The red pandas worked their magic! Right after we posted last night, the Wayne County, Michigan, Board of Canvassers reversed itself and certified election results from the overwhelmingly African-American city of Detroit. (The two Trumpy Republicans on the board had previously refused to certify, using predictably flimsy excuses.)
Well, maybe it wasn't the red pandas. Maybe it was the hundreds of Wayne County voters who turned out to speak their minds during the public comment period. But perhaps it was also this epic takedown of the Trumpsters by board member Ned Staebler, who calls them out for what they are: racists.
It's depressing to know how many haters there are in America. (Ironically, it was one of them who posted this video to YouTube — perhaps not realizing the power of the punch it would deliver.) Benedict Donald has done many terrible things, but one of the worst is allowing the fringiest of the fringe crawl out from under their rocks and enter the mainstream of American politics. We'll be dealing with that for a long time — but as long as we have public servants like Ned Staebler, maybe there's hope. We cats PURR.
