If it's illegal, I'm sure there'll be a criminal case, anytime soon. *cough* Assuming it is illegal, though, it's also illegal for British Brexit politicians to manipulate voters with hyperbolic ads on busses, it seems. Making it illegal to "undermine" a president is even worse than the thing several people regularly attack Monte's Britain for. But hey, like with my opinion of Britain... if you want to be good, little authoritarian sheep, I've no problem with that. Your country, your ass, your decisions, your consequences.
Point of order.
It is not ''illegal for British Brexit politicians to manipulate voters with hyperbolic ads on busses''.
Boris has not been charged with hyperbole, the charge is misconduct in a public office. Specifically for misrepresenting financial data in order to deliberately mislead voters.
This is a case brought by a private citizen who somehow didn't know that he was supposed to ''a good little authoritarian sheep''.
It may get thrown out of court and fail to set a precedent or it may succeed, in which case Boris can appeal all the way to the European Court of Human Rights if he so desires.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

See, if you want to know what unprincipled lust for power looks like read above. Don't be like English Flaggot, avoid.

Anyone got a link to the video of Nancy Pelosi that was banned by YouTube and Facebook ?
It apparently is a vid of Pelosi speaking slowed down and she sounds drunk as hell.
Hold on. I thought the right to lie was free speech?

Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich says he won't follow a new state law that forbids local officials from helping federal agents enforce some immigration laws.
Knezovich, a Republican, also contends that Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee should be arrested for obstruction of justice after signing the law last month.
The Spokesman-Review reports that the law was passed by the Legislature and designed partly to support the state economy and immigrants' role in the workplace.
Knezovich says the law sets up Washington as a "sanctuary state" and would prevent his officers from working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal officials in preventing crime by people who are in the country illegally.
Knezovich contends that what's really behind the law is Democrats' animus toward Republican President Donald Trump.
