I'd be happy to lose another couple of red voters from our swing state to deplorable crazyland.
Glad to be of service, as some of us "deplorables" pay hefty Michigan income tax, myself included. Get ready to say "das vadanya" to that money. My neighbor is taking things a step further, and *moving* his Michigan S-Corp to the Cayman Islands.

My issue is with the sissy RINO's, who are so infected with Trump derangement syndrome, they can't back their own party. Good luck with Tyrant Whitmer, and the next flurry of mandates and lockdowns. :smokin

Boohoo I'm sure we're going to miss your tax dollars. We are not having a revenue problem in the state of Michigan. You're like a Karen telling the manager of a Target that she's taking her business elsewhere. If we get enough of your type to leave, we might actually start attracting the right kinds of citizens.

Trump has lost 3 straight elections. Him and his supporters are the RINOs.


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

Keep voting in the Bushies, the neo-cons, and the big spenders. I'll still be here, but it won't have much effect on me.

I haven't been to Target in years...and most of the "Karen's" around here are on your side, not mine! :lol

The Land Rovers and Subarus blow their cover, but hey, keep the funnies coming. I'll still be here. I just won't be paying as much as you and Matt for the privilege.

Yep. I get the picture. No thanks.
Go with Tudor… let’s make it a trifecta till 2030.

I'll go with MCRF's favorite politician, DeathSantis.

You see, I have a home in Florida, on one of the alligator filled lakes near Orlando. Some minor paperwork, a trip to the DMV, and presto!... that's my primary residence again. Anyone who doesn't like it can come on down for a visit, and walk toward the lake 'til your hat floats. :hat
Polk County isn't Orlando.

So, for those extreme liberals that remain in Michigan that will be aborting their children and grandchildren, who will be left to turn out the lights?

Yep, that's how it is in reality. We are all a bunch of aborting fools.

If you understood the concept of pro choice, you'd realize how ridiculous you sound. It's about the choice.

Hefty state income tax? Give me a break, Colonel.

Our marginal tax rate of 4.25 percent on personal income is one of the lowest rates for northern tier states. WI, IL and IN are all higher. OH is lower, but counties and cities can (and do) levy sales taxes there.

The only folks with TDS are Trumpbots who worship him as an idol. Maybe his stooge candidates would've fared better if he actually threw some meaningful campaign $$$ their way.

Property taxes would be a more legitimate argument perhaps. We're 13th highest nationally as a percentage of property value, but bear in mind that's largely due to the fact very few cities and no counties levy income tax and none levy sales tax here.

Hey, I didn't like it when Trump did it either. That's a typical "Republican Lite" theory. If someone doesn't like the Bush clan, or McConnell, or Mitt Romney, then they must be a hardline Trump supporter. The RINO's need to be retired. The country doesn't need to be controlled by Goldman Sachs. You guys run lousy candidates. The late Bob Dole, and John McCain, and Mitt, are all laughable examples.

But back to Michigan...sure, what the hell, let's prop up recycled deadwood talent like Bill Schuette, and Pete Hoekstra, and expect different results, and new ideas. I'm surprised someone didn't suggest John Engler or Spence Abraham 😆

As my old friend Mitch Albom has been saying a lot lately, when discussing politics "There HAS to be somebody better than this"

On the current trajectory, this state will follow Oregon into the abyss.
