The ongoing coronavirus lockdowns and restrictions ordered by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) have shuttered 32 percent of Michigan businesses at least temporarily this year.

A hydrogen bomb over one of their largest cities (Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing) wouldn’t have done that.

Hope her recall petition works out. Here in California, we are past half way to recall this pretty boy tyrant and have to March. We’ve done it before with Davis just for increasing car registration costs. Yeah, we got Ahnold, but not much was accomplished from the CA Assembly and Senate. I and wife voted for McClintock.

I think she’s trying to out do Cuomo in New York.
“Lk @ me, I’m #1 !!!” she boasted in a text.

Does Michigan have a sales tax? Regardless, I’m sure revenues are not what they normally are. demonicRATS live for taxes. This is what makes me think they have something more sinister planned.

People here in VA weren’t taking der fuhrer Northams mask mandate seriously enough. Now, obviously to impede on a Merry Christmas, to buy liquor at the ABC store, you can’t shop for your booze. You can only stand at the front and tell the employee what you want and they’ll go down the aisle and get it.

She was only batting .320, so definitely disappointed.

They are going for 109% expect for fast food, big box, grocery store chains and warehouse distribution companies.

Get your part-time, no-benefits minimum wage jobs now. They are going fast.

It’s the end of the middle class as we know it.

At first I thought these Dem dictators were evil trying to take out Trump. Now They aren’t satisfied until they kill all Trump’s supporters in the working / business class.

No, worse. She laid off everyone outside senior management, but only for one day a week so they could then sponge up the federal unemployment $ meant for regular people.
