The election fraud lawsuits have started again.
…
But Trump chose to stoke the flames Wednesday morning, posting on Truth Social that “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before.”
“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.
Bucks County officials confirmed to NBC Philadelphia that they had been notified of the lawsuit, but did not provide further comment. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, meanwhile, shot back at the Republican presidential nominee, highlighting that Trump and his allies have spent the last four years actively corroding public trust in U.S. elections—and that they are currently warming up their second conspiracy to undermine the 2024 election results.
Ok, I am officially done with US election news and will apply filters on my app.
The way american law enforcement and the judiciary works there is absolutely idiotic.
Here you have a convicted felon who keeps spewing libellous and damaging lies aimed at destabilizing the political system and the election process and even when rare prosecutors get a judge to hear out the case, the judge cowls and refuses to apply the law just because the guy is a presidential candidate. But then Trump files suit after suit and can bog down the judiciary to the point of actually interfering in the election process and somehow this is allowed in the USA?
On the other hand there is a billionaire (Musk) who does the same, even breaking state law in addition to federal law, and then the judge also refuses to take action - even if some of the offences were squarely under state jurisdiction - presumably because the billionaire is too rich (on the PA case, Musk laywers argued that “Musk is an extremely busy man” and could not show up - if it was a non-billionaire, the judge would definitely issue an arrest warrant to bring the poor soul’s ass back into court).
If America elects Trumps and the world descends into unmitigated chaos, that’s because America’s weak-ass institutions and laws were completely ineffective to those with either money or power. No wonder MAGA and non-MAGA alike resort into extremism, since institutions and laws are applied so differently to people with money.
