I haven't discussed my cancer in a while, but a few days ago I received some news which has confirmed my current whereabouts, and I felt it was worth sharing. THREAD 1/

just found out this guy was real friends with Eric Swalwell and didn't say a word

@BJurns48955 @dormant000 Gotta love when these people dont understand the topic, preemptively block you, and accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist because I reject their conspiracy theory.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@BJurns48955 @dormant000 If you have read any criminal procedure then you would know that this behavior is typical of all cops, Mormon or not.

@nicholasdeorio I don’t think he’s saying to do that, I think he’s saying Ben should not be saying things like “I technically meet all the elements of stalking” or speaking with the cops because there is a 1000% chance that will be used against him in his criminal case.

Hot take? Cornyn endorsing the Libertarian would be better for Talarico than Cornyn endorsing Talarico. A lot of Cornyn supporters would rather eat bricks than vote for a Dem. A libertarian however... Is another story.

[Jedi @dhe3g]

He did this without cutting any social services,btw.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@zkwerrell @itskikidanger The only reason why is because of 50 years of horrible conservative Supreme Court precedent that shield bad cops when they violate the constitution though.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

I’m one of the more skeptical people when it comes to whether Ben will get out of those criminal charges but yeesh this is terrible police work. This is what happens when “Back the Blue” supporters control cops for 50 years. Complete incompetence.

CEO @AmmonMcNeff explains the situation on body cam from the @afpolice body cam footage.

This explains it all.

Oh no he's only winning by 4, let's replace him with the 80-year-old who is losing by 8

@tsvnxmi @urmom_eth @coffeebreak_YT Please look at the date. That information had not been released when I replied. Good thing I cautioned against believing the police, who love to lie.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@INeedPS47899090 @urmom_eth @coffeebreak_YT I saw. Still should not have joined the process server when she was trying to do here job, there was no reason to do that and it will 100% be used against him in court.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@JakeIdaho208 @IanRunkle I think the crimes he’s charged with go beyond fines, isn’t there like a 5 year sentence risk?

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@mkgeiger1968 @IanRunkle @DoctorWho1975 The relevant (ex) franchise owner is. Supporting her is probably the smarter move for accomplishing something.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@IamR0galD0rn That’s the thing though. If they can frame it as “we were conversing about what the law means” and they can get a judge to believe it was reasonable to think that, then they are entitled to QI. I am for getting rid of QI btw, it has done nothing but shield incompetents.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@IamR0galD0rn You have to prove the conspiracy first and to that you need to show it was clearly established to be unconstitutional.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@someguy595 @ShakeDrizzle I should not quotes are paraphrasing, probably should have confirmed first. I can find the statute if you want the actual language.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@someguy595 @ShakeDrizzle He did say that, but he didn’t read the whole statute, which requires a “reasonable person in the victim’s position.” But yeah probably a jury question there.

[Thomas the Political NinjaTrekkie @PolNinjaTrekkie]

@WillLewis_1976 @SirScoots @johnbryanesq Not just character impeachment. Probable cause is a defense for both Unlawful Arrest and First Amendment retaliation, so a conviction would lead to not being able to sue the cops under those causes of action.
