Why? He clearly lied about the kids waiting at the bus stop in front of the offending sign.

And what was the beach house flag in response to? It’s so empty.

“The Times somehow fails to let readers know that the flag is a longtime symbol of independence; that it was designed by George Washington’s secretary; was flown on ships commissioned by Washington; has been honored, commemorated and flown over state capitols; and is the official maritime flag of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is currently displayed outside the office of the speaker of the House. Dozens of historic flags were toted to the Capitol on Jan. 6, as were copies of the Constitution and pictures of the American eagle. Are they all now symbols of “insurrection”?” - wsj

Omg. Stop. The Gadsden flag used to mean something else too.

And people still fly the Gadsden no matter what the hysterical posters out of DC think.

Yes as an anti-government flag. You’re either naive as hell or dishonest. Your gaslighting won’t work here.

Good grief.
The most anti-government people out there are the crazy anti-Israel posters who proudly wave the Palestinian flag while shouting hateful things about the US.
They are not flying Gadsden flags.
Do a little research and find out about the history of the Gadsden flag.

I don’t support this either but it has nothing to do with the other. Radicals are the problem - on both sides.

Mrs. Alito may legally do as she wishes. Suck it.

Like Caesar's wife, the behavior of spouses of high government officials should be above reproach. Below is a simple explanation of what this means and should not overload your two functioning brain cells.

'What does judges like Caesar's wife should be above suspicion mean?

To put it briefly, the phrase means that those holding important public positions should avoid even the appearance of wrongdoing. Their behaviour must always be “above suspicion”, since any misconduct, or rumours of misconduct, by them besmirches the
high office they hold.Dec 18, 2022"

Except don't we now know that Alito's story about his wife flying the "distress" flag for a few days in response to a rude neighbor was all made up?

The "pine tree" flag - a symbol of the Christian nationalist movement - flew over his beach house for WEEKS. It's even on the Google Maps picture. And he has 3 flagpoles outside his house, where the "Appeal to Heaven" flag occupied the tallest one. A Supreme Court Justice chose to fly it instead of the actual flag of the country he serves.

Which is more disrespectful to our flag - flying it upside down or not flying it all?

+1 The whole wife story is BS. That was obvious when he said kids waiting for the school buses, the ones which were not running in January 2021, could see their neighbors’ sign that insulted Trump.

There are multiple flags involved at multiple locations. You are right about BS. There is no 'stop the steal' flag, just made up by NYT and liberals ran with it, like the OK sign.

You are disputing that Dutch Sheets has been promoting the flag as a symbol of Christian nationalism, sending it to politicians especially after the 2015 decision to allow gay marriage to corral support for his form of theocracy? You are disputing that J6 rioters carried it on January 6? Please provide your evidence these things are false.

DP. The American flag, when flown upside down as Alito did, is associated with "stop the steal."

Here's what Fox News said: "The upside-down American flag is symbolic of Trump's "Stop the Steal" campaign as he circulated false claims the election was stolen when he lost to Joe Biden in 2020."
https://www.fox13news.com/news/upside-down-flag-justice-alito-home-trump-rally

All the major news outlets are identifying the US flag flown upside down as the "stop the steal flag," not just the NYT. The NYT broke the story about Alito and the flags. Alito did not deny the story. Maybe you should stop getting your news from X or TikTok or whatever other low-information sources you use.

The fact that some bad actors misuse a flag doesn’t mean that flag’s use is forever out of bounds. Jan 6 flew the US flag too. And violent antifa rallies use various flags and we don’t declare them forever tainted.

I wonder if he physically beats his wife since he’s willing to throw her under the bus like this.

It’s a nice Schrödinger’s flag for traitors though. No one flew such a flag - either flag - at their house but if they did it wasn’t what you think it was and if it was it was his wife who flew it.

Correct. There is no specific stop the steal flag. But when flown upside down, the American flag can stand for 1) distress or 2) stop the steal, depending on the context. If you think "his wife" hung it upside down, was she signaling 1) or 2)? If 1), what was the distress? GOP Senators Thune and Graham said it was a "bad decision" and a "mistake" to fly the upside-down flag, so I'm guessing they thought it stood for 2).

We know Alito is not going anywhere. The SC tilts extreme right court and it will continue to do so for many decades.

Ok. What was the distress signal for then? Because by the time he had it up, the traitor and man who threatened democracy was about to leave office. I mean, had he flown it when Trump was selling journalists to dictators, I could see his point but he didn’t.

Do you not understand that by both sides-ing two entirely different things you are minimizing the damage that right wing extremists are doing, right now, on a national level? Show me the liberal judge whose spouse helped plan and finance an insurrection. Show me the liberal lawmakers who are removing one group’s right to bodily autonomy. Show me the liberal justice who openly sides with those who would overthrow the government. Show me where Biden has encouraged people to commit violence in the name of the Democratic Party.

There is no equivalent. Tell you what, we can “both sides” when the “extremism” of the left remotely approaches that of the right. Until then, “both sides” is doing the GOP’s work for them.

Threads are hard to follow here, I get it. You’re arguing with someone who agrees with you. I was responding to a pp accusing me of hypocrisy, not equating the kinds of extremism we’re seeing. They are not comparable. And I still tolerate neither. I think I’ve made that clear.

[Anonymous]

The time to use an upside down flag to communicate distress or emergency was about a dozen times during the Trump presidency, not when he was on his way out.

When he held a bible and ordered protesters be gassed? Appropriate to hang the distress flag.

We could have a whole thread with examples like this. But a SCJ supporting the traitor? Insanity. He’s unworthy of the position.

They are law abiding Americans.
Hate it all you want. Lol.

They’re not abiding this law, though:
28 USC 455: Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

Mrs. Alito may legally do as she wishes. Suck it.

Like Caesar's wife, the behavior of spouses of high government officials should be above reproach. Below is a simple explanation of what this means and should not overload your two functioning brain cells.

'What does judges like Caesar's wife should be above suspicion mean?

To put it briefly, the phrase means that those holding important public positions should avoid even the appearance of wrongdoing. Their behaviour must always be “above suspicion”, since any misconduct, or rumours of misconduct, by them besmirches the
high office they hold.Dec 18, 2022"

Except don't we now know that Alito's story about his wife flying the "distress" flag for a few days in response to a rude neighbor was all made up?

The "pine tree" flag - a symbol of the Christian nationalist movement - flew over his beach house for WEEKS. It's even on the Google Maps picture. And he has 3 flagpoles outside his house, where the "Appeal to Heaven" flag occupied the tallest one. A Supreme Court Justice chose to fly it instead of the actual flag of the country he serves.

Which is more disrespectful to our flag - flying it upside down or not flying it all?

+1 The whole wife story is BS. That was obvious when he said kids waiting for the school buses, the ones which were not running in January 2021, could see their neighbors’ sign that insulted Trump.

There are multiple flags involved at multiple locations. You are right about BS. There is no 'stop the steal' flag, just made up by NYT and liberals ran with it, like the OK sign.

DP. The American flag, when flown upside down as Alito did, is associated with "stop the steal."

Here's what Fox News said: "The upside-down American flag is symbolic of Trump's "Stop the Steal" campaign as he circulated false claims the election was stolen when he lost to Joe Biden in 2020."

All the major news outlets are identifying the US flag flown upside down as the "stop the steal flag," not just the NYT. The NYT broke the story about Alito and the flags. Alito did not deny the story. Maybe you should stop getting your news from X or TikTok or whatever other low-information sources you use.

DP. The upside down flag is a sign of distress and its use hasn’t been limited to Jan 6. No matter how many times you say this, there is no stop the steal flag, and Alito isn’t going anywhere because his wife did this.

I wonder if he physically beats his wife since he’s willing to throw her under the bus like this.

It’s a nice Schrödinger’s flag for traitors though. No one flew such a flag - either flag - at their house but if they did it wasn’t what you think it was and if it was it was his wife who flew it.

Sounds like you think he is master of the house and can tell his wife what to do. Glad my marriage isn’t like that!

Correct. There is no specific stop the steal flag. But when flown upside down, the American flag can stand for 1) distress or 2) stop the steal, depending on the context. If you think "his wife" hung it upside down, was she signaling 1) or 2)? If 1), what was the distress? GOP Senators Thune and Graham said it was a "bad decision" and a "mistake" to fly the upside-down flag, so I'm guessing they thought it stood for 2).

We know Alito is not going anywhere. The SC tilts extreme right court and it will continue to do so for many decades.

Only she can tell us. It’s irrelevant either way since she isn’t a public official and we aren’t entitled to her reasoning. The SC tilts right and after the next election, I think it will tilt more so. Buckle up!
