Man convicted of federal charges and faces a decade in prison for posting memes Login/Join

https://nationalfile.com/break...sting-memes-in-2016/

Douglass Mackey, better known by his online alias “Ricky Vaughn,” which took inspiration from the main character of the smash hit, politically incorrect “Major League” movie series, has been convicted of federal election interference charges in the Eastern District of New York, one of the federal bench’s most notoriously left-wing courts. The conviction marks a low point for political free speech in America and has been compared to the Soviet-style targeting of political enemies.

Douglass Mackey, aka Ricky Vaughn, has been convicted of federal charges and faces a decade in prison for posting memes, which were obviously intended as a joke. The memes in question told Hillary Clinton voters to “vote from home” by texting in their vote to a fake phone number, or by posting it along with a “Presidential Election” hashtag, instead of showing up to the polls on election day.

According to federal prosecutors, several Democrat voters actually believed the gags and texted in or hashtagged their “vote” for Hillary Clinton, thereby “depriving” them of their right to vote at the hands of Mackey’s satirical online persona.

Ironically, while voting from home sounded like such a pipe dream in 2016 that the very idea of it was considered a joke, just four years later, Democrats illegally changed election laws all over the country to allow millions of people (or alleged people) to vote from home.

“Douglass Mackey, also known as ‘Ricky Vaughn,’ was convicted today by a federal jury in Brooklyn of the charge of Conspiracy Against Rights stemming from his scheme to deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote,” an official statement from the Eastern District of New York reads, announcing Mackey’s conviction. “When sentenced, Mackey faces a maximum of 10 years in prison,” the statement goes on to say.

Notably, Douglass Mackey is a Floridian, but was charged by the openly left-wing Eastern District of New York in 2021 and extradited to that state to face trial.

This situation is still developing. Stick with National File for more coverage of the Douglass Mackey/Ricky Vaughn trial and sentencing in the Eastern District of New York.

Democrats have absolutely no sense of humor at all and have to be the most butt hurt people in history.

^^^We 'should' be so lucky, but unfortunately NOT...Kind of a lame attempt at a bad joke actually! This is NOT a laughing matter, and the seriousness of the harms brought on our system of justice, as well as the founding principles of our country are profound! We are witnessing a coordinated attack on the inalienable rights of all Americans! It's just that the .gov is specifically targeting one group, at least for now!

It is amazing about their hypocrisy. They have no problem allowing fake voting ballots on their side but all of the sudden they have rules of standards.

If these fools were too stupid to realize this was a joke, then they had no business voting anyway. What Rush Limbaugh used to call "low information voters"

Those memes would be very disruptive to the Democrats voting base...they can barely comprehend who their supposed to vote for and where the bus will pick them up to get them to the polls. Unbelievable what the Democrats are doing with the justice system in this country and they are being cheered on by their partners in the media. They must believe their grip on the media will allow them to spin the coming revolt as bad MAGA insurrection #2.

Hypocricy yes, the epitome of the double standard of US Justice System as currently weaponized.

Here's the Tucker Carlson from last night:

Hardly anyone didn't realize this was a joke. The prosecution shamelessly used what was most likely people just playing along with the joke by texting to that number. How could they prove otherwise? They couldn't. I don't believe they produced a single "victim" at trial.

I am disgusted by this whole case. Seriously disgusted. Any one of us could've been Douglass Mackey. The intent of course is to scare conservatives into silence.

The common saying “The Left Can’t Meme” is proven true time and time again. Not only are they incapable of creating an original meme, they are completely bewildered by them.

Reading between the lines you see how important it is for them to control the narrative and silence anyone who may gain traction against them.
