This is an American problem and we will solve it without advice from some washed up fucking ex German politician. Take care of your own fucked up country and get your hateful bigoted nose out of ours. With Germany's history of evil behavior where the hell do you get off criticizing the U.S. Constitution. People who live in glass houses shouldn't through stones, fool.  You are almost as stupid and ignorant as Beto O'Rourke.

You say we will solve it but when?  How many more children have to die before you solve it for Christ sake it’s not rocket science Just ban the sale of guns. And don’t give me that 2nd Amendment crap just change it.

Three Florida Republicans indicted for election fraud in 2020 'ghost candidate' scheme

Three Florida Republicans have been charged with multiple counts of election fraud relating to the 2020 cycle.

A dozen charges against "Seminole County Republican Party Chair Ben Paris, political consultant Eric Foglesong, and former independent candidate Jestine Iannotti from Senate District 9 came down through indictments sought by the State Attorney for Florida’s 18th Judicial Circuit after a Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) investigation," Florida Politics reported on Tuesday. "The investigation began in July 2021 after JC 18 State Attorney Phil Archer requested the FDLE look into the election."

Prosecutors allege that Iannotti ran as an independent “ghost candidate” to funnel votes away from Democrat Patricia Sigman in favor of Republican Jason Brodeur, who ultimately prevailed with 50.3 percent of the vote over Sigman's 47.5 percent. Iannotti, meanwhile, received 2.1 percent.

“Some NPA candidates, commonly referred to as ‘ghost’ candidates, have been used by political parties as a way to close elections or siphon off votes. While not illegal per se, many have questioned the ethics of the practice. However, when the candidate and the partisan political operatives involved violate election finance laws by illegally funding those races and filing false reports, it is the responsibility of government to act," Archer said in a press release. “Today’s actions represent our commitment to ensuring the integrity of Florida’s election process and holding those who violate state campaign laws accountable.”

FDLE Acting Commissioner Mark Glass's office explained in a statement that "Iannotti ran as an independent candidate for Florida State Senate District 9 in the 2020 election. The investigation showed that Iannotti illegally accepted a $1,200 cash donation from Foglesong in support of her candidacy. Agents found that Iannotti and Foglesong falsely used the names of other individuals as contributors in official campaign finance documents reported to the Florida Department of State to skirt Florida laws on campaign contributions. Agents say that Paris provided the name and address of one of the individuals Iannotti and Foglesong falsely used in their official campaign reporting, even though Paris knew the individual had not contributed to the campaign."

Glass added that "elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and we must do everything we can to ensure they are fair and transparent. Protecting the integrity of our elections is a top priority in Florida, and that includes making sure candidates follow the laws.”

Arrest warrants have been issued for Foglesong and Iannotti, who are out on $4,500 and $10,000 bond, respectively, and have been ordered to surrender by May 25th.

 

Busted for their own lies about everyone else.

In the previous four years, there were 68 school shootings. So far this year, there have been 27. That's 40% of the combined total of the last four years. At that pace, we'll meet or exceed the total school shootings for the previous four years...IN ONE YEAR!!

If I trusted Democrats I would be open to a national or state background check on a person before they are allowed to purchase a gun, or even some age restrictions on the purchase of certain type guns. But based upon past history, I fear that Democrats would use any new legislation to target their political rivals.  Joe Biden's son Hunter violated Federal gun laws when he lied on a gun purchase application. Why has he not been arrested and prosecuted for that crime?

And then the only people who have guns are members of the government, right? No, thank you.

Always that same old thing from you. I would highly recommend that with the glass house to you with 50,000,000 dead Indians. shame and disgrace. 😬

And it was European immigrants to America who killed those Indians.

There are thousands of illegal guns on the streets of our large cities right now. Why is there no push by Democrats to arrest the people who possess those guns and remove those guns from the streets?  Could it be because most of those cities are run by Democrats and don't want any attention brought to the problem?

[Ridgerunner]

Mass shootings get the headlines, but the murders that that take place everyday in our large cities are ignored by the news media. Why? Could it be because those killings don't fit the left wing agenda of the news media, since those murders are mostly Black people killing Black people? If a White cop kills a Black person it's national news, but if a Black gang banger kills an innocent Black child it's not even mentioned by the national news media. It's just accepted as normal everyday life in the inner cities.

Wonder if Governor Kemp of Georgia will finally become concerned about voter fraud when Stacey Abrams tries to steal the gubernatorial election from him with fraudulent voting?

[Ridgerunner]

When political hack government officials don't follow requirements set down by election law you get the election mess they presently have in Pennsylvania. You don't change election rules in the middle of an election which was done in 2020 and is now being done in 2022 and then expect people to trust the results of the election.

Joe Biden is keeping his promise to unite the American people. His incompetence and  divisive hateful rhetoric are uniting the American people against him and the Democratic Party. Per the Washington Examiner Joe Biden's approval rating has fallen below that of every modern president going back to Harry Truman.
