  1. Frist of all, we know Jeffrey B.S. Clark is scrrewwed! Acting Attorney General - is that like pretending to be Attorney General? Hard to find a bigger embarrassment than Matt Whittaker, who also was unfit for the job, and no doubt was Jeffy’s inspiration.

    Glad to see Kelli Ward making the team as consequences begin to find their way even into Mohave County.

  3. I hope all those planning parties were worth it. Those folks aren’t going to be popping many ring-tops from their Bud Lites for the next little stretch of time. Couldn’t happen to a better bunch.

  4. Don’t call them alternate electors, they were fraudulent.

  5. This may explain why sleazy scumbag Alito is all agitated today. Ginni is going to rat on him and his J6 crimes so that her Tommy can enjoy many more pubes-n-coke.
