Exactly so.

Expect all of this to ramp up exponentially.

The past three years has been a mere prelude to the madness.

Why not demand that all of Arlington graves be moved to another site? After all it is on land that once belonged to Robert E. Lee. Doesn’t leaving the dead there show support for the Confederacy?

Yes it is absurd.

Can’t wait for Trump to put them all back.

Don’t blame President Trump.

Why not?

There were 20 Senate Democrats that voted to confirm Alston.

And who gave them the opportunity to do that?

Oh, yeah: President Donald John Trump. The buck stops where?

To his haters, he can do no right.

To his sycophants, he can do no wrong.

It would be high comedy if the Republic weren't at stake.

No.

Civil War graves are basically all Union dead. Burying them there, and turning the Mansion into a hospital, was a big ol' middle finger to Gen. Robert E. Lee. The land was, in fact, taken by government fraud. Custis Lee eventually got a United States court order demanding the removal of the graves, the restoration of the property, and its return to the Lee family.

Instead of enforcing that court order, Custis Lee sold the property to Fedzilla for more than the equivalent of $5,000,000 in today's devalued currency. Because back then, Americans were at least trying to reconcile after the ravages of The Late Unpleasantness.

Filth like this "judge" are trying to tear America apart.

I don’t think slavery ever existed in the USA. Where is the proof?

I was being sardonic.

I think you are confusing the word “sardonic” with jejune.

Maybe he’s not acting on his own preferences, but in accordance with federal procedure. Maybe he couldn’t find a legal ground for permanently stopping the removal.

I was being sarcastic, using leftard logic. But I do appreciate the background.
