Despite Gas Lines on the Eastern Seaboard because of the Colonial Pipeline Shutdown, Gretchen Whitmer wasn't satisfied, despite furious pushback from Unions in Michigan she folded to the left...and closed a pipe line in Michigan...

How does she even have any power to even do this with no reason?
Our government is REALLY enjoying imposing hardship after hardship upon us - for THEIR gain.
And I would bet my life that they’re amazed at how far they are able to go - without citizens of the USA taking up arms against them.
They never thought it would be so easy.
Not really, it supplies 40% of Michigan’s propane which is a heating fuel outside the urban areas and about 10% of the State’s crude.
In addition, it gets sent to Sarnia Ontario, and after refining it, some re-crosses the border as gasoline.
The same also takes place at the Nanticoke refinery on the North Shore of Lake Erie, it gets trucked across the border at Buffalo and Lewiston.
That line provides a good portion of the gas for heating in the UP.
I wondered, CIA?, when first I heard of the cyber shutdown. The Left feels it needs to drive up the price of gas to force people out of their cars and onto buses and the like.
citizen mobility has always been a bugbear to the Left.
I always laughed at them angrily asking “do you want to return to the 50’s”.
Most people could afford homes of their own then...
What is going on???!!!
Here in Florida I heard on the radio this morning that the big pipe line shut down doesn’t affect Florida because all oour supply comes from Alabama. I heard that as i passed a gas station that had a sign out, “No Gas.” I passed other No Gas signs and others restricting purchases to $35. Yes it affects Florida. Everybody heard the pipe line shut down so they all all rush out and deplete the gas stations.
By what authority??
Exactly. Something something interstate commerce and international commerce. But Biden won’t do anything about it. Think Trump would have said anything? I’m sure he would.
When she is tossed out of the governorship in 2023, she will get her Biden / Harris cabinet job. Perhaps she will be Harris’s VP after Biden is declared unfit.
While it may very well be Russian hackers, my first intuition said China or the CIA.
They just want to laugh and watch everyone suffer. In the end, the joke will be on them.
Ahhhhh, the good old days whe they use to tar and feather crooked politicians and escort them out of town on a rail.
How does she have the power to shut down a pipe line that obviously had federal approval as all do? (at least I would think they do)
Michigan is run by liberal women and Marxist blacks and fortified with a vast supply of Karens and Urban people who continuously “vote” them in. Thank God for the 19th and 14th! What would America be with out them?
she doesn’t...the Canadian company told her to go to hell...she kept threatening a court order, and never got one...
And people worked for a living rather than voting for a living.
Yup.
And on one income!
“Women’s Equality!” Yeah, right. Now they’re slaves, too.
The left can’t let a crisis go to waste, and piling on is a way to make the point.
