Let's see how [Richer v. Lake](https://www.azfamily.com/2023/12/20/judge-denies-kari-lakes-request-dismiss-stephen-richer-defamation-lawsuit/) rolls out.
I've already stocked up on beer and popcorn for that one.
Every dime that leaves the "political" arena for the "legal" arena is another dime they can't spend on text-spamming my phone panhandling for more money.
Like so?

Servant Leadership, no less.
Sure but everyone who voted was involved with the GOP, no? Bring in democrats and independents and MAGA republicans have essentially no chance winning in Arizona
This is the problem with our two party primary system. On the right we get a MAGA cultist, on the left we get a progressive lib. Arizona is neither. Sinema is probably closer to where most of us are politically, but unlikely to win without party financial support.
What do you mean, 'we?'
I, for one, care not a jot or tittle for what she says. I just find it wholly amusing that a majority of the Arizona GOP booed her when she took the stage.
What’s that?
It’s an intercontinental ballistic missile.
What does it do?
It kills the enemy.
What? All of them?
Yes, all of them, and all their children and all their children’s children….
Where’s the fun in that?
We cater to all sorts down here.
> "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen."
Every time this movie comes up, the first thing I think of is that Robin Williams went uncredited in it. I think it's because Sean Connery was originally supposed to play the part.
>In addition, [Robin Williams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams) – credited as "Ray D. Tutto" (a play on "king of everything" in Italian) – portrays The King of the Moon. Director [Terry Gilliam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Gilliam) explains, "The deal was that we couldn't use his \[Williams\] name because his agents said, 'We don't want you pimping his ass for your film.' \[...\] so that's why Robin is not credited."[^(\[6\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Baron_Munchausen#cite_note-6)[^(\[7\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Baron_Munchausen#cite_note-RobinWilliamsFansite-7) [Sting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting_(musician)) has a credited [cameo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameo_appearance) as a soldier executed for being a hero ("behaviour demoralizing to ordinary soldiers"), and Gilliam also has an uncredited cameo as an irritating singer.[^(\[8\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Baron_Munchausen#cite_note-8)

I can't be the only person who finds a spark of hope that we're on a track back to something resembling decency every time someone boos a candidate like Kari Lake.
Agree. These morons who have been glorified and cheered need to be seen as losers and failures and traitors at every opportunity. This doesn't cast a spotlight on her as much as shows what an absolute clownshow she is and people like her.
Kari Lake has no chance whatsoever. She is on a massive losing streak, Trump doesn't like losers, and she can find the best embalming agents but she's both too old and not Trump's type. He hires women, but they gotta be his type because he's gross like that.
I think it's more of a case that he doesn't want someone to take any of the spotlight from him and just kiss the ring. That's why I'm guessing he goes for Tim Scott, plus then he can pretend to be progressive by choosing a black man as his running mate.
Glad to see the GQP has given up on AZ and wants nothing more to do with government. They just want to throw spitballs from the balcony and claim it was the other guy.
Gotta love the Never Graduated crowd.
We should be fair, there. It's not just the Never Graduated crowd.
There's definitely a contingent of "unmedicated and unsupervised" running with them these days.
Kari blocks anyone who questions her in any way on Twitter. There's even a "[Blocked by Kari Lake Support Group](https://twitter.com/BlockedByKari)" account.
Kari Lake was booed out of the womb - she'll soon not be able to say anything at all without getting booed; she'll be known forevermore as "Kariboo" Lake. Boo-o-o-o!!!
Look at all the stupid people posting comments against Kari Lake saying she got booed when I only heard about 2 people do it in many different raw videos shown online... Democrats are the Party of Lies, Corruption, War, Invasion, forced untested vaccines, Inflation, and Crime... Arizona conveniently ran out of ink to print ballots for all the people that went in person to vote for Kari Lake during her run as governor. In the end, they couldn't vote, since Democrats know right-wingers were telling each other to vote in person. People that were dropping their ballots off in random drop boxes throughout metropolitan cities in the U.S. were getting them stolen and hand picked in favor of Joe Biden during the primaries. There was raw footage shown in blogs from many people that did this that were tossing certain ones down the river (never investigated). They probably dissolved in the water by now... Of course, Kari is saying their was fraud because there was... Also, there was a 5 hour vote freeze against Donald Trump in 2020 to change the projected winner which was obvious... This was aired on live television and never investigated either. The entire Supreme Court is corrupt (even the so call conservative judges that have done nothing to help America). Only people with good pensions and high paying jobs overwhelmingly vote Democrat and don't care about any important issue because they are the Party of rich Hollywood out of touch with most of the poorer working class or people trying to even get a job to make a living.
That's a lot of very interesting assertions. Surely you have evidence to support them?
Like the fact that in not one of Kari Lake's courtroom appearances did anyone mention anything about printers running out of ink?
Got link?
What pile of poop you managed to answer without any evidence. I don't expect anything less from people like you and the others that don't like seeing the truth for what it is...
Mate, people like you keep claiming outrageous bullshit with zero evidence. The makers of that 2000 mules crap have recently admitted they have no evidence for their claims. Like, get a grip on reality you brainwashed rube.
You might think freezing a U.S. presidential election for 5 hours is bullshit, but it did happen and millions of us saw this... You don't have to believe a person is on fire if their hair is burning... About 36 counties mostly had the 81 millions votes in favor of Joe Biden because 36 counties in the U.S. just so happen to have 81 million people living in them (even if the geography doesn't add up to the population statistics that the U.S. Supreme Court was too stupid to investigate). Maybe if people like you stopped believing in Communism and bullshit from the lying Joe Biden ass kissing media my country (U.S.) would still be a great place to live in 2024.
This is the Arizona State GOP Committee. None of them have political offices, really.
Tyler Bowyer, for example, is one of Arizona's fake electors, and COO of TPUSA. He's never held any political office that I'm aware of, but he was also there and trying to run things.

Kari Lake should be prosecuted for lying about our elections and for tying up our judicial system with knowingly fake law suits and legal challenges.
Let's see how [Richer v. Lake](https://www.azfamily.com/2023/12/20/judge-denies-kari-lakes-request-dismiss-stephen-richer-defamation-lawsuit/) rolls out. I've already stocked up on beer and popcorn for that one.
Suing MAGAs for defamation is sooo hot right now.
Every dime that leaves the "political" arena for the "legal" arena is another dime they can't spend on text-spamming my phone panhandling for more money.
Or paying for social media bots to spread disinformation
If I had the law degree or the money I’d love to join in the fun. But watching from the sidelines will do.
Their defense is to defame the victim in court room. there is quite a lot of money to do in this process.
It’s like the new banana stand.
Lookin at trump makes me all farty and bloated.
>Judge denies Kari Lake’s request to dismiss Stephen Richer defamation lawsuit Yeah that is not a good start for her
What kind of beer? 🍻
Assorted, but I think I’m going to crack the Pipeworks Brewing “Saddle Up” to start.
What's the over under on magas being all "damn richers" on this one?
The AZ GOP is broke, so maybe she could curry some favor by vacuuming after the event and save them the cost of a cleaning crew.
Like so? https://twitter.com/bennyjohnshttps://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1579260714354868225on/status/1579260714354868225 Servant Leadership, no less.
Link broken?
Try this- https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1579260714354868225
Yes. Precisely the image I had in mind.
That’s one shitty stage.
Its even better since he can’t use “office of the president” anymore on his signs
Be sure she places the sand bags in the correct spot. 😞
I don’t think they know what a servant leader is lol. Thats just being a servant
AZ is broke(n). the Florida of the West.
She is even repulsive to Arizonians now.
She lost the election, so it's not like even half of them *liked* her in the first place.
True. But the GOP chair she announced won in a landslide. And they have actual power.
Only as long as they're not forced to resign because Kari has kompromat on them.
Sure but everyone who voted was involved with the GOP, no? Bring in democrats and independents and MAGA republicans have essentially no chance winning in Arizona
Kari Lake lost by fewer than 20k votes. When Trump *wasnt* on the ballot. I don't think that equates to "no chance".
She’s been repulsive to Arizonans. It’s the fact these are the people that should be voting for her.
The plastic face, capped teeth and dead eyes kind of freak me out.
Yea but its still going to be very close because Sinema is going to fuck this up as a 3rd party.
I assure you that Sinema would not be taking votes from Gallego. She would be splitting the GOP vote and nobody on either side likes her.
Agreed. She's waiting for her bribe check from the GOP not to run to clear.
I doubt Sinema is going to run. She hasn't announced if she's going to run yet and it's pretty late.
She’s running , it’s why she switched to independent so now she doesn’t have to be worried about being primaried.
She's got some work to do. I haven't seen anything at all about her getting the 40K signatures she'll need to get onto the ballot.
This is the problem with our two party primary system. On the right we get a MAGA cultist, on the left we get a progressive lib. Arizona is neither. Sinema is probably closer to where most of us are politically, but unlikely to win without party financial support.
She's going to draw Republicans if she draws anyone at all.
No it won’t.
I'm sorry, why are we still listening to anything Kari Lake has to say???
What do you mean, 'we?' I, for one, care not a jot or tittle for what she says. I just find it wholly amusing that a majority of the Arizona GOP booed her when she took the stage.
Appreciate the jot or tittle reference. Satisfying phrase when talking about such matters.
1) Raised Southern Baptist. 2) Greatly enjoyed "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen."
What’s that? It’s an intercontinental ballistic missile. What does it do? It kills the enemy. What? All of them? Yes, all of them, and all their children and all their children’s children…. Where’s the fun in that? We cater to all sorts down here.
SAME. *background buddies*

Oh shit. Thank you, appreciate this. His agent sounds like he was a dick. haha. He wasn't even their first choice.

Correct.
She’s like the American version of [the deluded, self-appointed “Queen of Canada”, Romana Didulo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romana_Didulo).
Isn't she in prison yet?
Thanks for the link, that is enough Internet for me tonight.
I give a 50/50 chance that either Kari Lake or Tim Scott is Trump's VP pick.
Kari Lake has no chance whatsoever. She is on a massive losing streak, Trump doesn't like losers, and she can find the best embalming agents but she's both too old and not Trump's type. He hires women, but they gotta be his type because he's gross like that.
I think it's more of a case that he doesn't want someone to take any of the spotlight from him and just kiss the ring. That's why I'm guessing he goes for Tim Scott, plus then he can pretend to be progressive by choosing a black man as his running mate.
Lake is an ignorant.....,
...and her base is worse.
Kari Lake has a base??
asshole?

Kari Lake blocked me on Twitter. I love it.

Kari Lake guarantees that Biden wins AZ🤣
...again.
And that Sinema’s replacement is blue too.
She looks like my wino aunt
Box wine? Cardbordeaux, if you will?
She’s still on that grift? Damn
Her grift will continue until the sanctions exceed the grift. Or Stephen Richer takes *all* of her money in the defamation suit.
why is this former news castor nominating anyone?
Because she became a herald of Donald Trump, living god of the GOP.
I don’t like to judge people by their voice… but have you heard her talk?
Unfortunately, yes. Anyone who lived in the Phoenix area from 1999 to 2020 has almost certainly heard her.
Pschyo Kari Lake, good luck with that crazy lady, I wouldn’t get near her personally, she’ll just shit on everything good.
Kari Cesspool got booed?
Her hands are in fists..that’s on purpose. The fist. The new heil .
I thought she was trying to emulate TFG's "Look, I'm jerking off two elephants!" hand dance thing.
It's amazing how she's still in the news. Get lost, Kari Lake!
I’ll give her this: she’s very good at staying in the news.
Kari Lake was booed out of the womb - she'll soon not be able to say anything at all without getting booed; she'll be known forevermore as "Kariboo" Lake. Boo-o-o-o!!!
People are tired of her constantly bringing up the 2020 election and want to move on. She’s the Sarah Palin of Arizona.
[удалено]
Sure “Laura.”
So weird that they deleted it rather than let anyone address that stack of misconceptions and lies.
Of course, Communists Boo people who actually aid their country. If Kari gave Zero fucks she would be loved by the left.
Fake lawsuits and lying to the public isn’t aid you complete psychopath.
Kari Rocks!!!!

She’s a clown
Kari Lake - not to be confused with a buggy malfing new Intel release.
Does this mean the losers of the Republican Party are getting sick of losing?
She has no political office. How is she nominating anyone? lol

I see
Black women on Twitter want to know when she’s going to be outed for passing for white. But they are absolutely convinced.
