We are becoming a nation of the lawless.
Sometimes law enforcement or appropriate legal action arrives too late.
This morning, I learned about an election law violator. A call from a contact in Lansing gave me the heads up on a high profile lawbreaker in Traverse City. Apparently, Michael Moore thought it would be good to let people not just know how he voted, but to broadcast the image of his ballot explicitly:
Just voted!! Woohoo!! HILLARY, dammit! A vote for kindness and compassion and AGAINST misogyny, racism & greed. #USA pic.twitter.com/xclQliSmS3

Gosh, haven’t we been warned incessantly by the media constantly about how showing pictures of our ballots is illegal?
Certainly in Michigan it is.
Yeah, it has hurt to see the crappy lying, out-of-context, and completely overplayed Hillary ads in the last couple of days.
There are fairly uninformed people who cannot see the bigger picture, and will allow such messaging to influence their voting sanction. Whether Hillary provides any benefit to the nation on any level is of no concern to them, it just that their feelings are hurt, and we don’t want a ‘misogynist bully’ in the white house.
Our precious cupcakes, frosted at the indoctrination centers we call higher education, cannot handle such unchecked machismo, yet ignore countless real crimes of the one who would also laugh as she gets a rapist off. Even the slightest off-color joke, comment made by a man who has aggregately enjoyed incredible success is a nuclear nightmare, yet the trusted mechanisms of justice are corrupted permanently by a family that would put the mafia to shame.
I have honestly had a revelation during this election cycle.
Donald Trump will likely be our next president.
It should really come as no surprise, but due to the nature of folks holding their voting choices close to the vest, the media has seemed content to report that he is already an also-ran candidate. We know better, and so do some on the other side.
Yes, on November 8, you Joe Blow, Steve Blow, Bob Blow, Billy Blow, all the Blows get to go and blow up the whole goddamn system because it’s your right. Trump’s election is going to be the biggest ‘f*** you’ ever recorded in human history and it will feel good.
Yeah. We quoted that guy.
Truly, if in fact he gets it, all of those inbetwixt he-and-I are likely to get it too. Yes, he is now screaming it is taken out of context, and that we should all go see his movie to see why, but he identified the underlying (and rightful) angst that actually exists.
There is no doubt that Hillary Clinton is the man, the machine, the mechanization of oppression and crap policy that leaves middle America feeling like a lone protester in Tianemen square after all of the cameras are turned off.
She offers more-of-the-same. And by golly there are few, if any folks who think that is a good thing.
Especially “more” of the same.
And of course, the tried and true ‘what is the definition of insanity?’ question comes in two parts. The first part of doing the same thing and expecting change is the gimme, but leaving in place the system that produces the same thing is the viral component that must be recognized as a continuation of it.
Michigan has the honor of the finale political bash!
Michigan gets painted red by Monday night.
Team Trump has spared no effort in making sure voters of the mitten state know they are important to this presidential effort. No fewer than a dozen stops in the last month, most in the past few days, and polling that is showing a rewarding trend for victory.
The Trump rally finale is nowhere else but in Michigan, at a late night event in Grand Rapids.
All the players, Trump, Pence, et al, will gather the troops for a pre-election celebratory whoop-dee-do Monday night. Get your tickets to join Donald Trump, Governor Mike Pence, and team in Grand Rapids, MI tomorrow, Nov. 7th at 11:00 PM for the biggest rally yet! Details about the event below:

Democrats might just want to sit this one out, or .. join the winning team, as the revelations about cheating during the primary pop up. Bernie Sanders supports are finding out how much of a dump Hillary took on them, and how they will NEVER get a fair chance if they fall in line.
Make America Great Again Michigan!
Along with that Rick Snyder character, that Nolan Finley Character, etc...
In case you haven’t caught the latest in the 24-hour cycles, there was an “incident” at a Trump speech in Reno yesterday.
Video below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5yz4wYhrQg
Bottom line: Trump is okay and continued his speech shortly afterwards (and thanking local law enforcement afterwards).
The agitator, self proclaimed “republican” (along with Hillary Clinton contributor & supporter…go figure) Austyn Crites was subdued and restrained by the crowd until he was taken into custody by Secret Service.
In an interesting twist that will make the LGBTIQ-crowd go into a major meltdown is this little blurb (which obviously WON’T be widely reported reasons soon-to-be made crystal clear):
“Donald Newton, 47, of Santa Rosa, Calif., was right next to the bedlam when it happened and took video of the immediate aftermath.
“He had something on his belly. I don’t know what it was,” Newton said. “Somebody yelled gun and everyone jumped on him. My friend put his knee on his head but he kept getting up.”
Newton’s partner Michael, 45, of Santa Rosa, was the one who put his knee on Crites’ head.
“I was trying to get the Secret Service’s attention for them to respond,” he said. “They didn’t respond. I thought I had to do something. I put my knee on what I think was his head so I’m not really sure. There were five guys on him and he was moving. I tried to help them immobilize him.”
Say, Isn’t Donald Trump scheduled to be in Grand Rapids on Monday?
It might not hurt to keep a closer eye on republican malcontents like Brian Calley, Nolan Finley and a laundry list of other unstable elements in the establishment class.
Who knows WHAT is going through their minds?
Trump Palin Pence ..Oh My.
