After today's protests in Lansing, there is only one thing left to do.

Mods, please merge the Oh, Florida and Oh, Michigan threads. No meaningful difference between the two states.

Don't violate my rights Turtleneck

Sorry you can't spend all day on your boat listening to Kid Rock.

You are crossing the line

Guy from Howell who is running for Congress poses with white supremacist crowd giving the white power saloon.

I guess the car in the background is from a pretty bad racist southern group.

Detmer says he gathered a dozen or so people together for a photo before they set off for the event from Howell. In the background, a nearby truck beared a sign that read "Proud Boys," a Southern Poverty Law Center-designated hate group known for its anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric.

Racists in Howell? Say it ain’t so!

Doesn't take much here.  Just ask Heat

Just such a stupid event. You can disagree with the Governor, that's fine. You can worship the President, which is not fine, but is your right. But now is/was not the time to voice your displeasure with her orders. It's a shame that everyone can't be level headed and agree on that. Super frustrating. I'm so sick of the partisan bullshit in this country. Even if/when we have someone more moderate elected to the top office, those people aren't going anywhere. They'll just go back into hiding. Fucking depressing man.

Saw more photos of the rally, not even sure it had much to do with the Governor. Looked like a Charlottesville style gathering for white nationalism.

It's too bad there isn't a way to get all their information and have every hospital blacklist them for life. Just disgusting.
Did I read here that this was funded or started by Devos family?

Their Christian Coalition or whatever it is called was a sponsor and promoting it.

Did these idiots know the Gov was working from home?

Even your jokes are lame.

Well they claim they had nothing to do with planning it, since they didn't officially do it. But the group they fund did.

I meant all the protesters. Just cut them off from society, their rights aren't greater than the sick, the doctors and nurses. Those people can't be reasoned with. Oh no, I have to temporarily give up some things for the benefit of society. Instead they'd rather risk permanently killing people because...I'm not sure.

I was just responding to the part about whether the Devos family started it or not. But yes, any of those fuckers that get sick should be permanently sent to the back of the line for any treatment. Clearly their own health and the health of others isn't important to them.

Don't focus on that. It may have been about that for a small number of them. If you break it down it was a 1) Trump rally 2) Anti Whitmer rally because see #1.

That's it. That's the bottom line.

Oh yeah, I live downtown. The Trump float, Confederate flags, MAGA hats and armed militants made it pretty clear that this was not about the Shelter In Home order. I had planned to step out and gander at the circus of it all but then reconsidered how that might actually turn out. I have no business anywhere near a Trump rally.

You, bob, kingston, duffy, dwags, pylon, heat, turtleneck, steve, and a number of others here can't be reasoned with either.  You're a bunch a knee-jerk idiots and an embarrassment to your party, just like those on the other side that you bitch about endlessly.

I mean, I hate these dumb motherfuckers as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't deny them healthcare. I view healthcare as a human right. Moreover, the health of the individual contributes to the health of the group. It is counter to our own interests to wish or allow ill health on anyone, no matter how big and dumb of an asshole they may be.

But if we can identify them, civil penalties galore is perfectly reasonable.

Yeah, don't bother. You guys are mad as hell and there's rarely any sense in your posts.

Angry racist misogynists are gonna be angry racist misogynists.

Oh, and they want to plant seeds too.

It’s always everyone else. You’d think just once he’d stop and do some self reflection.

I don't belong to a political party Pantry so I don't think I can be an embarrassment. I think extreme ( radical) partisan politics are dangerous. I don't believe is a rigid political ideology. I prefer to evaluate things and form an opinion based on individual issues.

For instance, I'm pro-choice but also believe in a strong military. I'm for less taxes but also think we should take care of the poor. If I said I was a republican or a democrat I would be shunned for having one of the opinions expressed.

Now, if they form an anti-buffoon in the white house party sign me up. I will be a charter member.

Get your talking points from Wells yet for today?

If only there was a way to buy seeds on the internet.

I've been thinking of getting into botany lately. The problem? Stores can't sell seeds and my stash is pretty good so it does not have any seeds. Someone mail me some seeds before I grab a gun and march up and down my cul de sac. Dag nabbit!

I can be reasoned with but it’s hard when the other person is incapable of actually having a reasonable discussion.

On its way.

This guy doesn't sound so crazy now does he?

I wonder if the last thing that crossed his mind was "well fuck, I guess they were right after all"

Maybe we can all have a moment of silence for the people that can't buy seeds, go fishing or support their local landscaping companies during these difficult times.

So, I turned on the t.v. with coffee this morning. As I was flipping through the channels I see this woman who was prominent on t.v. yesterday on Fox news so I stop. She's on that morning show with those two guys and the blonde girl. Anyway, she says at one point "There were no confederate flags or guns there, there were no kids getting candy".

Look, I don't know about the candy part, maybe she's right. But Fox absolutely was framing it as a bunch of lies about "guns and confederate flags". As she said that about the no guns and racist flags, the fox news guy was smiling and nodding his head.

So, here I know there were there, I saw and heard it with my own two eyes and ears, I now Fox is lying. yet, these fuckers are broadcasting to their idiot minions in various states that it's all lies. They are purposefully lying to their viewers. Nothing less than out and out lies. Obama, in his endorsement of Biden said "it will be tough, "they have a lot of money and their own propaganda network". Here's my question, when the Rube hillbilly racists in Michigan see that newscast, they have to also know Fox is lying. Do they think maybe that that network lies about other stuff or do they just grin chuckle and move on and say "Dems are crazy".
