The protesters deserve that dim-witted governor.

The state of Michigan brings down the collective IQ of the US
@JoeyFoxx That is harsh and a few dim witted right wing nuts don't represent the state as a whole. And given the circumstances the governor is doing pretty well I would say.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Try buying a can of paint or a bag of seeds.
@sunsporter1649 So the pandemic response in Michigan sucks because you can't go shopping?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Explain to me how purchasing a can of paint to spruce up a house is doing anything to alleviate the effects of the kung flu?
@sunsporter1649 You are the one who thinks a can of paint is relevant not me. Not everyone can follow your fever delusions.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The folks in Michigan are prohibited from going to their summer homes, but out of staters are welcome? WTF?
@sunsporter1649 You can control who comes in the state. But apparently the people of Michigan should be free to spread disease across the entire state.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Just how are you going to control who comes into the State full of disease? Build a wall?
@sunsporter1649 You are going to seriously argue states have no control over their own territory? That is a stretch.

@sunsporter1649 Funny. Canadian provinces with less people, less money and less autonomy have figured it out. I think there are some smart people in Michigan who can figure out basic access control.

@sunsporter1649 I see your brain crashed again.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow As usual, no program, just crickets
@sunsporter1649 You need someone to reboot you?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow “given the circumstances “

We could all make that excuse for all the governors and the President.

Good leaders show their true colors when times get tough.

There are extremists on both sides no matter where you go. One of the thing a good leader does is learn how not to provoke them.

Whitmer isn’t very bright and she’s the worst kind of blind-sided politician who assumes that every Conservative must be a douche. Hence her attack on the DeVos family.

She really isn’t any better than the President.
@JoeyFoxx False equivalence.

And you seem to have a personal grudge. Decisions are not made in a vacuum. And ironically your point about leadership cuts both ways. The governors should have been able to expect leadership from the president and probably many plans in many states were formulated with that in mind. Reinventing the wheel yourself when you realize the oval office is functionally empty can't be easy. Seems like you are getting bent out of shape because of inconvenience. Nothing she has done is inconsistent with anywhere else that took this seriously. So this dictator bs is ridiculous as is the Trump comparison. Especially when we know she has been actively sabotaged by the Trump administration.
@JoeyFoxx Frankly if Conservatives don't want to be treated like douches stop acting like one. And I can't think of any reason the Devos family has to complain. Sounds like Trump whining about being picked on. If Devos wants to flush Michigan's education system down the toilet expect backlash.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow grudge? No grudge.

I would have expected her to learn from the other Governors who proved how unprepared the White House was. Fact is, she didn’t.

The steps in her plan are quite literally the most extreme taken by any state. She could have and should have been a bit less aggressive to prevent civil unrest.

It’s quite simple. She and The President are equally incompetent.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow not talking about the Education Secretary. I’m talking about her family and what the governor said about them.

Though it sounds like you are a rabid Democrat , which makes you no better than a rabid Republican
@JoeyFoxx Funny you can't cite any examples. And considering many states are treating this like a joke it might not be a bad thing even if you are right.


Actually quite the opposite. Michigan along with NY are taking steps to basically render the feds largely irrelevant.

But I am sure she can use another armchair general.

And I am sorry you feel this need to personally smear her by trying to force a comparison to Trump.

She also has extra considerations being a border state.
@JoeyFoxx It is about education if you bothered to read up on what happened and care about context. Lol says the one who sounds like a Trump apologist.
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow yeah. You got me. I’m a Trump apologist.

Hey @Budwick!!! Look! I’m a Trump apologist!
