TN GOP senate confirms Aurora shooting ammo dealer to education board

He also has no background in education.

..."Knoxville's Jordan Mollenhour, who's been serving as a State Board of Education member since his appointment in November 2021, is the founder and owner of Lucky Gunner. The company, founded in 2009, sells firearm ammunition online. 
Lucky Gunner has faced multiple lawsuits over the years. The company has been linked to the selling of ammunition involved in two mass shootings.

The most recent lawsuit involves whether the company can be held civilly responsible for selling ammunition to a 17-year-old who fatally shot 10 people at his Santa Fe, Texas high school in 2018. The company denied wrongdoing, according to a report from the Dallas Morning News. 
It's against the law for someone under 18 years old to purchase gun ammunition. 

The company was also sued for selling over 4,000 rounds of ammo to the man who fatally shot 12 people at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, in 2012. A federal judge dismissed the Colorado lawsuit in 2015. 

"There are nearly 7 million people in Tennessee surely to God the governor could have found one state board of education nominee who's not in ongoing litigation about illegally selling ammunition used in a deadly school shooting," Senate Minority Jeff Yarbro, D-Nashville, said. "...(more)

"Do you ever look at someone and feel like punching them in the face? Well, Germans have a unique word for that face: a Backpfeifengesicht — a face that’s badly in need of a fist.

This is one of those strange words that’s uniquely German with no English equivalent. The word Backpfeife means “punch/slap” (on the cheek/face) and Gesicht means “face”. The word Backpfeifengesicht therefore means something along the lines of “a face that’s begging to be slapped” – or punched. Or hurt. You get the picture."...(more)

I've used it often here, from Pharma Bro, to Trump and any of his spawn, to Cruz, Hawley, Cotton, Rubio et al.
A truly great word.

This state is royally fucked...from this, to open carry to the point some want to classify carriers as "law enforcement", to Hillsdale charters, to "Dont say Gay" and book censorship in schools, not to mention Lee's total mismanagement and complete disdain of all things public health and Covid related.... Unfuckingbelievable that the state has become ruled by the backwards, intellectually stunted, evangelicals and that progressive cities like Nashville and Memphis are forced to live under this bullshit. So freaking infuriating!
