But as my 17 year old leftist daughter says, "Big Gretch can take it. She has no fucks to give..."

Whitmer's strong leadership, her insistence on doing the right thing, no matter how much criticism she gets, has been a great example to the young women of Michigan.

It was the opening move in the militant right's plan to accomplish by armed force what they can no longer achieve at the ballot box. They are indeed domestic terrorists.

Easy to see, but for some reason dumpo the clown can only call a disorganized group of anti fascists terrorists while giving orders to the White Supremecist militias to liberate so called blue states.

Very fucking dangerous times.

Trump needs to be stuffed back into the clown car and driven away to prison.

I know I posted on at least 40 sites not militia but kkk ws nazi terrorists and the more I watched others were saying the same, sending in to other news sites to the point by afternoon the words were changing from militia and by night most of the threads had the argument forefront that was night militia. Collectively, we changed the language and that is important.

Like we need to do with the term pro life.
