Re: The MAGA Party

Agreed.

The thing no one ever seems to get right though is the ability to resist the tug from extremists that inevitably rip a centralist party apart before it even gets started.

Re: The MAGA Party

The Tea Party felt a lot more legit than whatever this farcical MAGA / Patriot party thing is. As the Biden administration gets some successes under their belt, the threat of a 3rd party will fade just like all the others before it. There are enough smart people left that will regroup the right to b...

Re: The MAGA Party

The question was what would be the net result of Trump starting a party of his own? It would split the right bad enough to ensure Democratic control. Temporarily, as in the 8 years or so it would take for our vast population of moderates to regroup and push things back the other way. I think that's...

Re: WPLJ

There's a question that may not have an answer beyond a shoulder shrug. It wasn't a big deal in the 80s when they dropped the WPLJ calls for a couple of years only to bring em back because everyone ignored the change. I wonder, had the WRIF calls wound up in NYC like they were supposed to, would tho...

Re: Mega Millions ticket sold in Metro Detroit

Grand River Ave near Beck Rd is the store where it was sold! Did that location used to be a Hiller's Market? Exterior of the store doesn't fit the typical Kroger mold. Nope - that one has always been a Kroger. There used to be a Kroger in West Oaks Mall; after that one closed in 1997-98ish the one ...

Re: High school playoffs on CW 46

Not sure of how all that works other than Fox Sports Detroit (yes, I'm aware they are owned by Sinclair) has had the rights to the finals since what seems like forever. Finding them is no more than a Google search away.

A station GM can't override rights issues.

Fat-shaming now to make points? Despicable.

You are rapidly losing all credibility and the ability to legitimately call out anyone else on this board for their behavior.

No.

MDHHS orders and policies are independent of who, when, or under what administration enacts them.

Re: Health director fired? (Robert Gordon MiDHHS out)

What point? You are right: we don't know how spread works very well. But reducing the number of people in a room longer than 10 minutes unquestionably decreases risks. Restaurants: 45 minutes, no mask, lots of talking, various sizes rooms, not good. The point that Gordon quit over science. You have...

There is significant data that bars which do not encourage staying seated had measurable spread.
Ok. Thus the 10 PM curfew.
I think Whitmer wanted restaurants opened, but science didn't support the decision and he quit.
You've successfully weakened your own point. Congrats

Re: Health director fired? (Robert Gordon MiDHHS out)

Look at our spread, it's down. Undeniably. Why? None of us can answer that with any certainty. Maybe mask wearing compliance has increased. Maybe people stopped getting together privately outside and inside. Maybe workers that had resumed in-person activities cut back again. Maybe restaurants and b...

I think Whitmer wanted restaurants opened, but science didn't support the decision and he quit. Most of the opens and closings have been within 24 hours, this announcement give restaurants more that a week. He is not a scientist. He's a paper shuffling political pawn. There is no good science on wh...
