Anyone else skeptical of this plot to kidnap Whitmer? Who knows, maybe it was as serious as they say. But it feels like they're exaggerating this to make "white nationalists" sound like a bigger threat than they are, make Whitmer sound like a sympathetic victim, and of course to blame Trump somehow.

Doesn't sound like "White Nationalists" did it.




As usual the MSM will frame it however they want though.

I just saw some report on PBS with Whitmer basically blaming Trump (He didn't condemn White Nationalists at the debate which empowers these people!!1!) and the Michigan AG doing the same. Even mentioned the Boogaloos or whatever their name is.

Just smelled too fishy.

I've got a question for anyone reading

Do yard signs accomplish anything?

It seems to me they do little more than the foam fingers fans buy while rooting on their team or a gang wearing their colors. I don't think they're changing minds and feel more like an "in your face" to their neighbors (& neighborhood) or an attempt to virtue signal by effectively saying "look at me!"

thoughts?

It seems to me that the actual fact to appointments to the Supreme Court is simply a matter of who and when the SCOUTIS member died and whose watch it happened. I guess they had the courtsey and forethought to expire on a Republican Presidential term more so than a Democrat Chief Executive Officer That said can anyone identify a President who didn’t seize the opportunity to make the appointment.

I'd love to see Maxine booted, 44 years is ridiculous plus every time I've heard her speak she sounds severely lacking in intelligence

I like the guys ad but what's he going to do to change the mess and the anti-police attitude that only exacerbates the problem?

I dont know how these lone wolves change anything in these bloated inefficient bureaucracies but I wish them success

So the girlfriend went to vote this morning (for Biden), got there at 7 and she said she had to wait 45 minutes

can we derive anything from long lines at the start of early voting?

Like my girlfriend, I believe a lot of people are dying to give Trump a proverbial "Fuck you" at the poles and because so many seem focused on their disdain/hate/rage for Trump and go no deeper than this in their thinking, Biden/Harris stand to benefit quite a bit

Seems to me the only hope of a Trump re-election is that the people responding to polls are dying to tell the world they hate Trump but a silent majority who plan to vote for Trump are not participating in these polls
