Well…just read an interesting article about the progress being made here in Michigan and one thing that you need to know is the dems did this…and it all started with the constitutional amendment that took redistricting out of the hands of the repubs resulting in fair maps being drawn…and that I will thank the people of Michigan for…or the 60% + that voted for the amendment…and that lead to the dems winning complete control of the state for the first time since the 1980′s. The people came through again last fall when they voted to enshrine reproductive rights and voting rights into the constitution…and now with the new majorities in place, we are going to see LGBT rights protected by law, repeal of the 1931 law outlawing abortions that the repubs were going to use to take women’s rights away…get rid of the anti union right to work laws that have depressed wages across the state…and expand the earned income tax credit to help low income families…any of this sound like anything the repubs would do? Nope…and under governor Whitmer, Michigan is number one on employment, personal income, home prices, mortgage delinquency, and the stock performance of publicly traded Michigan based companies…oh, and we were number one in adding energy related jobs and are set up to “dominate” the electric vehicle battery market…did you notice one thing? Not a damn tax cut for the rich or corporations in that mix…as always, economies always do better when the dems are in charge…and I hope it stays that way…geez…

Ha, ha….the repubs here in Michigan are nuts…
Well…after the repubs lost everything here in Michigan when they couldn’t cheat, it is a little bit of fun listening to them pointing fingers at everyone but themselves…and they now have even started attacking the repubs who were at the top of the ticket saying they were not “quality” candidates…not that they are just the normal run of the mill maga candidates who had no ideas that anyone wanted…I mean the only reason that tudor dixon was their governor candidate was that betsy devos bought it for her…and all she did was spout that abortion rights would be gone if she was elected…and that was just so stupid with the constitutional amendment protecting those rights polling at nearly 70%…so she gave up all those votes for no reason at all…or just to keep the maga assholes happy…and that was the problem all the way down the ticket…and look at john gibbs who beat pete meijer in the primary…this said that women shouldn’t even have the right to vote and that was just fine with the repub primary voters…here’s the thing I’ve been harping on for quite a while now…if the vote is fair in Michigan, as it now has to be with gerrymandering essentially outlawed, we will win since they are more of us than repubs…and we have ideas for making the state better and the repubs only have hate to run on…and we’re tired of that crap…and that showed election day…yee ha…
Good for Michigan….
Well…just got back from getting two teeth pulled and thought I’d do one of these with probably the only bit of good news about the election…the voters of Michigan…man, you gotta love them as they turned out in force for dems and turned control of the entire government over to the dems for the first time in 40 years…yep the entire damn government here is no longer going to be run by the election denier maga repubs who lost here big time…and that is due to the fair redistricting that was enshrined in the constitution by a vote of the people in 2020 so the repubs can no longer cheat…but the repubs did win the house so we are in for nothing but bullshit for the next two years…now, the dems still have control for two months so we can still get a few things done…still not going to read much news for a while yet unless trump gets indicted…and I need that to happen right now…
Repubs cheat in Michigan…again…
Well…like they always do, the repubs are cheating again in Michigan and this time they have tried to have the will of the people not mean anything as they did with gerrymanders here…just yesterday the two repubs on the board of canvassers who were just supposed to certify that there were enough signatures to put two citizen led initiatives on the ballot, one to expand and put voting rights into the state constitution, and the second was to enshrine women’s rights into the state constitution…but no, they are repubs, after all…and they made up new powers for themselves to nitpick the petitions that were used to collect signatures and reject both of them…powers they don’t have so now the organizations who collected the signatures have to go to the supreme court here to overrule these assholes and put the initiatives on the ballot this fall. Folks, this is what repubs do, they lie cheat and steal to force their extreme bullshit on people who don’t want it at all…and polls show that both of these initiatives will pass with almost 70% of the vote…so who the hell are repubs representing? Just their donors and the tiny slice of the population who are in the maga cult…no one else wants them to do what they are doing and we will stop them and the initiatives will be on the ballot…geez…
Women’s rights on the ballot….
Well…some good news today here in Michigan as the groups trying to enshrine women’s rights to control their own body in the Michigan constitution blew past the required 400K signatures on the petitions to almost double that….so it will be on the ballot this fall and I am pretty damn happy about that…and the article went on to say they had 60,000 volunteers sign up to gather the signatures necessary and no one has ever seen that before…and with these rights polling at over 70%, it is almost certain to pass…but you can be sure the repubs here are already scheming to nullify these rights so we also need to vote these corrupt assholes out and put the dems back in control of the house and senate along with re-electing Whitmer for governor…okay, the JWST photos are coming up…need to watch….
It’s always the republicans…
Well…I wonder why it’s always the repubs who are the ones committing election fraud? Okay, we know why…they don’t believe the law applies to them and they can’t win without cheating….and just yesterday every damn one of the repubs who are running in the primary for governor here in Michigan were found to have faked almost half of the signatures they needed to qualify for the ballot. So, all of these law and order folks broke the law before they were even in an election…I wonder what they would stoop to if they are in the election against Whitmer? I am just so damn tired of these assholes constantly trying to tear down our democracy by this cynical bullshit…are they so unpopular that they can’t get the signatures legally or are they just too damn lazy to follow the law and do it right? I think it would be funny if all of them were thrown out of the election for fraud before the primary is even held and they have to dig even farther down in their rotten barrel to come up with a candidate….this should be in every Whitmer ad in the general in the fall and every reporter should ask any repub about what they knew and when they knew it about the fake nominating signatures….and ask why they have such contempt for our democracy that they would cheat to get elected…..geez…
This is smart…
Well…I’m not sure if any of you read about this but it put a big smile on my face…some time last week, as I was reading the news, I came across an article about a woman here in Michigan who is getting a petition drive up to put a woman’s control of her own body on the ballot and enshrine those rights in our constitution…and with almost 70% of the people here supporting a woman’s right to choose, if she can get enough signatures on the petitions, which I will gladly sign, we can finally take this weapon away from the repubs here and make sure they can never make women second class citizens again. I think this is a reaction the almost certain overturning of Roe by the right wing zealots on the SC…taking away a right that women have had sine the 70′s…something that has never happened in the history of the country…but that doesn’t matter to the right wing hacks on the SC…every one of who promised that Roe was “settled law” and they would follow precedent and leave it in place….but every damn one of them lied their asses off during their confirmation hearings and that should be enough to remove them from the court. This is what comes from reps who only serve a small minority of the country trying to jam their religion down our throats…we will find a way to fight back…and this amendment is the best way I’ve seen…geez…
This is welcome news…
Well…as the revelations of the depth of the repub plot to overthrow the results of the 2020 election, the tentacles of the conspiracy made their way to our state of Michigan where many, many repub leaders conspired to send a fake set of electors to the National Archives as a way to cast doubt on the outcome of the election and allow Mike Pence to throw out the votes of the people in 7 states that went for Biden…but today, we had a welcome bit of news when our AG, Dana Nessel, referred this group of traitors to federal prosecutors…and to add to that she stated that there are state charges that are coming for “forgery of a public record” which carries a 14 year sentence and election law forgery which has a five year sentence attached…and the lies and forgery purported that the idiot trump won the state, falsely claimed to record the official slate of electors, and falsely claimed that the electors had been selected at the state capitol….when this scheme was hatched and the forgery was done at Michigan repub headquarters…and these morons sent the forgery by registered mail to the NA and signed their names to it…and the forgers included the state repub chair and vice chair, and a member of the RNC and a township election clerk…and as part of plot, to make it appear official, these forgers tried to enter the capitol so they could say that the vote was taken in the capitol but they were turned away…and this plan was part of the entire scheme that was presented to repubs in congress so they would know what to do on January 6th. Sounds like a pretty broad based conspiracy to me…and I applaud AG Nessel for not putting up with the bullshit here in Michigan and making sure there will be consequences for this seditious conspiracy…they all need to go to jail as a deterrent to them trying it again….geez…
Even the NY times thinks we’re doing it right here…
Well…I just about choked on my dinner yesterday when I read that the NY times thinks we’re doing something right with our non-partisan redistricting committee here in Michigan. In a state that, by all accounts, was one of the most heavily gerrymandered ones in the country…done by repubs…the Times gushed that we are going to have one of the most fair electoral maps in the country and that was the result of a constitutional amendment approved by 65% of the people a couple of years back….but that’s not enough..we may have fair maps here, but we can have them all over the country if Manchin and Sinema would go along and see the necessity of taking away the repubs chance to cheat by gerrymandering everywhere they are in control…and all they would have to do is vote for the freedom to vote act that is coming up for a vote in January….how can any dem not support taking away repubs ability to cheat? This act would finally level the playing field across the country and make sure that the voters pick their reps and not the other way around as the repubs have rigged across the country…and the time is now as redistricting takes place across the country this year…get it done…geez…
Michigan beats Ohio State!!
Well…holy, holy crap! Michigan just beat Ohio State by the score of 42-27 and I am so damn geeked…Big Ten East champs and go into the playoff next Sat for the championship…and if they win that one, they will be in the playoffs for the National Championship in January…probably the most complete game I have ever seen the Wolverines play…they just ran over Ohio and matched them every time they scored….it has been such a long time since Michigan did this that I thought they never would again….today they were the much better team and will end up in the top four at least and maybe all the way up to second since Ohio was 2nd and got completely whipped….I think I’ll have a smile on my face the rest of the day…Go Blue!
