I tuned into @971theticketxyt hoping for some group therapy and commiseration over the #Lions . Instead, I got insanity, everything from replacing Campbell with Ben Johnson to replacing Goff with Justin Fields (!) Apparently I need to turn elsewhere for comfort. Still #OnePride

Developing - Michigan is mentioned 19 times in the 98-page indictment handed down in GA against former Pres Trump. It cites the fraudulent elector scheme, the Dominion Voting machines flap in Antrim Co., and the meeting at the White House with Lee Chatfield and Mike Shirkey.

So the NFL has sent a video to all teams explaining how players should report to the officials. In other words, they are still doubling down on their ineptitude and basically calling the #Lions liars. Come April, Roger Goodell is going to wish the draft was anywhere but Detroit.

I’m watching meeting of the Board of State Canvassers and unless I’m missing something it seems the argument is like a group of students telling the teacher the reason they got the answers wrong was because the person they paid to do their homework gave them the wrong answers.
