1) The comments are NOT happy about A&E canceling Live PD. 2) I wonder if/what the NASCAR opinion overlap (or lack thereof) would be? - ty97 Jun 10, 19:06 7

Bernie Sanders on 'Defund the Police': No. (???????) -- (link) - ty97 Jun 10, 18:55 2
- Tap dancing around the trigger word, mostly. It’s a misleading headline at the very least, not supported by any quotes in the article itself. -- nm - znufrii Jun 10, 19:00 1
