@AsheinAmerica I remember how Polis vetoed HB25-1147 (fairness in sentencing).
Here in Colorado, two defendants charged with same crime can get wildly different sentences depending on how a police officer fills out a form.
Polis vetoed the fix.
He's a liar.

NEW STATEMENT FROM TINA PETERS' ATTORNEY IN RESPONSE TO POLIS CLEMENCY POST:
"Tina Peters is grateful to Governor Polis for considering her request for clemency. As the governor said, “Justice in Colorado and America needs to be applied evenly, you never know when you might need to depend on the rule of law." While Tina suffers in prison, another public official convicted of the same offense pays a fine and performs 150 hours of public service - less than one month of work. Tina's political enemies (Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Attorney General Phil Weiser, and Dominion Voting Systems shill Matt Crane) today released statements demanding that Governor Polis show no mercy. It will take great courage for Governor Polis to grant Tina clemency, and Tina thanks him.
John Case"

NEW: Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) says Tina Peters "should get no special treatment" from Governor Jared Polis (D), calling Polis' statement hinting at clemency for Peters "shocking and worrisome." Griswold statement below.

NEW: Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubenstein (R) who prosecuted Tina Peters says Gov Jared Polis (D) giving Peters clemency "would be a gross injustice." Rubenstein points out that separate case cited by Polis to justify clemency misses the purpose of sentencing ranges.

As I have said before, and reiterate in my statement below, commuting Tina Peters' sentence would be a grave miscarriage of justice and is not appropriate given the seriousness of her crimes and lack of remorse.

@keithedwards He vetoed HB25-1147- (fairness in sentencing) here in Colorado.
So, two defendants can have wildly different outcomes for same crime depending on whether they're sentenced in state court vs. municipal.
He's lying about caring about 'fairness.'

jared polis is going to grant clemency to Tina Peters, who committed election fraud in the 2020 election...
what the fuck
English
@DenverChannel Yes. He's claiming he a 'fairness in sentencing' warrior.
We all remember how he vetoed HB25-1147 (fairness in sentencing). Right? I do.
Two defendants charged with shoplifting face 300 days of jail (Denver court) or 10 days (state court).
English
Gov. Jared Polis appears to be signaling that he is open to granting some form of clemency to Tina Peters, as he extends the deadline for such applications denver7.com/news/politics/…

@jaredpolis @AdamKinzinger You literally vetoed a bill (HB25-1147) that provided fairness in sentencing in Colorado.
WE ALL REMEMBER.
I WROTE YOU A LETTER.
Have some integrity, man.
English
@AdamKinzinger Love ya’ man, but the right thing here would be far easier to do without the pressure and obsession

Watching @jaredpolis do this bowing to pressure and obsession of Trump is:
DISGUSTING

Last week, former State Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis was sentenced to probation and community service after being convicted of four felonies including Attempt to Influence a Public Official. She made a horrible mistake, and she was wrong. I hope she learns from this and can rebuild her life. As someone who has known Sonya as a friend for many years, on a personal level I was glad to hear she isn’t going to prison which is a hard place for anyone, no less a retired 68-year old pharmacist. But it is not lost on me that she was convicted of the exact same felony charge as Tina Peters — attempting to influence a public official — and yet Tina Peters, as a non-violent first time offender got a nine year sentence. Justice in Colorado and America needs to be applied evenly, you never know when you might need to depend on the rule of law. This is the context I am using as I consider cases like this that have sentencing disparities, which is why I have extended the deadline for clemency applications until April 3rd. I will be making decisions on these cases throughout the remainder of my governorship.

I do.

Seriously. I can’t tell if we’ve destroyed Iran. Or they’re having a successful counter attack. None of it in chronological order. Half the For You tweets about it from random aggregator accounts trying to make $4. None of it verified. Add in grok + AI slop. Shit show.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

@CoryBooker We need to elect senators who actually understand their oath to the Constitution and are able and willing to meet this moment.
This ain't it, Senator. Get fucking for real.

As a mayor who’s overseen a police department of over a thousand officers, I know there are effective, commonsense policies we can implement to bring transparency and accountability to ICE. That’s why today I’m announcing two proposals that will make Americans safer, and prevent another horrible tragedy.

The phones are back after 12 days no phones.
@CenturyLink @CenturyLinkBiz tells @CBSNews that copper line theft was to blame.
News to us.

@CenturyLink This is POTS. Copper. Line has dial tone. Can't call out. Incoming rings one - then nothing. Service call onsite won't help. Please escalate to Tier 3 to someone who knows what the hell is going on.

DAY 10 - NO PHONES.
@BonnieBraeFlwrs has lost $30k
@CenturyLink @CenturyLinkBiz @lumentechco Again, didn't show. Didn't escalate. Didn't call.

@CenturyLink I have DM'd you. Again. Unless DM means Down Money. @BonnieBraeFlwrs is out almost $40k in sales.
English
@CenturyLink We still have no phones. When I DM you, you give me the 877 number that 1) gives us an appt you don't show up to 2) has us talk to a service rep who tells us there's an 'outage' that will be repaired that evening.
Both are lies.

DAY 9 - NO PHONES FOR @BonnieBraeFlwrs
Complaint filed with @FCC last week.
Still haven't heard/seen from @CenturyLink @CenturyLinkBiz @lumentechco
$27,000 lost for this small business in Denver.
English
@BriannaWu Civilians aren't supposed to react to stressful situations well - 'trained men with guns' are supposed to.
Well trained law enforcement would likely not have put themselves or this mother/others in this situation.
English
One of my first reporter jobs was covering the police and following court cases as they went through the system.
So, I’ve spent a fair amount of time around police. Here is my honest opinion.
Most law enforcement are fairly jaded from dealing with crazy people all day. And if you just show that you’re not crazy and show them respect they will basically ignore you and cut you a break.
That’s not to say all policing is great. That’s not saying mistakes don’t happen. But it is to say, a cool head and complying with orders will generally keep you out of trouble.

@bessscully We’re sorry to hear about the trouble with your phone service. Please send us a direct message so we can assist you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience!
