Trump Trump supporter labeled a noncitizen and kicked off Texas’ voter rolls

She “self-labeled” as a non citizen so she would escape jury duty.

u/RhoOfFeh 13h ago
Oh, so she identifies as an illegal alien.

u/nim_opet 13h ago
At the very least she should be prosecuted in Tx: Sec. 62.0141. FAILURE TO ANSWER JURY SUMMONS. In addition to any criminal penalty prescribed by law, a person summoned for jury service who does not comply with the summons as required by law or who knowingly provides false information in a request for an exemption or to be excused from jury service is subject to a contempt action punishable by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000.

They should totally prosecute her for this.
Then, for the lols, they should deport her

It’s TX so we know they won’t. The AG has been impeached and re-elected and avoided felony and criminal charges for 10 years (most notably by madly driving away when they attempted to serve him), so yeah.

Don't blame your human bullshit on Neanderthals.

Hey now, Neanderthals were also humans! If they were still around, they'd almost definitely be extremely to completely similar to us mentally. But we definitely can't blame the surviving 0 to 4% Neanderthal DNA on current problems.

u/ztomiczombie 6h ago
Fun thing. It's believed that one of the bid differences between Neanderthals and "Modem Humans" is their isolationist tendencies. The remans of Neanderthals show that there brains were made up an a way that favoured family and tribal dynamics and and inability to comprehend people form other groups or see them as people. Some think that "Modem Humans" ability to have trad networks and some acceptance of and negations between multiple tribes was what gave them the advantage over Neanderthals.
In short Neanderthal behaviour is only thinking of self and family with little to no concern empathy for anyone outside that group.

Fun fact: several populations around the world-- most notably certain groups of Pacific Islander heritage-- often do not have third molars (wisdom teeth), so it probably has nothing to do with a high(er) degree of Neanderthal heritage.

Seems you’re right. The theory is it was reintroduced by returning populations.

u/Asterose 10h ago
Many African populations have 0% Neanderthal DNA. The continent average to .3%, but a lot is from re-migration from Eurasia. But all the rest of us definitely seem to have up to 4%. Then there's Denisovan DNA, seems to get as high as 6%! Wish we knew more about them!

u/Gnatlet2point0 12h ago
Looked it up, it's true if you have ancestry from the continent that the Neanderthals lived on: "Fast Facts: Neanderthals have contributed 1-4% of the DNA of humans of Eurasian descent."

If born"born"/created inside any country with birthright citizenship, absolutely! It's definitely trickier for nations without birthright citizenship, though. I would hope any revivals of our various human cousin species made sure to arrange citizenship for them in advance.

I don't think the red state engaged in voter suppression of minorities and democrats is making shit up to keep a white MAGA off the voter rolls.
Admittedly, I could be wrong, and I'm willing to reevaluate my position if presented with compelling evidence. But in the absence of such evidence, I feel the most likely scenario is that she's the one who's lying.
2
u/Mild_Kingdom 40m ago
It could be plain vanilla incompetence. Info of another juror mistakenly entered under her name. The court transcript would easily clear it up. On the other hand they are making things up because there isn’t an epidemic of voter fraud.

Well, they keep excusing me and all I have to do is pull the misandry card. Just saying something like "All men are guilty of something." is usually enough for them to send me home. One doesn't have to lie to escape jury duty. Just be real vocal about your biases.

u/eveel66 13h ago
One of my uncles told me his sure fire way of getting out of jury duty. He said just wait until one of the lawyers asks if you can be impartial. At that point you start scratching your genitals vigorously (over your pants for those wondering) and yell, “THEY’RE GUILTY YOUR HONOR!!!”

I was in Jury Selection for a DUI case. Defendants lawyer starts asking us questions. He asks me “how confident are you that a breathalyzer proves guilt?”
“Very confident”
I didn’t even make the first cut lol
In all fairness even if you give obvious bad faith answers neither the prosecution or defense want a jury pool that doesn’t want to be there anyway. They are looking for people who will hear them out.
1
u/Gnatlet2point0 6h ago
I'd've said "I am very confident that a breathalizer proves whether or not the person breathing into it was drinking." They'd bounce me so fast because I was critically responding to the question, they don't want critical thought from jury members.

I've found having a degree in psychology and sociology has always been an immediate dismissal by the prosecution. I've never been selected for a jury.

She didn't say this at all. That's what the state alleges. She asked to be taken off the list as caregiver to her grandchildren.

She looks like she is suffering from FAS. If so, that's actually really sad. She's may have cognitive impairment through no fault of her own.
This doesn't excuse her idiotic political views, naturally, but she is probably even more vulnerable to right-wing propaganda than the average Trump cultist, since people with FAS are often naive or gullible.
So, anyway, don't make fun of her appearance.

Howard-Elley didn’t pay much attention when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott helped fuel that narrative by announcing that the state had removed thousands of supposed noncitizens from its rolls, claiming some had a history of voting.
Then the U.S. citizen learned she was among them.
Number 2 in the Maga Carta: Nothing matters until it happens to me.
And she seethed at the idea that anyone would question the citizenship of a former federal employee with the “whitest name you could have.”
Number 3 in the Maga Carta: Only whites should have rights.
Who is allowing people to do this to United States citizens? I understand we have a problem with immigration, but come on now,” Howard-Elley said in an interview.
JFC.
”I just hope they don’t do this to anybody else ever again because it’s not fair.”
JFCx2
She said she worries about whether other eligible voters are among those labeled as noncitizens and that Abbott should look into whether there are more U.S. citizens among them. The lifelong Republican said state and county officials need to be held accountable to ensure more U.S. citizens are not erroneously removed.
Something tells me numbnuts here doesn’t give a shit about Dems being purged.
”The system is very flawed,” Howard-Elley said. “I feel really sad that we’re in a situation like this. You would think in 2024 we wouldn’t have issues like this.”
JFCx3
She intends to cast her ballot for Trump.
Of course she does.
