It will be a long four years.
Sometimes you wonder how these idiots were raised. Like do they not have mothers? They must hate their mothers.

Yesterday, I got a bullshit phone message that records show that I have back taxes. Which is entirely false. The revenge and retribution has begun.
Its the established Trumpian MO to harass with threats of tax problems. Also, I know exactly why I would be targeted.

White supremacists march through Howell
Group hung Nazi and KKK banners on highway overpass

About a dozen masked white supremacists marched through downtown Howell on Saturday, chanting Heil Hitler and carrying signs with messages like White Lives Matter and End the War on White Children.
Howell, which lies between Lansing and Detroit, has long had a reputation for extremist activity. It became known as a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) hotspot in the 1970s and 80s when infamous Michigan KKK Grand Dragon Robert Miles held hate rallies and cross burnings at his Cohoctah Township property north of Howell until his death in 1992.
That reputation has lingered, continually fueled by incidents such as a well-publicized auction of a Klan robe in 2005, and hate messages posted online by Howell students in 2014 after a basketball game with a racially-mixed Grand Blanc basketball team. Community leaders have worked hard to fight that image, including a symbolic scrubbing of the steps of the historic Livingston County courthouse in 1995 following a KKK rally.
So it was no small irony that Saturdays demonstration began on the lawn of that same historic courthouse, before the protestors marched down Grand River to the Howell Carnegie District Library, where they were told to leave by a library board member. At that point, Stacey Farrell, who lives in the Howell area, told Michigan Advance she came upon the group.

PS: While its history is full of rotters, I also know good people from Howell.

(1,946 posts)7. We tend to think of Michigan as only Detroit aka Motown
Because frankly, Michigan is popping only because of Detroit, the city gives flavor to the state.
But much of it is bland redneckville.
