      A month before 13 men were charged in a far-right plot to allegedly kidnap and execute Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake) had a sitdown conversation with leaders of three Michigan-based militias. via @MichiganAdvancehttps://www.michiganadvance.com/2021/01/17/new-michigan-gop-senate-leader-advised-militias-on-messaging-says-theyve-gotten-a-bad-rap/ …

      Shirkey said of militia leaders on JTV: “It was very fascinating and they’re not uniquely different than you and I. They bleed red, white and blue, but they feel like they are not being heard.” via @ToddHeywood and @MichiganAdvancehttps://www.michiganadvance.com/2021/01/17/new-michigan-gop-senate-leader-advised-militias-on-messaging-says-theyve-gotten-a-bad-rap/ …

          The September meeting was not the first time Shirkey was arm-in-arm with militia members. Shirkey was a participant in a Barry County rally May 18 which featured Robinson, as well as accused plotters William and Michael Null. via @MichiganAdvancehttps://www.michiganadvance.com/2021/01/17/new-michigan-gop-senate-leader-advised-militias-on-messaging-says-theyve-gotten-a-bad-rap/ …

          Right now, far-right groups are protesting at Michigan's Capitol after the U.S. Capitol insurrection and ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration. But Shirkey said on the radio Monday the FBI bulletin warning of protests was "not necessary." via @MichiganAdvancehttps://www.michiganadvance.com/blog/shirkey-fbi-warning-of-violence-at-planned-right-wing-capitol-protests-is-not-necessary/ …

          However, by Friday, Shirkey and House Speaker Jason Wentworth said there were "credible threats" and announced the Legislature would not meet this week. via @MichiganAdvancehttps://www.michiganadvance.com/blog/no-sessions-for-house-and-senate-next-week-after-credible-threats/ …

          As for his meeting with militia leaders, the GOP Senate leader claimed that Michigan State Police assisted him identifying the militia leaders and that such a meeting “has never been done before.” via @MichiganAdvancehttps://www.michiganadvance.com/2021/01/17/new-michigan-gop-senate-leader-advised-militias-on-messaging-says-theyve-gotten-a-bad-rap/ …

          'They're not being heard'. Maybe because they have nothing to say that any sane person wants to hear.

          So, the cult leaders are confirming their members dissatisfaction of not being heard and cementing their symbiotic relationship?

          I’m am well past done with these violent ingrates constantly whining they’re not being heard. Just like with Christians here who feel persecuted because they can’t force others to their beliefs.

          I find it very fascinating that Shirkey is going to be getting a bad rap for thinking all Michiganders are on board with his bullshit.

          Not being heard? By Paul Ryan? Mitch McConnell? Donald Trump? Rick Snyder? Mike Shirkey? This has been the Republican leadership So which one of 'em wouldn't take their call? lol

          What I’ve been trying to figure out forever is: what do they think they’re missing that they’re not being heard on?
