One of our MAGA neighbors took his U.S. flag down last Saturday (when we won the Presidency)...

Looks like we got Old Glory back on our side, then.

Woo hoo! I love the U.S.A. more than I have in my whole life. I say U.S.A., meaning our government, the land and our heritage—certainly not the 70 million goofballs who voted for Trump.

This neighbor is actually a very nice, thoughtful senior who was hoodwinked by his church and Fox to believe in that party of liars and sleazeballs.

I saw him today walking to get his mail, and he looked like he was recovering from a lead weight hitting him in the head. He waved back at me, but no smile.

I think I got 2 hours of sleep. Tossed all night.
It was like a Twilight Zone episode.

It felt like we lost all of our heritage that night.
And it came pretty damn close.
It took some heroes to bring this country through to the other end of the tunnel.
But we still have McConnell to contend with.
Still, I feel we are on the right path to get our heritage back.

I think the only other time I flew one was during Obama's presidency!

Never been much of a flag-waver.

I think we should start combining our Biden flags with the American flag so people can start connecting it with democracy and not hate.

It is disgusting that when I see an American flag I assume there is going to be a donny flag with it.

When I had a house in Philadelphia, I never would put up a flag.

I know that I'm American. I don't need to put up a flag to prove it.
