He needs to be charged with an election interference crime.

This is what America gets for funding a police state instead of funding schools and healthcare. For those of us who spent the last 30 years trying to convince people that we were living in a police state and that this wasn’t going to end well, this is the most sour “told you so,” we’ve ever had the displeasure of announcing.

Dear lord, I can't tell whats more horrorfying: the disgusting crime against democracy or the blunt force trauma that was the articles formatting. I' think the latter compounded the former, cus I feel like John rolled up a bundle kf comic books and hit me between the eyes over and over.
The fluctuating pace, the clipped sentences, the sheer _*/amount/*_ of italics and bolding.. fuckman ididnt think anyone could capture the nausea of a sped up tiktok with 1-word-at-a-time subtitles so thoroughly

the title of this post is misleading: the sherriff didn't lose the election in question; it was a conservative ballot measure that was defeated. https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/22/us/chad-bianco-riverside-california-ballots

which asshole judge signed the warrant

What judge signed that warrant?

None. He's illegally using an authority he doesn't have, clearly assisted by people who illegally helped him.

You know what we do in the UK ... we have these centres where the votes are counted by multiple people from multiple political parties and out in the open where it is visible. Never seen camera footage but there should be that also.
Frozenspokes
We do that in the US also. It's weird that only one side has problems.

What jumped out at me:
"It’s about using the machinery of government… badges, warrants, law enforcement authority… to act on SUSPICION rather than prove it.
To create the appearance of criminality first… and sort out justification later."

Yep. That's the Heritage Foundation way.
clonedeeznuts
They've realized how we as a social media society will blindly believe shit that reinforces our own biases. And we got plenty of them.
mikeatike
Its always been thr case. This is why police do the perp walk. To bias the public before a trial.
kahooki
As a default wondering EU citizen: Why tf you elect judges and sheriffs? Shit makes no sense to elect judiciary and/or executive 'middle management ' positions.
That's just plain idiotic.
Corrodias
The degree of democracy in a republic can vary. You can elect positions, or you can leave them up to your elected officials to appoint them without your oversight. Either way, theoretically, they're supposed to represent the will of the people. Either you allow people to elect incompetent or malicious judges, or you allow them to elect incompetent and malicious presidents and senators and have them appointed. Either way, the outcome is the same.
sturmhauke
I agree. The thing to understand about the US is that we're a collection of "states" in the original sense - that is, (mostly) sovereign governments - under a federal government. Selection of state-level and lower judges and law enforcement falls under the authority of the state governments. So without a complete overhaul of the Constitution, you're gonna get weird shit like that at the more local levels.
kahooki
I know and I assume it will get worse the longer that status quo continues.
IIRC when your Constitution was written, it was planned that this should be reviewed/renewed/modified every now and then - am I correct?
Yes I'm aware of the amendments but it boggles me that a document written in a time with way different structural/(geo)political/societal challenges is carried on so rigorously.
Of course there's the danger of coming out way worse in the end with a new set of rules... ah beans...
sturmhauke
It has an amendment process, but many scholars argue it's the most difficult to amend of any constitution currently in effect.

He won't. Look at how he vetoed the ranked choice voting bill - that decision has had a DIRECT impact on the current gubernatorial race. It's currently biting him and his corpo party wing in the ass with the prospect that TWO republicans will win the open primary and advance to the general, shutting out Democrats entirely.
makesense
Ranked choice not being there won't matter. People need to stop listening to the stupid rhetoric based on one poll. Democrat is going to win the governor's race. Probably will go to a runoff, but they'll still win.
NKato
The possibility is still there. Do not dismiss it out of hand, that's how the world shits on your face.

The point of what happened and the actions those involved took are always missed by those fucks.
These days they would dress in gravy seals cosplay and defend those same politicians.

And yet not 1 single amerimoron has done a single meaningful moment of protest, let alone actually used their guns for the stated purpose. Cardio group walks Do Not count, no.

The battle of Athens was done by veterans. There's a lot of pissed off veterans now. It doesn't take many of those men and women who spent their formative years fighting insurgency to get pissed off before it gets real ugly up in here. The clowns that wore firearms and shells as a prop were never going to do fuck all anyway, they cling to them because they are chickenshits who think its a magical talisman that will keep them safe. As soon as they ever "needed" those outfits, they run.

Gun nuts never realize that their fantasies of overthrowing a government opposes their love of police. They'll defiantly say "Come and take 'em" while waving thin blue line flags, never giving any thought about *who* would be taking them.
JusticePhrall
This. Every Home Depot parking lot in North Idaho is full of cosplaytriots whose Molon Labe and No Step On Snek decals are more often than not accompanied by a Thin Blue Line sticker. You have to wonder who they think is going to come for their guns—Chuck Schumer in tactical gear?
BTW, in the original Greek, Molon Labe means “Come, take.”
It's important to remember that after hearing this, Xerxes did.
ElroydIsGone
Yeah, far too many "2A vs tyranny" fans seem to not realize, that in practice, "2A vs tyranny" will at some point boil down to shooting at cops and receiving their response. That's it.
If anyone is convinced, they'll fend off some evil government with their magic boomstick, ask them "Do you think shooting at cops will do the trick?", because that's what it will be in the end.
Scorpio3002
There ARE real, genuine 2A supporters. They're the ones who have ACAB tattoos and want to prioritize arming minorities.
