Voters in Michigan wanted to send a message, and send a message they did. Over 100,000 people shouted loud and proud, “We don’t know anything about history, we’re not smart, but we are passionate about the nonsense we believe!” Or, to put it another way, 100,000 Democrats acted like Democrats. Good job, dummies. Your protest vote was done in an ech…

Shocking news: Republicans and Democrats are close to agreement on a comprehensive bill that would overhaul immigration and add safety and security at the Southern border.
