Well… as we watch repubs forcing their states to open across the US against the advice of the experts and every damn doctor other than Scott Atlas, we now have the repubs here in Michigan killing kids with their bullshit threatening of governor Whitmer that forced her to allow high school sports and schools to reopen with the the obvious effect…obvious to everyone but the stupid damn repubs that control the legislature….so now, we have the highest rate of new cases of the B 1.17 variant of the virus that is 20 times more infectious and causes serious cases in young people that could harm them for the rest of their lives…but the repubs still scream “freedumb” and want even more restrictions lifted as Whitmer pleads with people to keep up the mask wearing and to have them stay away from indoor dining or bars, etc. where the virus is known to spread. The repub head of the MHSAA (the Michigan High School Athletic Assoc.) has even come out and said that they are going to continue to hold tournaments and spring sports even with the wildfire spread of the virus in high school athletes. Look, I understand that people are getting restriction weary but this stupidity by Michigan repubs is going to make the year we have lived in isolation not worth a damn thing as they gleefully kill more and more of our friends an neighbors…and now they come after the children and feel no remorse at all…monsters, all of them….

The DeVos family buy themselves a legislature…
Well…are you as damned tired of the DeVos family buying themselves laws here in Michigan as I am? Their latest interference in the basic operation of Michigan’s government came during the reform of the Detroit Public Schools that was working it’s way through the legislature in the spring, and included reform of the charter school laws that let basically any idiot start a school with no oversight. But, no, making the schools better by holding them responsible for outcomes is not part of these idiots ultra right wing, free market delusions…so, they did what they always do…they spread almost 2 million dollars around to the repubs through their charter school lobbying firm and poof, that pesky oversight was gone from the law…basically guaranteeing that the 50% of kids in Detroit who are enrolled in charter schools will get substandard educations…but, do they care? Hell no, as long as their cronies who run these for-profit schools get their cut of the tax money that supports them. Just another example where the repubs think that government is a tool to be used to push their agendas or to transfer more money from the taxpayers to the 1%…..I just hate the rich these days…they won’t even allow us to TRY to make things better for the majority….they can all go to hell….
Spending our tax dollars for ideology…
Well…with the repubs in control here in Michigan, you can continue to expect that they will put their ideology ahead of jobs or roads or anything else the state needs…and the latest is the three new anti abortion laws that were just introduced that would make abortion illegal if you can hear a fetal heartbeat….just another attempt to take control of women’s bodies away from them…and one that is clearly unconstitutional when you read Roe v. Wade and the recent court decisions that have struck down these exact bills in other states…but, that won’t stop the repubs here from passing these bills and then paying for prolonged court fights with yours and my tax dollars. What the hell is wrong with these people? Are they just too stupid to read that the courts will never allow these bills to take effect? Or, are they just blinded by ideology and can’t help themselves? The one thing I can’t understand is why any woman would vote for these pricks…geez…
