Governor Whitmer proclaims November 27th as “M” day
November 24th, 2021 at 11:12 AM ^
We are doomed. Sorry. Had to.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:15 AM ^
I was going to say generous for a Sparty, but apparently her kids chose the correct school.
I do think the "Whereas" makes the line "Whereas Ohioans proudly sing a song called "We Don't Give A Damn For the Whole State of Michigan" but spend the vast majority of their time crossing out the letter M on campus and throughout the state." much funnier.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:19 AM ^
Yah, that was a nice burn
November 24th, 2021 at 11:21 AM ^
What's always amused me, having once lived down there where they even do it in bars, not just the 'Shoe, is that they sing that preschool-tuned song and then right after, do their "Buckeye Bounce" to "Seven Nation Army," a song by a band from...
November 24th, 2021 at 12:06 PM ^
The "shoe" is just a nicer term for elongated toilet bowl.
November 24th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
That is a novel idea. I've never heard it before!
November 24th, 2021 at 11:26 AM ^
Here, let Me help you...

Won't Whitmer be up for reelection in the not too distant future?
There is no way that anyone in Spartyland is support UM Saturday,
Go Blue!
November 24th, 2021 at 1:04 PM ^
I was in a meeting with a Sparty today and Sparty wants Michigan lose by more than they lost by. LOL.
November 24th, 2021 at 2:02 PM ^
If you asked a Spartan fan if they had to choose between Michigan and Michigan State both winning or both losing their choice would be decisive for both teams losing.

Coluxbus has a nice ring to it.

I want to bash my head off of my desk anytime I hear the actual phrase (or a reference to) "Who's got it better than us".
November 24th, 2021 at 11:21 AM ^
If you do that we will all have it better than you.
November 24th, 2021 at 12:34 PM ^
you'd think his dad went to purdue or something
November 24th, 2021 at 11:27 AM ^
Or, put your fist through a bar window. Name checks out.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:49 AM ^
Don't hold back on our account.
November 24th, 2021 at 12:25 PM ^
I say go for it
November 24th, 2021 at 12:59 PM ^
X-rays or it didn't happen.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:21 AM ^
I won’t bring up politics, but can I mention that I’d hit that?
November 24th, 2021 at 12:53 PM ^
Strangely. Agreed
November 24th, 2021 at 2:29 PM ^
I'll third that opinion.
November 24th, 2021 at 6:45 PM ^
You ain’t lying…nothing political about that ?
November 24th, 2021 at 11:24 AM ^
Now this is worthy of a grimace emoji?
November 24th, 2021 at 11:26 AM ^
I voted for Whitmer and will again but this kind of stuff is just politically dumb. It won't win her a single vote in re-election and just provides her opponents with an easy opportunity to bash her over something that's ultimate completely irrelevant.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:29 AM ^
taking a piss at ohio is never dumb.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:30 AM ^
Just some light hearted fun. No reason anyone should make a big deal out of this or take it too seriously.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:33 AM ^
No reason anyone should make a big deal out of this
The entire history of American politics is stuffed to bursting with stupid, dumb-ass things that voters have taken enormously seriously.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:36 AM ^
I asked pretty please with sugar on top to not turn this into a political dog fight. You’re very close to throwing the first punch.
November 24th, 2021 at 12:28 PM ^
My problem is that this isn’t “free.”
I went to U of M and my wife’s entire family went to MSU. When Whitmer did the “rivalry” thing week, my first thought was “ how much did this cost taxpayers?” The time, effort, resources.
I voted for her in the last election and say that only because I’m not complaining because she’s outside of my political interest.
But this stuff is dumb. We have people (in every single state) who have no food or shelter for Thanksgiving tomorrow.
More than zero dollars of resources went to do this. I don’t care if it was $50 or a couple grand, buy some people in need some warm jackets instead.
November 24th, 2021 at 12:43 PM ^

We also have a billionaire carmaker/space entrepreneur trolling the World Food Programme on twitter.
November 24th, 2021 at 12:53 PM ^
Spending a little time on one thing does not preclude spending resources on another. You're not "taking away" money or resources from some other program by doing this.
November 24th, 2021 at 1:05 PM ^
I would make the argument that engagement with constituents is an important part of government. That doesn't have to just be getting their input on bills; it can also be sharing a laugh on social media. In theory, these types of interactions make government officials appear more accessible, which may encourage voters in an indirect way to engage more with the civic process. You can argue that we should spend less on this engagement than basic needs (which I'm sure we do), but this is still a function of government and we should spend at least *some* money on it.
November 24th, 2021 at 2:12 PM ^
All I see is a tweet so overall, less time, effort, and resources than it took for you to complain about it.
Now, if you've found a way to convert a single tweet into a $50 warm jacket, I'd say you've solved a lot of problems.
If not, then please kindly shut the fuck up, because whining about the "government waste" of an effin' tweet is exactly the sort of disingenuous political crap OP begged us to avoid.

I’m surprised my response triggered such vitriol. I’m front line medical and handle the Covid cases for cancer patients. I’ve spent the last 20 months being understaffed and under supplied and am watching Covid cases start to rise again. I posted my comment while taking my one 4-minute break of the day.
I don’t really give a fuck about politics. I was posting some really superficial thoughts about it.
Like, the nightmares I have every night have nothing to do with government spending.
My super-strongly-felt comment is that I hope everyone wears their masks tomorrow, EVEN if they’re vaccinated.

A dude whose business acumen led to him selling branded steaks and meat out of an electronics/gadget store won the presidency by claiming he'd build a giant border wall and the country on the other side would pay for it, just because...
Don't ever underestimate the stupidity/gullibility of the American voter.
November 24th, 2021 at 1:07 PM ^
also, that same guy posted a photo of himself eating tacos on Cinco de Mayo and people loved him for it
November 24th, 2021 at 12:26 PM ^
I am actually not a fan of her at all but despite the fact that I don’t agree with her politics, I think that things like this are fun. Support for a common theme should be one thing that can unite people who have different political views. We need more of that in this society, even if it is silly and lighthearted.
November 24th, 2021 at 12:38 PM ^
I voted against Whitmer and will continue to vote against Whitmer. I don't care if she put on a uniform and kicked the winning field goal against Ohio State, I would still vote against her. If she had a son and he was the number one all-time high school football player and picked Michigan, I would still vote against her.
November 24th, 2021 at 1:05 PM ^
No one cares.
November 24th, 2021 at 1:33 PM ^
Remember that Alice Cooper song from the fall of 1972: "I wanna be elected"
November 24th, 2021 at 10:19 PM ^
It's fine. It humanizes the bureaucracy a little bit.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:28 AM ^
She's such a PROUD Spartan, however both her kids happen to go to another university.
You know the school -- C Woodson
Ironic.
Go Blue.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:29 AM ^
M Stands For Murder.
November 24th, 2021 at 11:31 AM ^
O stands for Oral Hygiene, something foreign to Buckeyes, but there have been great advancements in the field
November 24th, 2021 at 1:07 PM ^
No, "O" stands for "O my God, stop having sex with your first cousin, you inbred Ohio pervert!"
November 24th, 2021 at 11:32 AM ^
You just used the letter. Twice! You ok?
November 24th, 2021 at 12:01 PM ^
THE Ohio State Difference!
Oh, wait...
November 24th, 2021 at 2:17 PM ^
I cannot tell! Suffice to say, is one of the words the Knights of MI cannot hear!
