Do people seriously believe that Jesus Christ would have wanted a flag flying to represent Christian beliefs?
Very much the same reaction that I had. I didn't even know that there was such a thing. The idea of a flag strikes me as strange . . . and somehow unChristian.
Better question is why Democrats choose to pick fights with Elon, from Elizabeth Warren falsely accusing him of not paying taxes, to Bernie Sanders saying he shouldn't go to space "because we have problems here," to Joe Biden snubbing him at EV summits to whatever the latest freakout is.
I know Democrats have to attack the billionaires but they chose to go after one who is popular and gets things done that people like. Total unforced error.
A leading Republican running for Minnesota governor has suggested that the state’s Democratic secretary of state should go to prison for his running of the state's election system, without providing any evidence that he's done anything illegal.
A former New York City police officer who claimed he was acting in self-defense when he swung a metal flagpole at a fellow officer during the attack on the Capitol last January was convicted on Monday of all charges, including assault. The former officer, Thomas Webster, was the first person charged in connection with the riot to defend himself at trial by claiming that the officers protecting the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, had used excessive force against the pro-Trump mob that stormed the building. The guilty verdict in the case — returned within two hours on the first full day of deliberations — could give pause to other defendants planning to use similar arguments at their own trials.

the Republican party has proven itself willing to overthrow democracy to claim political victory for their fat man leader.
Putting people in jail on trumped up charges is barely an afterthought for them. In 2024 they will be tossing out the wishes of voters left and right.

I'm not sure people understand what was going on after the 2020 election.
Republicans of all types - trumpist, normal, radical, easy going .... they were scheming to get the electoral college vote tossed out and throwing it to the house. Mass coordination.
There was pressure applied all over the government...states, feds, congress, white house...working together to do the coup.
They made up election fraud and were using that to overthrow democracy. in a totally constitutional manner.
They aren't done. Their next step will be to toss out electoral college results they don't like.

Meh. So maybe they are all a-holes. So what? I'm fine with a-holes. It's just a personality quirk.
Now Hunter Biden's laptop - now there's something to really give one pause!
You must have slept through Sunday School, Fats. When Yeshua (Jesus) was asked about taxes by the Pharisees, as was witnessed in the book of Matthew, Chapter 15.
“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
The deeper meaning here is that we are subject to both the laws of the land/Constitution and as believers in Christ.
So, we follow with the US Flag above the Christian flag as those are "the things that are Caesar's."
if anything can stop the onslaught of the GOP on democracy and law and order, it might be the overturning of Roe. And hey it looks like that's what's going to happen. Someone leaked a draft decision.
The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO. The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

What a crock of a made-up story. The Supreme Court doesn't just sit around and just rule on stuff that they decide to rule on. They make decisions on cases granted certiorari. These are cases from lower appeals courts. Laughable how Politco made up this story. A sign of how desperate they are.
This marks the end of the liberal era in American politics. Ironic that it is Trump who was not anti-abortion in his pre-political life is the one who brought it to its end.

well really it was Mitch who got it done, when he stole that SCOTUS seat.
Leaking a draft SCOTUS ruling is worse than January 6th. The Court was the one institution where conservatives and liberals lived in peace and trust. You disagreed but the trust was sacred. This completely destroys the Court’s inner workings. Totally in shock right now.
FWIW It doesn't matter if your right or left, the leaking of the decision is a crime and meant to influence the Justices from making an impartial decision with fear of retaliation.
