MOD EDIT - while it is significant local news to those of us in southeastern Michigan as well as the Flint area, this thread kind of went down the road of....yeah. - LSA

His job as AG is to uphold the laws of the state of Michigan.

It's cool to take things, laws if you will, that >60% of the people vote "YES" on, and do all you can to subversively stop it because you have a personal issue with it, thus going against the very job description of the job you have that allows you that power.

And people say "no politics" and "it's too soon to discuss" and "this is a sports blog..."

Yet this blog entry is fine.

It's politics, not sports related, but doesn't involve guns...

I don't get it.

All I said was we just had the worst mass shooting in US history and people were talking about all other kinds of OT stuff, not even acknowledging it. I found that a bit peculiar, even for a "sports site" that talks about Flint water, what are you drinking tonight, favorite movies, etc.

If you consider that stupid, then so be it.

I was assuming you said something dismissive about it and got jumped on. My bad.

HOWEVA, you should've just started a thread with some info. Did you do that? Probably would've gotten locked, but I don't think you'd have gotten jumped on for it if you kept things as nonpartisan as possible. Pretty much everybody here is anti-massacre.

I'm not sure if more is expected from her because she is a public servant and Trump isn't, but man, Trump is pretty much an asshole.  Even before all this political stuff.  

She wasn't liked in 2008 and she's pretty much hated now.  That was without Benghazi or the email scandal.  I wish I could be a poli-sci student 20 years from now when they study this election season.

On the one hand I'm not surprised that more charges are being brought against the people that let Flint down.

OTOH I'm surprised Hotel Putingrad isn't sticking up for the head of our state goverment doing whatever he damn well wants. /s
