I found it in my files and thought it was funny.  Sorry for upsetting the rosebuds around here; and any women, too. 

@catfish1957

You aren't upsetting anyone @Right_in_Virginia you are just doing what we came to expect from you LONG ago.  Carry on!

Kari Lake Still Has Path to Victory; Sen. Kelly Celebrates Senate Race Win
By Cameron Arcand | 3:30 PM on November 12, 2022

All eyes continue to be on Arizona, as the results of hundreds of thousands of ballots in Maricopa County have yet to be posted.

In Friday’s batch of nearly 80,000 ballots, they broke slightly in favor of Democrats, which was enough for Decision Desk HQ to determine that Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly will win re-election. There are roughly 370,000 ballots outstanding statewide, which could still be a game-changing number in some races.

These votes were presumably mixed between “late early” ballots dropped off on Election Day and some “Box 3” ballots. Many of the votes came from south Phoenix, as ABC15 Arizona’s Garrett Archer tweeted to explain the batch’s swing toward Democrats.

Maricopa County is expected to drop another roughly 80,000 ballots from the same combination of ballot types on Saturday, according to Yvonne Wingett Sanchez at The Washington Post.

https://twitter.com/yvonnewingett/status/1591492060695375872

However, Archer noted that Saturday night’s drop will likely have a heavy Republican slant based on the areas the ballots are expected to come from. He tweeted that many of the ballots left in Maricopa County are coming from more conservative suburbs. This is good news for Lake and other down-ballot candidates.

@catfish1957

You're a riot right now @Right_in_Virginia  Definitely not upsetting me at all.  I am absolutely elated that Ron is my governor.

I know it is difficult to watch a really good president self-destruct.  It upsets me as well, but I'll be darn if I sit and make up excuses for him or try to make a really good conservative governor look bad. Maybe take a break and go for a walk.  A change of scenery might do you some good.

Peace.

No apology needed, but realize that as far as boot color, I have seen plenty of big plant guys who I wouldn't mess with prefer that color, and wore them.  More often than not, they don't care what color, and just take what the warehouse gives them.

Now if someome had donned a rainbow variety, I'd grant a double take, but this is a non-laugher.

Plus a question, I don't know how old you are, but you didn't wear any white leather shoes in 1970's?

I will be overjoyed when Kari takes AZ over the victory line.

That's a beyond belief incredible ass kicking considering this is supposed to be a purple state.

Trump is panicking

Here is Trump's Florida numbers from two years ago.

Donald Trump*
GOP
5,668,731   
51.2%

Joe Biden
DEM
5,297,045   


Notice how one poster here is trying to hold DeSantis to a standard that Trump never came close to meeting.  It's the same non-rational tactic that Democrats use.

Trump wins by 3.2 points.  DeSantis wins by 19.4 points.  Yet DeSantis is the slacker because he didn't win by 50.  I'm about to go off on these couillons.

You're the one that was upset by the color of his boots and thought you could ding him for it. The rest of us are laughing at you for trying.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Wow. Just how low are you going to go @Right_in_Virginia

Just until until I reach where you are @libertybele    Promise.

 

[Hoodat]

LOL! YUP! Mine are mostly camo... but I have an old white pair and an old black pair. 

It's easier to see the dirt on the white ones when it comes time to hosing them off.

[roamer_1]

Mine were insulated and for hunting... I also own snow camo and whites to go over my arctic gear... Go figger.

But the insulation started separating, so I tore it out and they became common muck boots... My chicken boots. 

[roamer_1]

God knows the chickens never told me I wasn't being stylish.

Then you better start climbing the highest mountain; as I stated I am absolutely elated that Ron is my governor; a very conservative and popular governor.

Go for that walk @Right_in_Virginia this is becoming quite childish on your part.  Trump has resorted back to his schoolyard bullying days. It isn't pretty and yes, I am disappointed in him too. I thought he had elevated himself above all of his childish fits, but unfortunately it is obvious that he hasn't.

Alright, @DB  Calm down... It's all over. Threre's nothing odd about a man wearing shiny white wedge-heeled boots.  Nothing at all.  I throw myself on the mercy of the righteous for being such a bully  - Now scrape yourself off the fainting couch and go have some fun this Saturday night!!

Don't be getting so cocky @debrawiest   I'm just kiling time ------ reservations aren't until 8:00 tonight.  But, the food is so damn good you (almost) don't mind the wait.  I hope you have a great evening ahead of you, too!

You aren't upsetting anyone @Right_in_Virginia you are just doing what we came to expect from you LONG ago.  Carry on!

Quiet night at home. We got 15+ inches of snow on Thursday, so there’s still some shoveling out to do. You enjoy your night!

And all my shovels have motors

Wow! 15" is more than we get in a season.  Stay warm - and safe.

I love snow. Very jealous.

Maricopa County Door #3 Ballots: Where Did They Go?

Wendi Strauch Mahoney  -  November 12, 2022

Maricopa County Election Judge Karla Sweet says she was asked to put 93 “Door #3” ballots in the black duffle bag with all of the other voted ballots at the end of the day on Election Day per the instruction of county Election Inspector Mark McCall. Sweet sent a letter to UncoverDC on November 11. The letter documents her observations and some of her thoughts throughout the day. Sweet worked at the Grace in the Desert Adventist Church poll location in Peoria, Arizona, in Maricopa County.

Notably, UncoverDC spoke with another Election Judge, Michele Swinick, who worked at another voting center. Swinick says every poll location was instructed by “the supervisor at Election HQ to place Door #3 ballots in the black duffle bags.” However, the request for where to put the Door #3 ballots in Swinick’s case was slightly different. Swinick reports she and others were instructed to put her Door #3 ballots in a separate black duffle bag. She personally marked a label on the duffle bag zipper with the words “Misread Ballots.” Both Sweet and Swinick expressed earnest concerns the Door #3 ballots might not ever be seen.

Vote totals from AZ:

Kari Lake - 1,070,509
Blake Masters - 1,006,490

So, 64,019 people voted for the "far right, extreme and controversial" candidate Kari Lake, then turned around and voted for far-left open borders Mark Kelly?

Blake Masters is refusing to concede Senate race to Mark Kelly. He's right. Unfortunately we now need a full forensic audit because of all the questions and machine shutdowns.

DEMOCRATS DIDN'T DESIGN THE LAWS IN ARIZONA. PEOPLE LIKE
@MeghanMcCain'S DADDY AND HIS FRIENDS DID.

It really isn't the product of DEMs, folks. They're just smarter than the GOPe.
------------------------------------------------

What is the difference in McCain and 'DEMs'? McCain was a much a Democrat as Pelosi and Schumer. He just used the 'Republican' title as a ruse.

McCain was very harmful to the GOP but I believe McConnell has caused even more damage.

This is horrible!!! The race was so close that I believe it automatically goes to a recount.  I hope Laxalt prevails, though doubtful.

[libertybele]

[mystery-ak]

He was ahead the whole race....and they stole it...
