Remember 06 January?
If you do you will remember that loonie that dressed like a Native American medicine man, the so-called QAnon Shaman….he was arrested convicted and then let out for whatever reason….well he is back looking for a new job.
The new job he is seeking is as representative of the people…..
Jacob Chansley, the man often seen as the face of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and who is perhaps more famously known as “QAnon Shaman,” promised after being released from prison and a halfway house that he would continue his quest for “truth.” Apparently that journey involves the 35-year-old running for Congress in Arizona. The Arizona Republic reports he filed a candidate statement of interest with the Arizona Secretary of State’s office Thursday, though he used the name Jacob Angeli-Chansley, which he has been known to go by. He indicated he’d run as a libertarian. The US Constitution does not prohibit convicted felons from holding federal office, Axios notes.
Chansley is looking to replace Debbie Lesko, a Republican, who is not seeking re-election to the House of Representatives next year. And he’s far from the only one: Per the Republic, the field is “so crowded, he’s not even the only one who was at the attack on the Capitol.” Arizona state Sen. Anthony Kern, who is also running, was also at the Capitol on January 6. Other Republicans running include Arizona House speaker Ben Toma and Trent Franks, who once held the seat but resigned amid controversy regarding sexual harassment and a strange surrogacy offer in 2017.
You may think the House is a silly house of clowns well if this d/bag wins it will only get worse.
Time to lock this ilk away from civil society….for his part and his conviction should negate this tool from ever holding office. PERIOD!
I read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
If you want my opinion, if we keep up with the current nonsensical clown show in congress, it will be no time at all before most of the members of congress will be convicted felons….and probably even a president too….and yes, I did enjoy the post—I do not enjoy the nightmarish thoughts that it causes …
I agree it seems to get worse and more silly every election. chuq
I just have this horrible feeling that we are moving closer and closer to a nazi-style authoritarianism all the time and people don’t seem to be aware or they welcome the idea.
John…I will be posting on Trump’s Vet day speech and you tell me what you think. chuq
I am going to imagine that Trump’s Vet Day speech is going to be straight out of Mein Kampf.
Oh it was….it was…..chuq
I find it disturbing as well, but I’m not at all surprised. And I fear he has a chance of winning. Look at the rest of that bunch of clowns in the House (and in the Senate, for that matter)
THat was my thought as well chuq
If we keep allowing this kind of crap it will be no time at all until the entire us government is going to be made up completely and exclusively of brigands, criminals, perverts and idiots.
Isn’t it petty much now? chuq
They should just ban convicted criminals from running for office. How hard can that be?
Best wishes, Pete.
I agree but there is little in the Constitution that would support such move….silly isn’t ti? chuq
Time it was changed then, chuq.
Indeed but that would open a whole other can of worms….so we wait chuq
