Don’t negotiate with terrorists….

Well…with Michigan now the laughingstock of the country after the bully boys with their guns tried to get to the floor of house here yesterday, the only piece of advice I have for our governor is “don’t negotiate with terrorists”. Let’s be blunt…this storming of our state house is the definition of terrorism…”the use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims…”…can anyone say that having a bunch of screaming, armed, white men trying to get into your work place to force the “opening” of the state is not intimidation for political purposes? Then you have the idiot in chief weighing in yesterday with the idea that Whitmer should negotiate with these terrorists to make them go away….making these protests overtly political and no different that any other act of terroism on our soil…I mean, what’s next? Shooting some people to get their way? and the way that the cops reacted to these assholes was just as sick…laughing and joking with them as they tried to harm the people and buildings that are sworn to protect…I wonder what would have happened if these weren’t white, right wing thugs? Substitute black or Muslim and you’ll have your answer…we’d be mourning the dead and wondering how we got there.  I just don’t think our governor should yield one iota to these crybaby assholes…after all, she has a plan based on science and experts and I’m sure that there is not one expert on pandemics in that mob yesterday….

Domestic terrorists….

Well…have been sitting here thinking today…and no it doesn’t hurt…about the domestic terrorists that now control our government. Yeah, that’s how I feel about the repubs these days…with the latest attempt to rip health insurance from almost 30 million of their fellow Americans, what else can you call them? I have spent some time reading the stories of people whose lives were immeasurably changed by Obamacare….no longer wondering where the money is going to come from to keep them alive in some cases….I just read about a woman whose 12 year old daughter has type 1 diabetes and is cared for by Medicaid….a program that is the primary target of the blank eyed granny starver Paul Ryan…and without it, this 12 year old’s life will be one of poor health and no future. Now, there are almost 20 million people who get their insurance through the Obamacare exchanges and whose lives are disrupted by stress and fear every time the repubs try to kill the ACA….isn’t this the definition of terrorism? It’s the repubs doing it folks….and that makes it domestic terrorism…impeach…
