Michigan governor bans selling seeds "to fight the virus." But keeps lottery ticket sales moving

Here's my edit of Tucker Carlson's take on corruption in the Democrat-ruled state of Michigan: 

Michigan's governor is a Democrat, Gretchen Whitmer, and she's issued some orders she claims are scientifically sound to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Among the thing's she banned were: selling paint, plumbing supplies, flooring, seeds and gardening supplies.   No one asked her how banning stores from selling these things would defeat the virus, because virtually all Mainstream Media reporters support the Democrat party, and they don't want to ask Dem politicians questions that would make them look bad.

Oddly, she allowed stores to continue selling one of the most useful tools: lottery tickets.

The Dem governor also banned Michigan residents from traveling to their own homes.  She claimed this was rational and legal, though of course she never cited any scientific justification for all of this.
She simply orders us to do as she demands, claiming that keeping residents in their homes is comparable to beating Nazi Germany.

And if you disagree, the Left will scream that you're a RAAACIST who wants to kill people.

In Whitmer's view all you deplorables should shut up, and if they don't, she'll order her police to arrest you.

That's her position. She wants her citizens quiet and subservient. Why? Because quiet and subservient people won't interfere with what she plans to do.

And what is she planning to do?  She's trying to merge her state's government with the state Democratic Party.

Actually you shouldn't be surprised. No one as mediocre as Gretchen Whitmer could become governor without the party brass backing her.  And as governor she's returning that favor in spades.
Recently, her government lackeys decided they wanted an app to trace the contacts of known coronavirus cases. Now, there are a lot of companies that could do that, but only a few of them are de facto arms of the Democratic Party in Michigan. So who do you think Gretchen Whitmer turned to?

On Monday Michigan's Health Department announced they'd awarded a no-bid contract to a group called Great Lakes Community Engagement. That's a company that describes itself as specializing in quote, "outreach campaigns to engage citizens."

Really?  In fact it's a leftwing activist group linked to a man named Mike Kolehouse, a former leader of Occupy Wall Street.  Kolehouse has become one of the state's top Democratic political operatives. The company has been paid huge sums to collect signatures in support of leftwing ballot initiatives.

Now Whitmer wants them to be paid for collect ing information on who the state's residents visit.

To do that the group was going to use software from EveryAction, that's a company that brags is "the leading technology provider to Democratic and progressive campaigns." And it almost worked.  But yesterday Michigan press outlets asked her office why they were giving a no-bid contract to a far leftwing activist to lead a public health initiative in the middle of an emergency.

Wouldn't that be like the president replacing Anthony Fauci with Steve Bannon?

Whitmer's office replied simply by canceling the contract. They were caught this time because finally someone was watching. But don't worry, they will try again.
