Flagpoles as overcompensation? Having my coffee, and catching a friend

[niyad]

up on the latest insanity, it occurred to me (belatedly) that those insanely tall flagpoles are overcompensation for what Stormy called his "tiny mushroom", and for his true lack of height (pictures of him next to spawn 5, and to Merz, for example). I know this had already occurred to others, but I nearly upset the poor squirrels trying to eat their breakfast.

1. Or cosmetic cover for his 'image' while he betrays the nation.

[niyad]

13. Not enough orange spackle for that.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Yes we have been having a Freudian field day with the flagpoles.

Seems beyond obvious.

[niyad]

14. Yes, it is obvious, but as I said, I was a bit distracted.

[SheltieLover]

3. Yes & for all we know there might be something about those phallic symbols

that could enable other regiemes to spy on the US.

7. Dear Goddess, I had not gotten that far yet! Definitely need more caffeine!

[SheltieLover]

11. Sorry to jolt you pre-caffeine.

That was the first thought I had when I read of this story

2nd thought: likely to fly 2 ruskie flags at WH.

3rd thought:

Always remember Nancy's words, "All roads lead to russia..." As accurate a statement as "Follow the money."

[niyad]

15. Sadly, disgustingly true.

[SheltieLover]

17. Yup. Every action of his is against America.

[Justice matters.]

4. 88 feet tall and 88 Billions in illegal tariffs revenue...

Freudian slips for Heil Hitler's reincarnate.

When it quacks like a duck...

[niyad]

16. !!!

5. First thing that occurred to me, but my mind trends there anyhow.

I saw those flagpoles and thought, Dude, you might as well just tell us straight up that you’re perpetually distraught over the fact that you have a teeny weenie.

[niyad]

8. My mind usually does, but I was a bit distracted this week.

[travelingthrulife]

6. Probably, but the fact that he kept mentioning it was 88ft tall tells me it is likely

a sign to his Hitler fans that Nazis are in control of the country. 88 designates Hitler is white supremacist land.

[niyad]

10. I did not even catch that. I kept thinking that 88 feet was an unusual

number but that skipped reich by me.

[John1956PA]

18. Exactly. Usually he exaggerates. This time he is specific.

[Igel]

23. Leavitt was specific.

Trump was trumpishly vague, almost 100 feet tall.

The manufacturer's in TX and off-the-shelf makes 80' poles. They do custom jobs, but that seems like a freakish difference. (Their examples of custom jobs are things like a 200' flag pole.)

Leavitt says only wrong things, unless it's juicy. I figure she goofed.

[John1956PA]

24. Thank you for clarifying that it was Leavitt who was specific about the height.

[Kali999]

9. seriously

I think those flag poles came from Maine. Some fruitcake wanted to put them up and cash in on it with a store . They voted it down. Biggest flag poles in the world he claimed. Mainers weren't too keen on it.

[niyad]

12. Reminds me of the idiot who wanted to build 100-story building in our

downtown. The tallest building in our entire city and environs is 15 stories.

[John1956PA]

19. I think you are correct. Trump paid zero for them because the Mainer gave them away.

Trump bragged that he paid for them with his own funds. Okay, there might have been nominal consideration involved.

I do not know who paid for the transportation and installation costs.

[niyad]

22. He never pays for anything. But, he also considers Treasury as his

personal piggy bank.

[The Blue Flower]

20. The right height for transmission

We'll never know what's been embedded in them.

[niyad]

21. Sheltie Lover pointed out that disturbing possibility. .Yikes.

on the other hand, they don't need to bother. .since he and his whole rotten bunch just give it away.
