    It's not graffiti. They got a permit and permission from the city. In fact it was the city who commissioned it. The paint thrown other the top by Trump supporters is graffiti.

    The idea of tearing down Columbus is absurd and to let them do is even more.

    Columbus was a horrible piece of shit, why is it absurd? Because he "discovered" something people already were inhabiting? He was a shitty sailor as well. Fuck him. Get rid of all of his statues.

    It should have already been removed. If the city wont act, it's up to the people.

    I'm sure all the dont tear down the statues people over here were cheering as the Saddam statues were torn down many years ago.

    History books can remember these people for the vile pieces of shit they were. We dont need to memorialize them in public spaces.

    The Columbia River was named after the ship Columbia that was owned and navigated by Robert Gray, who those say he was tied t0 the slave trade. Should we change the name of our beloved Columbia River? Fuck no!

    I've heard that Columbus owned slaves. Did I hear wrong?
    By the way, the average life span of a slave working the sugar plantations in the West Indies. where Columbus worked the land, was 30 years old in those days. I read that in a biography of Hamilton that I got from hobbes.

    Right only senators are replaced by governors. U.S. representatives are replaced through a special election.
