LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. — Arizona GOP Senate hopeful Kari Lake told supporters they can "strap on a Glock" to be prepared for the intensity of the 2024 campaign and urged military and law enforcement veterans to be "ready," as her race heats up in a key battleground state.

Wow, is Lake advocating for fascists to be attacked by military and law enforcement?

“We need to send people to Washington, D.C., that the swamp does not want there,” Lake said toward the end of a Sunday speech to a crowd of Arizonans in Mohave County. “And I can think of a couple people they don’t want there. First on that list is Donald J. Trump; second is Kari Lake.”

Hmm, she's now speaking in the third person. Ms, is Kari in the room right now? Can I talk to the Kari personality now?

“[Trump]’s willing to sacrifice everything I am."

She speaks the truth! Trump is willing to sacrifice anyone to his goals no matter how small or petty.

"That’s why they’re coming after us with lawfare, they’re going to come after us with everything.

"Lawfare"? I had to look that one up:

"Lawfare is the use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual's usage of their legal rights" source

Yep, that sounds right on, brand with what Lake and Trump want for Americans.

That’s why the next six months is going to be intense. And we need to strap on our — let’s see. What do we want to strap on?” Lake asked as some in the crowd chuckled. “We’re going to strap on our, our seat belt.

Always a good idea to buckle up when operating a motor vehicle. In fact, in many states, its the law.

We’re going to put on our helmet or your Kari Lake ball cap.

Well, if you're doing autocross, its required by SCCA rules to wear a helmet. A ball cap wouldn't be allowed. Sorry Ms Lake.

We are going to put on the armor of God. And maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us just in case.”

I don't remember seeing either of those in the Bible. Are you sure thats what your god would want you to do?

Im many states? Not everywhere?

I knew it was many. You're welcome to google it for specificity if you like. That was beyond my level of interest.

It's legal to drink and drive in Mississippi, actually, but their limit is 0.08%, so you can still get a DUI for it. You won't automatically get one if you're sipping a beer though.

Well you do need some threshold, alcohol is everywhere, there is always some in everyone.
