Democrat governors and mayors are starting to become drunk on power. – In Kentucky, the Democrat governor has police recording the license plate numbers of church parishioners and issuing them $500 tickets for being parked in the church parking lot.
In Philadelphia, the Democrat governor has police arrest a man for attempting to board an empty subway car without his mask on.
In California, the Democrat governor has police arresting a lone Santa Monica man on an empty beach for the crime of attempting to swim in the ocean.
In New York City, the Democrat Mayor not only orders churches to remain closed to any and all parishioners, but threatens to shut them down permanently if they do not bend to his will.
But none of those governors and mayors can hold a candle to Michigan’s Democrat Governor, Gretchen Whitmer. Whitmer has been such a despot in exercising her nebulous emergency powers during the Wuhan Virus crisis that she is now the subject of an online recall petition that had collected over 80,000 signatures within a few hours of its being issued on Saturday.
Rather than simply ordering the closing of “non-essential” businesses, as pretty much every other governor has done, Whitmer has taken things much further, ordering law enforcement officers to go into the stores remaining open and rope off sections selling items she deems to be “non-essential.” This would be items like plant seeds and American flags:
Continental Breakfast – Blazing Cat Fur

You can’t buy seeds with which to grow your own food or a flag to hang out over your front porch, but hey, you can buy pot and lottery tickets, because the state government can’t afford to lose the tax collections it receives on those items. Isn’t life in Michigan grand?
Two Fridays ago, Whitmer decided it would be a great thing for her political ambitions (she wants to be Joe Biden’s vice presidential nominee) if she banned hydroxychloroquine after President Trump had spoken highly of it as a treatment for Wuhan Virus. Four days later, as mountains of evidence proving the President’s claim became public, she was forced by public outrage to withdraw that stupid order.
The budding 3rd-world dictator has banned travel by motorboat on the state’s many lakes and other waterways, and late this week took the draconian step of banning any travel between residences in her state. That means that residents not only are banned from getting in the car or walking across the street to visit friends or family, they also cannot travel between two homes that they might own, or travel to rental homes that they might own and run as a business.
This woman with the plastic face is, in other words, stumbling, bumbling, falling down drunk with power. She isn’t just the drunk who hangs out at the local power bar, she’s the raging town drunk who closes down the power bar at 2:00 a.m. and spends the rest of the night walking through the streets slugging from a bottle of MD 20/20.
Gretchen Whitmer represents an object lesson for all Americans to heed. The people of Michigan are finding out how dangerous it is to elect someone with no real qualifications or life experience that might have prepared him or her to handle such a big job. Whitmer won the governor’s office based on being physically attractive, carefully polled talking points written by a team of talking points monkeys and having tons of out-of-state money to spend, much of which came from front groups funded by George Soros.
Even worse than her inexperience and lack of preparedness for a crisis, Whitmer’s radical leftist ideology leaves her prone to crave the rush of exercising power over the common people who all leftists seek to dominate and control. In this regard, she is proving to be the very worst of all the governors in America.
The apparent consideration of her as a potential Biden running mate now renders this wretched human being as not just a threat to the freedoms of the Michiganders who so stupidly chose to elevate her to a position of power, it makes her a threat to all Americans. Because let’s face it: Joe Biden is too elderly and obviously impaired to handle the office of the presidency. Were he to be elected in November, his vice president would inevitably rise to the presidency within a few months of Inauguration Day.
So, regardless of where you live, pay attention to the actions of this power-mad woman. Because the actions she is implementing today from the governor’s mansion to control the lives of Michigan residents are what she would love to be doing to you some day from the White House.
Oh yeah, and, Happy Easter, everyone!
That is all.
This woman with the plastic face... LMAO! She waxes and polishes her forehead before every news conference. Get her OUT of the STATE. Heil Witmer!
Sounds an awful lot like the whore of Babylon. What did the people of Michigan see in her? If I am correct it was probably dem strongholds like Detroit that got her in. I don’t see how people in rural Michigan that were for her. My first job was in Detroit at Henry Ford Hosp in 1981. I was amazed at the far liberal mindset even then. Not throwing stones because we definitely have our own set of problems here with our elections with senators.
“Just found out she just banned the use of motorized boats on all lakes and waterways here in Michigan......”
I have not heard that. I live on Lake St Clair and social distancing is natural being on the lake. The water is too cold (and high) to have the party areas set up.
A few days ago it was in the 60’s with little wind, the boats were out cruising.
I live here. Some counties allow people to walk the beach but not gather. Funny as the state recently passed a law citing that property lines extend to the high water line but that individuals may acces it if heretofore it was a common use area. I don’t live at the coast but if I did whoe be it to some pol he told me to stay off my property without a court order. Maybe those nazi saboteurs who landed in ponte verda in WW 2 did not know they were violating a beach vacancy order!
“What did the people of Michigan see in her?”
Detroit, Pontiac, Flint, Saginaw, welfare and entitlement voters, women, unionists, teachers — THEY got Gestapo Gretchen in office.
Same as with NY state and Cuomo.
“She made a big mistake in a big outdoor sportsman state.”
Jumped the shark, she did.
A whole lot of Michiganders just flipped over to the “THAT’S BS!” column.
The Democrats want to use her to light a powder keg. The Democrats really don’t respect people from Michigan.

Orwellian Overreach: Dem Governor Bans Buying US FLAGS, Vegetable Seeds, Baby Car Seats During Lockdown – But, Liquor, Pot And Lottery Tickets Are Essential

The Democrats don’t respect people. Period. They only respect power, murder, degeneracy.
“The Democrats want to use her to light a powder keg.”
She’s proving to the DNC that she can do harsh command-control. Wants to be VP.
The people attracted to government and its power over other people are the very ones most likely to abuse that power, the people least trustworthy.
Imagine the kind of person attracted like a magnet to the magnitude of power concentrated in a place like Washington. The same people are attracted to government positions--and government power--is places less powerful than Washington.
I’m originally from Michigan. We were visiting family during primary season. Her first ad was actually very effective although I could tell she was a very snobbish nasty woman.
She was driving down the road and talking to the camera about her broken windshield from a stone hit. Her slogan was “fix the damn roads.”
It resonated with the foolish electorate who thinks the roads are solely done at the whim of the governor.
She then maintained that she could fix the roads without increasing taxes.
Her stupid party Republican opponent was a lifetime politician swamp dweller who ran a horrible boring campaign.
Her predecessor was a business man with no previous political experience who did a very good job, so of course, in the age of Trump, they run a pure politician. See. Stupid Party.
Jennifer Granholm was the poster child for a pretty face and a horrible governor. Whitmer is Granholm II
It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”
-Sam Adams
Having her as a VP candidate is going to be a big negative for Biden in Michigan...a state he needs to win
You kidding? She secure her re-election with Wayne County thanks to her”keèpin da bruthas happy with liquor, weed, and lotto tickets” policy!
Talk about insane.
Does she have a brother who governs the state on the other side of Lake Michigan?
