How much money has been wasted on this bullshit?

I have $25. Can I be governor?

[–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You can be as least as much governor as she can.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you can be my governor, baby.

[–] HWK_290@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Governor, I hardly know her

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

For $25 you can also claim you won the election, sure.

But if Trump is referred to as President Trump in legal filings, can't Lake be referred to as Governor?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

In informal settings, most former presidents are referred to as 'President [whatever]'. It's only in formal gatherings where it's considered appropriate. Most view it as a courtesy. Though, it should be noted, all of one ex-president takes offense to being called "Former President"; and he's the same dumbass that most everyone outside of his circles no longer allow that courtesy.

She probably makes more money by fundraising off this shit.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Better she spins her wheels on this nonsense than whatever other bullshit she’d be working on otherwise, at least

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I'm thinking more about the other side than her.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago

I love this for her

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She is barely sentient and I'm pretty sure a potted plant cant be governor.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'm not so sure about that (in the "Air Bud rule" sense). Better check that AZ constitution to make sure!

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is still going on? Lake, you are the second worst loser ever.

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Oh snap! She’s even losing at losing!

[–] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think she was a 90s daytime talk show host? We'll never really know.

[–] BumbleBear@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, no no... You're thinking of Ricki Lake.

And they followed up for the rest of us that aren't a million years old and wouldn't know who the fuck that is. I still don't really understand your joke about the 1900s. What even? Is the joke?

[–] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

First off: calm the fuck down a little.

Second: Fuck you for calling the 90's "the 1900s".

Third: it wasn't that funny, and I won't bother explaining it to you given that snarky attitude of yours.

ZAPHOD: Can I just ask you some questions?

ZARNIWOOP: By all means.

ZAPHOD: Okay. Well, for starters, I’ll have who, what, when, and where. And then whither, whether, whence, and wherefore to follow, and one big side order of why?

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

This cunt. I live in AZ so I've been dealing with her since she was on the local Fox station.

She's challenging this while also running for Senate. She has zero values.

[–] WaistGunnerPug@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

You are NOT the governor.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not the governor of Arizona either but I didn't need the court to tell me that.

[–] exanime 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There is a very interesting psychological phenomena involved as to why your situation and hers are different... Years of scientific study backs this

However, in the interest of time I'll summarize it: unlike her, you are not batshit crazy

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Maybe this is real news, but an Onion writer wrote that headline.

[–] DesertMagma@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Newsflash: AZ's loudest loser loses loudly.
