    Upside down flag means our country is in distress !
  • Im more upset about the Palestinian flag flying on the House floor by our elected officials.
  • An upside down American flag isn’t solely something from January 6th… it is what you are supposed to do to signal that you’re in distress.
  • @RodneySlinger
    Why is this flag issue only just now being talked about?
  • His wife has her opinions, and she is not the property of her husband. She has the freedom to make statements, even if they offend you.

    The First Amendment is for EVERYONE, including Supreme Court Justices.
  • @Lazybones52
    This is appropriate I believe for a supreme court judge who is supposed to uphold the constitution
  • It's America he can fly what he wants. People are flying Palestinian along with other flags from other countries, and I don't hear nearly enough complaining about that.
  • Im appalled that Minnesota changed Our State Flag to a lookalike of Somalia But lets focus on A NATION IN DISTRESS Flag, which many Know Our Country is In Disrress Appeasement of MN clustered communities is ok? How does Minnesota citizens feel about the 8 pointed star on their new Omar Flag?

    They're not controversial. You're trying to make them controversial
  • Get out of the shallow water. This is why your program is not relevant.
  • Nothing inappropriate to see and hear about……reporters definition is so left it shows their ignorance
  • @Tallacus
    I like that a supreme Court judge is actually humble enough to know he's not the supreme power. That there's a higher court he looks too.

    I have a very liberal acquaintance who had an upside down flag on her Prius. 😂 This was before the insurrection, and I assumed it was a commentary on the unstable political climate and, I’m sure, the Trump presidency. Until this story broke, I didn’t even realize that it was associated with Trumpists.

    Significance schmignificance. I'm still amazed at how many people apparently pledge allegiance to Pooh.
