We don’t need another rich guy in congress…

Well….thought I’d talk about some local politics today instead of the idiot trump and his bullshit…so, there is a contest going on here in West Michigan for the house seat the Justin Amash vacated when he decided to not run for re-election…and the contest is between the dem, Hillary Scholten and Pete Meijer..the trust fund baby who, of course, is part of the Meijer family that everyone here in Michigan knows. Look, the last person we need to represent us is another rich guy trying to buy his way into congress…just like the DeVos and Van Andel families, the Meijer family has outsized influence in our community that is for the most part helpful, but I think they should just stay the hell out of politics…especially Pete since he has a reported trust fund that is over 60 million dollars and has never had to work a day in his life…and you just need to look at who has endorsed him to see what he would be like in congress…Michigan right to life, the NRA, and he is a second amendment nut, and a full throated supporter of trump and his cronies…so just another entitled asshole who will do more damage to this country and West Michigan by supporting more tax cuts for the rich, like him, and believes in more guns everywhere along with government control of women’s bodies…haven’t we had enough of this repub bullshit? Vote for Hillary Scholten and we’ll get someone who cares about the people she represents while we are just a means to an end for Pete…rich people don’t give a damn about regular people…the repubs show that every day…vote…
