he has tarnished the title, and the position. Freaking racist that he is.

We all know he is a racist and bigot and has no moral compass, correct?

There are too many factors in play right now to dismiss them as simply a pipedream of the left.

But the city is keeping those, and the Mayor is going to have the confederate traitor's statues moved.

Raygun courted them more actively but promptly shoved them in the background after the election and Poppy kept them there too.

This is the first time since Woodrow Wilson that the very bottomless pit of scum and lecherous villany have been so publicly courted. Don't be surprised if he or his staff screen "Birth of a Nation" in the WH just like Wilson did when it first released 102 years ago.

If anything, he SHOULD screen the newest film with that same title instead -

There's a decent chance that someone in that man's family fought in WWII. I wonder how they'd feel to see that flag flying.

There is nothing "beautiful" about monuments to the traitors who fought to preserve the scourge of slavery. The Civil War was undoubtedly one of the darkest moments in our country's history. The people who fought to tear our country apart should not be revered.

What an unconscious buffoon!

Isn't he the one selling off our parks, and destroying natural monuments!

His mind is truly on vacation, and his mouth is working overtime!

I'm sure he also mourns the "beauty" of all those swastika monuments our troops blew up after the war.
