Michigan Gov says her coronavirus authoritarianism doesn't matter because it's snowing…
[Right Scoop] Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has used the coronavirus pandemic to become the left-wing authoritarian she’s always dreamed of becoming. And now she’s justifying it in the most absurd way, suggesting it’s ok because the heavy snowfall they are expecting will force people to stay at home anyway. # id) ?>

9 Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Americans, I present the future Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee.

IOW the person the Democrats would wish to replace Plugz after his mind went completely during a putative first year in office.

This is what our other major political party has devolved into.

People in cars extended the lockdown? Its more like she's hoping to punish everyone because she doesn't like people complaining about her policies.
