people need to start seriously protesting

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago

Yeah like every day... none of this "we will spend one hour during our lunch break on one Wednesday!" bullshit.

Their house reps, not just the president.

An actual use. Yeah send help!

Kudos to the person who is sending the correct message. Everyone who believes in protecting the US Constitution should fly the US flag upside down.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 13 hours ago

I think we need to do more than that. The flag is a distress signal. We have to help the people who are distressed

[–] [email protected] 342 points 18 hours ago (23 children)

That seems like a very bad sign. Someone wanted a message to get out to the public, but I'm not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it. Credit to the person with the balls to send out the warning, though.

I'm not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it.

History offers no control groups; there is no "right" way to proceed. What's certain is that "nothing" is not the answer.

Maybe we should double down on capitalism again.

It's the only move the US has used in living memory.

I mean the US is certainly in distress

[–] [email protected] 155 points 19 hours ago (5 children)

Definitely. Do we know if the people who wanted a criminal moron in charge are still cheering him on, or are they starting to catch on to the fact that his plan always was to thoroughly fuck everyone over? Well, everyone but his clique.

[–] [email protected] 125 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

They're still cheering. No other awareness to be had

As long as the right people get hurt they're happy.

Republicans would shit their own pants just to make us smell it.

They're gonna be a lot less happy when they try putting armed citizens in camps and they get fucking shot.

Is that the State Department flag or is it a flag near the State Department?

[–] [email protected] 141 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine being the person running this up the pole at the fucking state department.

[–] [email protected] 97 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

The gravity well produced from the balls of this person (all genders included) is pulling me from miles away.

The State is in distress. Who will answer the call? Who will come it's aid? We have all been summoned.

Is this real? Nobody is reporting on it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

This does appear to be the state department flag pole (on 21st street looking East from the state department). And it does appear to be winter, and there is construction in that area around the fed building. But that's all I can say. The photo is weirdly blurry and grainy so be suspicious.

[–] [email protected] 103 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Which of the conservative media in the US do you expect to report it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

but all the mainstream media is run by libruls.
