The GOP never tires of wasting time and money on 2020

 

You'd think if nothing else, it would suck up resources for interfering with 2026 and 2028.

 What she wants is a place in the White House.

Just the worst of humanity is crawling out from under every rock on the planet.

Finally, somebody's doing something

Republicans cheat

 

Are you surprised?

Grijalva won the special election in Arizona handily.   She's a diehard progressive and will be a vote to release the Epstein files.  Arizona officials formally certify the results of the election October 14.  I'm expecting Johnson to find a reason not to swear her in even then.

Our love affair with AI is speeding up our destruction

 

Which will we reach first:  the singularity or extinction?

Also, this is just bizarre...

The judge should never have allowed that in court.  Someone else is putting words in the mouth of the victim.

"To [...] the man who shot me, it is a shame we encountered each other that day in those circumstances. In another life, we probably could have been friends. [...] I believe in forgiveness and a god who forgives.  I always have, and I still do."

This wasn't introduced in the trial.  It was only an impact statement for sentencing, but still, it's a terrible step in courtroom evidence.

MAGA doing its thing

Do MAGA Republican officials know anything about anything?

Poor Mark Meadows

Happy to see it

Wheels of justice drag

Trump in Arizona

Hilarious.

Arizona Republic national politics editor Dan Nowicki tweeted a birds-eye view photo of the rally stage that showed Lake speaking to a crowd of supporters while a teleprompter message from someone named "Colton" instructed her to "wrap asap" with a timer showing that her speech had gone on for six minutes longer than her allotted time.

[...]

Lake wasn't the only speaker at Trump's rally who he rushed off the stage. When Arizona Police Association president Justin Harris was speaking about crime rates, Trump — who was standing directly over his shoulder — was heard telling him "you gotta go." Harris then thumbed through several other pages of his speech, while asking the crowd to "let me finish up here please."

According to the Daily Mail, the crowd grew impatient with Harris after his speech dragged on for more than ten minutes. At one point, supporters reportedly chanted for the former president to take back the microphone.

I assume she did.

BOLO: Republican attempts to disrupt vote counts

Voting in Arizona’s July 30 primary went smoothly around the state, with no major technical or logistical issues, according to observers from both major political parties, elected officials, and candidates. But there were disruptions Monday in two of the state’s largest counties, as their boards of supervisors moved to certify the results.

In Pinal, [Kevin] Cavanaugh voted “aye under duress” to certify the results, later explaining that he felt forced to do so even though he doesn’t believe the results were accurate, including in the sheriff’s race, which he lost by a 2-to-1 margin. And in Maricopa, the epicenter of election conspiracy theories since 2020, residents yelled at the supervisors from the podium during the public comment period, with one saying she had more faith in Russia’s elections because “Maricopa is a joke.”

[...]

Cavanaugh said he has identified what he believes to be a suspicious pattern in the results that signal cheating. But data analysts who reviewed the results say that by itself, the pattern he identified doesn’t indicate a problem with the results. County officials and observers from both major political parties say they believe the results are accurate.

[...]

In Arizona, supervisors can postpone the certification only if some results are missing. That was not the case in this election. Any challenges to the results, under state law, have to be filed in court shortly after the secretary of state certifies the statewide results.

The vote to certify is “not the board saying we support, we believe this is correct,” Volkmer said. “You may feel that way, but that’s not what the canvass is for.”

When Cavanaugh then tried to bring up his concerns about the results, Goodman repeatedly attempted to shut him down. When Cavanaugh voted “aye under duress,” Goodman said, “It’s still an aye.”

[...]

The Republican-led boards in both counties ultimately voted unanimously to certify the results, but the disruptions may be a sign of what is to come in November.

GOP supervisors and candidates across the state have sought to challenge the results of the last two statewide general elections, and if Donald Trump and Kari Lake — two candidates who still refuse to acknowledge their past election losses — lose their 2024 races for president and U.S. Senate, respectively, there’s a good chance it will happen again. The question is how far their supporters will be willing, or able, to go to protest the results, and whether new strategies, such as a vote “under duress” will come into play.

The Republican resistance is alive and well in Arizona

What happened with the Arizona Grand Jury?

Harris campaign In Arizona

Trump recently declared his crowd sizes are bigger than Martin Luther King's, to which someone posted "I have a dream that one day you'll be judged by the size of your crowds and not by the color of your skin."

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 09:08 am:

They're going to need more ketchup at Mar-A-Lago

He doesn't want all the pictures of his crowd size compared to hers.  THAT's why he's not out there.

Meanwhile in the Arizona fake electors case

Election cheating

Is somebody keeping score on how many election fraud/cheating stories that turn out to be true are Republican vs Democratic?  Because I see time and again it's GOP cheating.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Speaking of "only the rich"

Fine, but I think this is mostly for show.  You need an abortion?  Can you pay for you and your doctor to fly to California and rent space and equipment?  Don't forget to add extra money for the opportunity cost your doctor will face by being gone from his normal practice.

Also, can they go back to Arizona and not be arrested?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
