I had to go check if that was real, and sure as shit it is!
Dude is good for Wisconsin. He does the things, and we don’t hear about any of it. The way it should be.
Except when he’s being sassy. Which is not common at all, but I’m super here for it when it does happen.
hahahaha! That's fucking brilliant!
God damn, I wish we had a governor as cool as Tony Evers.
No closing quote??
What a savage.
Those involved in the fake elector scheme aren't just criminals, they're traitors who really need to be dealt with severely.
Make Attorneys Get Attorneys!
Good. Crimes as terrible as this need to be prosecuted heavily.
Hell yeah, I am so excited these false elector lawsuits are finally getting filed.
Hopefully it discourages republicans from trying to do it again, oh wait that would require critical thinking... Nvm
Schaden-hahahahahaha
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, didn’t rule out filing more charges, including against the 10 fake electors, saying that the investigation is ongoing.
“Our approach has been focused on following the facts where they lead,” he said at a news conference.
Someone who knows better than me: why do journalists include the ages of the people mentioned in articles like these?
I assume it is for two reasons. One is to help distinguish between people who have the same names, since it is rarer for them to be the same age. The other is to give some context to the people in the story. Are they 19 year olds committing this crime who don't necessarily know the impact of their actions? 80 year olds who are maybe not as sharp-minded as they used to be?
Troupis @ 70 yrs old doing crime could mean his last days could be in a cell if he were to get the full 6 yrs possible. That kind of blind loyalty to Trump that has zero F's for this man just shows how sad it is to be a member of a cult.
Usually it's done for people accused of a crime. I assume so that they don't get confused with someone else with the same name.
I appreciated it
Besides what's already mentioned, the mention of age creates instant engagement from the reader. Those old young people are always up to trouble.
Oh, they got poor Cheesebro. All he wants is some cheese, let him be!
