#1 She needs a mental health exam mandated by the legislature hopefully finding a clear reason to remove her from office due to mental health issues. This goes for the rest of the lockdown governors, as soon as possible, start an online petition every state. Make it a new years revolution.

#2 This bitch is NUTS! You want an armed rebellion? This is how you get one. What possible constitutional bases does she have for these actions?

The legislature needs to take this to court for an immediate injunction, and requisition the national guard to take her into custody article 31 mobilization (allows the guard to enforce civilian laws overriding posse comatatus).

#3 Maybe she wants the average laid-off worker to 'feel the pain and join' her strongest supporters, folks on welfare.

#4 Maybe, as a working hypothesis, she's no longer sane?

#5 "no longer sane" assumes she was sane to begin with.

But congratulations to the people of Michigan for electing Whitmer. You get the government you deserve.

#6 (allows the guard to enforce civilian laws overriding posse comatatus)

Actually posse comitatus only applies to federal military not the states. As long as state troops are under state control and pay, they are not subject to the restrictions.

#7 She is working really hard to be a lamp post decoration in the town square.

#8 Fuggedabouddit Jake, it's Michigan. They will probably re-elect her.

#9 OberGovernor Gretchen has been wearing a lot of leather and snakeskin lately in her publicity stills. She reminds me of Jane Badler in that TV miniseries "V" about an invasion of lizard-like aliens with a taste for live food.

She has also been rather pissy since the courts said she can't use a WWII era law to grant herself the Ring of Ultimate Power.

#10 The good people of Michigan are trying to impeach Whitmer for violating the state constitution and abusing her powers.

#11 lifeless eyes
black eyes
like a doll's eyes.
When she comes at you she doesn't seem to be livin'... until she bites you

#12 No longer the land of the free. They need to play a get out of jail card.
