This is fascism.
No it's not.
If he says "did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" I'll give him credit.
Look at what the first letter at the start of each paragraph in this resignation letter spells out.
So he is really going to pardon Joe Arpaio. It just doesn't stop.

Mindless Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts supports changing the name of Stonewall Street, even though nobody even knows if it was actually named after Stonewall Jackson (it arguably appeared on maps prior to Thomas Jackson getting that nickname). I've driven on or past that street thousands of times and never once thought of Stonewall Jackson.
If they change it, they should just change it to Jackson Street. That way, it can be named after Stonewall, Michael, Alan, Tito, DeSean, Jesse, Samuel L., Phil, Reggie, Browne, Pollock, Arnold, or anyone else who someone may appreciate or be offended by.
using a nickname like stonewall seems like a dumb way to remember someone and more likely a description of the wall the road likely ran past

An Alamance County commissioner referred to slaves as workers during a meeting of the county board of commissioners on Monday.
During an unscheduled discussion of Confederate statues and memorials at the commissioners’ meeting Monday, several commissioners stood firm in opposition of the removal of statues in communities across the country.
Republican commissioner Tim Sutton, a chartered member of the Sons of the Confederacy, then alluded to his family once owning slaves, as first reported in the Times News.
“I am not ashamed of my great-grandfather. He did what he did,” he said. “It is my understanding that when he died ... that some guys on the farm, you can call them slaves if you want to, but I would just call them workers, that they raised a good bit of my family. When the time came, my great-grandmother gave them land. I am not going to be an assault on logic, an assault on the history of this country and the heritage of this area and this country. Not going to do it.
