    I think the blurb told me enough, thanks. I know who Trump and Biden are but don’t want to follow too many of the minor players.

      Are you in the US or another country? She’s not really important except she was Trump’s press secretary for a while and is the daughter of senator Mike Huckabee, so she has some influence and political sway with the Trump supporters, and likely will try to interfere with voting in Arkansas this November. 500+ people in Congress, 50 governors, the judges, all the people around the president and with Trump’s Trials… There are way too many minor characters to keep track of all their nonsense, it’s like a soap opera that’s been going on for 250 years.

        I’m in the US and yeah I’m aware that the US has many nutball politicians. IIRC, Mike Huckabee was once also AR governor. Thanks.

          I wouldn’t necessarily call her a minor character. I put her in the league with desantis and abbott. She just seems to fly under the national radar and i thought this article does a great job of calling her out and

            Between when I posted and now I’ve done some reading on her Wikipedia and news articles. She definitely isn’t a Minor character anymore, it’s looking possible that she’ll be Trump’s VP pick and the reason for her isolation from the press and extended public appearances is strategic to allow her to continue her agenda of turning her state into the prototype for their vision for the rest of the country, while trying to remain obscure and forgotten in the national news cycle until trump announces her at the 11th hour. She has huge support in Arkansas and a dad’s governor/senator legacy to bolster her name. Arkansas support brought the Clinton’s to the national stage, I wonder if the same will happen with Sanders? I genuinely fear her being in the office of vice president and possibly becoming president. It feels in line with “Project 2025” (I’m going to read it tonight finally, may post back with info from that) . She is an absolutely Cold and unfeeling person wearing a compassionate human mask from the dollar store. If she gets power she will abolish many government agencies like the department of education and reverse policies on everything the Biden administration enacted. Trump is a loud flamboyant idiot that brags about his crimes and plans, while she follows the Putin model of strictly controlling the people and Press around her. That’s what scares me about her, that and the already obvious argument from her supporters about her dissenters being discriminating against people with disabilities (her eye condition).
            Remember she loosened child labor laws, and the kids crave for the mines memes.

             TLDR!
            Sorry for this text block, my tldr is Sarah Huckabee Sanders seems to be a serious person to pay attention to, rather than all the goons screaming for Media attention.

              Yes, thank you! I’m doing what i can to spread the word about what’s happening here. Florida and Texas get all of the press. Arkansas is falling into the same pit.
