Rep. Ruben Gallego was interviewed by MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Monday night. He indicated he is forming an exploratory committee to advise him on a senate run in 2024, but it sure sounds as if he is spoiling for a fight with the prima donna diva, “Pharma Girl” Sinema.
Looking forward to it.
By the way, QAnon election denier “Krazy Kari” Lake claims she has been approached by the MAGA/QAnon cult to run for Sinema’s senate seat, but she has asked fellow QAnon election denier Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, a bullshit “sovereign citizen” extremist Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (not an official member) Does Your Sheriff Think He’s More Powerful Than the President?, and co-founder of “Protect America Now; he also founded a charity, the American Sheriff Foundation.” He Calls Himself the ‘American Sheriff.’ Whose Law Is He Following? (October 2021) (excerpt):
Lamb is a frequent talking head on Fox News and Newsmax, where he derides President Joe Biden’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’ handling of immigration, and he has spoken at political events like a Turning Point Action summit a few months ago in Phoenix, where he quoted Shakespeare and Thomas Paine (“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered”) and promised, “The sheriffs are going to hold the line.”
Lamb sees it as his mission to educate the American public about the role of the sheriff, which he described to me as to protect people from “the bad guys, and I always say the sheriff is also there to protect the people from government overreach.” As much as he glorifies law enforcement, though, Lamb is selective about which laws he chooses to enforce. He takes a hardline approach on immigration, for example, but when it comes to the government telling people to get vaccinated — or declaring the 2020 election legitimate — he fashions himself as more of a vigilante resister, with a heavy dose of anti-government, sometimes militant rhetoric.
Lamb supported the “stop the steal” campaign in Arizona and has expressed sympathy for the Jan. 6 rioters. He has called vaccine mandates “garbage” and spoke at a recent anti-vaccine rally in Phoenix, where he told supporters, “We’re going to find out what kind of patriots you are. We’re going to find out who is willing to die for freedom.”
Lamb, an ardent defender of the Second Amendment, has spoken in support of the formation of private militias — “well within the Constitution” [illegal in all 50 states], he told a group of supporters in March — and emphasized the power of sheriffs in Arizona, an open-carry state, to call local civilians into service to “suppress all affrays, insurrections and riots that comes to the attention of the sheriff.”

I’ll handicap the U.S. Marine over this MAGA/QAnon insurrectionist and “Pharma Girl” Sinema in this race.

This article is amusing. I’ve noticed that Sinema doesn’t seem to wear the same outfit/costume twice. This might explain why.

I Think I Found Kyrsten Sinema’s Side Hustle
Last week, she ditched the Democrats. Perhaps this is her real passion?

Either Sen. Sinema or Rep. Gallego must be persuaded to STAND DOWN.
If Sinema runs as an Independent, and Gallego runs as a Democrat — and they both are on the 2024 ballot — a Republican, no matter who, will win the election in a 3-way race.
It does appear that Sinema is setting up a 2024 run to keep her seat in the Senate.
She’s eliminated the primary challenge that she was sure to lose.
Her message to the AZ Democrats seems to be that she’s going to run in the general election and if they still want to run their own candidate the GOP will flip the seat. So don’t challenge her.
The AZ Democrats have nothing to lose by challenging Sinema. In a two way race with a Republican, any Republican, she would lose. In a three way race, she’s a spoiler. The Democrats have a chance of holding the seat if they have a strong candidate and Sinema is out.
But there she is on the TV, talking to Jake Tapper in the slow, sexy voice she used in her 2018 ads. She looks a bit slimmer lately and her clothes are more conservative. If she bleaches her hair back to that yellow blonde color we’ll know she means business.
