I doesn’t sound like it’s parents objecting to these books.

If you put that book in a kindergarten library, I can guarantee none of the kids will read it.

The only two reasons not to have it are 1) budget and 2) space. Use the room and money for books the kids will read.

I’ve worked in school libraries.

The funny thing is that kids will only read things that are of interest to them, and if they’re interested in it, they’re old enough to read it. If they borrow it because they like the cover or all their friends have apparently read it or some such reason, you can be assured it’ll be returned after they get through the first page.

Those people were already voting for him. No one is saying, ‘Oh no, they just found a criminal guilty of a crime! That’s not the American way!’

Well, a few billionaires and their SCOTUS lackeys might, but we’ll see.

Why? There aren’t too many undecided voters who will suddenly decide, ‘Hey, he’s definitely a criminal, so I might just give him my vote.’

And anyone who doesn’t think he’s guilty was already going to vote for him anyway.

Except for the anti-Semites, who make up a decent chunk of his active base. Or are they also pro-Israel?

Can anyone explain to me how the Nazis and pro-Israel crowds seem to be so friendly at the moment? It’s almost like this has nothing to do with Israel.

What happened when Trump’s lawyers brought that up in cross examination?

Damn, she must have crumbled when Trump’s lawyers brought that up when cross-examining her. As far as the jury is concerned, that would be game over for the prosecution.

Trump’s lawyers did bring that up, didn’t they?

The Appellate Court likes to see that judges gradually escalate through the options, not just go straight for the harshest one available. It’s likely Marchan (and the prosecution) want to make this case as appeal-proof as possible.

Gotta say, every time I go out and look at the moon I can’t help but wonder what would happen if it somehow exploded. Then I find myself wondering why I’m not in an asteroid-mining ship and end up questioning all my life choices.
