Another right-wing shill manufacturing outrage over the USWMT soccer victory.

Here's a tweet from fear merchant and frequent FAUX news guest Jonathan T. Gilliam being all snowflakey about the flag.




Funny how he's not outraged about unpatriotic narcissistic behavior from an asshole who pretends to be president.

the teammate to rapinoe's left was the one who let the flag drag on the ground and then dropped it entirely.

but the twitstorm is all about rapinoe, who was merely nearby.

it's clearly not about defending the flag, it's about using fake concern about the flag to attack a woman who is getting attention for saying things and standing for things the hate-wing doesn't approve of.

People have very strange observations about how they perceive the world around them. And then become so outraged by what their eyes see and what their ears hear.

very popular in D/FW. It's really SAD.

I once knew someone who moved here from Germany, he didn't understand the love affair with the US flag. I told him I didn't either. This was in the early 90's.

Covering someone's butt or crotch, being used as a doormat to wipe feet on, being dragged through the dirt and muck on someone's truck/car bumper, putting food on it and throwing it in the garbage or being used as a prop for a lying, fake patriot POS like Trump to dry hump... Maybe I'll take them a tiny bit seriously and not just mock them for being the deplorable hypocritical POS that they are.

"unpatriotic narcissistic behavior" They sure do love to ignore this crap when it's 'their guy's and project on the 'other' they don't support don't they? It's all part of their normal hypocritical BS though. RWers want 'their' constitutional rights but whine, attack and try to restrict those who exercise their own constitutional rights because it's different than/you don't approve of.

But my Twitter account would most likely get a suspension if I were to finish this sentence.
