QAnon Has an Alarming New Plan to Steal Arizona for Trump


It involves replacing all the state’s elected officials.

By David Gilbert

A group of Arizona citizens, including one Republican Congressional candidate, is asking the state’s Supreme Court to invalidate all election results since 2018 and remove all elected officials from their offices immediately. And who should replace the ousted election officials? Well, the citizens who filed the lawsuit, of course.

The legal petition claims all officials elected in Arizona since 2018 are “inadvertent usurpers” because the elections they won were conducted by vote-counting equipment that was not properly certified.

The plaintiffs claim the evidence to back up this staggering claim will be provided in the lawsuit’s appendix, which unfortunately they had not submitted at the time of writing.

The plaintiffs claim that the court has the authority to void the terms of the named officials—which include Gov. Doug Ducey and Secretary of State Katie Hobbs—and install themselves as appropriate replacements.

No, it won't result in nullifying anything. No, it won't succeed in the courts.

But what it will do is ramp up anger, resentment, and hatred towards government.

This is how real shooting revolutions begin. First, you inflame gullible people to white hot and then you set them loose on your enemies.

It works a surprising number of times.

Especially those of this size and magnitude, take time to formulate. I'm thinking there are several grand juries and a big fat RICO case or two will be made public by 7/4.

“It makes us look like idiots,” State Senator Paul Boyer, a Republican from suburban Phoenix who supported the audit, told the New York Times.

“Looking back, I didn’t think it would be this ridiculous. It’s embarrassing to be a state senator at this point.”



Your are Damn Right it makes you look like idiots Senator. You own them now live with it. You sucked up to the loser, so own it.

Fixed. Somehow, he left that qualifier out of his statement.

followed by a look in the mirror. If you see clown cars and hucksters ... There's a reason for that.


You guys got to stop using 'ownin' the libs' (Maricopa county) -- as a substitute for a real political platform. That's a start.
