Michigan Governor caves to pressure and protest, says she’ll reopen state May 1st
Lifezette ^ | 17 April 20 | Wayne Dupree

The good people of Michigan took to the streets en masse on Wednesday to protest their Democrat governor’s tyrannical rules and restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They flooded the streets of the State Capitol in Lansing, Michigan, demanding that the state be opened back up before it slipped into even more economic despair.

The turnout was huge. The message was clear. And today, even after Governor Whitmer tried to double and triple down on her Hitler-like rules over the past few days, she has caved and said that she will work to reopen Michigan’s economy on May 1st.

That’s a huge win for the people of Michigan and the rest of America.

I have the feeling a lot of governors won’t win reelection.

She doesn’t have to worry about that for two more years.

“says she’ll reopen state May 1st”

and just what does that mean? I expect she will just take back the insane crap she put in a week ago which would still keep us under house arrest. An old leftist trick. Put in bunch of outrages stuff, take a few back and say “I am responding to the will of the people” and throw out some crumbs.

Believe it when you see it, FRiends.

I’m just hoping for a YUGE turnout in Harrisburg (PA) on Monday and a similar outcome.

Btw, any of you other states have a dickless transvestite in charge of one of your state agencies ?
That appointment is an example of the moronic stalinist pussyboy ‘governor’ that the Filthadelphia communists have inflicted on the REAL Pennsylvania.

Dang!
I was hoping she holds out till November by which time most of her constituents would have lost their jobs even as states like Texas and South Dakota continued to prosper. Then Trump would win in a landslide.

VA Gov doesn’t have to worry about re-election at all. We only allow 1 term. And he’s makin it a doozy.

We will see.

I don’t think rat guvs have any intention to reopen. They want a depression to get rid of Trump. Yes, their state budgets are getting killed but they’re counting on p’sie and shoomer to get them money for approving the payroll refunding.

The plan seems to be: go into depression - blame Trump
Negotiate for fed funds to the states and mail in ballots. Thus the states can stay shut and they win in Nov.

If the economy is destroyed they don’t care. All the unemployed go on welfare and become govt junkies. Then the tax increases like you’ve never seen before.

Trump has to hold firm on this current payroll negotiation. A clean refunding is the only option. If the rats say no, then it would be better for people to lose their jobs then we all lose the republic.

That was fairly quick!

President Trump, put these fascist Governors into a spot light they don't want to be in, by letting them handle giving back freedom to the voters.

Quarantines only work to keep a small amount of sick people from going out!

They don’t work to keep the vast majority of healthy people locked inside.

Thanks to HotHunt for this great visual!

People will die anyway. It’s just a thing we all eventually do.

She won election by default, under the notion that she would “fix the damn roads”.
