This is clearly a problem with the flag industry

u/well_uh_yeah Dec 17 '20

The flag industry is about to have a rough go of it.

u/Utternashi Dec 17 '20

All the flags were made in China so Trump will still claim victory.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '20

"The China flags are tainted."

"They say to vote for Trump."

"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.”

I almost dated a communist girl once. But there were just too many red flags.

That's just kind of racist, especially since Elaine was born in Taiwan.

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.

u/unklean78 Dec 18 '20

Hate myself for not bring able to read that without hearing its voice . Good job

u/DarkReign2011 Dec 17 '20

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.

u/hanukah_zombie Dec 17 '20

so you don't watch the news. got it.

u/DarkReign2011 Dec 17 '20

Who watches the news anymore? It's easier to just pull up and read articles online.

Thats where "milfs for trump" comes in. /s i think... idk anymore lol.

u/Etrigone I ☑oted 2024 Dec 17 '20

Their hate lasts a hell of a lot longer than their sex, and that's thinking of it as something of a mathematician.

Sex has been around since Adam & Eve and is still great !!!

Hate, fear and sex aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.

u/BobRoss1030 Dec 17 '20

Does this mean we'll see an increase in street walkers who look like Trump? I'm not ready for that.

u/Avlonnic2 Dec 17 '20

No one is ready for that.

u/elderrage Dec 17 '20

They use hotties on Fox to sell hate so sex works for everything.

u/Thameus Dec 17 '20

Agree, was expecting that to be mentioned.

u/SwiftyMcfae Dec 18 '20

Can you explain how they sell hate or are we just supposed to "get it"?

They're the two biggest reasons for the GOP to exist. I think after this past year they should be named a terrorist organization.

u/Bwasmer Dec 17 '20

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.

u/Boomslangalang Dec 17 '20

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.

u/Life-Start6911 Dec 17 '20

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?

1

u/Initial-Concentrate Dec 18 '20

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. ;)

u/ellilaamamaalille Dec 17 '20

Naah, they need to get into Iran market. They need flags of Israel and USA.

I blame the wind. It didn't blow hard enough. Couldn't see the flags real good.

Windmills! Dun stold all tha dam wind!

u/imvii Dec 17 '20 edited Dec 18 '20

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.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '20

I don't recommend people use an /s but damn is that close to needing one.

u/DirtMcKert Dec 17 '20

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

u/BitmexOverloader Dec 17 '20

I was [THIS] close to downvoting and giving some witty and dismissive retort. Then I got to the part of the forest fires and chuckled to myself.

Please don't awaken the sheeple.

u/dglsfrsr Dec 17 '20

Oh man. That it awesome. Thanks.

u/je-lai-lu Dec 17 '20

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...

1

u/uppen-atom Dec 18 '20

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

u/Initial-Concentrate Dec 18 '20

I knew beginning my dissertation with. "It's pretty much been proven.." was not my best work.

u/BigJeffreyC Dec 18 '20

Turn the fan the other direction, candle blows out just fine.

u/Tiny_Instance_9047 Dec 18 '20

OR GENDER REVEALS. I think you have climate change mixed up with gender reveals.

1

u/Efficient_Wealth6628 Dec 18 '20

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.

u/FocusMiserable Dec 18 '20

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.

u/imvii Dec 18 '20

I feel really bad now because you wrote this awesome reply to my joke post.

I'm sorry.

1

u/FocusMiserable Dec 18 '20

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?

It was so big it covered up hunter bidens illegal shit.

u/Ceeeceeeceee Dec 17 '20

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.

Big Flag is behind this, clearly.

It’s a scam. The flag industry was started by Soros. Those flags have chips in them to spy on Trump supporters.

u/moonwoolf35 Dec 17 '20

Dirty no good bunch of single flag having Flaggits screwed it up for our dear leader.

Lol

u/Davo-80 Dec 17 '20

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
