    but then again i did see the resemblance between Peppy le Pue and Gov Cuomo 40 years ago- so i guess your are right
    Did you see the pictures deemed racist? Because they actually were this time. I often have my BS meter on but I agree these drawings were inappropriate in today's society. Now, could they have changed the pictures and still published the books? Maybe depending on if the family would agree, or what the contract states. But as the poster said they were not big sellers. The guy has 60 titles out there and they're not all beloved "classics".

    This is just not the issue the right is trying to make it - the same group that had freedom fries, banished the Dixie Chicks and Colin Kaperneck, boycotted NASCAR for getting rid of the confederate flag....and that's just a few of the more recent ones. There's much more. The left does it too, what varies are both sides' reasonings behind it.

      Higher overall approval ratings than Trump ever did and about 2/3s of all voters approving of his handling of the pandemic https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politic...mpare-to-trump


      Biden's inauguration speech had 1.5M more viewers than Trump's did

      Nope. I made it up.
      But it seems legit.
      Enough to trigger you.
      So it seem’s I was spot on.
      Thanks for confirming.

        The more I think about last night’s speech the more late Soviet it seems: a weary old man offering orders disguised as promises to his subjects, who are either so pathetically frightened they’ll do what he says or too cynical to care.

          What’s more pathetic is that countless celebrities were fawning and crying over how wonderful it is to have him as president. No different than people who worship Trump. Just goes to show we’re hardwired to be religious. It’s just a matter of how it manifests.

            Not triggered. Just calling out the bullshyte when I see it. If cons would post facts instead of making stuff up the discussions would have some merit.

              “Obey all my commands and maybe I’ll give you permission to enjoy time with your family again some day” is among the most obscene and totalitarian lunacy spewed by an American President in living memory

                the difference is the right didnt ban the dixie chicks- they are still out there making music , people just decided to not buy their stuff or go to their concerts- no one said they cant do their jobs
                Colin Kapernek is still doing what he is doing- protesting- people just stopped watching and buying merch- the fact that no NFL team wants to sign him is a NFL thing
                again if you choose to alienate your entire purchasing base (NASCAR) expect to have to create a new fan base-
                people are allowed to make decisions on where they use their disposable income, they dont have to go out of their way to make sure to ruin someone's livelyhood

                the dr seuss thing was the lefts " jumping the shark" moment- its absurd and cheapens the whole movement- kinda like calling everyone who disagrees a racist or a Nazi

                  half the country sold their souls for $1400- they dont care as long as they got the check

                  this country will be in far worse shape in 2024 than it is right now, because of the lefts agendas
                  and the republicans are spineless

                    NeverTrumpers thought that was a great speech.

                    They also think their wives are at spin class right now.

                      they Fd the country over personality not policy- i have more respect for AOC
                      she may be incredibly wrong about everything but at least she actually believes what she says is true

                        There were no protests to stop publishing these (poorly selling) books. The stop order came very much out of the blue by the publisher and family trust. The only one having the vapors over it is the right.

                          There are a ton of them. Appearance over substance is their value system.
                          It is like the mask.
                          Wearing one says you care
                          Except the mask actually increases viral infections
                          Cutting off your nose despite your face

                            Oh I'd love to see the "science " that masks increase viral infections

                              Mask nebulize virus making it airborne.

                                What do you know. I agree with AOC.
                                I guess he’ll is freezing over.

                                “After two accounts of sexual assault, four accounts of harassment, the Attorney General’s investigation finding the Governor’s admin hid nursing home data from the legislature & public, we agree with the 55+ members of the New York State legislature that the Governor must resign.”

                                BTW- I told you how poorly Cuomo was doing with pandemic last April. Just took 9 months for society to catch up.
