The Alabama Department of Revenue threatened to revoke an Oneonta man's vehicle registration if he does not relinquish a custom license plate containing an apparent insult to President Joe Biden.
Nathan Kirk ordered the license plate in question when he bought a new Ford truck in October. The design of the license plate contains the words "Don't Tread on Me" along with the distinctive snake from the Gadsden flag.
For the personalized portion of the license plate, Kirk chose the letters "LGBF JB." Many people deduced these letters were meant to stand for the anti-Biden phrases "Let's go, Brandon" and "F*** Joe Biden," a conclusion seemingly supported by the "Let's Go Brandon" license plate frame Kirk put around it.
Personalized license plates in Alabama are supposed to take two to six weeks to arrive. However, this period passed and Kirk's temporary paper license expired before he was issued the new plate. Kirk said the state blamed the delay on an aluminum shortage.
In December, he reordered the custom license plate, and he finally received it in January.
But this month, the state Department of Revenue sent a letter to Kirk's wife, Courtney. The truck with the license plate on it was registered in her name.
“The Alabama Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division, has determined the above referenced license plate contains objectionable language which is considered by the Department to be offensive to the peace and dignity of the State of Alabama," the letter said.
The letter said Kirk had 10 days to return the license plate before his vehicle registration would be revoked, and it was dated Feb. 17. If he drove the vehicle without a valid registration, he would be issued a $500 fine for the first offense and a $1,000 fine for each additional offense.

So the Alabama Department of Revenue has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC?
Bet they wouldn't have a problem with 'FDJT' ...
Some bureaucrats have no sense of humor............. Correction: ALL bureaucrats....................
We’re seeing what happens when the infestations get into places of control.
He should have told them that it stands for “Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals for Joe Biden.” Problem solved.
Meanwhile it was ok for anyone and everyone to bash Trump endlessly every second of every day
let’s go to court!
How about FJOBYEDAN??
So, the govt is deciding how to interpret random letters of the alphabet now.
Montgomery is to Alabama what Austin is to Texas.
The land of the free? Yeah, right.
All democrats and leftists have no sense of humor.
And in the red state of AL! Surprising.
They have it all wrong. What he was saying was:
LGBF = Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Friendly.
JB = Just Because.
He was really saying how woke he was!
OK. Then how about FRMV?
Call the ACLU
He could,have a huge sticker right about his license plate with that on it.
Just tell the state it stands for “Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals For Joe Biden”, and that you will start a twitter campaign about them being bigots if you don’t get your plate.
