At least $20
I have $25. Can I be governor?
You can be as least as much governor as she can.
you can be my governor, baby.
Governor, I hardly know her
For $25 you can also claim you won the election, sure.
But if Trump is referred to as President Trump in legal filings, can't Lake be referred to as Governor?
In informal settings, most former presidents are referred to as 'President [whatever]'. It's only in formal gatherings where it's considered appropriate. Most view it as a courtesy. Though, it should be noted, all of one ex-president takes offense to being called "Former President"; and he's the same dumbass that most everyone outside of his circles no longer allow that courtesy.
She probably makes more money by fundraising off this shit.
Better she spins her wheels on this nonsense than whatever other bullshit she’d be working on otherwise, at least
I'm thinking more about the other side than her.
I love this for her
She is barely sentient and I'm pretty sure a potted plant cant be governor.
I'm not so sure about that (in the "Air Bud rule" sense). Better check that AZ constitution to make sure!
This is still going on? Lake, you are the second worst loser ever.
Oh snap! She’s even losing at losing!
who?
I think she was a 90s daytime talk show host? We'll never really know.
No, no no... You're thinking of Ricki Lake.
that ... was the joke
And they followed up for the rest of us that aren't a million years old and wouldn't know who the fuck that is. I still don't really understand your joke about the 1900s. What even? Is the joke?
First off: calm the fuck down a little.
Second: Fuck you for calling the 90's "the 1900s".
Third: it wasn't that funny, and I won't bother explaining it to you given that snarky attitude of yours.
...it is the 1900s? It's literally a quarter century ago. And if this was 1995, it would be like you making a pop-culture reference to some talk show from 1965 and expecting people to get it, and then when someone helpfully provided context to help people understand wtf you're talking about, you sarcastically said "yeah, that's the joke."
Like it's not a joke most people are going to get. Look at your calendar fr.
What?
Where?
Why? Just Why?
ZAPHOD: Can I just ask you some questions?
ZARNIWOOP: By all means.
ZAPHOD: Okay. Well, for starters, I’ll have who, what, when, and where. And then whither, whether, whence, and wherefore to follow, and one big side order of why?
This cunt. I live in AZ so I've been dealing with her since she was on the local Fox station.
She's challenging this while also running for Senate. She has zero values.
You are NOT the governor.
- Maury Povich
I'm not the governor of Arizona either but I didn't need the court to tell me that.
There is a very interesting psychological phenomena involved as to why your situation and hers are different... Years of scientific study backs this
However, in the interest of time I'll summarize it: unlike her, you are not batshit crazy
Maybe this is real news, but an Onion writer wrote that headline.
Newsflash: AZ's loudest loser loses loudly.
