'Killer' Las Vegas Democrat slurs 'You guys just wanna take me down because I'm a public official' at cops during 2020 arrest for 'throttling wife' as he refuses to deny murdering journalist who exposed his affair

A Las Vegas official charged with the murder of investigative reporter Jeff German, who exposed his affair, told police during his 2020 arrest for abusing his wife they wanted to take him down because he is a 'public official'. Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles, 45, was arrested on March 1, 2020, after police received a call from Mae Ismael, his wife, alleging he drunkenly grabbed her by the neck and hit her arm as they returned from the Bellagio casino. He allegedly also screamed, 'kill me.' Newly released body camera footage now shows Telles slurring his words as officers walk him outside his suburban home in handcuffs and shove him in the backseat of a police car. 'Can anyone tell me who I hit?' Telles said repeatedly as police detained him. 'Because I didn't hit anybody?' Telles added, 'You guys just want to take me down because I'm a public official.' 'No we don't,' an officer responded to the county official as Telles proceeded to deny the abuse allegations. The arrest occurred more than two years before Telles was arrested for the September 3 murder of German, a journalist with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, who exposed the official's affair with another woman that worked in his office. Telles was arrested on September 7 after DNA evidence found under German's fingernails allegedly matched his.

Abbott's idea was clever and made the point. I'm not sure I entirely disagree with Sheriff Javier Salazar. I like the message but am not sure the method passes the sniff test.

Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Shoots Down Tech Platform Censorship: Supreme Court Showdown Likely​

A major 90-page decision from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana represents a big victor for First Amendment, freedom of speech advocates, especially in the age of COVID-19. We are in a time when the federal government, in an unprecedented manner, freely admits to coordinating and possibly conspiring with big media and big tech to consistently and systematically scrub digital information the government deems inaccurate or worse, misinformation online.



Excerpt from the Declaration of Independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Nancy Pelosi, 82, is savagely booed during appearance at NYC's Global Citizen music festival in Central Park - after schmoozing backstage with A-listers and drunk-driver husband Paul

Nancy Pelosi, 82, was attending the Global Citizen's music festival in Central Park on Saturday night with her husband, Paul, when Indian actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas invited the Democrat on stage. As the House Speaker discussed plans in Congress to cut carbon emissions, members of the audience could be heard booing Pelosi. 'It's Nancy Pelosi,' one audience member recording the incident could be heard saying, surprised to see the US representative there. 'Why is everyone booing?' Prior to her appearance on stage, many eyes were on the House Speaker as it was one of her first major public outings following Paul's drunk driving conviction.

Pelosi’s reign is just about over and she knows it. Democrats aren’t going to tolerate huge losses in Congress this time around. A new leader will be in order. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Ocasio Cortez make a run for the top spot. She will probably get crushed but this might be the only chance for her.

Can't take them anywhere! Now VP Kamala Harris says U.S. has a 'strong alliance with NORTH Korea' - in another White House gaffe - 24 hours after President Biden tried to pick out dead congresswoman in crowd

Kamala Harris continued an embarrassing week for the White House by mistakenly touting the U.S. alliance with 'the Republic of North Korea' - just one day after President Joe Biden called out for a dead congresswoman at an event on ending hunger. The vice president concluded her trip through Asia with a visit to the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on Thursday where she made the gaffe confusing the communist North Korea with U.S. ally nation of South Korea. 'The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea,' Harris said during a speech at the DMZ Thursday, intending to refer to the Republic of Korea, the official name of South Korea.

Those are DT's fault - he bought a Weather Machine from Simon Bar Sinister. We all know it and if you don't you're a racist threat to democracy. Probably fart in elevators too.

"Which party is the most historically crooked, the Democratic Party or the Republican Party? How many indictments and convictions have each of them had in every administration since WWII?

Our score so far: Republicans 89, Democrats 1

"
According to Mother Jones here, in the past 50 years the score is 89–1 to the bent Republicans. In the next few months that number will rise.
There will be numerous answers below that point out the criminal history of Obama and both Clintons. Those answers will be wrong.
While the Republicans like to spend hundreds of millions of dollars looking for crimes in Democrat administrations, they don’t have much success.
They do it because their own governments are so relentlessly and predictably corrupt, and so regularly end in criminal indictments, that they feel it’s only fair if the Dems go to jail too.
But the truth is the Democrats just aren’t as bent as the Republicans, and the current administration {Trumps},
rotten to the core and rife with corruption, is the pinnacle of Republican achievement in sleaze."

Partisan politics ate the problem. Both parties suck.

Yep, if people would vote for merits instead of party things might be more balanced in our government...Lately the leftist have vilified all their competition, mainly the right, judging by the above post, seems that kool-aid has been passed around...Even Biden has vilified Italy's recent election with a certain amount of ignorance that goes unnoticed for those drinking that kool-aid...The left needs the right and vise versa in order to maintain checks and balances...Without one or the other, the result is madness and suffering for the people...

Kamala Harris ripped for claiming government's Hurricane Ian relief will prioritize ‘communities of color’

DeSantis rapid response director Christina Pushaw claimed Harris' statements were 'false' and causing 'undue panic' among Floridians.

Twitter hammered Vice President Kamala Harris for a recent speech in which she described that federal Hurricane Ian relief would be based on "equity" and prioritize people in "communities of color."

Speaking to actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas at the Democratic National Committee's Women's Leadership Forum on Friday, Harris claimed that people of color and low-income communities are most affected by natural disasters such as Hurricane Ian. Because of this, Harris described how federal relief should be given "based on equity."

It seems to me Trump causes three major reactions in many people, people love him (often those who are far-right), or hate him (often those who are far-left), or fear him (often those who are moderates and independents), the rest remain indifferent and continue along unaffected...All three reactions are manufactured through the media outlets actively encouraging one of those three reactions...The democrats want people to hate him and actively promote this hatred because they find it very successful in associating Trump with the republican party in general, thereby getting people to hate the republicans and vote democrat, people just follow along...The democrats are just as corrupt as the republicans, but they don't have one singular individual to point fingers at, unlike the orange man...So reactionary behavior from one of three of those manufactured and promoted choices of love, hate, or fear only plays right into their hands, whether it be the right wing or the left wing but at some point it doesn't matter anymore, all three of those choices if left unchecked eventually melt down into what's commonly known as Trump Detrangement Syndrome (TDS)...Look at what's happening with Cheney, once a rational and reasonable politician, now consumed with so much hatred for the orange man, she has lost her way and derailed her entire political career...Some in the democratic party fear or hate Trump so much they were willing to lie to and decide the public, creating and promoting the Russian collusion hoax...Some right leaning citizens supported (loved) Trump so much they stormed the Capital...We could go on and on with examples of TDS from all sides politically, the reactions promoted through media outlets with no regard for the true outcome from all of the manufactured love, hate, or fear of that disgusting man...

Obama judge slaps down Stacey Abrams' election lawsuit in state Biden labeled ‘Jim Crow 2.0’

A federal judge sided with the state of Georgia in a lawsuit filed by a group associated with Democrat Stacey Abrams challenging the constitutionality of its election practices.

"Although Georgia’s election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the constitution nor the VRA," U.S. District Judge Steve Jones, an Obama appointee, wrote, referring to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He detailed his reasoning in a 288-page order siding against Abrams’ Fair Fight Georgia group in a lawsuit filed four years ago alleging voter suppression and racial discrimination after she narrowly lost to the state’s current Republican Gov. Brian Kemp
