I have questions I hope will be addressed in any forth coming reporting.

Hopefully, this one doesn't go into information over load files.

Be prepared for some payback in some way. They certainly have a bag full of them.

Trying to overthrow the government is a rite of passage for modern-day Republicans.

Saves us from any potential recall and clears the way for a second term for Governor Whitmer.

But, motivated as they might be today, they'll forget this by November. There are more important things to do than vote. Like put salt licks near the hunting blind.

I wanna see all these traitors get the same lock up as G Gordon Liddy is portrayed as having in The Gaslight Miniseries. Nasty cells shared with rats. None of that rich man spa type incarceration. And no god damned pardons. They Fucked Around, time for some Finding Out. Otherwise, spare me the Justice for All bullshit in all of the Songs and recited anthems. Screw the hat removal, hand over heart, stand and repeat after me MurKKKa crap. It’s all bull shit. Now or never. Are we law and order or Russia? I fear it’s the latter.
