A group funded by billionaire Elon Musk is offering Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition in opposition to “activist judges,” a move that comes two weeks before the state’s Supreme Court election and after the political action committee made a similar proposal last year in battleground states.
“They’re paid crisis actors”
Activist Judge = “someone who won’t do what we want”
If this isn’t already illegal, it should be…
What pisses me off is that search algorithms are so broken now that if I do a search on the legality of petition bribery, all I get is more news articles about Musk bribing people! Which, I guess, is pretty telling in and of itself…
18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting
Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and
Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote -
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
1-2 years in prison max. And it’s never gonna happen because pardons and all that.
Held accountable by whom though?
I’m sorry okay, that kid keeps getting in the way.
I feel so bad for that kid :(
If/when it survives and is older it’ll look back and totally know it’s POS narcissistic father was simply using him as a meat shield. That’s so fucked up.
It saddens me that half the country (including my parents) is so far up his ass that they think this is okay.
I have cut all Trumpers, friends and family, out of my personal life. I have to say, after the initial drama subsided it’s been much more peaceful.
Depends on how many were in your life to begin with. My parents were the only ones I still associated with until a month or so ago, and it’s been pretty awful if I’m going to be honest.
That’s because that isn’t a healthy thing to do in the first place. These people are essentially drowning and cutting them out of your life indiscriminately is like speeding away in a boat while you hope they manage to float to an island.
Having a tough conversation with them about your honest concerns is the only way to fix what people have become. It’s okay to tell them that their lack of empathy is making you feel sad/depressed. Don’t just tell them that they’re wrong and need to change their mind. Pick a specific thing they support and tell them what’s making you feel upset and let them ruminate on that. Only they can change their minds, so hopefully they view you as a close enough friend to reconsider their actions or beliefs.
What the fuck is an activist judge? A judge that follows the law?
this isn’t about “buying” votes… this is about attaining information on voter trends and then adding votes virtually as was done in the 2024 elections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJR5uQpweko Spoonamore has been pointing this out since Trump got in office. Where is the outrage/ investigation?
