    From Politico... https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/15/michigan-protest-whitmer-coronavirus-188579

    This is what the right wing neoconservative think tanks do, pay for PROTESTS, get them started reaching out to their devote followers on facebook,, twitter, youtube, INFOWARS, Savage Nation. with Trumps Blessing. Of course Steve Bannon is the type to get this whipped into a frenzie. With 50+ RW paid shilling by billionaires out there. Who knows which one got the workers started.
    Ironic that the SAVAGE Nation is owned and ran by an eastern european jewish Immigrant who's son owns ROCK STAR ENERGY drink. This is who the republicans follow. The family and friends of the very banksters stealing away their money thru inflation, ans money printing.

    Get your gun, go to Lansing and PROTEST. Protest as any under educated white man 35 - 65 would when called out by a Christian organization. This is exactly how the TEA PARTY started, blaming an outcome on government. It isnt the governors fault we got the virus, nor is it that TRUMP has failed miserably to provide needed equipment.

    That is except the one thing he keeps bragging about, well, 2 things. He stopped china travel early, and he made sure we had more than enough ventilators. Listen today, he will for sure tell you again, it is a daily thing.

    This is all so horrible, and i too want to get back, but you cant force it, you need to let the leaders do their thing. And, if these guys protesting, are such great flag waving americans, worked hard, built a family, where is their SAVINGS for an emergency ? Did they not liten to DAVE RAMSEY ? or rush the millionaire limbaugh ? You were suppose to save.
    So get back in you're truck, go home and the govt will let you know.

    I live in Los Angeles and was stuck on the freeway when the anti-Trump protesters shut things down. The left seems to understand the importance of their right to peacefully assemble. (Even though they don't understand the importance of picking up their trash afterwards)

    The same college campus that allowed staff and students to hold Hillary rallies threatened a student with removal by law enforcement unless he went to the "free speech zone"

    The right to free speech and to peacefully assemble ends where an opposing view begins, right?

    The lockdowns, are PROVEN to have flattened the curve, and allowed us to SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, and to entertain loosening up.

    Michigan Gov. Whitmer faces fierce backlash over strict stay-at-home order. When NBC News reports that a Democrat is in trouble, you know they’re in trouble.

    Love this:

    “People always say: ‘Conservatives never protest because they are too busy working,'” the event page says. “Well, guess what. You’re not working — so it’s time to PROTEST.”​

    Heh.

    Psycho Power Crazed Nazi Doesn't Think Adults Can Be Trusted To Go Out In Public​

    The Left is filled with wealthy white women who are fascists.

    Free Michiganders, many from the more conservative areas of the state, know that Nazi Whitmer's latest order went too far. She is stripping them of their constitutional rights. Online, they pledged to protest, signed petitions calling for her recall and joined Facebook groups dedicated to having the order curtailed.

    Nazi Whitmer's executive action extended her prior stay-at-home order through the end of April and made it more brutal.

    Michiganders aren't allowed to travel to in-state to vacant vacation residences. They are not permitted to use a motor boat. Large stores must close areas "dedicated to carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centers, plant nurseries, or paint."

    We all know what subversives might do with these items, better just to remove the temptation!

    [​IMG]
    Michigan Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield decried Whitmer's order, lamenting that while lawn care and boating have been deemed "nonessential," marijuana dispensaries remain open and the state-run lottery is ongoing.

    Chatfield said he felt the governor fumbled the latest order, which he believes unnecessarily forces people to abandon remaining hobbies and harms businesses.

    Whitner has had it coming. I'm not surprised at all since this is coming from a woman who thinks it makes sense to ban vaping but not smoking or alcohol simply because vaping was the boogeyman-of-the-month.

    She's a moron and she'll be voted out in the next election.

    Lawn care is shut down?

    Good thing it's not july! Jeez.

    Were still doing construction , lawns, golfing, lots of workers with masks. It really just restaurants takeout only and "other " retail.

    80% of us than can work from home and do appointment only meetings, lots more e-signature for my job. Retail sales are definitely down on clothing due to closures.

    You can still grab a 6pack and a slim jim at the 7-11, no worries.

    Americans are seeing the lockdown for what it is.

    Life under Democrat rule.

    Living under a lockdown is what the Democrats want to fundamentally transform America into.

    These agitators were (for the most part) Trump supporters.

    Sad.

    Look at this picture (from the Capitol Steps):

    [​IMG]

    A bunch of Trump Supporters who didn't even spell Whitmer's name correctly.

    Trump needs to do a better job of controlling his supporters.

    Very sad. :smh:

    Bringing guns is revolting and the Michigan police should have arrested them for the guns in open public

    So, you think it is perfectly OK to expose all workers in all environments to the very real probability of getting the trump virus. Would you enjoy burying your children and other relatives who got infected with the virus? It is true that the virus doesn't kill everyone who gets infected but it does seem to cause other major medical problems. Do you want you and your family to suffer from brain, heart, and lung damage the rest of your lives?

    Most of the world is on a lockdown. If Country A lets all of its people run free they can all get infected and act as a major reservoir that will continually infect the rest of the world.

    Consider an aircraft carrier with about 6,000 people onboard. How many infected Sailors do you want on it? Do you want to fly on an airplane for hours with infected passengers and aircrews? Do you want to buy meat that has been processed by infected meat cutters? Do you want to go to the dentist who has been working on infected patients? Will you go to a sporting event and mingle with a crowd of infected fans? Will you go to a bar and mix with a roomful of drunks? Will you send your kids to school to get infected by the teachers so that they can come home to infect you?

    They were protesting the moronic dictates of a governor who lacked any semblance of common sense.

    I am extremely disappointed that Whitmer didn't order mass arrests.

    These protestors defeated their entire purpose by creating more cases of coronavirus.

    If this happens again, Whitmer needs to mobilize the National Guard.

    A bunch of Trump Supporters flying the Confederate Flag and helping spread the Virus isn't a good look.

    Whitmer needs to get a lid on this.

    Michiganders don’t seem to like their nazi governor’s authoritarian impulses

    [​IMG]
    Self-Righteous Rich White Woman With Fascist Impulses
    The crackdown and the backlash are both real and spectacular

    Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is feeling the heat these days. Some of her citizens are seeing red over her recent executive order expanding the Stay at Home rules that were already in place. They’ve been organizing protests and setting up social media campaigns to have the order repealed or even demand a recall election. So when it comes to executive authority during a declared state of emergency, how far is too far when it comes to executive orders? (NBC News)

    Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed one of the most restrictive stay-at-home orders in the country late last week.

    The backlash has been immense.

    Michiganders, many from the more conservative areas of the state, believe Whitmer’s latest order went too far. They accused her of stripping them of their constitutional rights. Online, they pledged to protest, signed petitions calling for her recall and joined Facebook groups dedicated to having the order curtailed.

    Whitmer’s executive action extended her prior stay-at-home order through the end of April and toughened it up.
    This Stay at Home order is really over the top. The order forbids travel to vacation homes even if they are inside the state. Nobody is allowed to go out on the water in a motorboat, but a canoe or a rowboat is fine! Stores are being ordered to block off areas “dedicated to carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centers, plant nurseries, or paint,” in an effort to cut down on foot traffic, but, marijuana dispensaries are "essential" and open. Those not in compliance face a fine or a misdemeanor arrest.

    The order about not traveling to a vacation home is ridiculous. If you have a family that’s already living together under one roof and they want to travel together in a car to a different residence, what new risk is being created if they observe other social distancing rules during the trip? And… boats? There are few other leisure activities that involve more distancing than fishing and boating unless you tend to collide with other boaters on a frequent basis.

    It’s always dangerous to allow a politician to get a taste of too much power. Some can't handle it. She won't improve. Voters need to remove her from office.

    Except, that's not at all the infection rate. No, we have not been able to test all or most, but what we have been able to test is that for as many cases as we know we have/infected, there have been thousands of others who are negative. In fact, nearly twice as many negative as positive.


    These actions have been to the detriment of the Republic, and to the detriment of a free society and a free people. If Trump really did have this power, he would have been impeached with popular support. The Democrats do not govern to the will of the consent. It doesn't govern either to the majority or to the minority. It governs to its own end, it pursues policies that are its ideal, not pragmatic results.

    And thus, we the people and the people of Michigan are left without representation. We are told "temporarily" due to the virus, we know it to be quite long lasting.

    People have the right to demonstrate because it is their lives after all.

    IMO, the original problem wasn't framed right. Everyone let the WHO whacko flap his jaws about the trump virus being a pandemic, which immediately caused a world-wide hysterical panic. It might have been better if the problem had been stated as a choice between living with a potentially deadly disease that might kill several million people around the world before an effective vaccine is developed or going into a world-wide lockdown for six weeks as an attempt to break the chain of infection. That is the type of problem the UN is designed to handle. Instead, every leader got to decide on how to handle it in his own two acres so the infection will continue for maybe the next 18-24 months at various places around the world.

    While there is over 192 countries we are just one herd of people. If we don't let the herd get exposed to the virus so that the vast majority of people can develop a herd immunity at once we will continue to have flare-ups which will be much more disruptive and costly. If we had done nothing maybe three or four million people around the world would have died abut everyone else would have lived and been able to recover at the same time. The current process is the worse possible course of action for the whole herd.
