I wish you were describing Ill-Annoy, America’s North Korea.
Michigan in reality is a very conservative state.
Shall issue CCW. Open carry for everyone no permit required.
Banned queer marriage and queer partnerships. Banned affirmative action. Voter ID must be shown to vote.

Every thinking human being knew when they were striking and get these sweetheart deals that the day of reckoning was coming for the pyramid scheme.....that day has arrived and they’re the ones left holding the bag....tough Sh!#!!!! Should have elected honest conservative people!!!
