This charge and sentence looks prima facia unconstitutional.

I read somewhere else that what got this guy in trouble was his use of Hillary’s web address and her campaign symbol (the H at the bottom right).

“Mackey has been found guilty by a jury of his peers of attempting to deprive individuals from exercising their sacred right to vote for the candidate of their choice in the 2016 Presidential Election,” United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York...”


Mackey lived in Florida but he was charged in Brooklyn.

In a functional and Constitutionally limited Republic with an equitable Justice system predicated upon natural law?

Correct.

We no longer have a system anywhere near that. Lysander Spooner was warning of this over a hundred years ago and for all that time... our cheese has slid slowly off the cracker.

... and here we are.

Obviously this will be appealed. This is blatantly unconstitutional.

So, in other words....Democrat voters are too stupid to know when Election Day is.

He never stated that the vote would be counted in the election. If someone is that stupid, its better that their vote isn’t counted.

Re: 22 - the problem it seems to me is that it does not indicate it was a parody.

The system - a valid and enforceable Constitution - is there.

The people are not.

Never Trumpers extraordinaire. Other than the courts in DC, probably the most corrupt of the Fedzilla courts.

The words are there... But if no one follows them... Does it matter?

Dems and GOP both are pretty much off the chain and doing whatever the hell they please.

How do you cage the tiger again once it has figured out your lock is made of nothing but paper?

If this situation was geared against Republican voters you know there would be NO charges. The weaponized DOJ continues its reign of terror against Republicans.

TRUTH: Jack Poso @ Posobiec
Doug Mackey made a meme called DraftOurDaughters to warn us that the world would be at war with Democrats in power

Now they’re throwing him in jail

Denied free speech due to a fairly common theme in humor.

“The prosecutors should be made to prove the tweet successfully deceived actual humans in large enough numbers to matter.”

Should we (the public) learn to take care of ourselves or should government protect us by censorship.

I don’t have the answer except to say I would like for us to be “smart” rather than led. Maybe my frequently used quotation from Mother Theresa applies here: Wisdom is acquired by suffering.

The wisdom might be worth the suffering. Or maybe it’s that suffering today prevents greater future suffering.

He’s trying to raise money through givesendgo.com.
People stupid enough to believe we now vote thru
texting? It’s obvious satire.

Who’s next, Babylon Bee?
