VA Gov. Youngkin will be campaigning with Dixon - that seems significant.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Dixon faces an uphill battle, but let's at least wait until the campaign kicks into high gear before writing it off. Whitmer is TERRIBLE.
Only to a minority of voters
We will see.
There’s no evidence to the contrary at all. But tilt at windmills. Let me know which ones the best… I want one for my yard.
This woman has zero respect for constitutional rights.

Locking us down like caged dogs and throwing the sick ones in the same cage.
I must have missed where there were people outside my house with guns not letting me walk outside.
I guess that's typical response of a sign carrying Biden voter with blinders on? You cannot deny the loss of personal freedoms was unprecedented by her illegal EO's. Some Sheriff and MSP departments had threatened to stop people outside and ticket people, and yes they carry guns.

She ordered us not to gather outside, go to second homes, use our boats, go on vacation, or travel to see relatives. You couldn't buy seeds, plants or buy certain repair items for your house.

She was also sent Covid positive patients to nursing homes, where it infected the vulnerable and gave them a death sentence.

Meanwhile her husband was using her name to get her boat out of storage in an expedited fashion AND She was flying secretly to Florida with her daughters for Spring Break.

REFERENCES:
Two Or More People Meet Outside Homes, Not Wearing Masks, Subject To $1,000 Fine:
https://www.michigancapitolconfidential ... 1-000-fine

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services director Robert Gordon has defined a “gathering” in Michigan as “any occurrence, either indoor or outdoor, where two or more persons from more than one household are present in a shared space.”

The definition empowers the state to regulate gatherings of any two individuals who are not from the same household, with a failure to abide by the rules punishable by civil fines of up to $1,000. This implies that two friends who are not wearing face masks and walking together (not six feet apart) in a empty park would be subject to state-imposed penalties.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services imposed a new and more restrictive set of coronavirus restrictions on business and schools on Oct. 29.
These people were harassed and ticketed by police for giving free outdoor haircuts:

Of course, there was some of the governor's likely vigilante "KARENS" too:

His campaign may or may not be repeatable… he had a rather unique in there with education featuring a number of Republican activists and strategists playing “ordinary” parents going on the news and raising a fuss. Man in the street it wasn’t at least the face of it.

Many Republicans behave like dogs, don't they?

She respects the constitution for ALL Americans, not just disenfranchised conservative victims.

Virginia doesn't allow incumbents to run again in the Governor's race. To suggest what works in Virginia will work elsewhere is completely false.

Dude - settle down. The response to COVID was a disaster everywhere. The R gov of Ohio did a lot of the same.. and other govs took different approaches and it all turned out about the same. No one was right, as no one had information on any best practices, and you kinda have to blame the Trump folks for that (based on news reports of the discarding of plans to deal with pandemics developed by past administrations). There was a loss of personal freedoms but that was caused much more by the virus than any politician.

And you can choose to vote for someone other than the incumbent based on how you feel she handled the pandemic. But it would be interesting to ask Whitmer what she would do if she got a mulligan on this.

He should move to a third block nation. Audiophile becomes less and less American every year.

As for COVID, his criticism that the CDC had dysfunction was accurate, but only for not responding fast and hard enough...
Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Wednesday delivered a sweeping rebuke of her agency’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying it had failed to respond quickly enough and needed to be overhauled.

In a meeting with senior staff, Dr. Walensky outlined in broad terms a plan to reorganize the agency’s structure to prioritize public health needs and efforts to curb continuing outbreaks, and to put less emphasis on publication of scientific papers about rare diseases.

The steps announced on Wednesday grew out of an external review Dr. Walensky had ordered in April, after months of scathing criticism of the C.D.C.’s response to the pandemic. Its public messages on masking and other mitigation measures were sometimes so confusing or abruptly modified that they seemed more like internal drafts than carefully considered proclamations.

The public guidance has been “confusing and overwhelming,” according to a briefing document provided by the agency.

Leaders of the agency’s Covid team rotated out after only a few months, leaving other senior federal health officials unsure about who was in charge. And important data were sometimes inexplicably released too late to inform federal decisions, including some data on breakthrough infections that could have influenced a recommendation on whether to authorize a round of booster shots.

Truth!


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.
