Arizona Senate Republicans’ conspiracy-theory-infused “audit” of 2020’s election results in Maricopa County will soon be interrupted by the sounds of Arizona teenagers celebrating the end of their high school years.
I think a kindergarten graduation would be more appropriate, considering the current occupants, but you can’t always get what you want.
Hows about ending this farcical adulation of the Rump and graduate to adult hood.
“The current course is mind-numbingly reckless and irresponsible,” Penzone added.
I have nothing to add to the Sheriff’s comment.
The audit team has long hyped efforts to speed up the count, but so far that work hasn’t borne much fruit. And from the start, elections experts noted that the schedule for completing the massive hand recount was basically impossible.
These odditors seem to be very, very bad at math.
O/T but I thought Fox was trash
Newsmax’s Greg Kelly opened his Friday show by claiming Black Lives Natter is a scam being perpetrated by Michelle Obama, who he called “a vindictive liar.”
And also stupid
Any graduation ceremony certainly serves a more positive social purpose, if just by virtue of its enjoyability.
It’s a good thing Paul Penzone is the Maricopa County Sheriff instead of the disgraced desert Bull Connor Arpaio.
Maybe some of those enterprising high school graduates can just stay at the coliseum for awhile and talk some sense into and explain democracy to those conspiracy mongers.
Well, hell. Just require all the students to count a few thousand ballots before they can collect their diploma. It’s not like that would corrupt the ballot count any more than Cyber Nonsense has already.
Also dignity
How can you expect a person who is wrapped up in conspiracy theories to examine ballots rapidly?
I mean looking for water marks, bamboo, foreign bacteria, etc takes time.
Is it really safe to bring these students into a fever swamp?
High school graduation ceremony seems like a good opportunity for a voter registration table.
I’ve seen Ponzi schemes that are less sketchy than this bullshit.
They’re going to need math to work out how to pack the clown car for the trip to Georgia for the next bogus audit. Here, this should help, a Car & Driver article about how to pack a clown car. Relevant paragraphs:
An American Standard Clown (ASC) stands five feet eight inches tall and weighs 158 pounds, according to the DOT’s Office of Circuses, Zoos, and Carnivals—and possibly Wikipedia. Wait a second . . . okay, now it’s on Wikipedia. Each clown occupies about three cubic feet, assuming a 15-inch width and five-inch thickness.
The SAE passenger volume of a 2011 Ford Focus sedan is 93.4 cubic feet, and the trunk accommodates 13.8 cubic feet. Of course, that rises with the removal of the seats and the interior panels, so let’s call it 120 cubic feet of Total Clown Space (TCS). Theoretically, about 40 clowns should fit into a Focus.
Is there a world record for number of paper airplanes flown simultaneously in one building?
For a while there I thought maybe Arizona was coming around. But nope.
When you go looking for imaginary stuff it’s an infinitely deep black hole. And no, nothing comes out of it.
Yes the AZ ‘recount’ is clownishly ridiculous but the conspiracy theory underlying it is part and parcel of the fascist mythology necessary to bind believers in the overthrow of reason and democracy; the buffoonery masks evil intent.
ETA: Voltaire was not merely delivering a quip or artful phrase when he wrote, “[T]hose who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities,” he was making an observation; he’d seen it in action. The only quibble might be that “making” anyone believe isn’t always necessary, sometimes the invitation alone gets the willing believer through the door with violence and atrocity on their right down the hall.
from the start, elections experts noted that the schedule for completing the massive hand recount was basically impossible
This “recount” is the most irresponsible waste of taxpayer’s money I’ve seen in a long time. Republicans should be thrown out of the legislature en masse.
And the Republican Party should pay back the taxpayers for this waste.
