@dizzymasekela You are an idiot. The cities being taken over are primarily BLACK cities run by Blacks. Niggers ruin every place they infest.

America, you voted for these assholes, so now, you're gonna sit down, shut up, SMILE, and enjoy what YOU voted into office because you were too busy watching South Park and Family Guy to actually become informed, and voted in a haste at the last second. Oh hey, did Kenny die in the latest episode? Did Peter make a cutaway joke? Did you have fun watching your animated distractions?!

"THE BALLOT WAS CONFUSING!"

Fucking idiots. Eat your shit and LIKE IT, just like the rest of us have to.

Republicans and tea baggers are dipshits who don't deserve to breathe. They equate Michelle Obama's urging kids to eat more fruits and veggies to Rick Snyders autocratic move to just remove elected officials whenever he feels like it.

America and China will switch places, that was the plan all along and all of it is just the result. Goodbye free America, welcome to dictatorship.

@iamavet And, she nullified the elected government of the town? No?  Nice try...

@iamavet Where in the constitution does it say you can't own a slave? Or make child pornography in your basement? Oh right, it doesn't because that's a bullshit argument when dealing with the nitty gritty of public policy. So if you're such a constitutional purist, next time you see a woman voting, feel free to tell her she doesn't have the right to do so.

Also Maddow has gone after Obama for not closing down Gitmo, addressing the fact it operates outside the law, etc. You fail.

@Nateb123

Where in the Constitution does it say Fed Govt have the right to control business and US citizens of how much salt, sugar, fat and meat are allowed to use? I missed that at the last town hall meeting.

There is no difference between Govt controls, whether Walker or Obama. Maddow only brings up issues to demonize Rep while ignoring Dem intrusions -- this is called propaganda. (information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person)

[Nateb123]

@iamavet Oh no! And if they can do so without affecting flavour? Most salt and sugar used in food products are cheap filler. It's like whey or soy protein. That legislation will actually make food more flavourful and reduce blood pressure and heart disease.

Meanwhile trans fats are proven cancer-causers. It's the asbestos of food production. McDonalds phased it out over a decade ago and they use oil for EVERYTHING.  Next you'll complain about how it's not advised for you to drink bleach.

@Nateb123 Not talking about Michelle.

"Tom Harkin and Rosa DeLauro moving forward with plans to require food companies to reduce the amount of salt they use in your food." ... (also ) "According to the Government scheme, businesses would “once and for all” remove artificial trans-fats from their products by the end of this year." (this lets to) "how much fat we can buy, the types of meat we eat, the candy we eat, the sugar we consume, the oil we cook our food in," etc
