      It’s pretty newsworthy, when a noted flag-molester grossly violates US Flag Code.

        This is not part of flag code. Federal orders only apply to federal flags, like federal buildings and military bases. As noted in the article, Florida has ordered a corresponding period for state properly. But Mar-a-lago is entirely private property. We already know Trump is a piece of shit, we don’t need to give him more airtime.

      I agree with your stance, but I also think its important this stuff is committed to the public record, just so historians can be fully assured of his personality and that the people of the time did notice and scathe it too.

      I tend to agree. It’s disrespectful, but Trump doesn’t have a single respectful bone in his body. It’s another example of him being shitty or incompetent, but not much more than a headline.

      His advisors are salivating at their ideas on how to rip the country apart and turn it into some Christian nationalist hellhole further controlled by oligarchs. I really could give two shits about the flag.
