LEGO Asks Stores To Stop Advertising Police, White House Sets
Kotaku ^ | June 3, 2020 | Luke Plunkett

In recognition of everything that’s going on right now, LEGO’s actions for #BlackOutTuesday involved not just a $4 million donation to organisations devoted to racial equality, but a request for sellers to not advertise any sets involving police or the White House.

This is the Democrat/Left Party’s last stand against Trump’s re-election.

It's not the last thing they'll try. The next step is the JFK method.

It’s the American Cultural Revolution! 2020 is shaping up to be the end of our Republic, or the start of a new Civil War.

In other words you want your products to display only evil.

I wish you hadn’t mentioned that. I’ve been worried for President Trump’s safety since the rioting and looting broke out.

Maybe they should have vote-by-mail trucks. Fire trucks are next since they put out arsonists fires. Why no White
House??

They’d sell more sets if they included armed Park Police figures herding anarchists from the front of the White House.

That’s the way I see it too. Over the next five months, they will play every card they have and fire every arrow in their quiver. They know if they can’t get rid of Trump in November, everything they’ve been working toward over the last 60 years will go up in smoke, so they will not be holding anything back.

Right, because sucking up to the left with retroactive political convictions obviously trumps integrity to your contract with your customers.

Makes me glad I don’t have any grandchildren to have listen to their whining when I told them I wouldn’t be buying them any Legos EVER.

“This is the Democrat/Left Party’s last stand against Trump’s re-election. To them, it’s all or nothing ... they’re all-in and will stop at nothing ... even if they destroy —or try to destroy our Republic. If this isn’t clear, then nothing will ever be clear.”

Yep. See my tag line.
