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 Michigans 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 cant 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 cant afford to lose the tax collections it receives on those items. Isnt life in Michigan grand?
Two Fridays ago, Whitmer decided it would be a great thing for her political ambitions (she wants to be Joe Bidens 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 Presidents 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 states 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 isnt just the drunk who hangs out at the local power bar, shes 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 governors 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, Whitmers 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 lets 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 governors 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.
I figured so. We lived in Pontiac for a year. Had to get out of there. Most of the large metropolitan areas vote dem because of all the “entitled” people. Unfortunately, if you have a lot of these dem areas with large populations, the state goes to the dems. I live in Jefferson County here and Hillary won the county because Birmingham is the biggest city in this county. I understand completely.
Sounds sort of like what happened here in Alabama with the senator race. Unfortunately Roy Moore was the repub candidate running against the dem Doug Jones. Roy is too far right for probably all dems and probably some repubs. He gave the impression that he had the election in the bag because when he was accused of bad behavior with a woman, he really didn’t push back against the allegation much at all. That opened the way for Jones to be elected.
BY the way, my wife and I used to love driving into northern Michigan in the fall and early winter. It was beautiful. Really liked to stop in Frankenmuth.
Even outside of ‘crisis’ times, the Rats feel they have to ‘do something’ instead of letting liberty rule.
That ain’t north enough for me.
My wife and I are hoping to do a kayak tour of Pictured Rocks National Seashore in the Upper Peninsula this summer. We booked the tour but not sure if it can happen.
I’ve backpacked across Pictured Rocks (about 50 miles) and cycled across most of the southern side of the UP.
I think you're probably right but at this time I would like to hear local PD's saying no way are they going to enforce her draconian orders.....
—governors and mayors powers should be limited to such weighty decisions as to how the tissue hangs in the restrooms-
—all other matters should have legislative approval-—
She issued it Thursday......Walleye season is kicking off and those fishermen are screwed.
“In Florida you cannot go out in your back yard if you live on the beach...
The governor closed the beach”
He reopened them a few days later, after the backlash. Not for sunbathing, though. Walking, running, swimming, surfing.
Yeah, it still ain’t perfect, but it helps. He’s being given bad advice on HCQ, too. “Dangerous side effects...” Is the leftist mantra. Anything to not let us take it en-mass as a preventative, and go right back to work.
That sounds exciting. We did go to Sault Ste Marie once in June. Left Pontiac and it was around 75 degrees. Got there and the high during the day was 55. It was a great weekend trip.
Surely you jest!! I want all of them . . . local, state and federal . . . out of my life when it comes to matters like this. I am quite capable of self-isolating and family-isolating if necessary. This is like if you need a warning label on the drain cleaner to keep you from drinking it, you dont have enough sense to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel! The great Darwin experiment would be to remove all warning labels and lets winnow out the brainless!
Democrats everywhere trying to seize power and ban anything they disagree with. The tyrants of Central Asia couldn’t do it better.
Maybe we need state electoral colleges?
Same as in COTUS, but for state governor election, with each county having electors.
“...would like to hear local PD’s saying no way are they going to enforce her draconian orders...”
Future elections after this BS WILL have consequences for county, township and city leadership. We will not forget this.
A real life if boobs were brains meme.
They must be turning in their graves.
People in Michigan must like being controlled and will bend over at the first fascist command. What no balls Michigan?
Yeah, Northam signed the unconstitutional red flag law on Friday, and fast tracked abortion while he was at it, all while everyone was distracted. I’m afraid North Carolina is only a couple of years away from this stuff. Roy Cooper would make it happen now if he could get away with it.
That’s an idea. I can imagine liberal heads exploding....they don’t even want the national electoral college.
“What no balls in Michigan?”
Detroit, Pontiac, Flint, Saginaw (guess the demographics of those cities), welfare and entitlement voters, women, unionists, teachers THEY got Gestapo Gretchen in office.
Same as with NYC in NY and Minneapolis & Duluth in MN.
She’s ROSE from Two and a Half Men.....CRA-CRA!!
