  2. Republicans keep telling us who they are. Enemies.

  3. She did say she was going to lean moderate this election. I wouldn’t be surprised if she gave a speech in front of a swastika flag during her 2022 run.

  6. *Loser flag.

    She’s brayiing the bullshit of her loser people.

  8. when I happen to enter an establishment that displays that flag I turn around and leave. there is no excuse.

  10. “Lake appeared at the campaign event alongside Steve Slaton, the Trumped Store owner and Republican state legislative candidate who has attracted controversy over allegations that he inflated his military record. On his campaign website, Slaton claims to have served in Vietnam as a “crew chief/co-pilot on an AH-1G Cobra Attack Helicopter”. But military records obtained by the Mountain Daily Star indicate that Slaton was stationed only in Korea, primarily serving as a helicopter repairman, and did not even join the army until after the last US troops left Vietnam.

    Slaton’s campaign website also includes a photo of him standing in front of a Confederate battle flag at the Trumped Store. A photo, posted to X by the Arizona state senator Wendy Rodgers, shows Lake and Slaton posing together at the campaign event last week.”

    Hahahahaha Kari Lake and “Stolen Valor” Slaton. Can’t make this shit up.

  11. Traitors posing with the traitor flag. Unsurprising. I hope Kari Lake gets obliterated by Gallego. Arizona has been surprisingly quite good in voting for non-fascists the last few elections, hopefully it stays on course. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t hate Kari Lake’s guts here.

  13. I remember Dr. Oz giving a speech in front of Hitler’s car during a fundraiser for his 2022 Senate campaign.

  14. I respect her honesty, flying the national flag of a loser as she loses her race makes sense.

    (Yes I know it’s a battle flag not the flag of the confederacy until it gained popularity 90 years after the fact) still in modern times it represents those losers and it’s why Lake flys it….she knows.

  15. Why be shy about it. Some of us knew it in 2016

  18. “Aggrieved loser speaks in front of participation trophy.” I like my headline better.

  19. I hate to tell everybody, but I just found out that the Confederacy actually won the Civil War. Therefore, all the states that were in Rebellion against the Union are now going to form the confederated states of Russia, excuse me I mean the US. All the northern states and west coast states and some of the other states will remain in the US and we’ll have to do rock paper and scissors for some of the others. The confederated states of Russia excuse me the US, will have Sharia law which will include burqas, death to anybody who thinks about abortion or contraception, and women will now have to stay home unless they are with a male escort. Women can no longer drive and whatever else they deem appropriate. All their citizens will be required to carry a bazooka or fully automatic weapons at all times. You can not only stand your ground you can shoot anybody you want at any time in your state if you think that they might be thinking about wanting to do you harm.

  20. This is genuinely insane when you think about it. Even for the Republican party at the beginning of Trump, it would be career-ending for any Representative/Senator to be like this. Shows how much this country has slid.

  21. I mean…..she was absolutely batshit crazy well before she posed in front of any Confederate flags. As an Arizonan I look forward to voting against her dumb ass once again.

  22. Duh. Losing everyday. Get you glock didn’t enough voters. So Stars and Bars to the rescue.

  23. I would love if a Trump supporter could explain to me how this is ok without saying the word “Biden.”

  24. If only the Arizona infantry would have made it to the front, maybe the south would have won the war.🤡

  25. Well, put that town in the “never visit” column for me.

  27. Yes, Arizona, which entered the union in 1912 is a very famous part of the confederacy.
