Kari Lake’s attempt to get her Arizona gubernatorial loss overturned went to trial Wednesday, as her lawyers pushed the two of 10 claims still standing in her lawsuit.
This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1442937
Fellow election denier Mark Finchem, the unsuccessful Republican candidate for Arizona secretary of state, saw his lawsuit to overturn his election loss dismissed completely late last week.
And Lake’s will be next. And I hope she is severely penalized.

It sure sounds like a major two ring circus.

Ms. Lake has crossed the chasm from her previous election denialism and landed squarely in the incurable area of reality denialism.

“The plaintiff’s exhibit-numbering system…left something to be desired,” Thompson said as the trial began.
Translation: Please learn how to count.
“We’re now burning time trying to find out who Mr. Smith is and where he is,” the judge said of the missing witness, exasperated, while Lake’s attorneys feverishly whispered, trying to figure out who to call instead.
Translation: Bueller. Bueller.
“Yes, I spoke at the event,” he responded, adding that Lindell paid for his travel there but that he did not charge for his time.
Translation: The cheap-ass pillow guy wouldn’t pay me. I’ve since invoiced the former president.
Lake’s suit is asking the court to declare her the new winner of the Arizona gubernatorial election — or, short of that, to call for a new election.
Translation: Please, oh please, oh please, pick me, pick me.

And how low will Kooky Kari’s pal go?
This low!
"They fought for the South and their sons signed up, went to war, and now they’re told that even having the flag or having any pride for their dead relatives is something that is wrong and dirty and backwards and racist and associated with slavery. People are so ignorant about slavery and the numbers on slavery. I mean, the idea that everyone had slaves in the south is so stupid. It was the incredibly uberwealthy. It’d be like people believing that everyone today had a yacht," she said.
“I mean, it’s just so – I’m just going to stop ranting about it,” added Owens. “The answer is people should be allowed to keep their Confederate flags and wave them because it represents an element of history.”

For multiple, prolonged interludes, Blehm couldn’t figure out which exhibit he was referring to, permeating the courtroom with irritable confusion.
I’ll bet that it was more like confused irritation.

Richer, who has become a special target of Lake’s ire, at times seemed amused by the questioning and corrected Blehm about granular election procedure.
Blehm: “Oh! I’m sorry. I thought that we were talking about glandular erection procedure. Oops! My bad.”
