A prominent Trump supporter is facing life in prison for licking an envelope at a polling location on election day and making a joke, which is apparently considered a bioterror hazard in the age of COVID-19 mass hysteria.
Peter Trzos, a Trump supporter from Keego Harbor, is in court under felony charges for what he claims was a joke made to a city clerk after the clerk made him lick an absentee ballot envelope while he was turning it in at a polling location. Big League Politics broke the story last month when the charges were announced.
“I kinda thought it was a joke and I thought it was funny at the time and then I was like ‘oh my gosh,’ I’m going to be arraigned and out on bond and have court fees and drug tested,” Trzos said. “I mean, you lose your whole life just because someone accused you of something.”...

Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror in Russia and Eastern Europe, bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” was Beria’s infamous boast. He served as deputy premier from 1941 until Stalin’s death in 1953, supervising the expansion of the gulags and other secret detention facilities for political prisoners.

I guess it would have been better to remove the mask and in the middle of licking the envelope have a coughing fit.
Then say, “Excuse me.”
Congressional Republicans voted overwhelmingly for this on January 6th.
Sure. Do we have any ex-pats here to help?
A Communist Purge Is Underway & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
Hand her a tampon and tell her to stuff it.
Well, then. Let me ask you this. Suppose that clerk was your daughter. And some guy said the letter that he handed to your daughter had Covid on it. Would you tell your daughter to just laugh it off, and accept the letter?
Look, I’m not calling that Trsoz guy a criminal. Because he’s not. But I am calling him stupid. And being stupid has its consequences.
So you don’t need evidence that he did something endangering?

It’s a tough call. And that’s why I’d just give him a slap on the wrist. A hundred hours of community service should do the trick.
But there’s no getting around the fact that what he said could be perceived as a threat. And a threat does not require that he actually did something. A threat is just that, a threat.
It’s kinda like someone saying (as a joke) “maybe I’ll put a bomb on that plane.” It doesn’t matter if there is an actual bomb. That guy is going to get himself into some serious hot water.
I think 100 hours of community service is excessive.
$25 to $50 fine would be appropriate.

Got it! They are trying so hard to start a shooting war.
OK Karen.

Especially Joke Biden.
But the guy made more than just a bad joke. He made a joke that could be perceived as a threat.

Bureaucratic power is the problem here, not a bad joke.
PS. I would be ashamed of my daughter if she behaved like that...or him.
