I didn't tag this fella b/c I just got him out of my mentions... ๐ He likes to make up unrelated positions then debate himself. The convo was about a dude being deported in the UK...
Sense he brought it up... I will discuss it very quickly.
I personally LOVE flags! Always have.
I regularly fly Ol' Glory with various companions. Original and current. The current flag is to be to the right (the flags right) or highest in middle. At night time, the flag is to be taken down or must be illuminated.
Although, it makes for kick *** foreground for fireworks videos. ๐๐บ๐ธ
I have a plethora of flags... With designs on acquiring many more.
Gadston, Culpepper, Gonzales and Ben Franklin Join, or die (unite or parish)...
My state flag, military support and I intend on getting each branches flag eventually. I wouldn't mind addional state flags, wouldn't object to all 50.
I have a Dominican Republic flag I picked up in Punta Cana. Thought of it a tad late, but every country I visit, I want to purchase their flag on their soil. I have a few to make up ๐ all in due time.
A very special small flag... Note the non offset in the stars... Rather than 5 rows of 6 with 4 rows of 5 between them we just have 6 rows identical of 8 to equal 48. This flag is for 1944, came with my great Uncles Purple Heart he earned on D-day.
My mom is into quilting... I have a couple quilts too... The "blanket" wounded warrior gives ya is a joke... My mom fixed that problem. ๐๐บ๐ธ
Note the Detroit cityscape in the flag quilt ๐ mother knows her son!
Oh, my Dominican flag... I don't anticipate ever acquiring a Haitian flag. #justSaying (๐ฉhole)
The one flag I never cared for, never had disired to own yet alone fly...
The confederate flag AKA rebel flag.
No interest what do ever.
I was born and raised I'm MI, had I been military aged in 1860 I'd be wearing Union Blue without question 1000%.
Remember the "North & South" mini series? Gotta be about 40 or north to have a chance. Anyhow, I was so disappointed Patrick Swayze's character ended up in the confederacy.
Now, that said, I also understand for many folks in the south, the flag has some different meanings. I have no issue with that, nor as a northerner do I fully understand it... I understand enough to know it's a thing. I don't begrudge those folks at all.
However, I do consider it inappropriate for any government building (besides historical soley confederate sites) to fly the flag of a, technically, long conquered aggressor to the Union. State capitals in particular.
Please, spar me the confederate flag ๐ฉ.

Addendum: why does our flag matter?๐บ๐ธ
What does Ol' Glory mean to me?๐บ๐ธ
As most of us expected, Brett Cavanaugh was confirmed as the 114th Supreme Court Justice.
After a particularly contentious confirmation process rife with rumor, innuendo and salacious accusations: largely described โpalace intrigueโ in the mass market media.
The notable decline in decorum with regard to judicial nominees within the united states senate has not gone unnoticed.
The correspondents were discussing whether there was a need to fundamentally change the senate or the Judicial confirmation process at least.
Of course my reflex reaction is: NO! Often reflex reactions can be wrong.
With little doubt do we have the same idea.
The talking heads would probably want to further bastardize the senate in some shape or form.
๐คฃ That's hilarious. So this clown chimes in with this snarky comment. The irony is, it is she that is the partisan hack that doesn't know what she's talking about.
I noted Holder to be first cabinet official held in contempt of congress (fact BTW)
I promptly respond, using partisan sources, her partisan sources... @nytimes and @politico to show her her error. I love when cocky idiots step to me, it's great!
Not one word in response... I mean, what do you say to that? Must have been a blow to the ego. Clearly blocking me is the answer ๐คฃ what a total LOSER!
A concern my father expressed with the Michigan election... and he has a point.
Given it's not exclusive, however, this proposal will bring every beatnik leftist wanna be kid to the poles in droves...
I'm not knocking it... I probably support this and had a living off the care giver laws. I am watching the small guy getting run over and people that sold major wieght for years become "legitimized" taking over much of the industry here.
For example most grow stores, especially ME owned, have massive illegal grows behind them, same with dispensaries. I've watched one major player criminal after the next step into these roles because they have the cash.
@JohnJamesMI rocking ya out until election day. ๐๐ฆ ๐ฝ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
For God & County!
However, I don't really wear ball caps anymore (good for that pic) ... Mainly the #MAGA stays on my armoire. ๐บ๐ธ But is on hand for special events. Procured from the Washington MI rally.
My favorite 2 flags are featured in each pic too! ๐บ๐ธ๐ฆ
First is my Mount Vernon flag, named because it was first flown on the flag pole of Washington's estate. Forget the day, the certificate is particularly in frame. This flag has been bannered in my home office ever since.
I was watching a 1977 episode of 'Soap' last night, this program could not be produced today. Not because Billy Crystal's gay character was concidering a sex change, attempted suicide, then opted against the sex change... No, this scene cought my attention... ๐
