Ah, such a lovely news night last night was! Arizona did two good things in one day - unbelievable! They started the repeal of the Civil War-era abortion law, and the Attorney General indicted eighteen people for the false elector scam that the Trump campaign tried to run, including: Rudi Giuliani and Mark Meadows, Kelli Ward, the former chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, and her husband Michael Ward, two serving state lawmakers - Anthony Kern and Jake Hoffman.

The charges include conspiracy, fraud, and forgery. From the article: "The 11 people who had been nominated to be Arizona’s Republican electors met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were “duly elected and qualified” electors and claiming that Trump carried the state. A one-minute video of the signing ceremony was posted on social media by the Arizona Republican Party at the time. The document was later sent to Congress and the National Archives, where it was ignored."

The funny thing was that while Governor Ducey was signing the document finalizing the count, his phone rang with a Hail To The Chief ringtone - it was Trump. Ducey hit Ignore and finished his task.

An unnamed former American President has yet to be revealed. And it's rumored that a former aid to a former American President is singing like a bird to avoid being charged.

Florida, New York, Washington DC, Georgia, and now Arizona!

This Huffington Post article goes into details of other states that have prosecuted people for the same crime of invalid electors.

Rudy Giuliani became "America's Mayor" because the 9/11 attacks happened while he was in office. He is a former District Attorney, and because he's Italian-American he was part of the War Against Organized Crime in the 1950s. He's also a very opportunistic politician, as well as a sexual predator. He wasn't even very good at being Mayor. (I have lived near NYC most of my life, and I lived in the city for seven years after I got married. I worked for one of the major radio stations in the city, and Mayor Lindsay was pretty good. And more recently, Mayor Bloomberg - he used his own personal money to shore up the City's budget.

And Trump actually believed he could steal the election and then claim he was just stealing it back from the nasty Democrats (liberal Democrat Commies) who stole it from him.

I don't know how we're going to keep that narcissistic lecher with the cheap orange toupee from getting back to the power he craves. I just keep invoking three American goddesses - Lady Liberty, Lady Columbia (spirit of America), and Lady Justice, please guide and guard our nation through and past these perilous times.

Good. I'm glad to see that misrepresenting yourself as the duly selected electors of the state is still something that gets charged and prosecuted. If for no other reason than the state is embarrassed to have had these jokers go all the way with their plot instead of seeing sense and giving up before they committed election fraud.
