and throwing it to the ground and hoisting the trump flag over the Country? They should begin the trial each day with that video. I will tell you one thing ..... of all the video's that I sent out to trumpers in my world that one had the most impact! No matter what ..... showing the goons taking Old Glory down and removing her from flying freely over the Capitol building really made them take a pause, made them angry .... changed minds right on the spot! Please show that video. Very powerful.

(1,202 posts)How in anyone's mind, can you call yourself an American patriot if you do something like this? It's truly a cult. They worship Trump.

(3,741 posts)This was a an insurrection ... taking down you enemies flag and hoisting your own? Isn't that a military objective? A Coup? Who is that person with that trump flag? How did he get access to that Capitol flag pole? I have plenty of question just concerning this clip.

(182,632 posts)On an Army post (at least this was what we were told) there is one truck, its the ball at the top of the flag pole. In it are a .45 round, matches, and a razor blade. In the event that the post is being overrun lay the whole flagpole down to the north and dig 6 feet (I think it was) down to find a .45 pistol. Cut the field of blue out of the flag with the razor. Burn the flag in two pieces. You have a pistol and one round.....figure that out for yourself.
The idea that theres a pistol just buried in the ground or that youd have time to do all that always seemed a bit far fetched to me but thats what they used to train us on.
