That post was sarcastic to show the stupidity of claiming this is all about Whitmer being female.

California is full of loons who like things like homeless tents on city streets, defecating on the sidewalks and dropping city supplied needles all over the place. Michigan is not as bad as that yet.

The World Health Organizations has come out against lockdowns.

I have no idea what emergency powers Michigan grants its governors or if this governor has exceeded those powers.
Well the Supreme Court told her to stop her unconstitutional actions and she is refusing to obey their orders, so there's that.

Whitmer is a ditz and a whiney snowflake. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalk board. She's a "nanny" governor. Hope they get rid of her.

Democrats don't care about this idiotic government covid response blunder that killed people, because she is on team blue.

The "blunder" you speak of was perpetrated by team Trump.

Great news! I didn’t even know this was allowed in the state constitution.

Your news source is propaganda and lied to you.


-April, Whitmer requires nursing homes with 80% or less capacity to take in Covid-19 patients or keep ones that they have.

-May 13, the Detroit News reports that Republicans are pressing Whitmer about the dangerous executive order requiring some nursing homes to take in or keep Covid-19 patients.

-May 19, The Detroit News urged Whitmer to change her policy, stating that there was mounting evidence that her policy was killing people in nursing homes.

-June 24, the Detroit News states that Whitmer must answer questions about her nursing home policy as deaths mount that she has thus far dodged. On March 13, the CEO of the Health Care Association of Michigan told Whitmer that she needed to not allow Covid-19 patients into nursing homes. Whitmer rejected this advice and an issued an executive order that required facilities at less than 80% capacity to take in Covid-19 patients starting in mid-April.

The Detroit News reported that Whitmer contended that there wasn't enough time to set up or find separate facilities and she refused to participate in a Republican led effort in the spring to change this policy and find a solution. Whitmer claimed that the Republicans were simply being partisan. Whitmer refused to answer questions from the Detroit News on her nursing home policy.

-July 31, the Detroit News reported that Whitmer had vetoed a GOP bill to direct Covid-19 patients away from or out of nursing homes. Whitmer claimed that it was a false premise that the nursing homes weren't equipped to handle a highly contagious disease.

Every state that had a similar policy to Whitmer's had already shifted to a different policy at this point, the Detroit News reported. She will continue this policy more than a full 2 months after all the other states had stopped it due to obvious reasons.

-August 5, the Detroit News urges Whitmer once again to change her nursing home policy as deaths continue to happen in nursing homes. The Detroit News states that now 17 (of 52) Democrats and 58 (of 58) Republicans in the state house and 2 (of 16) Democrats and 22 (of 22) Republicans in the state Senate passed a bill to end the policy - Whitmer vetoed the bill.

Following the veto 13 House Democrats signed a Republican Resolution outright condemning Whitmer's refusal to change her deadly policy. Whitmer continues to claim that this is partisan Republican attacks and that some people don't like strong women.

-August 31, the Detroit News reports that Whitmer's own taskforce urges her to change Michigan's Covid-19 nursing home policies.

September 30, The Detroit News reports that Whitmer announces that she will finally shift her policy on nursing homes not giving in to Republican urges for separate facilities, but mandating that nursing homes have distinct Covid areas with distinct staff for that area of the facility starting in October.


Michigan still has the second highest Covid-19 death rate in the Midwest.

At least 2,154 nursing home patients in Michigan have died, but it could be higher as the state data is poor and the Republicans in the state congress can't get good access to definitive data.


The fact that Democrats can look at all of the facts and blame Trump for Whitmer's idiocy and then even nod their head in agreement when Whitmer refuses to answer questions on her deadly policy while playing the victim by claiming that it is about her being a strong woman - proves how mindless Americans have become to their party shepherds.

math is more accurate than science. we always question science because new knowledge comes in but in math 4+4 always equals 8.

the smartest people in college are math majors.
