On 2-18-23 MI GOP elects Kristina Karamo as Chairperson

by **GRR Spartan** 2023-02-19, 11:32

That’s the election denying (2020 and 2022) former GOP Sec of State candidate who managed to lose Sec of State by 14% in 2022 and still refuses to concede.

The MI GOP is an oblivious train wreck. What political party already trying to appear serious to the mainstream middle 20% required to win elections would have a gathering at the Lansing bar “The Nut House” and invite reporters for photo ops?

Further proof liberal slant articles in the Detroit Free Press should not be considered "news". The writers are more about division than unity, as are their readers.

Odd, instead of whitewashing the crazy to try to make it seem normal the reporter reported what happened.

The Detroit News Uber liberal (

) editorial page editor Nolan Finley green lit the headline of his own opinion piece:
With Karamo as chair it’s R.I.P. for Michigan GOP

Finley is admitting the MI GOP has effectively pissed away MI in the 2024 elections except for the solid GOP counties that are typically low population. Weren’t strong enough to keep GOP majorities in the MI House or MI Senate and have most likely greatly increased the probability of electing a new U.S. Senator who will be the Democrat’s nominee.

It’s fitting they are so optically impaired they meet at The Nut House oblivious of why they lost in 2022.

It’s an opinion column pantry, that’s how opinion columns work. They indeed are not labeled news.

And unity as a blanket concept is overrated

Opinion articles should be limited to the tabloids, not included in a mainstream newspaper. Elrick is another Mitch Albom.

Not surprised you're against unity.

They’ve been in newspapers since the beginning of time. They belong. It’s incumbent on you to understand what you’re reading.

Well pantry, if you’d like to discuss it. What is unity? I mean, what does the word even mean? And once we establish that, unity with what exactly?

Unity on Pantry's terms, of course. When people say that it means unity around their values and beliefs. The most uncompromising people love to talk about unity.

Back to the topic. Pantry has a point about the opinion columns. The columns in the papers should be optional. You should not be forced to read them. This can start by putting them in a different section of the paper so readers can choose to skip past them or whatever. That is what they should do, Travis.

I think we can all unite around the idea that demonic possession can be transmitted form person to person via sex.

Vote Republican.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2023-02-19, 17:24

I think unity means meeting in the middle and solving our differences and agreeing for the sake of it you guys.

We’ll do a draft of policy positions that we all have to unify around. I selected “universal healthcare” and conservatives selected “you know the system in handmaid’s tale? That.” So I guess that’s what we all have to do now. Please commence unifying.

None of that opinion piece was manufactured. Shouldn't even be contested.

The Rs, in The Nuthouse (across from lugnut stadium) chose a 16 pt loser on a statewide election who speaks of witches and demons to lead them... to victory???

That's all craziness.

I'd support YOU 10 times over as the gop chair over the 2 that they had choosen from. And I know your level of 🤪 ... at least it's not rooted in mythical creatures or a nearly disbarred con-man. There's just something wrong with the top of the gop. Not one sane person.

Edit: of course you could be bought off with a nice rub recipe or maybe some apple wood.

Yeah if bringing up facts about the leaders equals division, then you need to look inward at the party.

by **Trapper Gus** 2023-02-19, 23:28

Sometimes it appears that conservatives on this board post on tBin only blame the liberals for pointing out that the leaders in the Republican Party are expressing bat shit crazy positions.

Nope, sorry, almost all the time that is all conservatives on this board are doing.

I understand why Pantry retreated, there is really very little that a rational person can defend regarding the fundamental belief statements from the present day leaders of the MI Republician Party. Accusing "others" of making those beliefs up and running away is about the only rational reaction.

the Michigan Republican party:

loses to (at least) two vulnerable Dems in Whitmer and Nessel, sits back and allows both the House and the Senate to be flipped, are such christian cowards they can't come out and say "we're pro-life" relative to the reproductive rights proposal, opting to just call it "confusing" and "extreme".

so what do they do? They double-down on the crazy, electing someone as party chair who says that yoga is "satanic"... I'm sure that's gonna sway a lot of independents. On 2-18-23 MI GOP elects Kristina Karamo as Chairperson 502811600

Other candidates emphasized their Christian faith, their commitment to reverse the GOP's losing streak, and their disdain for the party's traditional leadership. Drew Born disclosed that he slept with four things next to his bed: A Bible, the Constitution, his marriage certificate and a gun.

I’m willing to predict Karamo doesn’t last her full term. She seems like the type to take the office and big-time everybody, demanding special things be done for her, possibly some wild spending habits on the Party card, and the full-time staffers revolt. Then maybe they can seat DePerno and he makes things even worse. lol

Or is she going to require everyone in the Party to swear an oath to her version of the giant fairy in the sky?

by **kingstonlake** 2023-02-20, 16:19

There’s a local lady here who’s husband and her have been clout chasing Karamo, Dixon, and Dipearno. He was the guy who physically assaulted a guy on camera. Thankfully he lost his run for the school board….. Post selfies, pictures and shit following Karamo around . Of course all three lost. I bet it’s a nauseating glee fest with this wack job getting the GOP leadership spot.

Since unity and division have been discussed in this thread, here’s the story of the Georgia jeanyis Margie Taylor Greene who reiterated her call today for either Biden to be impeached or have red and blue states get a divorce. Thankfully, the Republican governor from Utah calls that idea evil.

Georgia is pretty much 50-50 red-blue. I'll bet that would finally send her into madness should that ever come about.

Please let it happen—let her descend into madness. Georgia is trending blue, and if Margie’s requested divorce ever comes, she could have trouble finding any state that would take her. Fine by me.

From the other thread... Pantry, this is your guy telling you the "crazies" are running the show.
