People that think we should’ve traded Simon Edvinsson and two young players (most likely Danielson and Finnie) plus a 1st round draft pick for Quinn Hughes will slowly be proven wrong throughout this year and for years to come. What an OT winner by Ed. #LGRW

I posted a vid of the chair Abe Lincoln was shot in at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, & simply cause I mentioned Dearborn, it is attracting bigots to the post. This post had nothing to do with the “protests” that went on in Dearborn, it was showing a piece of history. Just sad.

The chair Abraham Lincoln was shot in is at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The chair was taken and held as evidence by investigators and stayed with Secretary of War Edwin Stanton before it was moved to the Smithsonian and later acquired by Henry Ford in 1929. #history
