Man With Huge Donnie Flag Prepared To 'Go To Jail'

[WHITT]

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Minnesota man refuses to take down a "Trump 2020" flag that's in violation of city ordinance. Jay Johnson is flying the custom-made flag on a crane at his construction business in Buffalo.

He says he took down the flag, which measures 50 feet by 30 feet, after the election — but decided to put it back up last month. But now, Johnson is in violation of the law. Buffalo city ordinance says a sign that big needs to be licensed, which he hasn’t applied for. A city official says they’re determining how to proceed with enforcement.

He says the flag cost $1,000, and the crane cost $50,000. "I am prepared to get the fines, ultimately get cuffed, go to jail, whatever," he said.

LOCK HIM UP!

[Goodheart]

1. So be it.

[Arkansas Granny]

2. Stupid is as stupid does.

3. Fine him and send his sorry ass to jail.

[vercetti2021]

4. Sad pathetic little loser

Willing to go to jail over fatty donnie. God these fucking losers are so pathetic I almost feel sorry for them

[Dustlawyer]

33. I like that they fly his flag and keep their bumper stickers!

I want to know I am dealing with an idiot first, if I have to interact with them.

The Trumpster by my house just took down his two flags and three big signs. At least some finally accept defeat.

[BobTheSubgenius]

44. Honestly, I don't think you do.

[vercetti2021]

51. You're right I don't lol

I wouldn't piss on them even if they were on fire.

[BobTheSubgenius]

56. Atta boy!

Own it! Own them!!!

[vercetti2021]

57. Girl

Lol but yes

[EYESORE 9001]

5. I don't foresee jail time

unless he drags it into court, gets even more stupid, and goads the judge into finding him in contempt. I guess refusing to pay the fines would work too.

[Bristlecone]

6. He's prepared to go to jail because he's too lazy to apply for a license

Per ordinance. Just another sorry trump loving a-hole who thinks rules and laws are for other people.

[wnylib]

43. Maybe he's not too lazy to apply for a license.

Considering how confrontational magats are and how much they enjoy grandstanding for their "principles," it's possible that he just wants to make a public issue out of refusing to get a license.

The part of the story that boggles my mind is the amount he spent on the flag and crane. That's a guy with an ego almost as big as as his orange idol's.

[BobTheSubgenius]

45. Well, it's a classic case of government overreach, isn't it?

[KentuckyWoman]

7. LAW AND ORDER !!!11!!!

8. Jay Johnson:

[PatSeg]

16. $1000 for the flag and $50,000 for the crane???

Is he the biggest chump on the planet? Not to mention, that is incredibly ugly.

[brush]

20. $1000 for the flag? Ok, maybe. But $50,000 for the crane is certified nuts.

What is with these brainwashed fools?

[PatSeg]

54. Seriously!

Who has $50,000 to throw away like that? Definitely certified nuts.

[Piasladic]

24. Why am I not suprised he is an old, white dude?

I swear they're all all law and order - until they want to break the law. Has he chanted "Lock her up?" I wonder how he'd do with a couple years in jail.

My next speculation is on his relationship status.

[bluestarone]

30. What the fuck is wrong with these unamericans?

Wish they would ALL fucking die!

[leftieNanner]

37. Why do they all look like this?

I drive by a giant T**** P**** sign on a fence in front of a burned down house frequently.

Today, I decided that it's just sad (in a sick sort of way) that the property owner still thinks MAGA is a winning thing.

SMDH

[BobTheSubgenius]

46. Kind of a near-perfect metaphor, though.

Maybe even fully perfect.

[leftieNanner]

49. You're right

The only things still standing are the white fence and the sign.

[Bleacher Creature]

9. Does he know that the election is over? NT

[SunSeeker]

28. This isn't about the election. That flag is just a substitute for the Nazi or Confederate flag.

Invariably, it is flown by white supremacist assholes to mark their territory and own the libs.

[BobTheSubgenius]

47. Or that it's 2021?

What's that old saying? A year late and a pail of synapses short?

[PortTack]

10. All that money wasted! When it could actually do some good..stupid ppl

[Grokenstein]

21. At least the big dummy is stimulating the economy.

[Generic Brad]

11. Jail can be arranged

All Chucklenuts has to do is to keep it up.

[mikeysnot]

12. Link?

to this?

[onecaliberal]

13. They talk really tough right up until their ass IS sitting in jail.

After that, not so much.
See: Every single insurrection loser at their Arraignment.

[Diamond_Dog]

14. Go Ahead, Do it

Haul his ass to jail. Fine his ass every day that monstrosity is still flying. Do it!

[spanone]

15. just another arrogant dt asshole. fine him & jail him.

[jpak]

17. Make it so

Engage

[keithbvadu2]

18. For all that money, he could afford to make it say 2024.

For all that money, he could afford to make it say 2024.

Now it looks even more stupid.

[ironflange]

19. So toss him in the slammer then listen to him cry. Boo hoo hoo.

[turbinetree]

22. Well since he doesn't understand rules, then show him what a rule means ...Lock Him UP

[spinbaby]

23. What is it with Trumpists and their flags?

Every time I drive through the countryside here in western PA, I see them. This morning, just on my way to buy plants, I saw probably half a dozen Trump flags, plus a big, ugly homemade sign.

[Aristus]

25. Yeah, the people who bellow "I'm prepared to go to jail!" the loudest,

are always the ones who whine “I didn’t commit a REAL crime like THOSE guys did!”

“Is prison food organic?”

“Can I go to my cousin’s wedding in Croatia first? I’ll come right back! I promise!”.

[littlemissmartypants]

36. Exactly! All of the above! Aristus, you are definitely hitting the nail on the head!

[Aristus]

39. Thank you.

[littlemissmartypants]

40. ❤ nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

48. And you.

[Dan]

26. Nooooo, since he is in violation of City ordinances

Invalidate any City/State? Contracts that he has.

Invalidate any business that does business with him, from having a City/State? Contract.

Let him have his flag, just put him out of business.

[Xavier Breath]

27. Good news for all the non-traitor-supporting

construction business in Buffalo. Hopefully they'll see some of his smarter (and now former) clients coming through the door.

[SunSeeker]

31. I walked into a takeout restaurant yesterday and saw a Trump flag propped up near the door.

The place was empty, and they immediately offered to take my order. I said I don't do business with people who fly that flag, and I walked out. By the looks of the place, I'm not the only one.

[SWBTATTReg]

38. Good for you. Voting w/ your pocket book seems to be the most effective way to

shut these idiots. The My Pillow guy is also finding out the hard way that people don't particularly like his traitor talk (he wanted trump to declare martial law and take Biden's win away from him, let rump remain).

Everywhere these scumbags will learn the hard way (all brought on by themselves too, an especially delicious fact) that their pocket books will be hurt by their actions.

[BobTheSubgenius]

50. But he has 100% proof that he's going to drop any day now.

[ashredux]

29. He has never been in jail....he has no idea....he will have a shock soon

[SunSeeker]

32. Yep.

[Iggo]

41. So much this.

They just don’t know.

[catbyte]

34. What a stupid, idiotic hill to die on. jfc

[CaptainTruth]

35. It's a fking cult.

[littlemissmartypants]

42. Who's going to tell him it's 2021 now and he needs to update his flag and

This time make it twice as big.

Go big or go home right?

[Cha]

52. Bye Brainwashed Stupid *****

[ShazamIam]

53. Funny, going to jail won't keep the flag flying, but, then we never thought all those devotees of,

freedom and liberty, would become active personality cult devotees.

[kacekwl]

55. Send a fine in the mail

and forget about him. Now he will be on tv with his stupid flag. Stupid is as stupid does.

[Grins]

58. Your terms...

"I am prepared to get the fines, ultimately get cuffed, go to jail, whatever.”

...are accepted. Your turn, city of Buffalo. Going to enforce your legal ordinances...?
