I did enjoy the Ryan Leafesque threats her husband made during lockdown "Do you know who I am!".
Regardless, she's right up there with the worst performers in the country in dealing with the pandemic.
Slow made more credible threats when he promised to punch the stupid from himself with his arms in casts.....
13 different people are facing charges in a plot to kidnap the Governor.
Reasonable people would view actions that result in criminal charges as credible in this context. You can still think she’s a bad governor while recognizing the danger she was in, in doing her job.

Lmao…I guess words like weapons of mass destruction mean something different to the FBI than they do to civilians.

Yeah, Yeah, I know. The Vikings are coming!
To compliment the WMD threat, the FBI raided the home of a couple in Alaska for Pilosi's laptop!
I'm all for prosecuting threats and crimes, but crediting bumbling fools with bringing civilization to its knees is a bit overboard.

I’m not crediting anyone with bringing civilization to its knees. You implied there were no credible threats against the Governor in your very clever Soul insult, and I’m reminding you that people have been charged in a plot to kidnap the Governor.

As they should be. But they were bumbling idiots too.
What do you think of her performance as governor and do you think she deserves plaudits for courageously not getting kidnapped by some bumbling idiots?
Personally, I'd award Gavin Newsom the JFK Courage award for staring Covid in the eye and telling Covid, "Fuck you, I will eat where the fuck I want during a lockdown I imposed!" Now that took courage.

I think the scenes around the Michigan Capitol protests, while not constituting a crime, were threatening and dangerous. That’s not factoring the plot to kidnap the Governor herself. She was in actual danger. Michigan officials and citizens were in danger. So I don’t see the point in highlighting a John F Kennedy group recognizing Whitmer for carrying out her duty in the face of that danger. I imagine JFK peoples are sensitive to danger posed to elected officials.
If you guys want to highlight this group for recognizing Whitmer, feel free. Just think it is a waste of time as there is a reasonable explanation for the award, and the award doesn’t actually mean a thing as far as I can tell.

Despite violent threats against her life, Whitmer did not back down. She stayed focused on following the science and listening to public health experts to get the pandemic under control and start rebuilding Michigan's economy.
Following the science to get pandemic under control. You buy that? She performed much worse than most, simultaneously delivering a really high death rate, really high case rate and hitting the trifecta with really restrictive lockdowns. At least Newsom only delivered on 2 of 3. But she was almost kidnapped, even though she really wasn't almost kidnapped. How many awards have they given Scalise for actually getting shot by a crazy Bernie Bro?
Then again, to your point, we're talking about the John F. Kennedy library, who awards 'courage' distinction to the likes of Mitt Romney for voting to impeach Trump (yes, that's the reason) and the likes of Pelosi and Obama, well, for being a donkeys in leadership roles. Courage.

You mean cause they were arrested, correct? Or are you also just wanting to downplay the alleged crime? You don't have to do that to continue your attack on Democratic leaders and their COVID policies.

They were arrested and they're bumbling idiots.
Her award isn't simply for being almost kidnapped, she wasn't almost kidnapped and the feds had this under control. Her award is for her handling of covid. Do you think her handling is award worthy? You can continue to praise her courage and still comment on her policies. Why do you think Michigan was such a mess?

We also don’t know if there was any chance of their “plot” being successful, so we don’t know if she was in any danger. It could have been on the level of some moron driving into the White House fence.

'Bumbling idiots', as you and Keggar describe them, can present serious danger. Apparently you and Keggar disagree with that. The implication at least is there, otherwise there's no point in repeating it. Thankfully law enforcement took them serious.
I haven't praised her courage. I said it was understandable that a JFK affiliated group recognized her job performance given she was the subject of credible violent threats. Those threats are a serious thing, and I factor them in conjunction with the armed protests we saw at the Michigan Capitol (I believe at least a couple of the plotters were present). Michigan officials were operating in a dangerous environment and the Governor was the target of a violent plot.
If you guys want to get bent out of shape because a group affiliated with a democratic politician who was murdered in office praises a democratic politician who was threatened in office, have at it. If it was focused on policy, Gavin would be a better democrat to recognize because his performance (while bad in your eyes) was at least better, correct? The difference is the violent threats. There weren't any other Governors in recent memory who were subject to credible kidnapping plots that I recall.

The feds were tracking them for months, the FBI had a member/informant and Whitmer was aware of the plot. They should be arrested and should face the strictest consequences for their stupidity. The system worked here. On the plus side, her 'courage' means she gets recognized for awesome Covid policy.

In regards to Whitmer, maybe you didn't follow the story and think the threat was imminent. If I recall, they also wanted to kidnap another governor. FBI was well aware of the plot for months and nobody was in immediate danger.
Newsom results have been better than Whitmer's but I'm not sure about MI demographics v. CA (especially age). Do you think Newsom performed well? Newsom definitely didn't follow the science and that's supposed to be a big thing with those on the left, but not bigger than caving to unions. His kids are in school though, so all good. Hopefully the recall is successful, not probable, in fact, highly improbable, but there's always hope! Like the FBI with Whitmer, he's taking it seriously now.
Edit: The same idiots wanted to kidnap Ralph Northram too. His race controversy probably made his nomination for the courage award a bit to much for the JFK library.
Northam said during a news conference he and his family felt safe with security Virginia’s state police provide, and that he had been threatened before.

It’s funny that you suggest I may not have followed the story, after replying to MetsJets post in which he suggested it may have been as simple as a person driving into a security barrier, lol.
Even a headline level knowledge of the event would tell a person otherwise.

My suggestion stems from the insinuation that this was some out of control plot cracked in the last seconds with Whitmer in serious danger whisked away by some hero at the FBI. In fact, it was well under control with an informant and Whitmer well aware of the plot.
In regards to your question about Ralphie, no idea why they weren't charged in a conspiracy to kidnap Northam. Maybe the feds didn't need to complicate things and feel they have enough for a conviction with the MI plot? What do you think?
