Do as I say and not as I do. Or, the peasants must do as I say but I am an elitist and do not have to follow the same rules.

The boat is still on the Michigan shore. He asked they refused. He’s ok by theIr decision.

Friggin trump won’t even wear a mask. Get over this.

The only reason FOX reported this was because the Mich gov. is a dem. Pffft the trump era.

That's A reason, but not THE reason. I think the main reason is that it highlights hypocrisy as it's happening.

... or, you know... 'cause Trump.

I understand you like having a ruling class giving you one set of Draconian rules and them enjoying another much more relaxed set. I respect your opinion and your right to want to be taken care of and protected from yourself. I just do not agree with Government officials ruling my life.

Are you aware that the ruling class are the republicans?

You don't get out much do you? The Republicans want less government control of your life. That means your freedom. The Democrats want to control all aspects of your life. Equals less freedom. See Michigan as an example of what a small taste of socialism now looks like.

IMO, you're just as wrong as he is.

In many ways (including this topic) there's really no significant difference between Repub and Dem. Republicans say they want less govt, but in practice they're all about big govt as much as Democrats.

I stand with Big Gretch and her buffs.

At least republicans aren't advocating for illegal immigration, more social programs for them, and Obamacare. Dems are also for globalist policies that capitulate to China. This includes Biden so yup.

I see your location says CA though so hmmmmmmm.

1. And what does my location have anything to do with it?

2. I'm originally from Cleveland, moved to CA because that's where my job offer came from, and just moved back to Cinci almost 2 years ago.

No, Republicans aren't advocating for those things. They advocate for other things that fall under 'big govt' and can spend like idiots just like the dems.

The right wing always promoted global trade until trump came along. They wanted cheap labor and the freedom for business to get around any regulations by moving business of shore.

You act as though government is only here to protect business while allowing business to crap on people.

Genuinely curious ... what would those things be?

Democrat State Rep Sues Gretchen Whitmer over Censure After Thanking President Trump

Kyle Olson

26 May 2020


Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett (D-Detroit) has filed a federal lawsuit against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) after the Democrat Party censured Whitsett over praising President Trump.

The 13th Congressional District Democrat Party committee passed a resolution in April reprimanding Whitsett for being critical of Whitmer and appearing alongside Trump at the White House.

The suit accuses Whitmer and the Democrats of “violations of free speech and defamation,” MLive reported.

Whitsett visited the White House earlier this month to thank Trump.

“Thank you for everything that you have done,” Whitsett told Trump.

“I didn’t know that saying thank you had a political line,” she said. “I thought just saying thank you meant thank you.”

According to the suit, Whitmer texted Whitsett after the White House meeting and said, “You’re entitled to your opinion, I’m just disappointed you’d take your theories public without seeking to get answers first. Take care.”

The resolution read in part, according to Gongwer:

State Representative Karen Whitsett has repeatedly and publicly praised the president’s delayed and misguided COVID-19 response efforts in contradiction with the scientifically based and action-oriented response from Michigan’s duly election Democratic leadership … endangering the health, safety and welfare of her constituents, the city of Detroit, and the state of Michigan.

Whitsett alleged the resolution was brought up at Whitmer’s “prompting,” according to MLive.

“Folks in the 13th were complaining about why is she attacking, why can’t she just sit down, she’s always acting like a fool up their in Lansing,” 13th District Democrat Party Chairman Jonathan Kinloch told Breitbart News in April.

MLive reported:

The suit accuses Whitmer of being aware of a conspiracy to publicly shame, defame and humiliate Whitsett. Whitmer did not try to stop the scheme and actually prompted it, making her liable for damages, the lawsuit claims.

The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of money for damages, reimbursement for all court fees, lawyers fees and other costs related to the case and any further relief the court deems appropriate.

Oh boy! Another hot scoop from Breitbart! Can't wait to dig into this one...

triggered agin. Back to the subject ....if this was trump’s boat it be in the water tooling around with a bunch of tools in it.

For starters, look at spending. Depending on how you look at it, Republicans are either neck-and-neck with Dems or far worse in terms of adding to the deficit. They fought Obama to increase the debt ceiling, but then fought FOR it when Trump was in office. They only advocate for fiscal restraint when a Dem is in office, but during the Bush and Trump years they've never met an issue they didn't want to spend their way out of.

Off the top of my head, they seem to like to spend on tax breaks, corporate welfare, and the military. Bank bailouts occured under Republicans watch (signed by Bush, though Obama supported it as well).

And before people start throwing a hissy-fit... I think the military should be funded to accomplish their mission. They shouldn't be strapped for cash. But there's a big difference between that and routinely being given a blank check. The US does the latter.

This has always been baffling to me. We spend more on military spending than the next 10 countries in the world COMBINED.

I fully agree that we should spend to the point that we are the best equipped, but it has been proved over and over that we spend on pointless things, which happens at all levels of government as well. There is simply no reason for the spending we have on the military, among many other things.

It's you thats stuck in the dark my friend.

Who controls everything? Republicans

And please excuse me for wanting my government to make sure we have clean air, Clean water, Clean Environment etc etc..

Republicans don't give a damn about you or your children or grand children...

They only care about Corporate Profits... They also care about who owns them.

OH,, How about those wonderful Republicans that hate Deficits? What the hell happened to them

This group of windbags think it's perfectly ok to give the 1% a HUGE tax break, but then turn around and tell us that we can't afford to make sure people have healthcare!

Like I said, Republicans ARE the Ruling Classless!

And you think the dem's DO care? Or, is it the dem's want the power? You think the dem's will save the world? What did they do in the past to save the world?

I saw a post, at a different place, and I agree with it: The true investigations of politicians ought to start with congress, find out how, why, etc. people that were hundred thousandaires become millionaires after only a few years.

Dem, republican - all of them are bought and paid for.

Killed Bin Laden that Bush couldn’t seem to do. Gave us lower gas prices and healthcare for all. And laid the ground work for our economy out of the Great Recession

What has trump done? Oh just helped kill 100,000+ American‘s by leaving the back door open and ushered a deadly virus right in to NYC from Europe. pffft trump

You are perhaps the most biased person on here. I really question - eh, nevermind.

That's the first thing that always comes up by Trump supporters when they don't have a rebuttal... Hey, All Politicians are bad. LOL

But, to be fair, I think the only one that wasn't on the take was Bernie...the rest, who knows.

Republicans can no longer say they are the party of Balanced Budgets.. They are no longer the fiscal conservatives they've claimed to be... They are basically abandoning all their prime principles.. Even the one where they want government out of our lives..

You want proof of that last one don't you,,, Look no further than Trumps words when he talks about shutting down Twitter.. That is.... Wait for it!

GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE

I know, I know, the poor wittle repulicans are hurt because they feel as if Trumpybear is not allowed to speak his mind.

Yeah, he's done it now for years... He lied before, he's lying now and he'll continue to lie and mislead people using Twitter and whatever social media he wants..

UNLESS, Twitter and Facebook start to treat him like they treat the rest of us.

Your hatred and uninformed diatribes place you equal to perfectpass.

It may not be just hate ... Forrest Gump has a higher IQ ..

Whats your answer to the horror that is Trump?....Biden, Crazy Bernie, Pocahonas, the Black woman from Atlanta. I guess I'll hold my nose and vote for Trump again. Where's JFK when you guys need him.

Gas prices are lower now than they've ever been... Trump gave us lower gas prices! Go Trump!

Exactly, the Democrats have no answer. They haven't had a viable candidate for over 8 years. Their platform ideas DO NOT sell with the American people and that's why their party is in big trouble.

If you vote for trump you ain’t human.

Gas was down to $1.06 here in Ohio few weeks ago. So does that mean Trump gets credit for that?

Joe Biden is that you?

Yep he does, under his watch. and it’s going to be hard to top his record of 100,000 dead American’s and 40mil on the unemployment roles under his watch. Obamacare Saving lives...>....trumpcare killing us off.

Are you human?

Trump handled this like crap from the start. He is still screwing things up when it comes to the virus. I won't disagree with you at all there. Our entire government has also made mistakes, as well as most state governors. Your laying all the blame at his feet is both assinine, and ignorant. But of course you already know that.

No I'm a bot.

In 2016, almost three million more Americans voted Democrat than voted Republican in the presidential race. And nobody liked Hillary. In 2018 they retook the majority in the house of representatives

All of you need to stop pretending that "Americans" didn't vote Democrat in 2016 because they did.

https://brilliantmaps.com/2016-county-election-map/

The USA looks pretty red to me!!!

In 2016 they lost the house and didn’t take back the senate and lost the presidency ... yup .... Americans voted democratic in 2016 not just in the national elections ... *LOL* ...

In 2016 they were an O-FER in the national election ... THEY LOST EVERYTHING ... but that one way u street u share with ocd and 888 only allows u to offer facts and misinformation that fit your narrative ... what does the dems regaining the house in 2018 have to do with 2016 ... there’s that 0 + 0 being complex math rearing its ugly head yet again ... ...

Your claim was " Their platform ideas DO NOT sell with the American people".

When I pointed out that the "majority of people" voted Democrat in 2016 and 2018 you come up with a map that has nothing to do with that.

You can use a map all you like. But next time, try to use the number of actual voters. I mean unless you're conceding that you were wrong. Which you clearly are.
