President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

McElligot’s Pool was far and away my favorite bedtime book as a child. When our first was born, I bought a new copy because the old one was beat all to hell. My kids like it enough, but my sister and I can recite it by heart, each taking a page and going from there.

I guess the “Eskimo fish from beyond Hudson Bay” are what they’re calling racist, but I always just saw it as the opposite of “Some fish from the tropics, all sunburned and hot, might decide to swim up (well they might, might they not?).

 

honestly never liked the cat in the hat

when i really wanted to drag out bedtime i would select the 500 hats of bartholomew cubbins

that one was loooooong

 

The Cat in the Hat was magnitudes better than The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, which is all about fighting communism. And sucks.

 

He was absolutely a raging racist. That was the social more of the time.

 

Ongoing.

 

If I Ran the Zoo is selling for up to $480 on eBay. I need to find our copy of that and Mulberry Street, too.

 

I’ve seen blog posts going back at least to 2019 that talked about his racist depictions, and the company, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, said it made the decision last year. I won’t rule it out, but given the issues they’re tackling right now, I doubt Dr. Seuss took up even a square inch of real estate in the collective heads of the Biden Administration.

 

No, he was a raging racist.

Before Dr. Seuss Was Famous He Drew These Sad, Racist Ads

 

Same thing they did in their attempts to repeal Obamacare pre-Trump. Never had a plan, just wanted to do away with it, then swallowed hook, line and sinker Trump's "the greatest health care" talking point.

 

Looking forward to tens of thousands of GQP assholes dying, horribly, in front of their loved ones. By any means necessary.

 

They were racist then, just accepted.
