Failed GOP candidate arrested on suspicion of orchestrating shootings at homes of Democrats in New Mexico
A Republican former candidate for New Mexico’s legislature who police say claimed election fraud after his defeat has been arrested on suspicion of orchestrating recent shootings that damaged homes of Democratic elected leaders in the state, police said.
During the fall campaign, Peña’s opponent, Democratic state Rep. Miguel Garcia, sued to have Peña removed from the ballot, arguing Peña’s status as an ex-felon should prevent him from being able to run for public office in the state, CNN affiliate KOAT reported. Peña served nearly seven years in prison after a 2008 conviction for stealing a large volume of goods in a “smash and grab scheme,” the KOAT report said.
A district court judge ruled Peña was allowed to run in the election, according to KOAT. He lost his race to Garcia, 26% to 74%.

I mean ... I know the American Right has been outright gorging on itself lately, but this is flabbergasting.

the only thing dumber than the republicans muffling about for 15 votes on the speaker was the democrats getting hyped at jefferies reciting the alphabet
somehow term after term the house sets the bar lower and lower and inevitably the next congress manages to still be losers through and through
- The World is watching, no GOP gov will be trusted ever going forward.grafician
- oh unless Arnie makes a move, then yeah, as everybody loves Arnoldgrafician
- Arnold can’t be president moronmonospaced
- And nothing the democrats did is as stupid as what the republicans are doing. They didn’t celebrate his reciting the alphabet either.monospaced
- Arnold doesn't have to be president, just become a GOP leader to bring the party on the right track again. But he's too old probably.grafician
- No one would listen to him, there's no audience for any message like that. That's the problem, the GOP fanaticism doesn't only come from the politicians.yuekit

Shout out to Georgia, but y'all need to do a deep dive into the fact that Walker was a cunt hair away from a senate seat.
He's an anti-abortionist who paid for multiple abortions, is clearly a moron pawn of the GOP, actually lives in Texas, and one of his campaign points was that he was the true he was was the true "man of God" in this race.
Big pause - Warnock is a pastor at motherfucking EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH. For non-Americans, that's MLK's old church. Fuck's sake.
- "was the true man of god". Although my typo reads how his broken brain talks, so it stands.garbage

January 1, 2023, all U.S. citizens traveling to the 26 Schengen Zone countries will need to register with ETIAS or will risk being denied entry.
- with a $10 feested
- it's basically means that you need a visa to enter the EU.sted
- It's just like the $21.00 USD ESTA to travel to the States. Not a visa.palimpsest
- ESTA isn't just a type of Visa? (has authentication, time limit, etc) it's just not labeled that way :)sted
