Has Spokane lost its mind?
Come on! What are we thinking? We are going to start changing names of things, and taking down statues … in Spokane? I had watched the fools on the other side of the state and around the nation and thought better minds would prevail here. Sorry, guess I was wrong.
Did you know that Jimmy Carter pardoned Jefferson Davis? Most of you probably don’t know who Jeff Davis was! He was the president of the Confederated States of America. Now, to Donald Trump causing chaos by pardoning Roger Stone. You need to Google “history of presidential pardons.” Every president since G. Washington has given pardons — some of them pretty unsavory characters. Obama pardoned a Puerta Rican terrorist who had not only carried out over 100 terrorist acts in the U.S., but had killed six people.
So, Spokane, get off your self-righteous, virtual-signaling high horse and try to think of some really good ways to improve our area!
