MI AG to Trump: "time to stop obsessing about those women from Michigan. You're not our type."

[marmar]

(Detroit News) Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel fired back at criticism from President Donald Trump Sunday morning, telling the Republican to "stop obsessing about those women from Michigan."

The exchange started just after midnight when Trump tweeted that Nessel, a Democrat, should be "sanctioned" for stating that she would seek penalties for lawyers who filed suits against the state's election results with claims that featured "intentional misrepresentations."

"These lawyers are true patriots who are fighting for the truth and, obviously, getting very close. AG should be sanctioned. Fight on!" Trump posted at 12:28 a.m. Sunday, sharing an article from the conservative news outlet Breitbart.

Nessel, Michigan's top law enforcement official, responded by tweeting that "a patriot is a person who vigorously defends their country against its enemies and detractors."

"History will reveal which you were. I wish you loved your country half as much as you love yourself," Nessel said. "Also, time to stop obsessing about those women from Michigan. You’re not our type." .........(more)

1. Spot fucking on! AG Nessel doesn't have time to suffer fools.

[Iliyah]

2. LOL . .

[ProfessorGAC]

3. My First Reaction, Too

LOL !
She pinned the moron to the wall.

[wnylib]

22. Sure did. I LOVE it.

[Ohiogal]

4. Wow, she nailed it!

Makes me want to leave Hillbilly Ohio and move to Michigan!

[Cirque du So-What]

5. I've pretty much cast my lot on the Buckeye State

I’ll make my last stand here and do what I can to make it a better place (including politically) while I can.

[Ohiogal]

6. Yeah, I'm pretty much "Stuck in Ohio" too

As long as my kids still live here. I wonder if Ohio could ever turn around to blue like Michigan did.

[Cirque du So-What]

7. I hope so

My region (NE) is already blue-ish, despite pockets of Dogpatch. Other regions are less likely to come around - especially rural areas.

[Ohiogal]

8. I'm beginning to think all areas south of Columbus are hopeless.

Are you in my district? 13th- Tim Ryan’s

[Cirque du So-What]

10. Nope...much worse than that

Bob Gibbs

[HUAJIAO]

16. Cincinnati also ?

But, yeah I know what you mean.

[Ohiogal]

17. Well no not the urban Cincinnati area

[calimary]

20. Welcome to DU, HUAJIAO!

It's a shame, isn't it? When you start trying to wrap your brain around the idea that some people can't be helped - because they WON'T be helped. They won't even accept the premise that they need help and that help is readily available to them.

What's that wise and golden challenge that anonymous programs always pose? "First you have to admit you have a problem."

[HUAJIAO]

21. Thanks for the welcome...

None of it surprises me one bit.

The American education system has been under attack since... well, before Nixon.... Now we see the results...

37. Portage County is raging red

Sadly, that is where I am. All of about 40 minutes from Cuyahoga County.

My rep is Dave Joyce. He voted with Trump 92% of the time. He claims, like all lying Republicans, that he is “concerned about the debt.”

[Cirque du So-What]

39. I like Portage County

I get the impression that Kent is a tiny island of blue, however.

[llmart]

28. "Hillbilly Ohio"

LOL - Sort of like that guy who wrote "Hillbilly Elegy" who was from Ohio.

I can laugh at the moniker because I'm originally from Ohio and am now in Michigan. Make no mistake about it, we have our fair share of hicks here also - mostly north of the tri-county, metro Detroit area.

[lonely bird]

38. Not to mention Hillsdale College

Talk about whack jobs.

[llmart]

40. I'm not very familiar with that particular college but...

isn't there a DU'er who lives there who is always talking about how he hates that he's surrounded by trumpsters? Can't remember his user name right now.

[catbyte]

9. I just love these women who are saving my state--and us.

As I've said in the past, the 2018 votes for AG Nessel, Governor Whitmer, and SOS Benson were the most important state votes in my lifetime. Now if we can un-gerrymander Michigan in time for the 2022 election, maybe we can jettison the MIGOP-dominated legislature and really undo the damage a decade of MIGOP mismanagement has wrought.

[Cha]

26. ..

[llmart]

29. +1000

I'm with you on all of that. Undo the gerrymandering!

[Ohiogal]

11. I'm envious of your state leadership, marmar

We’re supposed to get new district maps in time for the next election here in Ohio, too.

In reality 45% of Ohioans voted for Biden, but the GOP has a stranglehold on state government. This is not representative of who we are and it needs to change.

[ad121rome]

12. Well said.

The pompous ass will be gone in a few more day, let’s be glad that so many pro democracy democrats took the time to cast a vote. Thanks.

[Ford_Prefect]

13. I'm getting really tired of the violent code words in tRump's messaging.

He's not talking about legal reprimands. He's advocating to his partisans to murder AG Nessel.

[pandr32]

14. I love her now

[demmiblue]

15. K&R

[dalton99a]

18. Beautiful.

[BobTheSubgenius]

23. What do you reckon his reaction has been?

It would appear that it didn't spark an hours-long stream-of-semi-consciousness rage tweets. More's the pity. It would be a nice denouement to to a totally lackluster Xmas, wouldn't it?

[keithbvadu2]

24. They don't remind him of Ivanka.

They don't remind him of Ivanka.

[Cha]

25. Yeah, FO trump.. quit tweet Stalking,

you psycho pervert

[Lock him up.]

27. Bazinga!

I would have added "You're the most repulsive type on earth." but I don't know if it would fit in the 280-characters space.

[MustLoveBeagles]

30. LOL

That's how you deal with a bully folks. This is going to leave a mark.

[birdographer]

31. Slight correction..

He doesn't love himself. He hates himself. He does, however, love money. And that's all he loves, at least all that he can hold in his hands (unlike power and dominance). Nobody loves him, never has.

[marmar]

32. True. Deep down he is racked by self-doubt, insecurity and self-loathing.

All the false bravado is a way to mask it. The DSM-5 daddy issues run deep with that one.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. He hates himself and he takes it out on us all. Thanks MAGAts. BTW he probably

hates you Deplorables most of all.

[riversedge]

33. BEST response she could have give lumpy dumpy Trumpy! You go gal

[llashram]

35. Smack him down!!!

Michigan has such strong leaders. Michiganders-Michiganians should really be proud of their leadership choices.

[North Shore Chicago]

36. So proud of the women of Michigan!

My neighbor to the north is doing an amazing job of neutering this twit!
