    To say that discounts elderly population, southern flock from outbreak areas and other things Florida faced early on though.

    Michigan has a fairly old population too and you have no idea about other risk factors. For example, Michigan has a higher percentage of obese people than Florida does. You're just making assumptions that Florida's population is at higher risk than Michigan's is. But the bottom line is that since shutdown measures have taken effect, MI has done far better than FL has. Your original point, that MI hasn't done better than FL despite having more rigid shutdown rules is simply wrong.

    I think you would not have been called to question so much had you not written how you understand people's frustration with the MI governor. That is indeed a matter of saying something different.

    The people of Michigan is not equal to the militia. I should have been clearer. I understand the everyday persons frustration, but hate the militia goons.

    She thinks she has the right to take our freedoms given to all Americans in her state thought the Constitution of The United States of America. The people can work with masks on. Let them work... make a living.

    She and the other Dem governors think they can play dictators with everyone's lives...

    Now what those idiots did is plain stupid and they need to face justice for their actions.

    Those are very misleading statistics. I assume those numbers are based on total positive tests. Florida is testing slightly more than half as many people as Michigan is with over twice the population. But yea, Michigan has surged from 2.6% to 3.1% and Florida has improved from 11.1% to 10.2%. It's pretty obvious who is doing a better job controlling the pandemic.

    With a vaguely Trumpian mixed message.

    If I were Ralph Northam and Tim Walz I'd demand extra security detail so no domestic terrorist militias (inspired by their leader Trump) attempt to kidnap me like those domestic terrorist thugs in Michigan tried to do with Whitmer.

    I'm just curious, why are right wing terrorist groups called militias? If these guys were muslims, they'd be called a terror cel.

    I also like how the DOJ couldn't be bothered to speak to this situation today, but they did find the time to press release 2 Portland kids being charged with misdemeanors.

    Yeah - that was an odd contribution from tilly. It's misleading and irrelevant.

    And Trump is calling for the DOJ and Barr to arrest Democrats and his political foes - not to go after right wing terrorist's who want to kill a US Governor

    ‘Where are all of the arrests?’: Trump demands Barr lock up his foes

    Trump is becoming so desperate in his losing campaign that he is creating an incredibly dangerous environment for our country right now. He clearly has big problems with strong women.

    Surprising no one, Fox News did not cover this story last night on any of their garbage shows.

    Are those numbers inaccurate? They are from the same NYT metrics that others are using. Is it really "misleading" to just post raw data? I attached no caveats to the info. Numbers are numbers.

    Again, not true. I have continually ripped Trump for his handling. One can be both optimistic and hate Trump's handling at the same time. At least reasonable folks can, no?

    This is the America Trump has unleashed. It will get worse before it gets better. Asking Barr to indict his political foes is something that happens in a banana republic. This is disgusting on so many levels
