They set $100K bond and she could get a 15 year prison sentence!?!?!? That's insane. Far far out of proportion to what she said. Obviously there's no way she is any kind of a threat to anyone and they know it. But they're going to fuck her over to make an example of her. What a dystopia we're living in.

It feels like the elites "putting us in our place". This is a form of torture, a sentence or threat of a sentence that is far too strict for the crime. Publicize it so the masses can see.

Feels like they're trying to show us what happens when we get uppity with the billionaire class.

Hopefully I'm wrong. Hopefully there's still rule of law, a judge throws it out, and maybe she can sue. Time will tell.

Time will tell

No shit. There's no need to "wait and see". We see it every day.

I think it will backfire on them. I think "the elites" have lost control of the situation, and efforts like this are just throwing fuel on the fire.

By attempting to fill every blank surface, moment of silence, or peaceful thought with an advertisement they inadvertently snapped off the consent manufactorum they were dangling from. Thinking it was holding them back.
