Ex-Dem Congressman Who Took Abscam Bribes Admits To Rigging Philly Elections​

(article)
A Democrat who was booted from the House of Representatives and went to prison for his role in a 1970s bribery scandal pleaded guilty Monday to stuffing Philadelphia-area ballot boxes with fraudulent votes for years to get his party’s candidates elected.

Former U.S. Rep. Michael J. “Ozzie” Myers, who was expelled from Congress in 1980 after being caught taking bribes in the Abscam sting investigation, cheated to help local candidates he worked for win the elections, federal prosecutors said. Myers, 79, was a political consultant in the Philadelphia area.

“Votes are not things to be purchased and democracy is not for sale,” U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams said in a news release.

Myers pleaded guilty to violations of election law, conspiracy, bribery and obstruction. Prosecutors said Myers stuffed ballot boxes in elections from 2014-2018.

Myers’ “criminal efforts were generally, although not exclusively, directed at securing election victories for local judicial candidates running for Philadelphia’s Court of Common Pleas or Municipal Court who had employed Myers as a ‘political consultant,’” prosecutors said.

Myers admitted he bribed elections judge Domenick Demuro to add votes for his chosen candidates, including clients who were running for judge. The bribes were for as little as $300 and as much as $5,000, authorities said. Demuro pleaded guilty in May 2020 and was convicted for his role in accepting bribes to cast fraudulent ballots and certify false voting results. Myers also conspired with another elections judge, Marie Beren, to pressure voters on election days to vote for candidates that Myers had selected. Been, who cast fraudulent votes for people who did not appear at the polls, pleaded guilty to election crimes last October.

In the late 1970s Abscam sting, Myers, then a two-term congressman, was convicted of bribery and conspiracy for taking $50,000 from FBI agents posing as Arab sheiks. He served just over a year in prison. Myers had served six years in the Pennsylvania legislature before being elected to Congress in 1976.

The Abscam sting swept up five other U.S. House members all but one of whom were Democrats, U.S. Senator Harrison Williams, (D-N.J.), three Philadelphia City Council members and the then-mayor of Camden.

One of the House members netted in the sting, South Carolina Democrat John Jenrette, was famously caught telling an undercover agent posing as a sheikh and offering a bribe, “I’ve got larceny in my blood. I’d take it in a goddamn minute.”

Myers faces up to 20 years in prison on the new charges.
Most secure elections ever.
 
I can't tell if this statement is stupid or ballsy AF.

I mean, 4D-Underwater-Backgammon memes aside, Trump has always been a loose cannon. That's been both his biggest strength and biggest weakness. It's possible that he seriously didn't think before posting, or he's confident enough that people at large are sick enough of the Democrats' mismanagement and bullshit that no one outside of the Acela corridor will care.
 
Assuming they don't nuke the filibuster for it. Even if Manchin or Sinema won't, Collins, Murkowski, or Romney will.

I always assume these conniving little fucks will get away with it, until they are defeated.
They can't nuke the filibuster, especially at this point when they are on the verge of losing control over the Senate.

Ok so is Mo Brooks "woke" or not? I keep getting that weird propaganda mail from supposed neutral groups shitting on him. I've also gotten a Britt one. One of them was literally called "Alabamarino."

NOT MY HECKIN ALABAMARINOS!!!

Anyway, I don't watch Styx a lot but I do drop in from time to time and today when I saw the Chesa Boudin video I was legitimately shocked. Honest to God I would've bet money Newsome was more likely to have been recalled than the DA of San Fran.

Newsome doesn't actively purge/punish the rank and file drones with powerful families behind them like Boudin did. Also better PR game and a better ability to play the shell game to hide the violent consequences of his policies.
 
Jesus Christ. I'm on a lefty Discord and all of them are glued to the TV. They actually buy into the "insurrection" nonsense and think that the Dems are fighting the good fight here. They don't have a lot of answers when I ask them what they're fighting against.

I'm also tied into moderate politics groups and they're still asking for the POTATUS's head on a spike.

As a general rule of thumb, if you compare a ruler of a one-party state (Newsom) to a local official (Boudin), it's infinitely easier to remove the local official from power. It's just so much harder to convince millions of Californians to stop voting blue and acknowledge that them voting Newsom into power is the direct cause of California's current woes.

Any misdeeds that Boudin committed against the party/overall political elite of San Francisco were specific to him, although they did contribute to his ousting.
 
While I wouldn't put it past the left to sacrifice a few dozen of their idiot footsoldiers to make a new Abortionist Kent State, Biden's already freaked out about his poll numbers and approval rating, and I can't see them oking it.

Then again, if the DNC Civil War has gone spare, then hey, why not throw Biden under the most bussy of busses? After all, the Media can just claim it was the GOP's fault for daring to "stop" the massive expansion of federal powers baby murder.
They can't get rid of Biden until two years and one day to maximize Harris's possible tenure as President.

A new "Abortionist Kent State", imagine the possible memes that would come from this.
Someone needs to photoshop women going into abortion clinics since THAT is the abortionist kent state meme in a nutshell.

They lost their ability to cheat?

TL;DR the Democrats and their (((elite))) allies had a bunch of debts they were expected to pay when Hillary got elected but couldn't and they had to go into even more debt (favors and money/bribes) to get Biden elected but outside Keystone getting shut down, the Democrats and the (((elites))) can't get anything done to pay off those debts especially after the Big Back Better graft package got shot down.

So their ability to steal 2022 and 2024 are hampered by this unless they go full faschy and steal the elections and dare the people to go 1789 on them.

Recession is imminent. The simulation is replaying 2008.

EDIT: Whoever's the janny editing my pics into thumbnails, I want to say thanks. I keep forgetting.

Recession? Try a fucking Great Depression.

Bush and Obama BARELY kept the crash of 2008 from being Great Depression 2.0 but now there is NOTHING to stop us from reaching the horror show of 1929 when the economy crashed globally.

The year is 2152. The senate overseen by Nancy Pelosi's who's head is in a jar welded to a robot body launches the yearly ritual hearing bitching about mythical Jan 6 genocide on capital hill and how this time for sure they are going to show that Trump (who has long since died but uploaded his brain to a mainframe) was at fault for the whole thing.
 
It's Trump. He basically incriminated himself on social media.
He can't keep getting away with it, speaking in the same way about a riot as his political opponents did during more numerous, much lengthier, more violent, more destructive, and more murderous riots two years ago

Incriminating himself? About what?
Look, he is just shitposting to trigger his political enemies.
That is what he does. He shitposts and every single time his enemies takes it literally and goes full autist about it.
If I were to guess he wants all the democrats to go mental about this and cover it with wall to wall crying about how this is the worst problem in the america currently. While normal people struggle with inflation, gas prices and buying food for their families. So his candidates will do well in the midterms.

The more the democrats focus on talking about J6, an issue virtually no one cares about any more, is less focus for them to talk about things that people actually care about, and elections are just around the corner.

He is shitposting to make some people over-react and make them look out-of-touch with the electorate about an issue that most people stopped caring about many months ago. Or maybe he was drunk. It is hard to tell sometimes because sometimes his shitposting goes way too far.


I for one look forward to see how people will catastrophe this and how this is proof this is worse than the holocaust.
It will be epic to watch. Many lolz to come.

4D chess, my bad.

Either that or he was drunk. In any case, J6 and its investigation is not something very many people care about anymore, so I have no better explanation of him wasting time to talk about it. Either drunk or 4d chess.

EDIT: 4d chess is a much more fun theory, almost kojima style, than the boring 'he drunkposted'..

Trump doesn't drink. My guess is his ego.
 
I love Orange Man for what he is, a shitposter and surprisingly good at international realpolitik - but I won't lie, if the leftoids do manage to somehow get him off the ticket in 2024, I won't exactly mourn the reinvigorated right turning to a much more competent and youthful man like DeSantis to pound the Dems assholes raw.

I don't think any amount of J6 theater will save them in the midterms. The very best they seem to have to hope for is that it's enough to get trump off the ticket for 2024, which while that would suck, I don't think they understand that Trump is too old to really pit the future on anymore and we have better options now specifically thanks to Trump resetting the political field.
