At this rate they might be ready to take action when Trump's done with his second term
So, after he dies? Because that "second term" will never end, courtesy of Project 2025.
I'm pretty sure that we're stuck in the cursed timeline and Trump will never die.
If that turns out to be true, I will believe hell exists.
Holy mother-forking shirt balls!
Seems like it, but I’m pretty sure it’s too little, too late. Sure hope I’m wrong, though.
I don’t know. Is there a statute of limitations?
IANAL but generally noncapital offenses have a federal statute of limitations of 5 year. Many states follow the federal limit, but that of course varies by state.
Most crimes have a three year statute of limitations to file charges in Nevada, some four, with exceptions for especially egregious crimes like murder, sex trafficking, and terrorism (which have no limitations).
I'm looking at the actual statutes, however, and there's no explicit mention of where conspiracy to subvert an election is concerned (or whatever they're going to charge him with). NAL, and there's a lot of linked statutes, so I have no idea how to delve further.
I would think the Attorney General of Nevada would be aware of statutes of limitations this long after the 2020 election.
As a Nevadan all I can say is it's about f'n time.
You can say fucking on the internet.
You can also be a grownup and choose not to.
It's a stupid argument to say "I choose to write fucking as effing like the grownup I am.*
In the end, like Louis CK once pointed out, you're making the readers think "oh, he means fucking," so just commit to it.
Or you can be a motherfucking grown-up and fucking swear away!
Yes, grownups can do either thing.
Maturity has nothing to do with the deliberate intention to swear or not to swear.
I beg to fucking differ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Then you're not mature enough to understand it.
(I'm fucking with you. We can disagree and that's okay.)
I was kidding too, lol
Fuck! You got me!
Nuance is difficult online, i realize there wasn't much to go on (and considering the way i see people behave online, i can't blame you for assuming i was serious)
Well met, in any case! Hope the rest of your day is dandy 🥂
Wisconsin next!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nevada’s Attorney General Aaron Ford has opened an investigation into efforts by Republicans in the state to undermine Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election by creating a slate of fake pro-Trump electors.
According to three people with knowledge of the investigation who spoke to Politico, prosecutors have been interviewing witnesses in connection to the fake electors scheme, which in Nevada involved six Republicans.
According to Politico, witnesses who’ve been questioned include former Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria, who was subjected to threats and intimidation by Trump supporters in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
This summer, McDonald and Republican National Committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid, another one of the state’s fake electors, were granted limited immunity in exchange for their testimony before a grand jury empaneled by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
DeGraffenreid’s interactions with Trump’s former Georgia co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro also appeared in the final report compiled by the Jan. 6 Committee.
Chesebro, who is considered one of the masterminds behind the fake electors scheme, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to file false documents in Georgia last month.
