Trump To Destroy Colorado In Effort To Free Tina Peters (Wonkette)

Last edited Mon Dec 29, 2025, 11:55 AM - Edit history (2)










Trump has denied requests for disaster relief from the Elk and Lee fires and the flooding in southwestern Colorado, too, though the administration denies that that was over Peters. Guess that was just because.

....



Tina Peters is a lifelong grifter, and game recognizes game, we guess. She got her start peddling a multi-level marketing scheme called Nikken, with a “holistic nutrition” correspondence degree from a non-accredited institution. Her archived website is a hoot:

...
.

But she was terrible at the job! In February 2020, employees in Peters’s office discovered an unemptied ballot box in a parking lot in front of the Mesa County election headquarters in Grand Junction, with 574 ballots cast in the November 2019 election that been sitting there going uncounted for months (fortunately they did not affect the outcome of any race). Employees also alleged her office missed deadlines, employed improper procedures, committed vote-counting errors, and ran up questionable expenses, leading to 24 of 32 employees quitting and an attempt to recall her from office that failed in August of 2020. And, said the state’s attorney general, she did not file the office’s financial reports for three years!

...


So it was against that backdrop of embattlement and failure that in November of 2020 that dumbass Peters and her co-conspirators hatched that strange and stupid scheme, to help a former pro Hawaiian goofyfoot surfer named Conan Hayes break into Mesa County’s voting machines in an attempt to prove that fraud that did not happen actually did. Peters’s part included getting Hayes a fake ID with the name “Gerald Wood,” turning off security cameras, and buying all of the co-conspirators burner phones to chat on. And Hayes, by the way, got paid about $200k by Patrick Byrne, the stolen-election-liar weirdo from Overstock dot com who used to bump bits with Russian agent Maria Butina. And the fucking morons even took pictures and videos of what they were doing, and Hayes FaceTimed Byrne from the room!"

Naturally, Trump wants Tina out of prison (snake-oil peddling charlatans have to stick together), so he'll destroy Colorado to get his way.

I bet that the things Trump plans to do to Colorado can be delayed or revoked through a court order.

Colorado needs to stand strong against this illegitimate regime of Trumpedo and continue to refuse illegal attempts to free the convicted felon, Tina Peters, which, so far, has been the case and Gov. Polis is showing no signs of backing down from Trumpedo's demands.

the next GOP president, (probably Vance), and that pardon means nothing if it can't extend to the States.

So, this is a trial balloon.

as soon as we're back. Kill his ability to pardon all his war criminals.
He profits from our loose laws and attacks other countries saying they have loose laws.

I would rather be doing anything besides being pissed that our country is fucked up!

Trump wants his operatives to know that if they tamper with election machines in the mid terms, they will not face consequences.

That's why it is so important to fight him on this.

... that trump will honor a court order. Butthook Roberts and the Sinister Six will just affirm that whatever despicable actions he takes against Colorado, or anyone else, were part of his normal presidential duties, so any radical libs that still think the Constitution matters, can go suck a tailpipe.

and therefore disqualified from higher office. That was correct, but they stayed their own decision and punted to the Supreme Court, which responded by nullifying part of the 14th Amendment.

Worst American in our nation's history. I wonder how many direct and indirect deaths this fat jackass has caused at this point. Many more to follow. Remember, family and "friends" and coworkers are accountable as contributing to this menace.
