It's coming down like crazy, thunder is rumbling. The Capitol is about 2 miles from my house.

That last pic.
We have to learn to not outclever ourselves.
Don't use "AstroTurf".
Just say " These protestors are paid by super rich guys!"
Rs only win by keeping it gut level, and keeping things close enough that cheating works.
Half (or more) of people reading that sign won't know what astroturfing means!

Since the legislature isn't meeting today, I'm hoping for heavy downpours to coincide with the 'gathering'.

Lol... what a dumbass:

Craig Ladyman of Rockford also attended the April 30 protest and said the widespread attention on that protest has made the Lansing Capitol "the spearhead of the world in terms of our liberty."

"Just as this coronavirus spreads so can liberty,” he said.

I saw a bigger crowd at my local Meijer today.

These fools are mostly the laughing stock of Michigan. What snowflakes that they have to carry an umbrella. I can't help but wonder if they were in WWII they'd have asked for umbrellas.

Pathetic.

That sign reminds me that I wanted to pen an email to Governor Whitmer thanking her for being sensible and caring about the citizens of Michigan. I think I'll do that right now.

If there are two things gun-humpers fucking hate, it's peace and love.

This is going to drive them beserk!
