Wow.....Just like Obama's Czar's and the EPA dictators...
Governor Rick Snyder (R-Mich.) and his Republican Reich will enact a law that would impose "financial martial law" upon struggling communities in the form of "financial managers" that would have the power to abrogate contracts at will and supersede the democratic process. There's been a lot of recent media attention focused on a similar disregard for the public will in Wisconsin, but what's happening in Michigan really makes Scott Walker look like an amateur.
Michigan Set To Enact Sweeping 'Financial Martial Law' Bill
Michigan lawmakers are on the verge of approving a bill that would enable the governor to appoint "emergency managers" -- officials with unilateral power to make sweeping changes to cities facing financial troubles.
Under the legislation, the Michigan Messenger reports, the governor could declare a "financial emergency" in towns or school districts. He could then appoint a manager to fire local elected officials, break contracts, seize and sell assets, eliminate services - and even eliminate whole cities or school districts without any public input.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
Bf, don't you think the swastika and US Constitution toilet paper are a bit much?
Wow, that's not what the bills intent is at all.
I know nobody outside of MI actually knows anything about it, so your gross ignorance is expected, but flat out no. You're incorrect, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. These financial administrators are being put in place to cure the massive spending problems our state has.

Wow..... "SWEEPING 'FINANCIAL MARTIAL LAW' LEGISLATION!"
.........Sounds BEAUTIFUL!
So let me get this straight. Government intervention and regulation of private corporations is good, but government regulation and intervention of government is bad? Uh huh. So since this is the worst crisis humanity has ever faced, what are the powers of these administrators?

Yes..... YOUR idiotic and incomprehensible understanding of what our founding fathers created, must be, not only ignored, but systemically rejected by every American across the board. YOUR the worst disaster any state or federal government has ever encountered, and history (socialism) bears that out. Not only should we IGNORE people of your ilk, we should run you out of our country or hang you from the nearest tree for treason!
Lets see, you are angry at them for the methods they are using to control costs.
So you want to use the symbol of a group who murdered 6 million jews and other "undesireables", and tried to conquer the world.
And since this maneuver may not fit with most people's idea of a democracy, you want to claim their actions are, not only unconstitutional, but that the GOP is actually using the US Constitution to clean their asses?
Yeah, I think its a gross distortion of the facts. I think it is a disgusting use of visual images to try and sway people with an inaccurate emotional appeal.
In otherwords, your visuals are bullshit.

"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

I guess that whole "We should tone down the hostile political rhetoric" is gone now?
Kinda short-lived, wasn't it?
