Clay Jones for January 30, 2021

Run it up the flagpole and see how many start screaming about Qanon type whackdoodle.

What does flying the MAGA / Trump flag mean?

Prior to November 7, when all news media called the election for Biden, flying Trump flags meant they had a different opinion than me about who should win the election.

From November 7 to January 6, flying Trump flags meant they were sore losers grasping at straws to deny the reality that their candidate lost.

From January 6 onward, flying Trump flags means a person is a traitor to the United States who opposes law and order and seeks the violent overthrow of our democratic republic.

And especially if you rip down the American flag to hoist the flag of treason and/or if you fly the flag of KKKonfederates and/or Nazis — the flags defeated by REAL AMERICANS in the Civil War and World War II respectively, as many Trump treasonweasels do, you have repudiated your right to call yourself an American and spit on everything our great nation stands for.

How sad that the noble elephant wound up as the Republican symbol. And of course Abe Lincoln would be spinning in his grave to see what the Party believes now. Of course now the GOP is the Trump party. We live in interesting times.

The Republicans rotate flags like changing underwear but with even less thought. Mostly what they do is drop the American flag and pick up the flag of historical losers. Not a spine or a brain in more than 1 in 10 for the lot of ’em. Jellyfish should be their new spirit animal – no spine, no brain, only a nasty sting.

Some looney tunes want to believe it was Anti-Fascists carrying Trump Flags. . . . even McCarthy couldn’t believe Trump had suggested people might believe that lie. Time to bring them all to justice and put them behind bars. Starting with the Worst President Ever.

Magats.

MAGA flags will go down in history the same way Confederate, ISIS, and Nazi flags will.

Unfortunately it’s a true flag for too many.

Only three of our wars have truly been about securing/protecting freedom in America – the Revolutionary War, arguably the Civil War, and World War II. Now we are in the midst of another war, this one within. It is abundantly clear that there are those who would prefer a fascist-style government with a strongman head, and dedicated to the select interests of white people, corporations, and, it appears, fruitcake evangelicals.

This is serious, folks. Men have died in frightening numbers to secure and protect our democracy, only to have large numbers within their own nation seek to undo the benefits of their sacrifice.

”You’re the MAGA Flag”

You’re the MAGA flag,

(Forget that three-color rag!)

Long above Donald Trump may you wave.

.

You’re the trademark of

The Leader that we love

Who tweets all the bunkum we crave.

.

Every heart will soar

To crash each Capitol door,

Liberals’ heads on long pikes we’ll wag.

.

May fake election be forgot,

Keep your eyes on the MAGA flag!

Idolatry is the be-all and end-all of the benighted religious right.

The Anti American minority republican qanon party hates our democracy of the majority, they want to invalidate our election to install a right wing dictator.

Simple rule… See a MAGA flag, you KNOW a traitor to America is holding it. PERIOD!

If at first you don’t succeed, armed insurrection.

I’m guessing that a supermajority of Republicans are absolutely certain that Jan 6 was a false flag operation, since some nutcases have been claiming that. Is it clinical insanity when someone makes a conscious choice to fervently believe something they know is wrong, or is there a different name for that?

Unfortunately, Clay, you are right and there’s no lack of material to draw from.

I really wish someone could tell me exactly when it was that America was so great that we need to return to that era again, even if we have to kill other Americans to get there. I’ve asked several conservative acquaintances that question and not a single one can give me a definitive answer. All I want is a year or decade, possibly a century, that was so golden, so utopian, so wonderful for everyone, that mob-murder seems a justifiable means to that end.

Where’s the golden calf they forged at the same time. Wait. Never mind. He’s at Mar-A-Lardo plotting his revenge tour.

On a completely different note, that made me laugh out loud, two Ohio representatives are looking to declare June 14 as “President Donald J. Trump Day.” On Friday, Republican Reps. Jon Cross and Reggie Stoltzfus emailed their House colleagues asking for co-sponsors for their upcoming bill “to celebrate one of the greatest presidents in American history,” the Columbus Dispatch reports. An extra special maga mattress sale event too.

Anderson Cooper interviewed recovered QAnon supporter Jitarth Jadeja who apologized to AC for believing that he “ate babies” and drank their blood. He also said that some members of QAnon think AC is 4eally a robot. The interview is for the CNN special on QAnon that airs tonight.

Well done Mr Jones

The loser minority Republicans should move to some country with a dictatorship since they hate American democracy so much and love dictators.

The Republicans are the party of taking personal responsibility as long as they don’’t have to take any responsibility for their own actions.
