One thing you can say about Sockeye Sarah, she is never at a loss for words, though most of the time they don’t fit together too well.
Here she states that rank choice voting in Alaska, which was approved by Voter Initiative in 2020, is a creation of “the establishment”, caused her loss to Democrat Mary Peltola and that her other Republican opponent Nick Begich, who has as much right as the half-whacked-Governor to stay in the race, should drop out to clear the field for her. Fat chance grizzly-breath, that’s not going to happen, and even if it did you might not like the results any better, because in a state that is overwhelmingly Republican, Democrat Peltola outpolled them both.
Still Sarah blames everyone but herself for the loss and thinks the entire nation should be as pissed as she is…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHABABABABAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I just peed a little HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what an asshole HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey, Jo, save some of those guffaws for me!🤣🤣🤣🤣
How peculiar that Republicans can’t seem to understand- -or accept—that “election loss” means REJECTION of them personally, their policies, and their party 🙄 Maybe a massive #BlueWave will finally force that realization.

Nice thought, Mama, but reality ain’t really their bag.
10s of people are angry about this.

If that.
👇👇👇
We the people of Alaska voted for ranked choice. So why didn’t you campaign against it Sarah? Oh right you left AK years ago and only showed back up to run for Don’s seat. Peltola is 100x more ALASKAN than you do just go back to Arizona Sarah!!!

This is right out of the Trump playbook. Let me paraphrase: 'I was the VP nominee. I'm special. Alaskans should have voted for me. I deserve to be in Congress because I'm famous.' Unfortunately for you Sarah, the voters in Alaska didn't think so.

Yup
Well, she hasn’t lost as many times as her kid has been arrested, so she’s still got that in her favor. https://t.co/CXzWrvv5vS

Aren’t we all, Paige, aren’t we all.
Cynical, disingenuous, bad faith actor. She and the rest of them KNOW they are on the losing side. They are convinced they can incite their deplorables to demand fascism so they can seize and maintain permanent power.
We are angry Sarah. Angry that the people picked by the rich to run for office & pollute the airwaves are as evil, soulless, stupid, & hypocritical as YOU are. Goddamnit. You’d think a state with that many grizzly bears would have ONE that stumbled on this bag of pus & shut her the fuck up once & for all time.
I’m quite delighted to disappoint Palin by being the OPPOSITE of pissed about her losing! Instead of a coronation she crashed and burned. Now Petulant Palin is demanding Begich drop out to give her a better shot in November. It seems he’s told her to go pound sand, or since this is Alaska pound her head on a glacier. She was a fuckup as Mayor of Wasilla, a fuckup as Gov. (and quit halfway through cause she saw megabucks forever via punditry) and since then probably would have made a halfway decent living by hosting “Reality Trailer Park Life in Alaska.” Not the fabulous living she envisioned but like Jerry Springer people would tune in every week for the shitshow action between “guests.”
I SO hope Begich sticks to his principles and refuses to step aside. He’s young enough to wait two years to try and take on Peltola one on one. And Palin will be gone from Alaska by then.
A couple of interesting side notes related to Palin:
1) As I understand it, Begich is the late Don Young’s son-in-law and their family has hated the Palins for quite a while. Probably thought they’d seen the last of her when she went to Arizona, so this must REALLY piss Begich off.
2) The person who gave her own reality show, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” on TLC, was David Zaslav, head of Discovery and recent acquirer of Warner Brothers. That includes CNN and since he’s a hardcore Trumper, that’s why the quality took a sudden nosedive.
Ah, Sarah Palin, the gift that keeps on taking. If Republicans had any sense…oh, what am I saying? Sense officially went into exile with Liz Cheney. Screechy is likely going to blow it for them again in November.
The former half-term governor of Alaska says what?
(Her 15 minutes were up – 15 years ago.)
Might want to recheck your math. 15 years ago, nobody outside of Alaska had ever heard of her*. She didn’t get her “15 minutes of fame” until the summer of 2008 when McCain’s people inflicted the Tundra Twit on the country as a whole.
*Obviously uber-diehard political junkies and trivia fans who kept up with all the governors of the states had heard of her but that’s such a small subset of the American population, their number might have been less than 1% of the population of Alaska.
