For an analogy I am reminded of that great line about how Ginger Rogers had to do everything Fred Astaire did but backwards and wearing high heels

Found out that board of canvassers aren’t even elected they are appointed so they can’t be voted out of their positions.  Plus, there is an ethics complaint against Palmer for running a dark money PAC for candidates that are running in elections she over sees.  Fun times and why local races and politics matter...  also local media

I also expected a press conference today complete with White Lady Crocodile tears about how she is not a racist but was concerned about the irregularities, lather rinse repeat...

i wonder if their initial vote and "stand" will enable them to earn a One Stormy Daniels ($130,000) payout..

They aren’t even trying to hide the racism in MI now...
The Wayne County Board of Canvassers just deadlocked on certifying the vote on party lines. This is unprecedented in my 20 years covering government here.

Did you see this Zoom call of the Wayne County Board... @NedStaebler basically ripped off their heads and shit down there necks in this meeting

yeah Ned went viral for a good reason, but he was also humble giving credit to the others on that call.. and kudos for his use of the famous Diego Rivera mural at the Detroit Institutes of Art as his backdrop...

and clearly the fix was in on that initial board vote to decertified the results, as they were pinning hopes on that happening... otherwise the toddler in chief wouldn't still being tossing his rattle around.

Just read the post-NBA bio of tweeter Rex Chapman. Man, that guy's life has spiraled downward.
