Maybe it's time for Rs in blue and purple states to stop kissing Cheeto's butt

Not gonna hold my breath waiting for that to happen, though.

But it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who thinks so...


While this headline reads "Nevadans", it could easily be about "Arizonans", or even just "people" in general.

Many of the Rs running for office in AZ in 2022 are solidly pro-Trump and pro-fraudit; their open contempt for democracy that doesn't go their preferred way utterly disqualifies them for any position of public trust.

Nevadans have no reason to trust candidates who humor the Big Lie

In this May 6, 2021, file photo, Maricopa County ballots cast in the 2020 general election are examined and recounted by contractors working for Florida-based company, Cyber Ninjas at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix.


Late last week, the nation learned the outcome of the circus-like Republican-led election “audit” in Arizona, and boy was it a shocker.

Not.

A draft version of the report, produced by partisans who were unqualified to conduct an actual audit, showed that Joe Biden won the vote in Arizona, as had been verified and certified already. The only surprise in the report — one that undoubtedly sent former President Donald Trump into an orange-faced tantrum — was that Biden won by a few hundred votes more in Maricopa County than had been originally reported.
