Fucking goddamned Trumpstains desecrating my flag
Sort of like the bear in the Toblerone mountain and the 31 in Baskin Robbins. Although I guess if you missed the 31 in BR you just aren't even trying. :)
It shouldnt annoy me as much as it does. I was and still am one of those people who loves an american flag themed anything, and i love flying the flag at my house. Meanwhile my wife is constantly mortified by it because she thinks it makes us look like MAGA republicans. It is such fucking bullshit that MAGA co-opted the american flag. Folks who are not MAGA trumpers should not take this laying down, and take back the sympbol of the american flag as a symbol for ALL americans, not just populist white nationals.
Agree w you there and I’ve never been a flag person
The solution might be to fly the American flag while presenting something that makes it clear you are not a MAGA-moron, like also flying a rainbow flag or having a yard sign or something.
As I have three passports, I've considered really fucking with people's heads and flying a Canadian, British and American flag in front of the house.
Biden-Harris yard sign would be a good choice. ;)
Yep, don't fall for that shit...and tell your wife to quit worrying about what people think.
Not flying the stars and stripes because you are concerned about the image it sends? That's a problem.
It just perpetuates this culture war bullshit which is only as real as we allow.

Just fly an American flag if you want to. If anyone thinks you must be a MAGA, who cares, they are overreacting and annoying people.
Well said CG.
Funny as hell and so true.
My buddy has a quasi business making magnetic things for cars (similar to rig strip, et al, but they were definitely first). He was playing around with dye sublimation and made an American flag version and gave it to me to pimp. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling sheepish about rocking it for the exact reason CG mentioned. Eventually said fuck it about a month ago and put it on the car again.
There's a local guy that has a big lifted pickup truck with a large American flag posted up on one corner of the bed, and a large rainbow flag on the other. A smattering of left leaning bumper stickers in case there's any remaining confusion. Pretty awesome, especially since this area is thick with lifted trucks flying trump flags.
And if you see a flag that is in tatters or otherwise flown with bad ettiquite, call the Legion or VFW.
Those dudes will usually come around and replace the flag.

The American flag is for ALL Americans. It's a pity that a certain segment of the American population has been brainwashed into thinking they should be afraid or ashamed of being associated with the American flag. It's not the "MAGA" supporters doing this to them.
The last several posts sound like a bunch of MAGAtard boomers ranting and seeking validation. Who cares what anyone thinks about the flags you fly?

I thought this was the "Shit that annoys you" thread? :confused:
No, just the people that are worried someone will think that they’re conservative/MAGA/white nationalist. Who cares? Fly it or don’t it doesn’t matter.
The funny thing is that most of the jingoistic people AND the liberal types that fly the flag and worry about these things have never made any kind of sacrifice or performed any sort of national service.

Seems like we're approaching some sort of "annoying" event horizon.
Someone's annoyed by something, someone else is annoyed they're annoyed, 1st person gets annoyed that someone is annoyed with them being annoyed...

You know what’s annoying? Someone telling me I can’t be annoyed! I’ll be fucking annoyed if I want!

Agreed Unicorn. And veterans like yourself is one reason I'll always have that opinion.
Same people don't put a moment of thought into what Memorial Day honors.

and yet...
Plugged up left ear is really annoying... figured it would go away, but two weeks later I'm making a dr appt to have it checked out. :mad:
Drugging my dog up to take him to the vet is annoying. But a 90lb anxious dog can be troublesome. Hopefully we can get a nail trim accomplished.
Vanguard annoys me.
I love Vanguard's low fees, but damn, you pay for it in a really shitty website and zero customer support.
I am trying to update my auto-investing for my Roth IRA. I would like to auto-invest money into a new fund (currently have an auto-invest to a different fund that I want to leave in place). A lot of places have a minimum initial fund investment that is waived if you set up auto invest, but it doesn't seem like Vanguard does? Ok, fine, whatever, I will just buy the initial investment and then set up auto-invest. But even though I have a savings account with them which has more than enough money, it seems like transferring from that is not possible. So I have to either transfer the initial spend from a different bank OR somehow get money into the settlement account for the Roth IRA, but not sure how I can get it from the savings account over to there.
And there is zero way to even email a question, you MUST call (which I HATE), and oh yeah, when you call, 20 minute wait time. I hung up.
