Oh, Michigan...

MARYSVILLE, Mich. (AP) — A city council candidate in Michigan shocked a public forum when she said she wants to keep her community white “as much as possible.”

Jean Cramer made the comment Thursday in response to a question about diversity in Marysville, a city in St. Clair County, 55 miles (88 kilometers) northeast of Detroit. The Times Herald in Port Huron said she’s one of five candidates running for three council seats in November.

More than 90% of Marysville’s 9,700-person population is white.

Cramer responded when the moderator asked candidates if Marysville should do more to attract foreign-born residents, who are boosting populations in some Great Lakes states.

“Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible,” she replied. “White. Seriously. In other words, no foreign-born, no foreign people.”

The newspaper later asked Cramer if she wanted to clarify her remarks.

“Husband and wife need to be the same race. Same thing with kids,” she said. “That’s how it’s been from the beginning of, how can I say, when God created the heaven and the earth. He created Adam and Eve at the same time. But as far as me being against blacks, no I’m not.”

Michigan is such a strange state. When I first moved there, I was shocked by some of the open racism I saw.

Great places within the state, though. And great beer.

Big nonsensical posting guy. Saying the words. All of them. Lawyering. Englishing. Making sense. Total.

No idea what this means.

Catholics became big time Dem voters and leaned heavily liberal in the post-JFK era of politics.

Your initial point about liberals not believing in hell (whether a joke or not) would seem at odds with that voting bloc.

[BTBaboon]

Also will add that I certainly don't believe in hell in the biblical sense.

When someone uses the term “libs” in here I think we all know what it means.

And I’m a pretty liberal Christian is would guess. Catholics vote about 50/50 no?

"Some of President Trump’s allies who say they were involved in the White House’s recent push to secure A$AP Rocky’s release from detainment in Sweden claim the rapper was supposed to publicly thank the president for his work, a move his team believed might help secure more black voters, but A$AP Rocky’s team is longer “returning our text messages.”

I don't work for any Koch company.

And I'm more pointing out the good they've done than defending the bad. Plenty of negatives about them.

I do think that every government dollar spent subsidizing them is bad because that dollar, environmentally-speaking, is much better spent on public transit and bike/pedestrian-friendly building/zoning

I agree that not all dollars should go to it and more focus should go towards the things you mentioned. However, I don't think that it's bad to subsidize hybrid/alternate-fuel vehicles. The majority of the U.S. is, unfortunately, heavily dependent on cars for transportation.

Batteries can be recycled. The process of mining materials for batteries is obviously not environmentally-friendly, but there's a trade-off with literally everything.

I don't think anyone would argue that hybrids are "good" for the environment, but they're one of the best options for transportation if you're looking to decrease your carbon footprint and still need a car.

President Trump's African American allies who urged him to get A$AP Rocky released from Swedish detention are unhappy the rapper has still not thanked the president for taking up his cause. According to Yahoo News, one of them called the entertainer and his entourage "ungrateful motherf****rs" for not having a word of appreciation over his release.

However, those who helped put the rapper's case on the Resolute Desk thought they were taken for granted. "The White House didn't ask for anything," Scott said. "There were no conditions attached, but my condition and Kareem's condition was that all I'm asking for you guys to do is say thank you."

We know, we know. Liberals hate corporations. Corporations are people. Liberals like people and corporations to die. Therefore Koch's death is good for the liberal cult.

Trolling a troll can be pretty fun.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all my fans, friends and anyone across the globe who supported me during these last few weeks," Rocky wrote on Instagram. "I can't begin to describe how grateful I am for all of you."
