SHIRKey is a loon and a misogynist. Republicans refuse to speak out about the Capitol insurrection. They tried to kill Pelosi. We wouldn't hear the end of it if someone had try to kill Dump.

Scary to how close they were to Romney, and all the hate toward Pence. I said to my wife, "Things would have been different if they got Pence", and she, being the more pragmatic in our relationship was right as usual. "Wouldn't have made any difference." She's right....all those nuts wouldn't have given a fuck. Trump is a fucking God to these fucking idiots.

He wasn't all wrong in what he said. Those lunatics that stormed the Capitol are not of the same mindset and ilk as the average Trump supporter. The media and most on the left would like you to believe that they are. THAT is the hoax part.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Ok.

But is Trump Hill really the one you want to die on? Why not consider that hill as lost, regroup and defend something with long term value to your party? It's incredible to see so many falling on swords that could easily just be walked around.

He's one of Audiophile's good old KKKristian types. I'm sure they pray for him. He behaves like a hayseed moron and is an embarrassment to the state. We really need to do something about these Ultra rural fools who have managed to get into leadership of our state. They clearly only know things in the simplest of terms.
Shirkey also touted the Republican-led Legislature’s ongoing opposition to Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s COVID-19 policies, saying the GOP had “spanked her hard” by rejecting some of her appointments and budget plans.

He also suggested he had “once or twice” contemplated inviting Whitmer to a "fistfight on the Capitol lawn"

Those comments drew condemnation as both conspiratorial and sexist when they surfaced Tuesday. Shirkey issued a statement of apology that night for what he called “insensitive comments” without specifying what he meant.

But he appeared to walk the apology back Wednesday morning in a private conversation with Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, a Democrat, which was caught on microphone and broadcast on a live stream of the Senate session.

I love the picture of LT. Governor Gilchrist as he is looking as if to say, "Is this motherfucker serious?"

This is also part of the Republican plan. This is why they want to defund education. Keep the voting populace dumb.

That’s not what he said though.

Instead of worrying about hoaxes and how “the left” is trying to “cancel” you why don’t you folks come up with some ideas enough people like so much that they vote Republican? How about having a platform? “TRUMP!!!” Is not a platform.

"Insurrection" is a joke, and a hoax. Riot? Certainly. Wrong? Certainly. But no "insurrection" at all.

so you haven't really been watching the impeachment trial have you?

The Assistant Senate Minority Leader was quoted as saying the Demorats made a good case.

That's like if I stole your car and told you I was just borrowing it.

What exactly is the goal of killing high ranking elected officials? Tea with their widows?

Shirkey is right that the attacks were planned well in advance and were organized, but any suggestion that these were not "Trump's people" is idiotic.

An overwhelming percentage of the perpetrators were brainwashed, Trump-loving, QAnon adhering wackjobs. Trump embraces these loons. Just look at his confidants and inner circle.

I will say the indignation at Shirkey's comments is over the top. Certain media outlets' obsession over them - especially MLive and The Detroit Free Press - perhaps are part of an effort to deflect attention away from Whitmer.

Policy wise and procedurally, I generally like what Shirkey has done as Senate majority leader. FAR BETTER than his predecessor from Grand Haven. The casual, irreverent conversation caught on tape was a bad moment for him, but overall I respect his record to date.

I know Mr. Shirkey previously stated he does not wish to run for gubernatorial office in 2022, but I happen to think there's a greater than 50/50 chance that he will.
