It is the latest predictable response to Merrick Garland siccing the FBI on parents who criticized local school boards.
More to follow.
Thankfully.

You have to forgive Chewbacca.  For a wookie, criticize means anything up to ripping a persons arms off.

Two board members, Courtland representative Rabih Abuismail and Livingston representative Kirk Twigg, said they would like to see the removed books burned.

I think we should throw those books in a fire, Abuismail said, and Twigg said he wants to see the books before we burn them so we can identify within our community that we are eradicating this bad stuff.

Book burnings...

Nope. Cannot happen here.

The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit set oral arguments for a hearing on November 30. Judges Patricia Millett and Robert Wilkins, both Obama appointees, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Biden appointee, sat on the appellate panel considering Trump's request.

"The purpose of this administrative injunction is to protect the court's jurisdiction to address appellant's claims of executive privilege and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits," the panel wrote in a brief two-page order.

I think extending the delay that long is very unfortunate, but what is to be done?!

State school boards associations inFlorida, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina are all disassociating themselves
from the National Organization.

If you mean out and out lies about what Garland said and has done, it is sadly to be expected from someone like you, who believes threatening violence against public officials should be encouraged, supported and protected provided the right people are doing the threatening.

The news is not hard to keep up with if you read it.

If you read ALL OF it. Which i suspect you do but chose to misrepresent in your desire to promote local right wing terroristic threats against elected officials.

Some of your Achtungs are not hyperbolic at all.   That is truly disturbing.   

The attitude is reminiscent of Nazi Germany entartete kunst . (degenerate art)

Unfortunately

Jen Rubin.   If there is a way to get this on the archive website that Josh used for the bookburner piece,  I would be happy to post it there.   Excellent breakdown on what democracy needs right now.   No time to pull quotes and pick all the apostros etc  out of them.

What Merick Garlland said is not disputed nor is what he did.
Nor is how voters responded.

Republicans keep doing what they can to kill children. It is part of their walrus and carpenter mentality.

This entails confronting the White evangelical crusade to prioritize White power and Christian ideology over democracy. Right-wing pseudo-intellectuals, unabashed champions of nativism in right-wing media and cynical Republican politicians have heightened racial resentment and undermined the building blocks of democracy. In many instances, however, they are merely racing to catch up with the mob.

LMAO

Josh you may be the least humorous guy in Elba which is why its so much fun to make fun of you.

Banks joined Ham and Kid in admitting that he is a troll with this post.

Not that we didn't know it already.

Of course, he still isn't up to Ward's sea lion status.

If you are going to donate frozen pizza to the needy, then I recommend the DiGiorno.

I suggest being patient and waiting for the oven to get nice and hot, and then you cook it for 22 minutes. With crushed red pepper.

Salute,

Tony V.

Joe Biden does not understand.
John Kerry does not understand.

....that as at today, Australia has to export coal to survive.

John Kerry US has joined with China in a coalition to cut emissions and stop climate change.
China's emissions are soaring...new coal fired power stations by the dozens....says its emissions will PEAK In 2030.

Who came last in the Glasgow climate change rankings?
Who is being criticised most, despite reaching every requirement of the Paris accord?
Yes, you guessed it...Australia.
