Michigan Republican Gov. Rick Snyder should be held criminally responsible

The only infrastructure that interests conservatives are
building new stadiums and constructing new prisons.

They claim the government is messing up the whole country.
I would certainly agree with them that government is making a mess of things.
Especially since, the fact is Republicans are actually
the goddamn government for most of the nation.
Republicans control both houses of Congress,
have total control over the legislatures
and governorships of 23 of our states.

The GOP calls thinks they are the Family values party.
Only if it is a badly dysfunctional family
with an alcoholic, abusive, angry self-righteous,

Democrat politicians are too busy hanging onto what little we have
to bother coming up with much-needed fixes for our nation.
That makes us the mistreated, powerless and ignored kids.
