The right as usual is making a big thing about Mexican flags being flown in LA during the protest of Trump's actions putting the national guard and marines on the streets because of his immigration policy, not because of the undocumented. Let's discuss flags, do you fly one, two maybe even three, if so what are the flags you fly?

I have a cousin who is an avid trump supporter and in September we have our yearly cousins reunion. This year it's on Hilton head island and one of the first things he does is to put up the Italian flag at the highest point on this beachfront home where it can be clearly seen by anyone on the beach. When Joe colombo was attacking the FBI at his Italian day rally, all you saw were Italian flags, not American flags. Where were the national guard then and the Marines?

Does flying a non american flag offend you or is it the color of the skin of the person flying the flag that offends you?

Trump putting national guard and active Marines on the streets to try to stop people from protesting is sick. Do you trump supporters need more lessons from him to tell you he will do the same thing to you at some point? This man wants to be a dictator, nobody is safe.

To MAGA and far right nationalists. Mexican flags are bad. But confederate, Nazi and those dumbass ‘don’t tread on me’ flags are cool.

I am British and Swedish. I only fly a Swedish flag here;imo to fly the Union Jack would be impolite. I do have an English (red cross on white background) on the car though.
 
I do holiday flags. A pre-woke Pride flag for June, an American flag for July, and a pirate flag for October.

Sad. You flew a pride flag until your party decided to make woke an issue. It sure seems to me you were woke without knowing it. Another stupid term the right used to agitate their own base.

Burning looting and pilaging is not protest. Waving the flag of the country that you fled while burning the flag of the country you fled to is not protest. Bondi says those caught looting will be charged federally under Hobbs Act.

I'm all for it, lock up the lawbreakers but realize the vast majority of the people protesting aren't breaking any laws. Trump putting marines on the streets of america to protect us against ourselves is insane.

yep, people were just out watching the fires to paraphrase a Democrat media reporter. The NG came after the fires and attacks on ICE officers doing their jobs.

Even if you totally accept Pelosi's narrative and that it was not a fedsurrection; it was a 4-6 hour one off event. No fires, no looting, MAGA didn't break up curbing to use as projectiles.
These riots have become routine tactic of Democrat brownshirts. Do you bring a gas mask and body shields and masks when you protest? Is USAID funding this? Appears to be well funded and organized. Paid protestors? Will you be participating in this years summer of love?

Flags are an indication of loyalty.
what kind of turd would come here and take advantage all the goodness of America from Mexico and not flying American flag?

If they love Mexico so much and want to burn America flag why the heck aren't they still in Mexico?

The Founding Fathers say otherwise, judging by all the tea they threw in the harbor.

The US was the one who played a major role in destabilizing Mexico in the first place.

“Goodness of America”? America has been “good” to Mexico very rarely, in case you hadn’t noticed.

Because the US destabilized the country so badly they didn’t really have a choice.

I likened Gavin Newsome to Jefferson Davis the other day, a better comparison. Is California, like the founders and the confederacy engaged in an insurrection? Should that be Trump's response rather than protecting federal officers and property while quelling the burning, looting and pillaging and general riot conditions? Are Democrats capable of protest without this escalation? How many times has LA been set a blaze? Should the Olympic committee consider moving the 2028 Olympics to somewhere safer? Miami?

Gavin Newsome has led a revolt that killed hundreds of thousands of people to save slavery? When did that happen?

The founding fathers sure didn’t have an issue with property damage during protests, as it turns out.

Trump sure seems to be doing his best to convince the Olympics not to come anywhere near the U.S.

Well they will not leave, so ask them.
