Well….as the virus explodes again here in Michigan and our competent governor is forced to take steps again to stop the spread with closing dine in restaurants, bars, and schools for three weeks…we get the predictable comments from trump’s toady, Scott Atlas, who is supposed to be running the covid response…that the people of Michigan should “rise up” to stop the new restrictions…never mind that governor Whitman was the target of a kidnapping and murder scheme that was spurred on by the idiot’s comments on earlier restrictions and this comment will probably do the same this time for the gun-toting morons that belch “freedom” every time government tries to protect us from their stupidity. Look, trump’s cronies did nothing for Michigan when this pandemic started and are still doing nothing as we reach a million new cases a day in the US so they should just shut the hell up and stay out of Michigan’s business…and let our governor do what’s best for this state by listening to the experts and not some washed up doctor who is not an expert in anything but kissing trump’s ass….god, I can’t wait for these assholes to be gone…

Good news from Michigan…
Well….how about we dispense with politics for a minute and talk about something else that is really important to the people of Michigan? Yesterday, governor Whitmer revoked the easement for Enbridge’s line 5 oil pipeline that runs under the Straits of Mackinac and that means that it must be shut down in 180 days…and that is good news for us here since the majority of our drinking water comes from Lake Michigan and Lake Huron and any oil spill in the straits would pollute both lakes and crash our economy. A couple of years ago, we came so close to that spill when a barge dragged it’s anchor across the dual pipelines and it was only by luck that the lines were only dented and not ruptured but how much luck can we count on with pipelines that were installed the year I was born…and I’m really old? Now Embridge has proposed digging a tunnel lined with concrete to put the lines in but why? It’s the reason why there is no offshore oil drilling allowed in the Great Lakes…that any spill would cause damage that the lakes may never recover from and the economic disruption would be catastrophic to the people of Michigan…and all so an oil company who is responsible for the worst oil spill in Michigan history can continue to rake in profits while they put the state at risk? I applaud Governor Whitmer’s tough stance to protect the environment and the people of Michigan…and now we have a dem controlled supreme court that will follow the law and protect Michigan from business that doesn’t give a damn about anything but profit…
Thank you, Detroit….
Well…all of the news outlets just called Michigan for Joe and we have Detroit to thank for that….as the ballots from this side of the state and the rural areas came in first, the idiot trump was ahead…but, that started to change early this afternoon when Detroit’s ballots were being counted and Joe went into the lead…and to show you how stupid trump and his cronies are, they sent their brownshirt fascist disrupters into the ballot counting rooms in Detroit to stop the count but they didn’t do it until Joe was in the lead…so if they had been successful in stopping it, which they weren’t, Joe still would have won the state….so that puts Joe’s EV count at 253 as the counts go on in a few states and he leads in PA NV, and AZ…so, we should know tomorrow since they have stopped counting for the day in PA but will start up again at 10 tomorrow morning …so far it looks good for Joe and Kamala…I’m still keeping my fingers crossed…
Just noticed something…
Well…being a registered voter with a correct address, I get loads and loads of mailers from candidates in this election season…one thing I’ve just noticed in the blood red area of Kent country that I live in…for now…is that very few of the repub candidates even mention their party on any of the materials I’ve been getting…I mean, in this area? I wonder if it because they just assume that everyone here is repub and they don’t have to mention it, or is it that the idiot trump has made being a repub and a supporter of his so toxic they don’t want anyone to know? What could be bad about supporting a rotting ball of hate and lies? Luckily, they have to have their political affiliation on the ballot so there is no hiding there…and with the court ruling that put straight ticket voting back in play, they have to eat their party of trump and their wholehearted support for idiot boy…don’t think there will be much ticket splitting this year…
trump…stay the hell out of our state…
Well…if you are a Michigander, you should be as pissed as I am to have the asshole trump coming into our state and inciting violence against our governor…at another one of his fascist rallies here, he went into his schtick about how bad she is and led the crowd of deplorables in the tired old “lock her up” chant with no recognition that this bullshit inspired an actual kidnapping and murder plot against her…and you know he just doesn’t care at all…just as long as he gets his jollies from his crowd and works them into a frenzy as he manipulates them in the last bastion of support he has…nothing else matters to him. All I have to say to this asshole is stay the hell out of our state…you’ve done nothing for us in the past 4 years and you are responsible for thousands of deaths here that could have been prevented if you weren’t the incompetent moron that you are…just keep your promise and don’t ever come back…
Look who’s “pallin around with terrorists”
Well…if his pledge to destroy Obamacare and confirm many more unqualified right wing judges wasn’t enough for you to not vote for John James…this one should do it. Just today, it was reported that some of the terrorists who were caught plotting to kidnap and murder governor Whitmer had worked at James rallies along with the right wing terrorist organization proud boys…yep, you heard that right…John James has been “pallin’ around with terrorists” as he has worked to get the support of the hate filled far right here in Michigan. That right there should be enough for anyone who is still “on the fence” in this election…no matter that James issued the lame defense that he didn’t know they were there and that was it…no full throated denouncement of these right wing hate groups because he knows he needs them to get elected…just like the rest of the repub party, James likes these guys and has no problem with them plotting and scheming to undermine our state and country…after all, that is the operating principle of the repub party that is on display in the US senate today with the Barrett hearings….James is just more of same…
Got my ballot…
Well…in a nice surprise, my ballot for the November election came in the mail yesterday….I am a little excited about getting it filled out and dropped back off but I’m not sure where yet…there are drop boxes right over on Leonard but with the assholes that infest the repub party these days, I wouldn’t put it past them to pour gasoline in the boxes to make sure the ballots can’t be counted. So, I think I may just take a ride downtown and drop it off at the city clerks office in person so no one can screw with it. Okay…that may be hyperbole..a little…look, you have heard me plead with people to get out to vote…and with how easy Michigan has made it with dems in control of the SOS’s office, there really isn’t any reason to not vote…and if you’re here reading this…you probably hate the idiot trump with the white hot passion that I do, and there is still time to get an absentee ballot if you don’t want to vote in person…but damn, you need to vote…just in this election…just this one…this one will determine the fate of this country and everyone should do what they can to save it….and that is NOT hyperbole…please vote….
trump knew and, of course, he lied…
Well….why isn’t trump in jail right now? With the revelations from the Woodward book and tapes that he knew how dangerous the virus is and still went out every damn day for months telling people it would just “go away” and basically stopped doing anything to keep people safe, isn’t this a crime? 200,000 people dead and estimates that another 200,000 could die before the end of the year and there are still no consequences for the idiot boy….he’s still flying around the country putting on his superspreader rallies where no one wears a mask and they are jammed in should to shoulder…just last night he brought that bullshit to Michigan and in two weeks we’ll see a huge spike in cases that will keep our state partially closed for months more just so the idiot in chief can get his jollies from his spittle flecked lie fests…and I am damn tired of it…I want our state to continue to get back to normal but this event means that there will be no pool shooting until next year….and this “rally” was illegal but when did illegality mean anything to any repub? I’m just so damn tired of trump and his asshole followers shitting all over this country…people, please get out and vote…they all need to be gone…
Texans have to be the dumbest people on earth…
Well….sitting here watching the nascar race from Texas and I am just shaking my head at the stupidity of the people they let in to the race today…after a big wreck, the race was red flagged and the cars stopped along the front straight…so, in a state with the second worse coronavirus outbreak that is happening right damn now, these morons all flocked down to the fence in a crowd of a couple of hundred people standing shoulder to shoulder with no a mask on any of them…not one damn mask in any shot that I’ve seen all day…so, you can guess where the next big outbreak is going to be….and the announcers I’m sure have been told to not mention it…just go on and on about how great it is to have fans back at the track…not that there is a pandemic raging through texas that is killing hundreds of people every day…nope, nothing about that…just happy talk about how they can’t wait to have more disease spreaders at the races and it’s a shame that they didn’t let more in today…Governor Whitmer, these morons are coming to Michigan soon, please don’t let them spread the virus more here by letting them have unmasked fans at the track…it just isn’t worth it to put the whole state at risk…or better yet, no fans at the track at all….it’s just not worth it…
Just don’t want to talk about idiot boy….
Well….I do want to do a political one today but I don’t want to talk about the idiot boy…so, I won’t….I do want to talk about other things…like our governor here in Michigan who I think is doing a great job during this crisis…but I have one little bitch about coverage of the gradual re-opening of businesses here that starts today….the media always pairs it with the moronic protests that the rw assholes have been doing here and that needs to stop since every damn one of them imply that it is the protests that started the opening process and not the measured, logical response of Governor Whitmer….who is just doing what she said she was going to do when the science allowed it…and not because some yahoos carrying confederate flags and trump posters forced her to….so media…stop that crap…I know headlines like those are clickbait to goose traffic to your sites but attacking a woman to make her look weak when she is doing her difficult job well is just the worst kind of misogyny and wouldn’t happen if she were a man….cripes it’s 2020…not 1920….
