Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) dug in her heels on Friday on her stay-at-home order that has sparked protests from right-wingers in her state.
This is one tough lady, and Michigan is lucky to have her at the helm.
Waving stars and bars in Michigan. No racism implied.
ETA. Nice touch Betsy. Or was it Eric’s idea.
Great phrase that is simple, effective and bumper sticker worthy.
To paraphrase the late great John Prine “You’re lack of sacrifice during the Coronavirus lockdown won’t get to heaven anymore”.
With regard to opening the state far too early: MAGA - Michiganders Ain’t Gonna Agree
This moran forgot to use spell check.
Well, I guess some folks insist they have the inherent right to die from a preventable disease and they have the right to infect others. I reserve the right to keep them 6 feet off my property.
Oh snap! Good one!
Our governor is one tough and smart cookie. Now we need a legislature that reflects her ideas and values. November can’t come soon enough!
Clueless racists live everywhere. Nuance not usually a strength.
“You know, I can take it. If it makes people feel better to take their frustrations out on me, that’s fine,” she told “Good Morning America” anchor George Stephanopoulos.
That’s what leaders do. Remember when Donnie said that? Neither do I. (I also keep thinking back to when Obama would say that he was willing to be a one-term President if he needed to do that to pass the Affordable Care Act? Remember when Donnie said that something–anything–was worth that? Neither do I.)
You can always spot the Dixiecrats with their misspelled signs.
Even though it would mean two white folks on the ticket, Biden should seriously consider her for VP. If she’d take it.
So if you put up a sign “Warning: Bridge Out” or “Danger: High Voltage,” if you put up a roadblock or a cyclone fence for emphasis, you’re Hitler. Makes sense.
Right wingers somehow miraculously immune to disease ,common sense and respect for their fellow citizens, not sure what stars and bars has to do with anything ever…
Can’t even draw a “decent” Nazi swastika. Arms and handedness are wrong. Keep trying jackass.
OT, but something to sooth our souls a little in the midst of madness? 2nd Movement of Bach’s Double Violin Concerto from Brooklyn, Tessa Lark playing with the Jacobsen brothers of The Knights, perhaps the loveliest classical musical ensemble in the US today.
In a more normal election year-- Gov Whitmer might not be on the radar.
In this abnormal COVID-19 pandemic-- that could last a year-- her most important role is managing Michigan.
The country is fortunate to have so many smart and charismatic state leaders. One or more of them are gaining cred necessary to step onto the national stage in 4 years.
Kudos to Gov. Whitmer…
It’s better to be six feet apart right now than six feet under,”
But NOT for the Trumpers…
Cruella DeVos’ group organized OperationGridlock to get their Rabid-MAGAts to intimidate Gov. Whitmer AND in conjunction with their Dear Orange Leader with his ReOpen America now. However, in so doing they have blocked medical services like ambulances on the way to the hospital!
So be careful Gov. Whitmer…
The rabid MAGAts had been MAGA bombers
And their Dear Orange Leader is not averse to stochastic terrorism
And some MAGAts/Greed-Over-People Party people won’t hesitate to “Own the Libs”!
Addendum:
Trump has a series of tweets that goes…
Liberate Michigan…MN…Virginia and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!..
Trump is stirring public unrest (the American public whom he said loves him in yesterday’s OperationGridlock) amidst a pandemic!
