#20  Legal? Options?

Wut, the water violating stay-in-reservoir executive orders?

#19  Whitless was just on the ABC News saying, "We're investigating all out legal options'. So, the State will sue the pants off somebody! That'll make it right!

#17  Whitless will try to attribute the catastrophe to Flint's water lead levels and (3...2...1....) white suprem-acist protestors
with guns!

#16  Radio news says that the word coming out of Michigan is....Gretchen is pushing ahead of mail-in ballots.

Reminds me of the Bee article the other day about making sure ballots are distributed to the dead.

#14  Where was Whitless? She clearly refused to repair these dangerous structures. Just sayin.

#13  Gee, what a coincidence, now the dams are going bad...right in the middle of a so-called health crisis. Of course, like much of the infrastructure in the US, it's probably gone to Hades.

BTW, doesn't the President want to do a little something with infrastructure projects?

#12  The dams obviously failed due to COVID-19 in the water so any resulting deaths will be attributed to COVID-19. Maybe I shouldn't give them any ideas....

#11   3 dams so far. Downstream needs to get the hell out.

#6  ^ I have a cousin who lives in Thousand Oaks. They had some serious fires there like five or so years ago. I said - 'What are they calling it now, Hundred Oaks?' She didn't think it was very funny.

#5  That means California is about due for another forest fire.

#4  $10 sez she'll be banging the tin cup any minute now, like Cuomo and Newsom, begging for a federal bailout.

#1  Betcha Whitmer completely forgets social distancing for evacuees?
