1. Americans have become a disgrace.

I am embarrassed to be an American.
I never thought I would say that.

3. The only proper use of Old Glory in that case...

Tear it in half and use it to hang the bastards from a yard arm. If additional nooses are required, take them off the dead and reuse them.

7. Yeah, it touched the ground and then just wadded up. They should deport him.

9. It was a Bavarian comic pretending to be an American

The mayor of Greenland’s capital has called on media professionals and content creators to act responsibly after a German comedian’s failed attempt to hoist the US flag.

Maxi Schafroth, 41, a Bavarian comic, tried to run up the Stars and Stripes on a flagpole near the cultural centre in Nuuk but was confronted by angry passersby.

When questioned he claimed to be a US official, before leaving to disapproving looks from local people, according to an Agence France-Presse journalist at the scene. Local media said Schafroth was reported to the police and fined.

Avaaraq Olsen, the mayor of Sermersooq district, which includes the capital, was outraged. “Raising a flag at our capital cultural centre, the flag of a military superpower that for weeks has been implying military force against our country, is not a joke. It is not funny. It is immensely harmful,” she said in a statement.
