    I hope this action by GOP governors backfires on them and motivates the democrats to turn out in larger numbers to oust the selfish bastards. All this hate coming from the GOP can’t be good.

    I am very proud of the Mayor of Detroit – Mike Duggan. I am sitting in my office in Downtown Detroit over looking beautiful Campus Martius Park. Our governor (Synder) is being held by the balls by the RWNJ repubs in Lansing. He tries to come across as a moderate economic repub, but it turns out he’s just a liar. He’s term limited so he doesn’t have to placate the RWNJs anymore. Clearly this shows what a weak man he is.

        Good point. For many repubs, it’s always about the money.
