Former Arizona state representative Austin Smith (R - Maricopa County) was sentenced to two years of probation and barred from running for public office for five years after forging signatures on his election petition. Defense counsel Kurt Altman pleaded for economic leniency from the Court because Smith's "finances are not extraordinary," so he was only fined $5,500.

*** 'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley Turns Against Dummkopf Trumpf and Says He Will Run for Arizona Governor ***

The 6 Jan insurrectionist called the Trumpf junta "a corrupt disaster," pointing to US support for Israel and Dummkopf Trumpf's resistance to releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.

On the dramatic abduction of Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro by USSOF last week, Jacob Angeli (38) accused the Dotard-in-Chief of "essentially using the American military to commit the armed robbery of a nation."

"Since I'm one of the only people that seem to have their wits about them and understand what's actually going on in the world, it is up to me, as far as I'm concerned, to do something about these problems."

This lunatic, who was pardoned by Dummkopf Trumpf for attacking the US Capitol on 6 Jan 2021, is an a competitive field with three other GOP insiders and MAGAts; he has no chance, but the QAnon Shaman will be a irritating pebble in the GOP shoe this year in the Grand Canyon State.

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. And just what is in the drinking water in Arizona?
