It appears the fight between our two favorite MAGA queens to be Donald Trump‘s VP is back on!
Kari Lake and Kristi Noem were both floated as possible VP choices in a chilling Axios article about how Trump would weaponize the federal government in a second term. This time, Trump wants to fill his cabinet with loyalists who will carry out his orders of retribution from day one.
Some of the names are so offensive, Lake and Noem don’t even qualify as the most terrifying possibilities. What do you think about Marjorie Taylor Greene for Veep, Stephen Miller for Attorney General and Steve Bannon for White House Chief of Staff?
It might be time to start reading up about other countries’ asylum systems…
For months, Noem and Lake have been jockeying for position atop Trump’s VP list. The claws were officially out over the fall: Lake appeared to leak a story about the South Dakota governor’s alleged years-long affair with Corey Lewandowski.

She smiles and turns the page…
Noem, a self-proclaimed family values governor, continues to jet off with Lewandowski… while denying their reported affair.
Most recently, Noem and Lewandowski flew off to Paris, where they both spoke at a conference with right-wing nuts. Other speakers included: cow-suing Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes, pro-conversion therapy Brexit bonehead Nigel Farage, Romanian talk show host/politician and accused sexual predator Dorin Lacob.
What a Mount Rushmore of homophobes!
Not to be outdone, Lake continues to bring her crazy all around Arizona. The gubernatorial loser is running an increasingly futile campaign for senate, and struggling to attract supporters.
As it turns out, people remember when you malign them on the campaign trail. Who knew?!
Republican officials in Arizona aren’t taking well to her overtures. One official told the Arizona Republic Lake’s “charm offensive has turned out to be offensive with no charm.”
OUCH!
Former U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon, whom Lake accused of being “OK with special needs kids being raped” after he opposed her plan to install cameras in school bathrooms, told The Washington Post he would never help her.
“She employs the politics of personal destruction, and she’ll say anything — the most vile things in the world — to get ahead. And I’m sorry, I just can’t forget that,” he said.
When Lake asked for the support of Karrin Taylor Robson, one of her gubernatorial opponents whom she called an “open-borders, Ducey-clone RINO,” she said she was focused on helping Republicans in the legislature.
Former Arizona Senator Jon Kyle, who served alongside John McCain, one of Lake’s favorite punching bags, has shunned her altogether.
Lake, for her part, says she’s never considered herself divisive.
The likely Democratic nominee for senate, Rep. Ruben Gallego, would beg to differ. Lake launched her campaign after verbally accosting him outside of an airport men’s room.
Astonishingly, he kept his cool.
Arizona voters are taking to Lake’s charm about as well as alienated Republican officials. Early polling shows she trails Gallego in both a three-person race and head-to-head matchup.
Noem is allegedly carrying on an affair with a MAGA acolyte, and Lake is turning off everybody in her home state.
It seems like these two gals are perfect picks to be Trump’s VP after all.

When did Kari Lake ever get out of the gutter?

All the gutters in Arizona empty into Scari Lake. But it doesn’t rain often there, so the gutters get really clogged and gross!

Either of these two would be popular with the dimwitted, immoral MAGA base, and even more UNpopular in the general election than Caribou Barbie was in 2008. I think it would be more fun to see Scari Lake lose her own state! Although Noem seems even more unstable and unpredictable, and maybe her boyfriend Corey would punch her husband or something like that, something that normal people with morals (unlike MAGAts) would find distasteful.
But Steve Miller as Attorney General sounds awesome, he’s a Joker and a smoker and a midnight toker who will remove cannabis from Schedule 1 at last, and then we can all Fly Like an Eagle! Oh wait, you probably mean that other Miller….

Lake has never won an election so she’d probably be super crazy, Noem, who is crazy as well, has won, but it’s S. Dakota, so…

She is one super big mess. And a meany.

Jokes on them. Rumor has it he’s seriously considering Tucker Carlson for the role. Can you imagine? We’d be doomed.
Hope everyone get’s out there and VOTES!

I would love that! Tuckems alienates as many or more than he attracts!

He’s one of our resident GOP TROLLS.

Who ever he picks will have a big chance of being President. If he wins the election, I don’t think he’ll survive the 4 years.

Exercise their 2nd ammendment rights and figure out who will get the role. You’d think these gun lovers would done this by now for being out loud.
