We're not the party who endangers an entire state's health repeatedly. We aren't the ones who stand with idiots who want to kidnap Whitener.
This is a lie: https://www.redstate.com/bonchie/2020/1 ... out-trump/

Also, why didn't Whitmer have the decency to tell the legislative leaders of the threat?


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

She had a proposal, the GOP Gestapo shut it down.
Her proposal was absolute dog shit and was widely panned, even by low intelligence Bideners: https://www.crainsdetroit.com/voices-ch ... -hike-plan

It might be a good idea to not always resort to the nazi card.
And Snyder's proposal?

You mean this one: https://www.freep.com/story/news/politi ... /75510548/

That legislation allowed for all of the construction that has happened around the state this year. As Audiophile pointed out, road construction lost early momentum because of Whitmer's orders.

No, here's the real story of his administration... What he got past was called lackluster at best.

Do you understand how dates work? I posted an article with legislation signed in November, 2015, and you respond with something posted in December, 2014, 11 months BEFORE the signing? Wow, thats bad, even for you.

Totally understand I also understand his plan was 5 years too late and not realistic for the problems our roads have.

Maybe if Whitmer would fix the damn roads, more people would want to drive.
The lack of enthusiasm for driving among younger generations is a national issue and has nothing to do with the condition of the roads.

The GOP/Snyder legislation signed into law in 2015 was half-assed. Municipalities and counties remain hamstrung. Better than nothing, but it was half-assed.

And, yes, Whitmer's proposal was completely unrealistic and unreasonable.

How many unemployed steel industry workers either (a) had their hard-earned savings extorted by Snyder's UIA or (b) had to wait many weeks for their first check under Whitmer's UIA?

I think what happened to 40,000+ residents of Michigan who applied for unemployment benefits under Snyder only to have their tax refund checks and hard-earned savings extorted is sickening. The media were so obsessed with Flint that they largely ignored this monumental gaffe. Snyder wouldn't even publicly address - or meet with - those impacted. He wouldn't even address the scandal during his State of the Union speeches. Pitiful. He seemed more concerned about completely distancing himself from that crisis than ensuring those wrongly impacted received recompense.

Here is a press release of Snyder boasting of the legislation he signed into law in late 2013 that helped pave the way for sanctioned extortion:

Granholm was horrible, Snyder was horrible, and Whitmer is horrible.
