We used to have a raccoon named The Count of Monte Christo who kept coming back.

Paladino sez, “The people want the raccoons out of the basement.”

Media reports that Paladino sez, “Us Trump people hate coons.”

Thanks for that...had not seen it.

Rence sez, "This is now my basement, and I don't care who wants me and 'da boyz', like Mitt and Paul out."

If he had said we wanted the raccoons out of the white house, that would be racist, I think.

Raccoon look like masked criminals, not black people.

You got to think like a bigot to come up with an animal looking like a race.

Just Google ‘raccoons in ny’ as you’ll see they’re a big problem in NY.

... thought he was referring to Ted collecting Trump’s delegates:

Exterminators use a lot of poison.

A .22 is more fun, more sporting, and less indiscriminating...

Honest question; how did this cute little gray animal come to be an insult to African Americans?

[Brooklyn Attitude]

I once caught a coon in a havaheart trap and named him Mr Snarly. Not a happy critter.

I will hear about this soon enough.
Can’t wait to talk to Carl.
