It’s weird and amazing at the same time. He’s completely oblivious to the fact that he was apart of what could be considered the most socialist thing about this country.

And how fucked up does one have to be to be against allowing others to benefit from the same government he’s leeched off of for his entire life?

Government for me but not for thee. Or just more of, fuck you, I got mine, mentality.

Enjoy your life pcgeek, I hope the government, and by extension the American people, take care of you and allow you to have a comfortable life. It’s just a shame you are against others being taken care of or policies and politicians that want what you got for all Americans.

I've had these exact thoughts replying to him.

Imagine being so fucked up you use election results to determine right and wrong, or making it to retirement without the ability to be honest with yourself, or anyone else.

Years of right wing agitprop have taken their toll, on a pliant audience. It'd be funny if he wasn't so invested in screwing over not just others, but himself.

Look you may or may not agree. Military pay is low for what you are required to do. Transfer and move your entire family every few years. Going on long deployments away from family and friends, my longest was 7 months with an expecting wife back home. I didn't even see my son until he was a month old. Going to sea on submarines with no contact at all with anyone for 90 days at a time. Get called in to work and leave for a few weeks or longer without any notice given.

In return I received top quality training, pay, medical & dental care, housing or housing allowance, meals or meal allowance and after 20 years I receive 50% of my highest pay for the rest of my life. Medical coverage (Tricare / Tricare for life) for my wife and myself. Oh and lets not leave out the GI Benefits for school which I did not use as I already had an excellent career as an electronics tech lined up. I have since retired from that also and receive a company pension. Social Security & Medicare which I paid into for 50 years. No teat sucking going on at all. It was a contractual agreement between uncle Sam and myself. I do my part and then he does his.

Sorry that all the youngsters have hurt feelings. No pain no gain.

We may not agree politically but honestly, thank you for your service.
 
Kari Lake's Twitter is now a cesspool of hilariously bad fan fiction voter fraud stories.

Take this one from "Tiffany."

Not only does she provide no evidence to support her claims, she contradicts herself multiple times. Was her son too late to vote and turned away, or not???

Kari Lake spreads shit, you decide...

Is there talk of the AZ legislature considering voting to overturn the election results in favor of her? If they can get all the Repubs to vote that way. I brought this up earlier but since she's sounding more serious about it I thought I'd ask again.

The proposed AZ law to allow the legislature to overrule the voters at whim on any election ~ it was only proposed and debated by Republicans, but it failed to get the votes to get passed out of AZ legislature as I recall - so I don't think they can do this.
 
Bit of a messy article, gifted for you to read from Washington Post, but bottom line, Kari Lake's team actively tried to incite the mob against elections officials in Arizona, after threatening to do so if they didn't get their way

- Republican lawyer from Maricopa County got mad at MAGA lawyer for Kari ("Karen") Lake after hearing threat that team Kari would effectively sick the MAGA mob on him and his county co-workers (can't control what those crazies might do... i.e., be a shame if something happened to you)
- Even as Maricopa were diligently working to try to answer a billion inane questions from team Lake
- And shortly thereafter, surprise, surprise, team Lake leaks an edited cut of the 12 minute conversation - limited to just the part where Maricopa County lawyer got mad, leaked out to all the crazies including his personal information - falsely implying Maricopa county elections officials were out to get team Lake...
Leaked call shows clash between Kari Lake campaign and Maricopa County

Well, I guess it's back to Fox News 10 for Kari.
I guess all that cosmetic surgery didn't pay off after all.
But really, she's better off losing because after all it was only for governor. Not senator, not house member, just a F-ing governor.
And as the F-ing governor, Lake would be accountable to the people of AZ, not to Trump and not to the Q wacko's, but to and only to the people of AZ.
It wouldn't take long for arizonians to become fed-up with Kari Lake and her shenanigans. Citizens of a state want leadership, not a circus, and state citizens do expect governance from their governor.
No, I don't think Kari Lake had a clue about state governance, she only wanted to be a part of the political circus happening in Washington. AZ would not have tolerated that crap for very long.

So...sucked off the govt. tit for your whole life and will do so forever. Gotcha. Couldn't make it in the real world after all, eh? Too hard to compete?
 
First and foremost, I do not begrudge any benefits to those who have served. I actually think we do not do enough for those who have actually been through combat. Again, I do not begrudge any person who has served the US from receiving benefits, but lets not pretend that many benefits aren't socialist programs giving away free benefits at the expense of taxpayers.

So why not extend this to trying to better the next generation? These are our children. You can't even make the argument they're the children of some heathen third world degenerate nation.

The better the next generation does, the more they will be able to contribute when it is time for them to take care of us. Social Security and Medicare are programs that cost more than what the average person puts in on their lifetime. Social Security is running at a deficit and is being propped up by current taxpayers. If the next generation is more prosperous and pays more taxes, this will keep Social Security going.

And regarding Medicare, if the damn GOP allows Medicare to do things like negotiate drug prices, it wouldn't be the huge financial drain it is now. It's insane how much more we pay for drugs and healthcare than other first world countries.

Lake literally told all the "McCain Republicans" and "RINOs" not to vote for her.. and is now shocked to find she lost the election because they didn't.

MAGA extremism is Trump's gift to the Dems that just keeps on giving.

Street Walkers are better than him.

They offer a service, go above and beyond for repeat customers and don't leech off the system.

It is hard to believe that you are so dumb that you don't know the difference between leeching off the Government and working for the Government.

It is quite a stretch to say a Earned Government Pension is the same as a Government Handout to pay off a college loan that you agreed to pay.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. One man’s democracy is another man’s tyranny. One man’s government leech is another man’s earned government pay. You see things one way while refusing to see things from others perspective.

No, what’s dumb is that you don’t understand programs that supported you and gave you a nice life and benefited our country can come in many different forms other than military service.

Again, I wish you a nice life (that’s not sarcasm), I just wish you supported other policies that benefit other Americans and our country as a whole.

The best things Republicans are good at multitasking is being shitty to extremely fucking shitty at almost anything they say or do. Whether it's one thing or 10 things at a time, usually it's way more than one.
