Katie Hobbs, Arizona governor

[raison de arizona]

Already making waves.

[W. Kevin Vicklund]

I checked out the executive order, it has nothing to do with student pronouns, merely forbids state agencies from discriminating in hiring practices. This is fully within her powers as chief of the executive branch. You to can view it here: https://azgovernor.gov/sites/default/fi ... 023-01.pdf

See, it has a signature and everything... Uh... Wait a second (zooms in)

We may have a problem, guys. The text is at a different resolution that the background. And there's haloes. And where the signature crosses over the text, the resolution is the same as the background. Is this.. could it be...

A FORGERY!?



ROXY!!! YOU GOTS SOME 'SPLAININ' TO DO!!!

Two Republican lawmakers stood and turned their backs to Hobbs during her State of the State address.

"...a new breed of Democratic Fascism..."

Let's just run that through a Nutjobbish to Rationalish translator:

Wibble wibble wibble. Wibble wibble wibble. Wibble wibble wibble.

I think it's fair though: no mention of Hunter Biden's laptop. Or pedopizza.

Not doing what you want != not knowing what she is doing. Also, too, how is it bipartisan when all the Rs voted FER it and all the Ds voted AGIN it? And Hobbs said from the get go if it landed on her desk she would veto it regardless. Anyway.

Katie Hobbs nominates Dr. Cullen, a leftist, to become Arizona's Director of Health Services.

The Arizona Senate says no.

Katie Hobbs vetos a bipartisan Arizona budget.

Bottom line, she has no idea what she is doing.

Hobbs is veto stamp is really getting a workout!

KATIE HOBBS VETOED 13 BILLS…IN ONE DAY!

@GovernorHobbs is on a mission to harm Arizona, and she will do so by thwarting Republican legislation supported by voters.

In other words, she’s going to punish citizens using her veto power.

Hobbs is already detached from Arizona.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

Mostly general Republican masturbatory BS, with a side of Legislative power. One of 'em is the budget.

So glad for the definition. I normally read those up front and missed those and my initial reply/comment to this, now-deleted, was all "Whyfor she not define?" But in fairness to me, I was up all night feeling ooky due to overindulgence in food yesterday, and have not yet been caffeinated today. Still, I'm glad they made it very clear not just what the banned therapy is but also what it isn't, to forestall any 'neener neener'.

That little Gateway Pundit asshat is ambushing Hobbs at her gym.

I ran into @Katiehobbs at the gym this morning after cycling class. What she said to me was very nasty and rude. Ugh!

Stay tuned for the video

[raison de arizona]

She told him to, "Give it a fucking rest, Jordan."

Governor Katie Hobbs to Gateway Pundit reporter chasing her and asking election denier questions: “Give it a fucking rest, Jordan. I’m at the gym.”

[pipistrelle]

She was rude to the guy chasing her around on her own time. Imagine.

[sugar magnolia]

She held off much longer than I would have.

Hobbs reaffirms commitments to LGBTQ community via vetoes, executive orders

Legislative hostility towards LGBTQ Arizonans is likely to persist next year, though in a more muted form as Republican lawmakers adjust to the realities of working with a Democratic governor.

This session was a landmark year for discriminatory legislation at the state Capitol. Several bills were introduced to restrict the behavior and daily lives of LGBTQ people, including measures to clamp down on drag shows, cripple students’ preferred pronoun use and limit school bathroom access.

The proliferation of anti-LGBTQ proposals followed a year of success for Republicans, when former Gov. Doug Ducey signed a school sports ban for trans girls and a prohibition on gender-affirming surgery for minors. But this year’s attempts met a drastically different end.

While the bills won unanimous support from Republican lawmakers, who hold a one-vote majority in each legislative chamber, they were swiftly vetoed by Gov. Katie Hobbs. The Democrat has been a stalwart critic of anti-LGBTQ sentiment and has repeatedly vowed to act as a bulwark against discriminatory legislation. That commitment was reasserted on July 8, at an event hosted by civil rights and LGBTQ advocacy organizations to celebrate Hobbs’ actions.

“As long as I’m governor, the LGBTQ+ community in Arizona will be protected,” she announced, to enthusiastic cheering and applause. “I will continue to use my veto pen as many times as I need to.”

From everything I'm seeing, it's an Acting-Governor-for-a-Day thing, maybe Hobbs is out of state or in surgery or something?
