And the horse you rode in on

Thanks, but no thanks, Gov. Snyder

It's kind of surprising, in light of our primary elections here in Michigan this past Tuesday, that no pundits are noting that on the republican side, GOP voters soundly rejected our current Governor, Rick Snyder.  Despite all his supporters claims of a Michigan comeback led by Snyder (dubious, at best), his hand picked successor, Brian Calley, barely topped 25% and fell woefully short of republican nominee and Trump sycophant Bill Schuette's 50%.

But when you poison thousands of children in a major city, hire companies that feed maggots to our prisoners, and raise taxes on the elderly to give tax cuts to corporations to create non-existent jobs, and your state's roads remain among the poorest in the nation, it probably isn't so surprising that your heir apparent fares so poorly amongst the electorate.

Here's hoping that in November's general election plenty more Michiganders see through the republican bullshit and send Schuette packing as well--Governor Gretchen (Whitmer) has a nice ring to it.

Fuck Donald Trump,

Governor Albatross

Thanks but no thanks--eight years of republican boobs is enough

Michigan's next election for governor is just a little more than seven months away and current Lt. Governor Brian Calley has just released his first ad featuring our current Governor, Rick Snyder...who, despite claims of a Michigan "comeback," will most be remembered for poisoning Flint's children, feeding maggot infested food to our inmates, and allowing Detroit Public Schools to deteriorate so badly that fungus in the school's bathrooms flourishes better than Detroit's students.

Right wing nutjob and our current Attorney General, Bill Schuette, was quick to denounce the ads, but one seriously has to wonder why--Snyder's approval rating is underwater and in the age of Donald Trump, one can't imagine the republican base being interested in pantywaists like Calley and Snyder.

Still, good times for Democrats--the Snyder administration's incompetence isn't quite up to the Trump administration's standards, but it should be enough to at least give us a chance in an off year election this November.

Fuck Donald Trump,
