Michigan GOP Guv Candidates Could Be Disqualified Over Forged Signatures

A state review of thousands of allegedly fraudulent signatures was released Monday.

A signature forgery scandal has turned the race for the GOP nomination to be Michigan’s next governor on its head: Two leading Republican candidates did not collect enough signatures to qualify for the primary ballot after invalid signatures were excluded, according to a report from the state’s Bureau of Elections.

The Bureau of Elections reports will now go to the Board of State Canvassers, which will vote Thursday on which candidates qualify to appear on the ballot for the state’s Aug. 2 primaries.

Thirty-six petition circulators — campaign workers hired to collect signatures — “submitted fraudulent petition sheets consisting entirely of invalid signatures,” according to the Bureau. In all, according to the Bureau’s report Monday, these circulators submitted at least 68,000 invalid signatures across nominating petitions for 10 candidates.

Both leading Republican candidates submitted well above the 15,000 signatures necessary, but were subsequently hit with complaints that that counts contained fraudulent signatures.

“The staff of the Democrat Secretary of Staff [sic] does not have the right to unilaterally void every single signature obtained by the alleged forgers who victimized five campaigns,” John Yob, a consultant for Johnson, wrote on Twitter, adding: “We strongly believe they are refusing to count thousands of signatures from legitimate voters who signed the petitions and look forward to winning this fight before the Board, and if necessary, in the courts.”

So, they admit someone forged signatures, but they shouldn't be punished for it. Personally, I think it is a ridiculous thing to have to get signatures en masse to run. It'd probably make more sense to have to get a handful of signatures in X% of the state counties.

But these rules were created for some reason and the right-wing demands rules be followed to the fullest extent possible... except when it impacts them... and then officials should treat the situation differently (fairly).

Republicans once again proving there is voter fraud.
 
Former NFL Great and attempting to become the US Senate's dumbest member, Herschel Walker might never drink again with his repeated "hold my beer" statements.

The latest, Herschel Walker provided us all with a solution to this gun violence.
article said:
Walker, responding to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting that left 19 children dead, noted that “Cain killed Abel” and followed with a head-scratching suggestion.

"And that's the problem we have." Apparently Walker thinks this is a gang related revenge killing.
“What about getting a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women that looking at social media,” he said.

It gets better because he follows up on his "Big Brother monitors your teenager's internet use" solution with saying the liberals just want to take away the rights of people.

This poet won the nomination for the US Senate! There are people that slave in the House for a chance to run for Senate and this ignoramus that sounds like an ignoramus easily won the Republican Primary.
 
Head Injury Herschel.

What were you looking at when you were holding a gun to your wife's head?
 


You want to stop the war? Drive down the price of oil. Drive down the price of energy. You want to stop it. Stop with the windmills that kill all your birds, and destroy your environment.

This man passed a dementia test, apparently.

Wow! I'd never heard of  Jack Burkman so I clicked at Wikipedia.. Wow! This guy has out-Roved Karl Rove and out-Stoned Roger Stone. We should hope he dies in agony and goes to Hell if there is such a place.

The Wiki article doesn't mention the hunger strike. In fact it's had only two minor updates since September. Apparently the story of this political monster's numerous crimes has reached such an extreme that any further comment would make readers wonder if they've stumbled on some The Onion parody of QOP criminality.
 
China Has A hurricane Gun
Donald Trump was not joking when he asked aides whether China had a "hurricane gun" it was using America, according to a new report by Rolling Stone magazine.

"Near the beginning of Donald Trump’s time in office, the then-president had a pressing question for his national-security aides and administration officials: Does China have the secret technology — a weapon, even — to create large, man-made hurricanes and then launch them at the United States? And if so, would this constitute an act of war by a foreign power, and could the U.S. retaliate militarily? Then-President Trump repeatedly asked about this, according to two former senior administration officials and a third person briefed on the matter," the magazine reported.

One former Trump official, described as "intimately familiar with the then-sitting president’s inquiry," has harsh words for their former boss.

“It was almost too stupid for words,” they said. “I did not get the sense he was joking at all.”

So, Trump asked once, whether China has a hurricane weapon, and was presumably told that there is no such thing, and it's just something he saw on Saturday morning cartoons.

And then later, he asks again, either because he forgot, or because China might have invented the super weapon since last time.

The most baffling part is that this guy is the top contender to be a president again in 2024.

Don't worry. He passed a dementia test.
 
Seen elsewhere:
That whacky Trump is at it again!

In this case, he is hawking a sort-of children's book that sort-of describes how Hillary Clinton treated Trump so very badly and how Trump did not get any help from Russia during the 2016 Presidential race.

Trump Wants Children's Book Defending 'King Donald' In 'Every School In America'

Former President Donald Trump is peddling a children’s book written by a former member of his administration that stars “King Donald” and reimagines a kingdom where the “Russionians” weren’t a factor in the 2016 election.

Now Trump wants to distribute the book to children across the land. “Let’s put this amazing book in every school in America,” Trump posted on Truth Social last week.

...

Conservative publisher Brave Books is presenting the work as both fairytale and fact. It calls the book a “fantastical retelling of the terrible true story.”

...

An Amazon review comment on the book from “DJ-T,” that included the former president’s photo, gushed: “This is the most spectacular children’s book ever! This will be YUGE!”

Jebus! Work on children's book ideas. Write several. *crickets* Drop individual book ideas and develop a four book series. Write the series. Improve the series. Grind, create, stretch. Improve on that. Drop weakest of the books for a three book series (can slip that material in subsequent book). Research, grind, edit. Improve on that! Publishing in children's literature is only a bit easier than tossing an elephant twenty feet.

And this shit gets published?!
