Some people are so fragile. Fox News of course is saying feds have banned non US flags, of course lying to their viewers about what is actually happening.

    imagine this guy will weasel in some kind exception for the Confederate flag and the swastika flag. Republican has become just another word for traitor.

    These are the same people desecrating the American flag, with the theme of factionalism, like that stupid thin blue line. So much for e pluribus union.

      any flag that represents the State, territory, county, city, or local jurisdiction in which the public building is located.

      Sounds like it!

    “With certain exceptions” = A blanket ban, except for anything that isn’t the thing I’m trying to single out.

      That’s the only reason they do it. Continue the culture war over here so you don’t see me doing nothing over here.

    First Amendment coming in on a strafing run in 3…2…1…

    I suppose this would also mean removing any religious banners from government-owned buildings and spaces being rented by religious groups.

      of course that will be their exception. crosses, bible verses, depictions of jesus, are all okay lest it be an attack on christianity 🙄

        “Religion is exempt!”

        “That’s great, let me just display this copy of the Qur’an over here”

        “Not that one, just our religion!”

      I’ve always felt like an asshole for having this thought, but they look a lot like isis flags
