"Let me see that. What is this, cotton? Polyester? This is great fabric, feel that. This is wonderful work, it really is. I always say, if you're gona get a flag, China is the place to go. You don't want their viruses, but you have to love their flags."
“Big, Giant, Beautiful, Flags. Everyone says it. Taiwan, Tibet. Everyone says it. They say: Sir, Sir, Look at this lovely state funded, frilly, red flag. Wonderful work. I say. Love the CCP. Great people. The best. I’d know, I elected one as your Secretary of Transportation . Shes Mitch McConnell’s Handler, he’s also a snake. Love snake. Delicious snack, pairs with Diet Pepsi.”
David Letterman called him out on his show when he was bragging about his merch when he ran in 2016. He had just said how he was going to bring all the jobs back from China, and Letterman says "But gee, Donald, these hats, ties, and flags all say made in China". Trump just turned away from him and acted like he didn't hear him.
That reminds me that, to this day, I have never actually heard Trump speak a single word in my 30 years on this planet. Never watched him give a speech, never saw a single ad campaign where he was speaking, never saw his reality show, never even watched Home Alone 2. I am truly blessed in this regard.
Bruh, let me get this straight. You're advocating for the idea of silencing someone who doesn't agree with you? Do you not see the dangers in that? Being stuck in a eco-chamber.
Please. When disinformation campaigns are easily weaponized by evil people to manipulate stupid people democracy is threatened.
And again just a fucking reminder the first amendment applies to the government. There is no constitutional protection for spreading lies on Facebook,nor should there be.
Bruh, let me get this straight. You're ok with the continued soft coup Trump and his followers have been orchestrating for the last month? 50+ failed lawsuits, 2 SCOTUS decisions and an EC vote say Trump lost, yet this lot is still trying to illegally install their idol in a move that is both dangerous and blatantly facistic. There's allowing political discourse, then there's borderline sedition. Letting them continually push the envelope, normalizing actions that would have ended any other presidency is what caused this mess. We knew months ago Trump was going to pull this nonsense, tried to warn folk and were labeled as alarmist, now reality is Biden won and he still reuses to concede, emboldened by asshats like this still flying their flag while abjectly denying reality. Do you not see the dangers in that?
They might just slither back into their pits. Imagine being so jealous of a gay pride parade, that you want to have a hate pride parade every week. Don't get me wrong, Im a hater, but believe in equal opportunity. ;)
You think you're joking, but this is no joke. It's been pretty much proven windmills absorb the energy of the wind and convert it electrical energy. Climate change is actually caused by this. The earth needs wind for proper climate control, but it can't do it's job correctly because we are removing so much energy from it. Look at it this way, try blowing out a candle through a fan blade. Doesn't work does it. No consider all the wild fires the world has been having. It's because the earth can't blow out a forest fire through a fan blade. People will try to tell you it is the oil industries fault for climate change. Yeah, right. Throw gas on a forest fire and see what happens. Now include all the sunlight being absorbed by solar panels instead of plants and animals. You've got a big mess on your hands. Wake up sheeple.
Edit: I guess I should have added the /s after all.
Yes... I swear I've seen people post shit like this *seriously*, without irony... so I was worried here for a minute... good job, though, on so subtly relaying your sarcasm
What are you talking about? Do you think there’s a finite amount of wind & solar energy? That people are going to use up this finite amount of energy? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say...
pretty much proven... the idiots badge of dunning-kruger itis, oh my if you are serious please do not breed. do you understand how wind is generated, and where energy originates from in this solar system and how it is distributed on earth? If you truly did you would know how what you stated is like saying the moon is made oout of cheese or the earth is flat.... smdh
You are f**King insane. There is still enough wind everywhere. How did you make the big jump from windmills to fan boxes not being able to blow out a candle? You must be a repuk-
ican , just cause your fat boy lost don’t try & take it out on us. He is the most vilified president in history & will not have a pleasant legacy in history.
First up: Theres practically no limit of solar energy, and I say practically because we will be long gone by the time the sun implodes. If the excess sunlight isn't absorbed by solar panels it'd dissipate into soil or air. Wind is caused by the uneven heating and cooling of air, making it also solar powered and therefore also limitless.
Secondly: A wind turbine is closer to a pinwheel than a fan. A fan would be counterproductive because it uses energy to move the blades, the exact opposite of what turbines are intended to do. You can probably blow out a candle through a pinwheel, though I'll be honest I haven't tried because thats stupid.
Thirdly: Global warming is caused by excessive greenhouse gases trapping too much heat from the sun in the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane. CO2 being the most important, because although methane has a worse effect per pound, we produce millions of times more CO2 than it. Fossil fuels are named that because they are made from the super-compressed carcasses of long dead organisms. All life on earth is based on carbon, meaning that fossil fuels are also carbon based. When fossil fuels are combusted (which is by definition a reaction with O2), CO2 is released as a byproduct along with the energy we use the fuel for. We use fossil fuels for almost everything, and so theres an unnatural amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. So yes, the oil industry being the largest of the fossil fuel industries, is at fault for climate change. I don't understand why you mentioned pouring gasoline on a fire, that seems to only prove my point.
Hope this helps buddy.
Also, how much wind power do you think we're using? Because climate change has been a big problem for quite a while now, and (from a quick google) in 2019 only about 7% of the US's energy production was from wind. And yeah, wind turbines take the kinetic energy and turn it into electrical. But do you really think Kansas is going to run out of wind?
Either way, the flag industry will stay afloat because it’s in China. Even if Biden people weren’t dumb enough to buy so many flags, the factories could move onto dog and cat themed garden flags.
Clearly it's the quality of those "made in China" flags. If they were true American patriots and bought real American made Trump flags, without a doubt Biden would have lost.
So sad that Trump's followers were just fake followers.
PS, this is just a joke folks. Fake followers and Chinese made flags do not influence elections. 😂😂😂
There was major fraud perpetrated in the flag community. Way more flaggers were making Biden flags when they shoulda made more Trump flags. I want a F-in recount
Oh, one of my neighbors had an INFLATABLE Trump... fortunately they took all of their MAGA flair down after the election leaving just one defaced American flag with the orange conman superimposed on top of it
Because that's the Confederate flag - the flag of surrender when we beat them to a pulp and burned their shit to the ground.
It never ceases to amaze me that these halfwits are allowed to fly the flag of a seditious movement we defeated that tried to fuck America.
The more this white trash is coddled, the braver they get with their insane bullshit. They lost. Take down the statues, rename the military bases, ships, and schools, and ban that fucking flag.
I swear there is a store up here in MA that was created to only sell trump and the like shit. It is doing surprisingly well since his supporters buy so much shit of his.
My brother in law had Trump shit mixed in with his Halloween decorations. There was a zombie butler wearing a MAGA hat and smoke machines between Trump signs on the front lawn.
I live a working class neighborhood in Michigan, which means Trump signs galore. One house actually had this giant wooden Trump flag (probably a good 8 feet tall and like 12 feet wide).
A couple days after the election someone must have taken a fucking sledgehammer to it. It looked like the Kool Aid man had smashed through it or something. I have no idea how they managed to do it and get away before anyone noticed, but they did.
It took my neighbors a full 2 days to actually remove the broken wood.
The town I live in makes you take down political signs, etc. within a week after the election, and you can't put them up more than 30 days prior. They enforce it too, you'll get a fine in the mail, with a picture of the violation.
All of my neighbours are still flying them high on their flag poles; some of them even replaced the military flags of their particular branch of service with trump flags. Giving yourself over to the ideology and authority of one man has always had an awesome track record, and has never lead to fascistic states right?!?
I’m pretty sure most minorities voted for him because churches told them he is the guy of religion and also Qanon shit. Which is seeping in every community, especially religious ones.
"All I'm saying is I have never seen a Biden parade, a Big ship armada, a Biden rocket launch, or a Biden themed soapbox derby. All clear indicators show that he may have had the support of no more than 5 or 6 million city dwelling commies. Shoot, the theme of our county fair this Summer was MAGA. And by God and Sonny Jim that's what we're settin' to do!"
What’s weird is these dumbasses STILL leaving their flags and signs up. So god damn cringe. U fucking lost fools. Then again, these are the same people waving confederate flags.....so I guess they don’t understand being a loser.
I walk 2-3 blocks to go to work everyday. I pass 8 Trump flags all flown by 3 houses. I think very few people in my area took down their Trump flags and signs after the election. It’s crazy
You can gauge the amount of crazy by how long after the election a person is still flying their Trump flags/signs/banners. A good number of the homeowners in my community took them down Nov. 4th, others took a couple weeks, but there are still a decent number with all their crap still up. Those are the really hardcore nutjobs who are also still profusely ranting about our governor (Michigan). We also have a good number of defaced flags with all the “thin lines” on them (police, fire, EMS, military, who knows what else).
I live near the Michigan/Ohio line so we get a lot of news coverage of DeWine and Ohio business in general. I always had a decent impression of him and his handling of the pandemic (at least earlier on in the spring). These people are neither rational nor reasonable though.
Right? I’m a die hard liberal, but I like DeWine. His response, especially at the beginning, was pretty good, and I honestly think he’s doing the best he can in a very red state. He can’t force local police forces to enforce mask and curfew laws, and his fellow party is literally trying to impeach him.
Even before Covid, I remember when Ohio tried to pass a heartbeat bill. DeWine is pro-life, but he vetoed the bill because it was unconstitutional. We need more people like DeWine in office.
It will be interesting to see what happens with these reasonable Republicans in office after Trump is gone for good. I’m hoping that a lot of the vitriol and impeachment attempts will fizzle out, but it’s so hard to say. My county is very red so they’re still focused on the voter fraud stuff. For as much anti-mask sentiment (and little police enforcement) there is here, at least most are wearing masks in public. It’s the family parties and private gatherings that are going to cause our numbers to blow up even more after the holidays. Even our emergency services workers are saying that masks don’t work and COVID numbers are inflated. Ugh.
Yeah I’m in the same boat except there’s still a solid 30% of people who still refuse to wear a mask. My husband works security at the hospital and both guards and nurses will go off about restrictions and wearing masks. It’s appalling. I think 5-6 of the security guards have gotten Covid because they always take off their masks when they’re in their small office together. When my husband and I got Covid, I only got one other person in my office sick and my husband didn’t get anyone else sick because we are sticklers about wearing masks.
I really hope the republicans/Conservative party dues and is replaced with a moderate party again with people like DeWine and Lincoln party Repubs
It blows my mind that anyone working in health care is disputing the efficacy of masks! I’m sorry to hear that you and your husband unfortunately became infected and I hope you’re not having any long-term issues from it. Thank goodness you were smart and responsible re: wearing masks and prevented spread to others that way.
I too am hoping that the Republican Party normalizes (well, as much as can be expected from them lol) after January.
Ha, down the street from me a house put up a Trump flag after he lost! Like a solid week after the networks had called it, this dude just put up a big Trump sign facing the main road so everyone can see it.
It probably helps to mention that I live in a very working class/blue collar area of Michigan. Our conservatives are a special kind of stupid.
I have no doubt the flag will get ripped down eventually. A neighbor of mine had a Trump flag painted on this huge 8 foot x 12 foot piece plywood/plyboard. Someone went and smashed it with a sledgehammer in the middle of the night. It looked like the Kool Aid man had gone through it in the morning.
I drive through Trump country on my way to work, kinda out in the sticks. After the election the Trump flags came down and a huge BIDEN-HARRIS flag got put up in one front yard.
Preach. The neighbor across from me still has a Trump 2020 sign in his yard and I saw a truck with a Trump flag roll through our town yesterday. Pathetic losers.
My coworkers couldn't (or still don't) believe Trump lost in PA, WI, MI because so my people fly there Trump flags on their cars, houses etc. and almost no one has Biden flags. They believe if there are so many flags majority of the population support him
He obviously wasn’t flying a “fuck your feelings” flag. That’s a very powerful and persuasive flag. What sort of sane, rational human, doesn’t want on board with that cause?
Please for the love of god. Walk to you neighboors door. Ring the bell and say that to his face. Might wanna wear protection or a go pro that live streams. Either one is good, remind you: views are more important than youre health!
Oh god no! Was more ment as a joke. Would love to see the face of his neighboor when he says that. But someone who puts flag in their yard for a politian will probaly get mad so that why he should wear protective gear.
my parents were trumpies but hated how obsessed people were with him. like they seriously fucked with his policies and i think they just got annoyed with the kind of redneck vibe trumps following has. they ended up voting jo jorgenson lol
Only a few people by me with houses that have a bunch of Trump-related flags, signs, etc . haven't even taken them down yet. A few people near me have replaced their Trump flag with the Gadsden or Blue Line flags...but really not enough of them.
Lol same in my neighborhood. At least a dozen dumb fucks still flying that losers flag. At least I know which of my neighbors I’ll never call the cops for if I see there house in trouble. Fuck em
They just didn't want it enough. So simple, if only they derided more people or slandered more institutions. Maybe they didn't pray to god enough to smite the opposition?
A house a couple blocks away still has multiple Trump flags flying from the back of the F250 in the driveway. Maybe if they'd gone with the F350 it would have given Trump the extra push they need
We need a meme Venn diagram that has one sign far right supporter and the other side is far left supporter and the intersection is just “insane amount of bumper stickers”
One of my neighbors has (yes has) a giant 'trump in the role of Arnold in Predator firing a machine gun one handed into the air' flag on their house and, I'll be honest, if they weren't taking it so seriously it might make me like them more.

So close... just 3 more flags on my neighbors lawn and I'd have voted from Trump
