Desperate: Biden grasps for Gretchen Whitmer as potential running mate

He's desperate.

Faced with a slew of baggage-laden female black candidates for his running mate, each of whom could drag his ticket down, Joe Biden is reaching out and around the vaunted race box to consider Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan as his running mate.

Does this mean her husband can get his boat in the water?

Will there be a run on garden seeds before she has them roped off again.?

“She would make Michigan tough to win for Trump. Her popularity in the last poll in July was over 60%.”

Which is, to me, a friggin’ mystery!

“But if Bob Beckel was right about liberal fury over the Trump win in 2017, we all could be in for an unpleasant surprise”

Oh yeah, a lot of libs will have a complete emotional breakdown. There will be more impeachment attempts (if Republicans fail to regain the House), lies and innuendo directed toward Trump by the MSM, and more riots in the streets. Right now I would say we’re in a low-grade civil war. It may get worse before it gets better.

Have you seen Beckel lately? I haven’t seen him at all. I often found him interesting and entertaining (for a lib) when he was on The Five.

Not only did Whitless force elderly COVID folks into nursing home, in the last month our (Mich) legislature tried to pass a law outlawing that practice. Guess what the bitch did?

She vetoed it.

What a lot of people, Michiganders included, don't understand is that Michigan passed a law during WWII, 1945, that gives the Governor almost unlimited authority to act on her own.

“Act 302
10.31 Proclamation of state of emergency; promulgation of orders, rules, and regulations;seizure of firearms, ammunition, or other weapons.Sec. 1. (1) During times of great public crisis, disaster, rioting, catastrophe, or similar public emergencywithin the state, or reasonable apprehension of immediate danger of a public emergency of that kind, whenpublic safety is imperiled, either upon application of the mayor of a city, sheriff of a county, or thecommissioner of the Michigan state police or upon his or her own volition, the governor may proclaim a stateof emergency and designate the area involved. After making the proclamation or declaration, the governormay promulgate reasonable orders, rules, and regulations as he or she considers necessary to protect life andproperty or to bring the emergency situation within the affected area under control. “

After a few false starts, including recall petitions, a petition to UnLock Michigan is being circulated (if you're interested, go to Unlock Michigan.com to find out where you can sign the petition).

There is only one sentence on the petition.

“An initiation of legislation to repeal the Emergency Powers of Governor Act, 1945 PA 302, MCL 10.31 to 10.33, entitled “An act authorizing the governor to proclaim a state of emergency, and to prescribe the powers and duties of the governor with respect thereto; and to prescribe penalties.”

I live way past BFE, so I had to drive about 40 miles today to sign a petition. And, grrrr, the UnLock folks must have folded their tent due to the torrential downpour (they were on the shore of the Bay, so I understand).

I'm not even mad that I used a Saturday afternoon and too much time and gas. I figure it's the least I can do. Especially since, last night, the Whitless One did this:

She signed yet ANOTHER EO that extends our state of emergency (totally unnecessary ) till Sept. 4. Again, with no input from anyone! She has not talked to our legislature in months! She just does whatever she wants.

Did you get the part where I and thousands of others hate her Hitler-esque rule over this state? I could go into details of the punishments she has ordered for whomever disobeys her laws...but this is long enough. I posit that her approval ratings were sampled in the heavily Democrat areas, Detroit and Lansing. So, ya, Lyin' Hiden Biden, take our Governor, PLEASE!

It seems the color of the woman of color Joe Biden promised will be a white/pick woman.

But then by Democrat standards if Whitmer feels black then she is black.

If we had a decent media who did their job and told the truth, the Left would be out of business in no time.

They would have been gone decades ago.

He’s talking about them thronging the polls, not the subsequent reaction, which will occur regardless of who wins, IMO.

As far as Beckel himself is concerned, he may be a liberal democrat, but I have respect for him because he stood up for his teenage daughter against her bully by confronting the bully’s father. When the bully’s father tried to start crap with Beckel, daddy wound up, as Beckel put it, being a bloody bully himself.

He also overcame a substance abuse problem. I have great respect for people who do that, whatever their politics.

Now the down side; he’s gone from the scene, because, due to being ill-tempered and impulsive at times (IMO), he made some awful, racist remark at the FOX building and got canned as a result.

In Democrat parlance the only thing that isn’t ‘changeable’ is Race. Gender, sexuality those things can be changed. But race is the one immutable characteristic.
