ABC covered the Flint protest with Jesse Jackson and Michael Moore

[malaise]

Arrest that scumbag governor

[Siwsan]

1. I'm trying to remember if I've heard ANYONE come to Snyder's defense

Certainly none of the 'clown car' has spoken about our disaster while both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have called out Snyder for the disgrace that he is. (I don't closely follow Martin O'Malley, so I'm not sure if he has said anything, but feel confident I know where his sympathies would be.)

[The Blue Flower]

2. There can't possibly be anything more INdefensible

Is there a drop of humanity in Snyder?

[Siwsan]

3. Well, people defended Cheney.

And he is about as vile as a human can be.

[malaise]

4. What you have not heard is a single member of the media asking a

ReTHUG Presidential candidate or a ReTHUG Senator, Congressperson, Governor, State,local or whatever condemn it and suggest he resigns.

This is their plan for everywhere. There is no more society - they are running a business.
Poisoning African-American and poor white children is no fucking biggie when it's 'business'.

The neo-liberal model is where it's at.

They do not give a flying fuck about life. Remember now many of them have links to private prisons - what a nice way to engineer the way to prison for many of them in a few years.

We have not given enough thought to the cruelty that's in the minds of the business school and finance posse.

[Siwsan]

5. I shudder to think of what would have happened without Congressman Kildee and Rachel Maddow

He is a local guy who has been pressuring and pressuring Snyder to do something and he made sure this story hit the national conscience. He also went over Snyder's head, and contacted the White House to ask for something to be done. It was only AFTER that hit the news that Snyder did anything.

And Rachel, well, she is just flat out my hero.

[malaise]

6. Yep Rachel started it

Flint's mayor was good too - don't forget her.

ABC is giving it good coverage every day

[Siwsan]

7. Mayor Weaver came in just recently, but she has been VERY responsive

The previous mayor, Dane Walling, got caught in a real mess, but he also listened to Snyder when he shouldn't have. But to be fair, he didn't have a whole lot of power, due to the 'emergency manager' situation. I like him immensely and he did a whole lot of good in revitalizing Flint.

I've said time and time again that we are blessed to have 100% Democratic representation, in the Flint area and they all tried to right this, as soon as it became obvious what had happened. Had it been otherwise, well, I don't even want to think about it.

[valerief]

8. Better yet, drop a house on him.

Michigan deserves a Glinda now.

[malaise]

10. Nah - make all of them who perpetrated this

must be forced to drink the water - for an entire week

[valerief]

11. Ha! And they only get soup--with the same water--to eat!

[malaise]

12. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahha

[JCMach1]

9. Replace him with a FEDERAL Emergency Manager!

[malaise]

13. hehehehe

No that's the first thing to be undone - Flint must elect their own people

[JCMach1]

14. Meant the Governor! But yeah, agree 1000% the Emergency Manager Law has to go...

talk about taxation without representation...
