The Buffalo School Board voted to demand Carl Paladino resign within 24 hours or they would ask the New York Commissioner of Education to remove him. Paladino was co-chair of the Trump campaign in New York.
The board was outraged by Paladino’s vile racist remarks directed at President Obama and his wife, published last week in a local journal.
“Words matter, Mr. Paladino,” said Barbara Seals Nevergold, the president of the board.
The words in question came in response to a survey about hopes for 2017, sent to members of the Buffalo community by Artvoice, a local weekly newspaper.
In it, Mr. Paladino said he wished Mr. Obama would die of mad cow disease. He also wished Ms. Obama would “return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.” Mr. Paladino, a wealthy builder and political ally of President-elect Donald J. Trump, ran for governor in 2010 as the Republican nominee.

And Donald J. Trump should resign or be instantaneously impeached as soon as he takes office:

And that article has what to do with Paladino?

Trump’s a pal of Paladino. It’s code. Double-top secret code. Such inflammatory code that it could melt the polar ice caps in a day, tides shall rise, global markets shall fall. That’s the kind of threat we’re dealing with here. The reverse of pal is lap, as in lapdog. The reverse of Paladino is Onidalap, which could vaguely be Russian or maybe Tibetan or any number of ethnicities and nationalities, which makes it infinitely more dangerous.

And I have some beautiful white sand ocean front beach property for sale cheaply over at Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri. All offers being considered as lots have to go before New Years for tax purposes.

There are two Janets, it appears. I will change my name but I wanted to bring this to Diane’s attention. There should be a mechanism for alerting commentators that a particular name has already been chosen. Thanks.

Paladino is a racist. Why was he elected to this board? what does it say about the city of Buffalo? These people do not gain power unless others vote for them

Probably the question in too many school board elections across the nation is not Why Was This Person Voted Into Office but more Who Actually Voted In This Election.
