The Eisenhower Presidential Library’s director has exited his position after advocating against giving a sword from the collection to King Charles as a gift during Donald Trump’s recent state visit, according to US media reports on Thursday.

Todd Arrington left his post on Monday after being told to “resign or be fired”, he told CBS News, which did not specify who had relayed the message to the historian.

The library and museum – located in former US president Dwight D Eisenhower’s home town in Abilene, Kansas – is part of the National Archives and Records Administration (Nara).

    “Commonwealth” addresses part of the subject, so it’s a word that should be used in such a conversation.

    Not really, you’re just a weirdo that’s obsessed with the word. I was hoping to find out why. I got my answer. It’s summarily just something you’ve latched onto. 🥱

    One may generalize these into the same thing. Or one may not.

    I have noticed that most people (that aren’t from the 1800s) that continually use the word “one” like this tend to be intolerable flatulents. I think you match this observation.

    The point is that your ancestors …

    My point is that you do not choose your ancestors.

    Also you are not as smart as you think, for crying out loud. You haven’t done anything with what you came into the thread to argue about.

    You have no idea what I think nor why I even bothered replying.

    Evidenced by:

    You are a clown.

    Clowns intend to entertain. Maybe they succeed, maybe they don’t. Calling me a clown isn’t necessarily an insult (as intended) depending upon my motivations, which you’re clueless about because you’re too caught up in the smell of your own farts to ponder what they are.

      which you’re clueless about because you’re too caught up in the smell of your own farts to ponder what they are.

      You know, you really might be onto some important truth, with one little nuance.
