Because his #2 changed the terms.Originally Posted by evince
Strzok, who served as the No. 2 official leading the probe into the Clinton email server, has been thrust into the center of controversy after news of his dismissal from Comey's team. In July 2016, Comey said that Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of State was "extremely careless," but he added that "no reasonable prosecutor" would charge her. Strzok changed the language from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless".

Comey thought so but was overcome by the pressure from the AG, his boss, and the President. I believe that even you know that her gross negligence would have put me in prison because I would not have an AG and a President on my side. Political power, and IMHO corruption, saved her where nobody would have acted like that in my behalf if I had been even partially as irresponsible with SCI as she was.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Anyway, it isn't me ignoring facts in that case, Shrubs... It just isn't.

Word choice. I would have gone with "grossly negligent" but I'm not a fucking lawyer.
Was a crime committed? If so, why didn't Trump do anything about it for four fucking years? Is this about Epstein again?

Dr. Seuss books have been around since before I was born in the early 50's. I remember owning a copy of the "Cat In The Hat" as a small child. Probably the only one I ever looked at.
And I do not see any problem with a publishing company taking their own product out of Syndication at their own choosing- if they deem the book to have racial overtones in it if they so choose to do so themselves.
And as far as I've read- THIS IS THE CASE!
It's their property- and it's their right to do so! NO ONE IS FORCING THEM TO TAKE THEIR OWN PRODUCT OFF THE MARKET!
If any of you assholes want to try and make a political statement out of this or blame liberals or Black people for this- I think you need to go and get a life and STFU! Go find you a butterfly to tear the wings off or something!
Next case please!

You aren't much of anything, are you?

This is not a case of the government banning books. They had nothing to do with the publisher ending printing them. The Suess people thought the books were sending a bad message and they decided to end them. This is not akin to book burning or banning books. Go to a book store, buy them and hang them on the wall if you wish. They have not gone anywhere.

Maybe that's why nobody said it was, stupid.
Give it a try and let the forum know how it goes.

Then why are you whining about it so much? Do you have a solution to offer or do you just like to bitch, whine and moan?
The books are for sale. As collectibles they are now higher priced. God Bless American capitalism!
Sorry, dude, if Trailer Park Nazi's (TPNs) like yourself have to recopy the books in crayon when you want to read and share them to each other. Blank books are still available just like crayons.

Nobody said anyone is "forcing them to take their own product off the market", did they?

This reminds me a bit of Disney and the "Song of the South" movie... Does anybody remember that movie? I saw it in the theater and remember singing the one line I remembered over and over and driving my parents insane... "Zippy dee doo da, zippidy ay... my oh my what a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine coming my way! Zippity doo dah, Zippity ay!" and "Mr. Blue bird on my shoulder".... Disney stopped selling the movie and just quietly shut up about it. They didn't make some huge announcement to show how awesomely woke they might be, they just took action. Seems to me like it may have been the right action. Also the right way to take it. Without all the self back slapping and self congratulations.

Absolutely. It's not just Killary, remember Sandy Berger? Walked out of a SCIF with documents jammed in his underwear? I would have gotten 10 years, minimum, for that.
When I was at Goodfellow one of the guys in my company was Article 15'd because a Colonel decided to run a security exercise in the SCIF and wore a badge with Mickey Mouse's face instead of his. The guy didn't yell "Wagon Wheel" and got hooked up with an Article 15 for it. I guess security is just for the peons, Hillary belongs in jail for deliberately busting chain of custody for classified material but she'll never pay for it.

Its simple; You just look at who is doing the banning and burning. You have to do tit for tat. Thats the problem with the people who support the good - freedom - rights et al. such people do not fight back.
The problem to day is for example, ALL big tech is owned by lefties who all want Biden in office. There is no alternative to Facebook - Twitter - Amazon - google - they are all anti Mr Trump. I cancelled my Twitter - Watsap - Amazon - Paypal accounts on principle. I admit communication processes were easier when I used them but I can't support such evil, controlling anti my rights organisations.
Why would I?
