    It takes a really miserable person to hate a rainbow, much less one that represents people just being themselves.

    Some stray thoughts:

    1. I thought Mrs. Alito liked flags? Apparently she only likes certain ones. Right now we know she favors flags that are symbols of the Jan 6 insurrection, and an anti-LGBTQ design of her own creation “which would be white with yellow and orange flames and read, in Italian, “shame.””

    2. Regardless of which ones she likes and doesn’t like, Mrs. Alito has some STRONG opinions on flags. Like, to an unhealthy extent. Seek therapy.

    “Look at me, look at me,” Ms. Alito said. “I’m German, from Germany. My heritage is German. You come after me, I’m going to give it back to you.” She did not elaborate.”

    1. The Nazi comparisons write themselves. Surely at some point you have to realize you’re on the wrong side of history when you call for German-style solutions to political problems.

        I know a couple like that and they are all the most insufferable jack asses you’ve ever met in your life

        They’re like vegans or cross fitters for a country they haven’t lived in since they were 9

        Everything I can find online says Martha Ann Alito (neé Bomgardner) was born at Ft Knox in Kentucky. Where did you see she was born in Germany?
