I've seen those all over YouTube, it's some of the most absurd attacks I've come across.  They literally just announced that slotkin gave money to nasser and convicts.  Of course, that's not what happened I'm sure, don't even need a fact check.  It's an attack like ESPN did when they tried to connect izzo and dantonio to nasser

Neither Nassar — who is serving a 60-year sentence for child pornography and also pleaded guilty in two Michigan counties to sexually abusing women and girls under the guise of medical treatment — nor Tsarnaev ultimately benefited from the COVID-19 relief checks.

Court documents indicate Nassar initially received a $600 stimulus check in January 2021 and another $1,400 check in March 2021.

All COVID-19 funds issued to Nassar and Tsarnaev were seized on court orders and redistributed to their victims.

Don't think it will work all that well as we know what he is.

Staged.

FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Both major political parties are gathering Saturday in Michigan to choose nominees for the state Supreme Court, setting up campaigns for two available seats with majority control of the tribunal at stake.

Protesters disrupted the convention early on, shouting at U-M Regent Jordan Acker during the National Anthem and questioning whether the university would divest from Israel, among other things.

Acker later told Bridge Michigan the protesters had approached him to question whether he thought reports of Israeli Defense Forces soldiers allegedly committing sexual assault against Palestinian prisoners was “appropriate.”

He said he told the protesters “no” before countering to ask them whether they condemned Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack in Israel and related sexual assault allegations.

“The protester did not answer, and I said, ‘If you cannot say no, I am done talking to you,” Acker told Bridge in a text. “And that’s when the shouting started.”

MY CT is that because the protesters do not condemn the Hamas attacks suggests they are just trying to split the Democratic vote for in favor of Trump in order to continue Iran's war against Israel. These people are likely being controlled by a long-standing Palestinian lobby group in Washington whose goal is the destruction of Israel.

I'm in East Lansing, dude.

and, by the way, I know it's inconvenient for you, but it's your christian leader that calls the United States a "Third World Country" while y'all cheer.

but, if it it makes you feel better, you can focus your insecurity-laden ire toward me. I'm cool, man. I'm comfortable with who I am.

“Death to America” and “America is a stupid country” is worse.

So 6D & 6R with one very expensive race in District 7 in my best guess right now.

Due to redistricting, the current district map has only been tested in one statewide election — the 2022 midterm. In that contest, Slotkin beat Barrett by just over 5 percentage points.

There has been scant polling in the district so far this cycle, beyond February and July surveys that each showed Barrett leading Hertel by 7 points.

politics aside, I chucked with seeing "Florida", "dead" and "heat" in the same sentence.

thought they were warning me not to come to their state.

(spoiler alert: no need to worry about that).
