Is lying all they do?

Well…this makes me laugh…if you remember, the “mastermind” behind the fake elector scheme, kenneth chesebro, told investigators in Michigan and elsewhere that he didn’t have any hidden social media accounts many, many times and said he gave investigators all the information he had…but, guess what? He was lying to the Michigan investigators and everyone else since it was revealed today that he had secret twitter accounts that he use to coordinate the scheme…and for every time he lied about it is a count of perjury here in Michigan…and every one of those counts is a felony that he can go to jail for 10 years for…this is the lack of respect that all repubs have for the law…they want it enforced strictly for everyone else but they thing they can ignore it for them…so, What’s it going to be Nessel? He needs to be charged with perjury today and locked up until the trial…get after it…geez…

This is what happens when dems run the place…

Well…as you probably already know, after fair districts were drawn here in Michigan and enshrined in the constitution, the dems took charge of the entire state government while the repubs just sat there and sulked since they couldn’t cheat anymore…and what did this control do for the people of Michigan? The latest good thing is that our governor Whitmer just signed a bill into law that will make all of the electricity generated here from renewable sources by the year 2040…no more coal or gas plants so Michigan will be doing it’s part to combat the climate damage done by dirty fuels…and entire state on renewables? I can’t wait to see the plan and I wonder if they will have subsidies for people to install solar? Man, I’d love to do that but just don’t have the finances for it…just another example where elections have consequences…so go out and vote….

Dems in charge…

Well…I think this might have flown under the radar after the announcement was put out a couple of days ago that legislation has been passed by the dems here in Michigan to go completely renewable for electricity generation by 2040…no more coal, oil, or gas and if the repubs were still in charge, we would still be building coal fired power plants even though they cost more than any renewable energy…it would just be a payoff to their big donors who pollute the state. This is what happens when you put intelligent people in charge of the government…no culture wars or other bullshit…just good legislation that benefits us all…okay, dems…now do taxing the rich and let’s fund our schools and take care of those here in Michigan who need help…geez…

The hammer comes down in Michigan…

Well…across this country, the idiot trump’s minions tried to seize and break into voting machines to try to find evidence of “voter fraud” that would “prove” the election had been stolen…and there were lots of people involved in the swing states like Georgia and Michigan…and today, following the indictments of the fake electors a couple of weeks ago here, the first of the people who tried to steal and break into voting machines was indicted…Stephanie Lambert, one of trump’s cronies, was indicted for her part in the scheme that included almost all of the higher ups in the repub party here in Michigan…so she is just the first of many who will feel the weight of a justice system doing what it is supposed to do…bring criminals to justice and these criminals are the wort kind, those who would try to destroy this country just to protect the worst person in the world and their own person power…man, I can’t wait to see who is on the indictment list…probably the head of the party and some legislators, too…get the popcorn ready….

Elections matter, folks…

Well…I still seeing the bullshit all over the internet on the sites that I visit that “both parties are the same”, or “my vote doesn’t matter”….and I wonder if people haven’t looked at the miracle of Michigan where voters put in place the non-partisan election district committee who drew much fairer districts here…and those districts gave the dems total control of the Michigan government for the first time since the 1980′s…and you know what they didn’t do with that control? Tax cuts for the rich and corporations…how about two meals a day for every schoolchild? How about the passing of the initiative that enshrined women’s rights in the state constitution…and protections for the LGBTQ community? That wouldn’t have happened without the dems dragging their butts out  off the comfy couch or filling in their ballots and mailing them in….both now protected because we dems turned out and voted to make it easier to participate in our government while every red state voted to make it hard for minorities and college students to vote….so don’t give that crap…voters turning out gave control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to the liberals in the state where it will now serve as a check on the repub controlled legislature…so don’t make excuses…vote!

Way to go, Michigan voters…

Well…I marvel at what has happened here in Michigan since we elected a dem administration across the board here…just yesterday our AG Dana Nessel announced indictments of all of the people who signed on as fake electors as part of the idiot trump’s scheme…and boy are these folks going to pay…every one of them has been charged with multiple 14 year felonies and a couple of 5 year felonies just for good measure…so what that means is that when they are convicted…and they will be…they have the possibility of never getting out of jail and that is exactly what these traitors deserve….this is what happens to everyone who has anything to do with idiot boy and you would think that at least some of them would have figured that out and bailed instead of doubling down…but no, these are not the brightest people if they thought trump was a worthwhile person to follow…now we just need every other AG in every state they pulled this crap to do the same to make sure everyone in this country knows there is a price to be paid for being a traitor….geez…

It’s just refreshing…

Well…I really do need to thank the people behind the ballot initiative that took plotting of the voting districts out of the hands of politicians so the repubs couldn’t gerrymander and cheat to keep control of the government here in Michigan…now, if I’m honest, the dems did it, too but not anywhere to the extent of the repubs…and the follow on for that was, with fair districts, the dems took control of all parts of Michigan government for the first time in 40 years…and the result of that is we have a government that works for the people again…not for the crazy right wing assholes that were running it before…you know the ones, who would have made 50+% of the people in Michigan second class citizens by taking away the control of their bodies…and do you know why there haven’t been any anti trans legislation here? Because the dems control the government…in fact, they have expanded discrimination protection to all LGBTQ people in this state…and have passed sensible gun control legislation that mandates background checks for all gun sales…it is just refreshing that we now have a government that is not run by a small group of right wing assholes….let’s keep it up, Michigan…

Finally…sensible gun laws come to Michigan..

Well…as I’ve hammered home since I started this site, elections have consequences and we are seeing that right now with the slate of sensible gun control laws that the dems are going to pass this week. They start with having to register for any firearm purchase, closing down the gun show loophole that puts guns int he hands of people who shouldn’t have them…and make every sale subject to a background check…sets up a “red flag” law which would allow family members to petition courts to remove guns from unstable people…another part would enhance storage safety by asking gun owners to lock their guns up and keep them unloaded…you get the point…all of these measures are popular with everyone except the gun lobby and were promised in the 2022 election so the dems are carrying through…things that would never have happened if the repubs were still running the state…geez…

Elections matter here in Michigan…

Well…this is what happens when you put dems in control of the entire state of Michigan for the first time in decades…just yesterday the House voted to expand the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act to cover sexual orientation and gender identity…also Wednesday, the house labor committee advanced bills to repeal the “right to work” that the repubs passed to attack unions and working people in this state…and Tuesday, Governor Whitmer signed a bill that extended the Earned Income Tax Credit which will put more money in the hands of the working poor…another program that the repubs slashed when they controlled the state…and now the dems are moving onto the popular gun control measures like background checks, red flag laws, and a safe storage law that ensures that people will have to keep their guns locked up when not in use. None of this would have happened if the repubs conrolled any part of the government here…and it all goes back the voters taking the drawing of districts out of the hands of politicians so the repubs couldn’t gerrymander the state and cheat in elections…there is real progress going on here in Michigan…and we all have the dems to thank for it….

This is what a blue state looks like…

Well…after the 2022 election and the blue takeover of our state, I had high hopes that we could return to normal and stop the repub bullshit that had polluted our political air here…and I was so happy that we have tough, capable women who live in the real world running the show here….and what you know you’ll never hear from any of them? Attacks on the LGBT community  or teachers…read this quote from Dayna Polehanki, the Education Committee Chair: “At this stop, we will not participate in the demonization of teachers or LGBTQ students, and we will not give credence to fake scandals or conspiracy theories. Let me be clear that those days are over for the next four years while I hold this gavel.” Notice that she covered all of the things that repubs would be doing if they would have taken control and that we see in every damn red state…so thank you Michigan voters for turning out and voting for sanity and making Michigan a better place to live…
