Douglass Mackey-31, is in a Federal Trial in the Eastern District NY for a Satirical Meme

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is being accused of using obscure conspiracy laws to target conservatives.
For example, violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act ordinarily would bring a year in prison. But in the last year, a host of sidewalk counselors at abortion facilities have been charged with both FACE violations and Conspiracy to Violate Civil Rights for posting to Facebook about where they would gather.
The conspiracy charge adds a potential 10-years in federal prison.
Douglass Mackey, 31, is on federal trial this week in the Eastern District of New York for posting a satirical meme under the Twitter handle “Ricky Vaughn” in 2016, advising voters they could vote for Hillary Clinton for president via text message or social media.
The DOJ charged him five years later, in 2021, with Conspiracy Against Rights ( 18 U.S. Code § 241), which carries up to 10-years in prison.

Doj is trash.

His case is an attack on the first amendment. Blatantly unconstitutional and a grotesque display of partisanship and abuse of power. I can't believe his case has gotten this far and that a federal judge is allowing this to happen.

Damn 10 years for a meme? He should just burn down buildings. He would get a lighter sentence.

This is what Decatur, TigerDoc, Tmcgin and Lakeboy mean when they talk about "protecting democracy".

I wonder if an FBI provocateur informant created Pepe and enticed Douglas to dare to make the satirical twitter account?

And democrats should face trial for lying about trans surgery and hormones.

Trump should be sure to hold those handcuffs up high and smile and use that image as campaign ad..."This is what they intend for you if you resist." "I told you so".

I forgot to add that one to the OP. Thanks.

Didn't Hillary have a tantrum because of the text to vote Hillary meme?
So this guy goes to prison for 10 years because of satire? The meme caused her to lose?
How about finding a federal law that bans ignorant people from voting and they go to prison for 10 years---- that would text to vote for Hillary?

Today's reminder that we have too many criminal laws with too severe of penalties, and Trump didn't do shite to combat this major problem.

The poetry in all of this is that Microchip was a confidential witness in this trial. They even called him Mr. Microchip. Lol he glows now.

So, this is Trump's fault also? You've really become quite the sky screamer

The sad and ironic part of this issue is that the Meme is 100% believable.
Just text and Dems accumulate billions of votes from around the world in excess of the total US Population, including the 40 million illegal aliens.
Cannot get an ID but own an iPhone, have communications access and can text. The ultimate goal is that there can be no voters disenfranchised.

Would you want trump or any other president changing or creating laws? Let the legislative branch handle the laws.
Posted on 3/24/23 at 8:32 am to SCLibertarian
Sorry, but you can’t trick people with bad information about how to vote in an election, whether by robocall, text or memes.

Oh boy. Let's see who takes the bait from the board authoritarian.

Which Presidential candidate would have a better chance shutting down the DOJ NSD division that has zero oversight---- Or dismantle the FBI?
Would the GOP do or say anything when Ron is eaten alive and spit-out by the democrats & MSM?
The GOP will say nothing. As long as the business roundtable & the chamber of commerce is happy they are happy-They could care less about winning.
So then the President DeSantis is out there putting through their agenda & policies as ordered.
Flailing like a deer in a headlight brutally attacked. SEE: Romney & GWBush. Anybody can run a State that has yes men surrounding him. President is a whole different ballgame.
You saw Ron go to NY and California. Did they GAF and listen to making their State Florida?
So do you think Ron's fake tough act will dismantle/reform the DOJ much less the FBI?
Not a chance in hell his handlers wouldn't let him dismantle the beast because they are part of the beast.
So you want a quiet mousey idiot GWBush or Romney type and your kids fighting in a war for their money laundering? Just to make the gas-lighting go away and make you all comfy watching a canned BS speech?
