She’s a pistol, this one. I’ve fallen in love – just like everybody else, I guess, but man she does us proud.

Has he already withheld an emergency declaration and related funding for the flood? THAT is the question.

He and the GOP and Faux News will be claiming MI doesnt deserve a “bailout” for its liberal mismanagement of the dams…in 3…2…1…

Governor, please remain announcing VERY publicly what your positions are about his masking, the threats to without federal funding, and especially if he starts hurling his “nasty” little names. Keep repeating Michigan’s stance, rinse, repeat…

Kudos to Michigan’s Governor, Attorney General and Secretary of State. All strong women who probably make the President cringe…and deservedly so. They are not intimidated by his antics and threats.

Same here. She’d be a great VP choice.

It’s not at all ridiculous. It’s a dumb-ass funding threat.

Lawsuit. File a lawsuit. Go into Court, filed for an injection. Trump’s threat is illegal, and his twitter feed has been said by DOJ to state official policy. Blocking the threat of an illegal acts is something that Court’s do every day.

Would all the women who stand up Trump come together and sing “I Am Woman”,
Maybe a slight rewrite using Trump’s name.

There’s no hidden meaning, signs or portents, in this utterance, for QAnon followers to cogitate on. He’s scatterbrained. How we use language is a reflection of how we think. He’s unfit and unwell.

It’s almost like he’s trying to say, “kidding on the square,” but lacks the intellect to even conger the concept.

Yes. Even if, for the sake of argument, we say he was attempting humor, it’s so completely garbled that it’s still a reflection of mental ineptness.

She’s reminding me more and more of Nancy. She really is smart, knows Michigan politics and honestly wants to make this a better state. She doesn’t have time for the crap that moron throws out.
