YOU LOST, LAKE: Kari loses in court and could now face sanctions
I was raised Jewish and now identify as a full-on atheist, but the joyous Christmas Eve news that opportunistic Arizona fascist Kari Lake has lost her court challenge to overturn her election loss makes me want to make like Tiny Tim and yell out GOD BLESS US EVERYONE at the top of my lungs.
Not only that, KKKari could face sanctions motions, which could result in anything from a fine to full-on imprisonment.
I usually have Chinese food for Christmas, but this year I might have to put that off while digesting all of this delicious fresh-baked Christmas schadenfreude.
(BTW I just noticed that you can’t spell Arizona without “nazi” and I don’t think it’s a coincidence thanks to KKKari, Paul Gosar, MarKKK Finchem, etc. Arizona is just Florida with no coastlines)
ANYWAY…Kari Lake can now remount her Dyson and fly back to Mar-a-Lago immediately to knock anyone else out of the way to be Trump’s VP thanks to her epic loss in court.
How shocking that KKKari couldn’t provide the promised “bombshell evidence” of voter fraud, not even after her “star witness testimony” from Mike Lindell, aka the Clarence Darrow of MAGA, who showed up to smother more truth with his MyPillow “data” regarding widespread election fraud.
The fact that the judge had thrown out all but two of the counts Lake’s losing lawyers couldn’t prove should’ve been a glaring sign for Lake to drop it all, but since she was right in the middle of her audition to be Trump’s running mate, she had to keep it going.
It’s not really a good idea to claim you can prove “beyond a shadow of a doubt” that there was election fraud when you can’t, because it might literally cost you.
Those potential sanctions motions come with consequences, plus some extra shade from Judge Peter Thompson, who wrote, “The court “DOES NOT find clear and convincing evidence of misconduct” while “confirming the election of Katie Hobbs as Arizona Governor-Elect.”
Both Liberal and Legal Twitter were eating up the tasty Maricopa County Christmas Eve all-you-can-eat buffet.
Here’s to Lake and the other Trumpers finding out more in 2023.
HALLELUJAH!

A judge not only just rejected Kari Lake’s attempt to overturn the results of her election — he invited sanctions motions as well.

Just in: Kari Lake loses in court in AZ.
Congratulations to many, but, if I may, especially to @SarahLongwell25, who, in the face of much defeatism about Katie Hobbs, poured resources into AZ in the final two weeks, which may well have made the difference in a very close race. pic.twitter.com/scG6g1wXFP

I'm not saying that George Santos and Kari Lake are the same person but it would explain EVERYTHING pic.twitter.com/Y9KfLQy1O6
