General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: As a first step: I am ending any show of respect for the U.S. flag, effective immediately. [View all]Because the enemies of the United States have pissed on our values, Institutions and our flag is no reason to cede the flag or anything else to the Trumpster's psychotic purposes. The NFL players were not disrespecting the flag or the National Anthem with their public protest. They were deliberately and with passion pricking the national conscience, reminding us all of our better angels, our allegiance to equality under the law, our right to demand Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness regardless of who we are, what we look like, where we come from.
The American flag is Our Flag not the the flag of traitors and mobsters. We cede nothing. We will bury these assholes and the Trumpster will rue the day he thought he'd become the Emperor of the World when he stole an American election and became a surrogate of Putin's Russia.
We cede Nada!
