I am waiting for these Trumpsters to kneel and bow their heads. !!!





@RonFilipkowski
At the rally last night for GOP VA Gov candidate Glenn Youngkin, they said the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ to a flag that was carried during the insurrection on Jan 6, as if it was sacred or something.

1. The Blutfahne

The Blutfahne, or Blood Flag, is a Nazi Party swastika flag that was carried during the attempted coup d'etat Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, Germany on 9 November 1923, during which it became soaked in the blood of one of the SA men who died.

It was used to bless other flags. It was considered sacred.

At least the Nazis were honest enough to call their attempted coup d'etat an attempted coup d'etat. These wimps with no honor are still trying to call it a "peaceful rally."

How can I put a picture here from my photos? It is easy on other boards. They have a picture icon. Am on IPAD.

Irving Berlin changed God Bless America after right wingers adopted the song. In order to avoid Nazi comparisons he change “guide her to the right” to “guide her through the night”.

In a sane country, a party in thrall to Donald Trump would be thoroughly voted out of office.

'Peaceful' she says.

They attacked police and killed some of their own.

We are seeing that on the right.

Masks and vaccines are more important than deaths, flags are more important than patriotism, crosses are more important than Christian ideals, slogans are more important than truth, a loony old pervert is seen as the embodiment of values.
