SCOTUS

When this flag story broke, I had no idea that an upside down flag had anything to do with January 6. The traditional meaning is a sign of distress. Well it turns out that a careful Google search of the dates in question shows that it was NOT a symbol of the insurrection.

It looks like you have all been had.

Not so fast Alito apologist!

Alito seems to fly a lot of his freak flags. His 'Appeal to Heaven' flag at his beach house was suspiciously removed this week!

Yeah, I don't buy it. Is it an official symbol even today? What qualifies? Regardless, God fearing America loving patriots who happen to support Trump were flying the flag upside down, sometimes even before the Stop the Steal movement, but also at the January 6 protest. I happen to pay attention to such things and it gets under my skin.

Lol.

Alito critics right now:

Ha before you run your victory lap, you sure want to declare the Alito flag story dead? There's gotta be another flag out there somewhere, and journalists smell blood.

Completely normal.flag am I right.

The Times loaded up its false claims with links, giving the impression that it had gobs of proof, but when you click on those links, they have nothing to do with the Times’s assertions.

When did TedBot start working for the NY Times?

Ron Swanson is a J6 sympathizer!

Mike Johnson has had an appeal to heaven flag outside his office for ages. Nobody made too big of a deal about it until today when the dog whistle went off.

Seems like every idiot in politics is obsessed with flags these days.

Lol.

Alito critics right now:

Mike Johnson having that flag doesn't lend any sort of credibility to that stuff. And Johnson's a partisan politician not a supreme justice. That's an important distinction. I am sort of surprised that you find the situation as one that is laughable.

This isn't normal shit.

Hat tip to any federal judge: Just fly the American flag on your properties. Not weird MAGA and MAGA-adjacent stuff. And don't fly it in the SOS position.

[All-American]

I can just see this story slowly bending toward Basil Marceaux, the Tennessee gubernatorial candidate who among other things refuses to acknowledge an American flag that has the gold fringe.

If you truly believe that just because a couple of idiots happened to have that flag on January 6 that anyone who flies it thereafter is a sympathizer and therefore the flag is forever tainted and off limits, you’ve lost your mind.

I have Gadsden and Gonzales flags, and fly them now and then... just to piss off my snowflake neighbors. Actually most Texans fly the Gonzales flag. Come and take it, you transgendered B*tches!

You’ve lost your mind.

It’s insane to believe that the house of Alito would fly an upside down flag in response to a profane lawn sign and that Sam would have nothing to do with that.

Most charitable explanation for the flag is that the Alitos were trolling a neighbor with STS nonsense.

Most extreme explanation is the Alitos were full blown STS sympathizers.

Either way he’s not demonstrating a temperament that should be ruling on STS motions before SCOTUS.
