  1. 590,000 buyers paid $59 million for Trump’s gold phone — not 1 has shipped and refunds look unlikely

    More than a half million people paid $100 each for a gold smartphone featuring an American flag that…

  2. The image depicts a distorted representation of the American flag, suggesting a potential commentary on national identity or current events. #AmericanFlag #Symbolism

  3. A little far-right demonstration in the nation's capital today.

    If you don't like this image, it might mean you suffer from trump derangement syndrome, or so I've heard it said.

    (It seems curious to me as to why _their_ flags are upside down. Maybe they just got a little confused.)

  4. Since #Arizona has been in the news, here’s a normal sight. At Costco business center yesterday. I had to see who was driving this car. Now I’m trying hard not to stereotype. But. Think Travis in Taxi Driver when he went crazy and with the odd Mohawk hair. Only make him weigh about 300 pounds. And while he was pumping #Karen his wife joined him. Totally a “Karen”, also hefty. They both were strutting around their car and looking around to see who was looking at them. #Flags #Costco #Phoenix #AmericanFlag #America

    Donald Trump vs. Antonin Scalia on burning the American flag

    Analysis by Zachary B. Wolf, Aug 25, 2025

    President Donald Trump sees an epidemic of flag burning and says it needs attention.

    “All over the country they’re burning flags,” Trump said Monday in the Oval Office, declaring it an important issue. He signed an executive order directing his Justice Department to investigate incidents of flag burning where laws are broken.

    There are a few problems with his claim, the first of which is that it’s not at all clear they’re burning flags all over the country.

    There are incidents of flag burning at protests, surely, such as when pro-Palestinian protesters burned an American flag alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress last year.

    That burning drew bipartisan opposition. Then-Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the act and said the flag “should never be desecrated in that way.”

    ‘Sad’ Supreme Court protected flag burning as speech

    But beyond the question of whether flags are indeed being burned all over the country is the fact that the Supreme Court, back in 1989, declared flag burning to be a protected form of speech under the First Amendment.

    Trump acknowledged that decision by a “sad” Supreme Court, and his executive order is seemingly written to address the Supreme Court’s flag burning decisions.

    The administration will try to prosecute other crimes, like violent crimes, hate crimes and crimes “against property and the peace,” as a way to deter flag burning, according to a White House fact sheet.

    Trump spoke to that Supreme Court decision when he said the simple act of burning the flag is an incitement.

  6. #MAGA really wants it to be legal to burn a #PrideFlag, while Trump wants jail for #AmericanFlag burners

    Excerpt: "Trump supporters, as well as the president himself, have been accused of desecrating the American flag in other ways.

    "During the January 6 insurrection, Trump supporters replaced an American flag at the U.S. Capitol with a Trump flag, and one protester used Old Glory as a weapon against police officers.

    "At the White House, the administration has replaced Hillary Clinton’s first lady portrait with a painting imposing Donald Trump’s face over the American flag.

    "On the 2020 campaign trail, meanwhile, Trump replaced the American flag with the police-themed Thin Blue Line flag at rallies."

  7. So, the #FlagBurning stuff is BULLSHIT! #MAGA-types desecrate the #AmericanFlag ALL THE TIME! For instance, you're not supposed to wear the flag on your ass or let it fly in tatters! These idiots don't even follow proper flag protocol!!! How many of them "retire" their flags properly? I learned this stuff in scouts! This is just another excuse to arrest people who #protest!!! Like COMBAT VETERANS!!!

  8. The American flag doesn't just belong to Trump's MAGA enthusiasts — it belongs to all of us

    Yes. It really irks me that, when I see an American Flag I immediately, there is a #MAGA cult member. It should definitely NOT be that way.

  9. A cheap, non-obvious, D.C.-adjacency-required way to get a quality American flag

    The American flag we’d bought in the summer of 2021 had faded and then developed a tear at one corner, so it was time to buy a replacement. That’s been a task that’s come due every three to four years over our two decades and counting of home ownership–the Stars and Stripes are not forever when subjected to mid-Atlantic weather–but this time I wanted to research my options instead of throwing still more money at Amazon.

    At some point, probably in the middle of work-related clicking around, that shopping research led me to my congressman’s Web site. Rep. Don Beyer (D.-Va.), like other members of Congress, has a flag-request form that I’d thought of only as a way to buy a flag flown over the Capitol. But on actually eyeballing that form, I realized that I could buy an unflown, 3-by-5-foot cotton flag for just $15… at a mandatory shipping cost of $10.75.

    Paying that much for shipping bothered me when I can get to and from the Capitol for $6 and change via Metro, less if I use Capital Bikeshare on the way there. Fortunately, the legislative branch of the U.S. has two houses, so I checked the site of Sen. Tim Kaine (D.-Va.) and saw that I could buy the same flag at the same $15 price and pick it up for free. Sold!

    (Sen. Mark Warner, D.-Va., also offers free flag pickup; I’m not aware of complaints about Rep. Beyer’s constituent service, so maybe this is a site-template issue on the House side?)

    Three business days later, I got an e-mail from a staff assistant for Sen. Kaine saying the flag was ready for pickup at his office in the Russell Senate Office Building. I stopped by Tuesday evening on the way to an event in Navy Yard, appreciating the Russell Building’s handsome Beaux-Arts architecture, then attached our reasonably-priced purchase to the flagpole on our front porch Wednesday morning.

    Sometime that afternoon or evening, a gust of wind put enough strain to crack a plastic bracket on one of the flagpole rings that had helped secure the flag, leaving it clumsily draped over the shrubbery below the pole. I am fixing that problem by ordering two new rings–which means I’m throwing still more money at Amazon.

  12. CW: Ass eating, insincere patriotism

    Yesterday on ErosBlog I asked: "What could be more patriotic and celebratory-apple-pie-and-baseball wholesome than eating a leather-clad domme’s ass while she stands in front of a huge improperly-displayed American flag?"

  13. Republicans:

    Welcome to THAT REALLY AWKWARD MOMENT when you can’t identify the same American flag your party is thoroughly disgusted to see Black Americans kneel in front of during the national anthem — a.k.a. exercising their First Amendment peaceful protest rights.

  14. Republicans vehemently object to Black people taking a knee during the nat’l anthem in front of the American flag which, clearly, Republicans can’t even identify.

    Conservatives have been trying to dress up racism and bigotry and pass them off as patriotism for centuries. It’s nothing new; it’s nothing subtle. The craven charlatans also regularly call upon the Bible to justify their hateful attitudes and actions. They fool no one.
