How fucked up is this?

A bunch of random men dressed in camo with their faces covered and armed with AR-15s are allowed to 'monitor' ballot drop boxes in Arizona provided they stay 250 feet away from the drop box. Even that restriction wasn't originally enforced.

This is clear voter intimidation of the type used in countries like Zimbabwe but the far right Trumpian MAGA lunatics justify it to prevent 'ballot stuffing' (they still believe the debunked bullshit in 2000 Mules) and safeguard democracy.

Federal judge issues restraining order against group monitoring Arizona ballot boxes

The order prohibits members of Clean Elections USA from carrying weapons or wearing body armor within 250 feet of drop boxes.

A judge shut them down and had some fun with it -

Furthermore, he told the group's founder, Melody Jennings, to post a message to her account on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump's social media platform, that reads in part: “It is not always illegal to deposit multiple ballots in a ballot drop box. It is legal to deposit the ballot of a family member, household member, or person for whom you are the caregiver."

On the contrary I think everyone is starting to enjoy watching the thin skinned narcist floundering about having lost a fuckload of money buying something he didn't really want to buy.

Lol at that video

"According to Breibart..."
"Lefties this, leftist that"
"Donald Trump got kicked off twtter cos he was such a maverick..."
"Hunter Biden"
"I have a smart audience"

I thought everyone knew that governments (not just in the US) had asked social media companies to take a stronger stance against disinformation on their platforms particularly during covid, with all the Antivax shite. Or am I missing something? How is any of that news?
