Have another deep draught of that kool-aid you've been swallowing. It enhances your charming personality.

And thanks for confirming that this is a Trumpie stunt, all about national politics and nothing about the health and well being of the people of Michigan.

Seriously, she represents and defines the authoritarian approach that leftists love so much, and those of us on the right fear.
Are you from Michigan, or are you from Trumpieland USA generally?

Because it's snowing doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to buy tomato seeds. Or anything else for that matter.

Some folks just need someone else to tell them how to live, I suppose.

If you actually had family healthcare workers that work on the front lines in a hospital you would understand the problems, the actions of these people in Lansing are jeopardizing nurses and doctors not to mention other citizens.


Much easier for to give people the easy answers rather than make tough decisions. I have respect for governors that have made these difficult and unpopular choices like DeSantis and others just leaving the decisions up to the local mayors.

There is nothing stopping me from buying seeds or plants.



In fact, our new push-mower, string trimmer and fertilizer just got delivered about an hour ago. Easy, peasy.

When will Biden & the DNC signal to the MSM that Whitmer's out of the VP race?

I'm thinking this Friday, we'll start seeing articles hinting at it.

My experience up here in Lansing/East Lansing is very much the same as yours. We even saw large and obvious Easter gatherings at homes in our neighborhood.

If we act like irresponsible children, we should expect to get treated like irresponsible children.
That is the problem I have with your viewpoint. You don't punish all people because of a view idiots. Yes, I realize there are a percentage of people who do dumb things. However, this is America and you will not get away with that. A better idea is to patrol the parks and other areas to make sure people are keeping their distance.

And I went to the local Bass Pro Shop yesterday and picked up a few things I need for the boat that were broken or for maintenance. They were doing the right thing and only allowing 50 people in the entire store at a time. I kept my distance from others and got in and out no problem. Spent the day working outside by myself getting things done on the boat. That is the smart way to do it. Nothing wrong with places being open as long as they have limits. If someone gets too close to me I move or give them the 'stay back' look. No reason to shut everything down, just change how we operate.

I suspect your family members in Michigan will just fall in love with my pretty blond daughter and mom of two toddlers when they need her in a big hospital in western Michigan.
