Kari Lake, wingnut

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Annoyed that Lake will be shrieking about another stolen election for years.
Don't think a whole lot of people are going to listen to her shrieking with wingnuts in the majority.

So, there's that.
Small consolation.
Shockingly, half of AZ is listening to her and she could claim that the MAGAt shift elsewhere proves that AZ is more corrupt.

Minister of Propaganda Goebbels, err, Lake:
Trump taps immigration hard-liner Kari Lake as head of Voice of America

... Trump said ... Lake will “ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media.”...

The thing I don't understand about these people like Kari is that if she had backed off just a little on the crazy, she'd probably have gotten elected. It wouldn't have taken much - just wipe up the drool occasionally. But nooooo - it's all crazy all the time even if it cost her the job.

That would have been the smart thing to do.

Oh wait.....

Judge says Kari Lake’s tenure atop US media agency was improper, voids actions as ‘acting CEO’
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth concluded that her ascension was an illegal end-run around the Senate’s advice and consent role.


Judge Royce Lamberth was appointed by Ronald Reagan.
:---P
Kari Lake was illegally empowered to run the U.S. Agency for Global Media — the federal agency that oversees Voice of America — and her actions in that role were illegitimate, a federal judge ruled Saturday.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth concluded that Lake was ineligible to serve as USAGM’s acting CEO when she was formally elevated to the position on July 31 in an “acting capacity” and without Senate confirmation. She relinquished that position on Nov. 19.

Lamberth said any actions Lake took in that four-month timeframe must be treated as “void,” including an Aug. 29 reduction in USAGM’s workforce. Lamberth also invalidated actions Lake took when the agency’s previous acting CEO, Victor Morales, delegated nearly the entirety of his responsibilities to her, concluding that this was also an illegal end-run around the Senate’s advice and consent role.

“The Court finds that these expansive delegations were an unlawful effort to transform Lake into the CEO of U.S. Agency for Global Media in all but name,” the judge wrote....

At the heart of the fight is the federal Vacancies Reform Act, which limits the way agencies can appoint temporary leaders while awaiting permanent nominees to be confirmed. Lake, Lamberth concluded, did not fit any of the criteria required to assume the acting CEO position.

... Lamberth leaned heavily on the ruling by the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals that similarly invalidated the appointment of Alina Habba, President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, to lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey....

They only understand the term when it's shouted "ILLEGAL" and applies to a brown guy who signed entry papers on the wrong line.
