With the Racist-in-Chief. Who also loves him some violence, so long as he's not involved in it:

Could it be because Juneteenth, the day the Emancipation Proclamation was first read in Texas in Galveston, is now an unofficial national holiday? Gotta think that "holiday" rankles Trump as much as anything else, frankly. And no, they're aren't obtuse or stupid: the staff is just as racist as the boss (how else do you work there?).

I think there's a reckoning coming. I just hope it goes beyond renaming military bases and pulling down statues, or even changing a few laws. That's the easy part.
