Good.

He should be ridden out of town on a railā€”after being tarred and feathered for being such an unremitting asshole.

Not a racist ā€“ just realistically playing one, 24 hours a day.

Hey, what happened to our Constitutional right to spew the most vile racist hatred, without any consequences whatsoever?

I certainly am not a racist. I merely said, in an emotional moment of error to which all humans are subject, that a black woman should go live in Zimbabwe with a gorilla.

Just wow.

ETA: Even Trump had the self-preserving instinct not to attack Michelle Obama. This guy is just a furious bundle of straight-up racist hate.

Excellent. One little bright spot in a pretty dark year and proof that weā€™re not all haters.

The board voted 6-2 to give Paladino 24 hours to resign his seat, according to a report by NBC News.

Who the fuck are those two? Hound them until they resign!

ETA: Unless they were voting against even giving Paladino the decision ā€“ he shouldnā€™t have been afforded 24 hours to make a decision. He should have been fired effective immediately and forced to clean out his desk within the hour.

All men are racists and all men make mistakes. But most control their feelings and donā€™t let the feelings control them. Only a few ask for forgiveness but are incapable of giving it.

Carl Paladino and Rudy Giuliani. New York and America weep.

Thatā€™s currently a feature in the NY GOP.

My only question is why it took this long. This isnā€™t something that just came out of this human stainā€™s piehole. Heā€™s ALWAYS been an unrepentant sc*mbag of the lowest order. To the point where I would ascribe some sort of mental illness might be at work behind the venal racism.

Iā€™d also like to point out something that Jamelle Bouie pointed out a few days ago on Twitter: itā€™s now gotten to the point where calling out someone as a racist has become as bad if not worse than the racism itself.

Good. Alt-right and conservative ā€œleadersā€ need to be removed from positions of influence and power and to what degree possible, ostracized from their community.

Carlos will ā€œregretfully acceptā€ the boardā€™s decision to resign en masse rather than serve with him ā€¦ but not very graciously :frowning:

Damn, dude! Take no prisoners! Off with their heads!

BTW, the way I read it they can urge him to resign but if he wonā€™t they have to appeal to a higher authority. Imagine if various boards could vote to simply oust other membersā€”theyā€™d all melt away like snowpersons in the sun.

Remember this guy?

He was replaced by this guy who said that he couldnā€™t get an indictment on this case.

ā€˜NY Republicansā€¦you gotta ā€˜loveā€™ emā€¦ā€™

Anyone else think he wonā€™t resign? I tend to think heā€™ll continue denying responsibility indefinitely then cry about how unfairly he was treated if fired.

I know, I know ā€¦ I guess I lost my bag of fucks November 09th, 2016. No more to give. So ā€“ yeah!! ā€“ Off with their fucking heads, the scum! We can no longer afford to be nice* to ā€œconservatives.ā€ We are forced to treat them exactly as they treat us. I say that President Obama needs to implement martial law starting now. No more transition. Also, outlaw the GOP and the ā€œalt-rightā€ movement. Theyā€™re Nazis anyway so we should just terminate them.

*Being nice means allowing them to live another day. Look, we allowed them to enjoy one more Christmas, and I think that was giving them the store so-to-speak. No more. The nicest thing to do would be to put them out of our misery. Your thoughts?

I have plenty of moments like this when Iā€™m not joking and I donā€™t see any smileys so letā€™s just say I know how you feel. If President Obama declared martial law I would have mixed feelings about it. Better him than someone else, Iā€™ll say that much. Even though theyā€™ve put all our lives in danger, somehow Iā€™m not quite ready to do wholesale slaughter on my conservative neighbors. Iā€™ve unfriended a few on Facebook but slaughter, that Iā€™m not ready for. Many were misguided. The ones I know arenā€™t monsters. They just voted for one.

Iā€™m surprised Paladino got two votes but school boards are elective like anything else. I was pretty sure he would be strongly asked to leave, though.

Buh-bye, Carl; Iā€™m sure there is a cushy spot for you in the incoming Presidential administration. Please call Steve Bannon, heā€™ll get you set right up. Chief of the Civil Division in DOJ OK with you?? I feel sorry for Paladino, heā€™s clearly off his meds.
