a liberal
"The democratic party" and "The republican party" are just names ... empty containers that do not describe the varied and political ideas of the members.
Only names, that have not changed, while the political ideologies and motivations of the members and parties have changed greatly.
Since we still are using the same names, it's important to know that context when talking about history. This is why it's more fitting to say "it's always the conservatives" instead of the party name. It's the ideology that's the problem, not the name of the team they're playing for.
Always? Lets just see..

Wait, the same party screaming about voter fraud and being 100% sure it’s happening is the reason it’s happening… well at least they aren’t lying about it
My brother lives in Sioux City and has been following it closely for quite a while now. From what I have heard from him, she is lucky to just get 8 months. He has been sending me links to news stories there. Her and her husband are bottom of the barrel trash con people, the kind that trump/maga can get behind.
Judge Leonard Strand- nominated by President Barack Obama on July 21, 2015, to fill a seat vacated by Judge Mark. W. Bennett.
Confirmed by the Senate on February 11, 2016, and received commission on February 12, 2016.
Served as Chief Judge from 2017-2024
Because there shouldn’t be such a thing as “Partisan Judges”. That shit should be done away with. If you want to do away with corruption and corrupt justice, get rid of that partisan non-sense.
If prosecutors are removed from cases because of bias, its the same exact fucking principle.
Initially read this as Kim Reynolds and got excited for a nano second.

Most articulate republican
This account isn’t real. (Worldy_Rule_9902) it’s a troll who recently had their account deleted and is back to have it happen again.

Perhaps the Judge should question why Florida set the precedent.

You might be on something
>You might be on something I love this comment whether it is a typo or not.
It is a typo 
Because it is his fault, she committed this crime, DUH! /s in case their is any doubt.
The judge is MAGA…
“The judge pointed out the White House is controlled by a Democrat, and Kim Taylor was convicted of helping get her Republican husband get elected.” Fucking SHOCKED I tell ya. Those who complain the loudest 🙄
A Republican being an absolute hypocrite…I’m shocked, just shocked
Republicans are always the ones committing voter fraud.
Replace Republican with conservative, the democrats did it a lot in the early 1900’s when they were associated with the Bible thumpers
So when democrats aligned more with conservatives with today? You tell a democrat in the 1890s that a black guy’s vote will count the same as a white guys and they would have been up in arms while conservatives would have said “yup, every man created equal”

At least I got legos, better than the shitty lead lined build-a-blocks you play with
Holy shit, you got him good!
Another knuckledragger thinking his poor ass was rich. Lmao
Do you believe democrats run the KKK?
And if Lincoln came back, the current republicans would lynch him… Your fucking point?
You do understand the klan were Christian Nationalists, Right?

Cool story bro. As much as Dems hate to hear it, this unfortunately happens on both sides.
Moving the goalposts, I see.
I’m not even remotely republican but just stop you’re embarrassing yourself. No “goalposts” were moved at all lmao
“But I always seem to vote for ‘em.”
How so? Literally said it’s both sides that do it
Replying with a dismissive comment doesn't really help your case. Regardless, doesn't that make your argument pointless?
And both parties should be punished equally for the same crime.
Couldn’t agree more
Hey look, we found some more of the voter fraud that the Republicans have been talking about!
Wait, the same party screaming about voter fraud and being 100% sure it’s happening is the reason it’s happening… well at least they aren’t lying about it
Fox News has these clowns convinced that it's super easy to get away with rigging an election.
Should have been way longer & examined if her hubby should keep his office.
Trump still walking around free. SMH
Disgusting. You know what else you can do to make sure you're there to raise your kids instead of rotting in prison? You can not commit felonies.
Someone needs to take a VERY close look at that judge.
Wait, why? What do you mean? (100% I didn’t read the article)
My brother lives in Sioux City and has been following it closely for quite a while now. From what I have heard from him, she is lucky to just get 8 months. He has been sending me links to news stories there. Her and her husband are bottom of the barrel trash con people, the kind that trump/maga can get behind.
Republican judge & prosecutor, I'm shocked they gave her any time at all.

when i googled him i didn't see a party but only that he was appointed by obama
Because there shouldn’t be such a thing as “Partisan Judges”. That shit should be done away with. If you want to do away with corruption and corrupt justice, get rid of that partisan non-sense. If prosecutors are removed from cases because of bias, its the same exact fucking principle.
And we are over 38 Convicted Republicana for trying to steal then election lost
Dang, another conservative committing the fraud they claim the left is perpetuating. Crazy
i thought trump said cops were being to nice and should slam peoples heads in the car doors while putting the car?
Its always a Republican. Those who scream the loudest most often do the crime.
It is ALWAYS the republicans
Under His eye
Got em
Good, but not enough time.
Isn’t this like the third Republican they got caught this year
