Yes! I’m from Mi. and I was disappointed that the first ones tried got away with an “entrapment” excuse.\* This latest group? Yeah I hope they rot. \*Entrapped guys were told: “Hey let’s kidnap Governor Whitmer (though I doubt that’s what they called her) 'cause we don’t agree with her and either try her for treason. We’ll find her guilty and sentence her to death, or we could set her afloat in the middle of Lake Michigan in a row boat”. These guys said basically, “Hell yes! Great idea, when do we start.” I don’t get it really. ---

[Local voting guide riddled with inaccuracies.](https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/10/incorrect-voter-information-mailed-to-some-cumberland-county-residents.html) I know it’s not national, but I live in PA and it caught my eye.

Not mentioning online voting, giving bad information about polling places and districts, inaccurate information about registering-pretty much any info you’d want to find. They say they’re going to try and get out the right information via a robocall, but we all know how popular those can be for folks. ---

Mike is gonna look so cute in a burka . . . but I’m sure being free from Islam is different. What am I saying? I already know of conservatives that clearly state that Islam is not a religion because religion is only that which proclaims Jesus. Which means, to some of them, that since Catholicism ‘’‘’‘worships’‘’‘’ Mary it isn’t Christianity and therefore is not a real religion. ---

An attempt to overthrow the government and kill the Vice President of the US seems to get you no more than 5 years. Or, you just walk around and bloviate about how mean people are to you. ---
