Miami Herald: I’m done trying to understand Trump supporters. Why don’t they try to understand me?

President Trump recorded a farewell address from the White House on Monday, CNN has learned, offering a list of accomplishments from his four years in office

 

List of accomplishments?  Must've been a very short address, unless he's counting stoking racial divisions, inciting riots, and listing all the laws he's broken and gotten away with.

Now that's unfair.  He scored really high on his cognitive test.  If he keeps it up we should consider letting him use a sippy cup and sit in a bug boy chair.

I never want to hear or read another ****ing thing from any GOPer about disrespecting the flag when kneeling happens during the National Anthem. 

I see some comments elsewhere that something looking like the flag and wearing an actual flag are two different things. I welcome opinions and still, it's ****ing ridiculous.

Anyone that went through Scouting should already know this. Clearly this another add to list of what Junior doesn't have a clue about since he wore that flag sports jacket costume.

8. Respect for flag

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

  1. The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
  2. The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
  3. The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
  4. The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
  5. The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
  6. The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
  7. The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
  8. The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
  9. The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
  10. No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
  11. The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning

The entire "greatest economy in the history of the country" narrative of pre-Covid Trump Presidency is a lie that must not be allowed to go unchallenged every time it is said.

 

But the stock market. . .

Apparently, Liz Cheney voting for impeachment was the last straw for some of these goofs. 

 

I think I'd oppose secession, but if we lost Wyoming it would be a step towards fixing the national deficit. I don't think that state has ever been a contributor.
