Trump's speech scheduled on ax-handle Saturday.

He loves him some racist dog whistles, don't he?

Gonna be a [BLEEP] show.

I'd chalk it up do ignorance if he didn't just plan a rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth.

Because he's aware of a pseudo-holiday that most people don't know about?

Because it's a slap in the face to those who recognize the date (that he's certainly aware of) and it serves to roil a segment of his base.  

The man has pushed racial division in America from the very get-go (birther) why would this be any different?

Fixed it for you.

I grew up in Jacksonville and my family subscribed to the newspaper.
The Florida times Union printed at least one article commemorating juneteenth every year. usually there was a picture of recently freed slaves to go along with it.

We were too poor to get the newspaper.

We would wait a week and take our neighbors bird cage paper after they threw it out. Never understood how Mom could afford raisins for the cereal the next day. We suspect she sold the paper to a stupid family that were too poor to get the paper.

But that doesn't sound so nice.
Never heard of ax handle Saturday, but trump is a racist!. They picked Jacksonville just so he could accept the nomination on Ax handle Saturday.

NYC has TDS to the point of no coming back.

I'd never heard of it either, but, maybe they should have taught us in school?
I know there were lots of similar incidents all over the south in those years.
But the schools did try to teach stuff specific to jacksonville, like about the Timucuans and Jean Ribault and the railroads and papermills and lots of other important parts of the city's history...
In high school I had a classmate on a mission to inform all of us of Johnnie Mae Chappel but it was definitely not on any official curriculum
We had previously scheduled our #MAGA Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for June 19th – a big deal. Unfortunately, however, this would fall on the Juneteenth Holiday. Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out...



Welp, guess we will have to find another way to accuse him of being a racist....

NYC is chalking up giant L's lately.
Now it looks like there is a possibility that it might not happen in Jacksonville.

"President Donald Trump said Tuesday the GOP is "always looking at different things" when discussing whether the Republican National Convention will still be hosted in Florida as cases of COVID-19 spike in the state."

Meh... I really couldn't care less about the Republican convention.  I'm looking forward more to the debates... assuming Biden comes out of his basement to debate.  That will be TV gold.

One of the spots being considered is TIAA Bank Field. @HURRICANE!'s joke about tarps and Trump's attendance shortfalls is even funnier now.
