He's doubled down on the racial dogwhistling for some time, but these past few weeks it seems he's forgotten that he can't "say the quiet part out loud," so to speak.

..Aren't you an anarchist? I don't wanna disband the police, but I figured, like, you wouldn't want police? That whole ideology contends that police are an arm of state-sanctioned violence.

To be fair, they're doing the parents a favor by going after Paw Patrol, just because maybe the kids will watch something different and less annoying. ;)

Unless they have the severe misfortune to have a fucking box set of the show in which case F.

If Harris or Abrams gets it, I won't vote for Biden but almost any other choices I'll be fine with. Rice I don't view as that qualified but it wouldn't break me. Warren would be better though.

Although I personally would prefer Tammy Duckworth, I think the country could use a serving of Susan Rice in November.

Lol maybe. I myself want Warren as the preferred VP pick due to their qualities and not suffering from the flaws compared to Klobuchar or Harris or some of the others.

Using my Trump Translator (patent pending), he isn't condemning Lincoln for freeing the slaves, but he is jealous of someone else being more accomplished than him.

I doubt they feel threatened by it as a whole, although a few of them may. It just sounds like another dumb stunt by some members of said group in their seeming eternal quest to give ammunition to those who want an excuse to oppose the end to certain bastions of racism.

Seriously, if the left in the US could stop shooting themselves in the foot they'd be in such a good position right now, what with Trump's string of massive blunders combined with a surge of support seeming to be growing due to police brutality cases.
