The offensive flag in the Republican congressman's office:
Looks like he's a potential terrorist because he's saying the USA flag represents Nazis. Better lock him up for "anti-American sentiment."
We can play these stupid fucking games, too.
No we cant. We dont have police on our side.
I still see people talking about how great things will be after 2028, when the Democrats are back. They have no idea.
If AOC wins the presidency and they primary all the incumbents, maybe. Maybe.
Can't win rigged elections.
I do have to say like that image is absolutely disgusting and knowing that that was even allowed on Capitol Hill turns my stomach as an American, absolutely vile and disgusting.
Looks like Republicans are just showing their true colors now, they don’t feel like they have to hide it anymore.
Desecration of the flag is now cool.
Of course, he will just say the pic was A1 generated and push a bill to ban steak sauces.
Are we in the Peacemaker timeline?
Jesus Christ. am I living in the Man in High Castle nightmare or is this real life.
Real life, unfortunately. It's almost as if the Republican party is attractive to Nazis, hence there being a ton of Nazis in their ranks.
Literally a plot line from Peacemaker season two, filmed a year ago.
Looks like it's purposefully arranged on the pinboard along with the other baubles, so if it was "foul play or vandalism", they'd have to have arranged the entire board.
For real. This looks like it was put up and has been there a while
I think the investigation is to whether the swastika was vandalism, not the entire flag.
Would have been a lot easier to print off a nazi flag and put that over something, or just somewhere on the pinboard than modifying an existing flag like that, as vandalism.
Printing in an office leaves a trace, two white bookmark-size sticky notes and red marker is pretty untraceable. And I imagine that red white and blue sticky notes are not hard to find at the Capitol. Look closer at the picture.
😉
Shocked, shocked!
Investigating who to recruit.
Yikes.
No one is surprised.
i am not one to defend the GOP, and am glad they are doing an investigation to make sure, but doesnt that look like a bad photoshop to anyonre else? like... the little white squares pasted in there?
No, it looks like someone modified one of those shitty little plastic flags you get on the 4th of July with some paper and a marker
