Cite your source. I know of no "far left" person or group that banned To Kill A Mockingbird.

It is a lot different. When you burn the books, the books are gone. When you remove a reference from a website, the data is still there -- just not published -- and can be re-published.

In this particular case, the governor stood up to Trump on something during the governor's meeting he had months ago. Since then Maine has been targeted with this and other measures by this administration.

You should know what you're talking about before you speak. Maine is blue and Trump lost 52% to 45% in Maine.

Trump lost Maine 52% to 45% with 1% going to Stein.

Worse -- he's depending on Mills to cave to save her own constituents. He hurts the residents of Maine because she won't "take a knee" for him.

Not a mortgage -- mortgage is a secured loan. These would be unsecured loans. Interest is much higher.

Stop being so judgy. I don't use doordash ( or those other delivery apps ) because I can't justify the cost -- until my car was in the shop for an entire month and nothing is within walking distance of my house.

If it's "women's fault" because women don't want to go to work just like her husband and then come home to take care of children, make the dinner, wash the dishes, put in a load of laundry, put the kids to bed while husband is watching TV or playing video games, then you're right.

Interesting thing I just read -- Trump went on a rant at a presser and, among other things he ranted about, he was on about Chuck Schumer calling him a Palestinian regarding his vote on the CR. It's as if Trump was planning for a shutdown...interesting.

That would matter if Trump was going after Biden. But if he's going after the people Biden pardoned, it's not the point. He's saying he can now go after Jack Smith, Fauci, all members of the select committee, Biden's son, etc

I have read an article ( I have read too many I can't remember the source ) that said Trump would have even more liberties to fully shutdown ( permanently ) agencies and lay off people ( permanently ) in a shutdown.
March 16, 2025 at 10:37 AM
NYT: He also warned that if the government closed, Mr. Trump and Republicans would have no incentive to reopen it, since they could selectively fund “their favorite departments and agencies, while leaving other vital services that they don’t like to languish.”

Schumer Says He’ll Vote for GOP Spending Bill to Avert Government Shutdown
Many Democrats had agitated for the party to hang together and block the measure in defiance of President Trump, but the leader said doing so would prompt a shutdown that would only empower Mr. Trump.

Per NYT: In a shutdown, Mr. Schumer said, “the Trump administration would have full authority to deem whole agencies, programs and personnel nonessential, furloughing staff with no promise that they would ever be rehired.”

If true, this cannot be legal. Spouses are not military personnel and are not subject to height weight requirements.

Trump would welcome a shutdown and reek more havoc as it continued for months. Would GOP try harder to negotiate to stop a shutdown? What then? No SS / Medicare / Medicaid / SNAP payouts. Military not getting paid. For possibly months??

Which is the lesser of two evils? Where / how does it end?
March 15, 2025 at 10:53 AM
What if he's right? What if he voted against the budget, a shutdown happened and Trump used that opportunity to gut out even more agencies and services?

Would that make Schumer be a hero or a traitor then?
March 15, 2025 at 10:15 AM
He probably mentioned the sanctions on Russia to prove he's NOT a Putin puppet. He proved he didn't mean it by then going and continuing to praise Putin.
March 8, 2025 at 12:29 AM
Trump said "I don't get it. I just don't get it." DUH!

There is also the not so well known movie called Misunderstood ( 1983 ) with Henry Thomas and Huckleberry Fox
