I saw a Twitter link about the moronic flag coloring, and an imbilicle Trump supporter (apologies for the renundancy) defended him by saying- paraphrase- “Maybe that kid there wanted him to use blue, you don’t know!”
White, Red, and Blue stripes… he knows what the flag to which he is loyal* looks like.
*defined as “afraid to defy”
The White House flag is at full staff this morning. No official order for half staff covering the nation.
A couple of hours ago the sulking Trump was forced to bring the flag back down to half-staff:

And Trump was also forced to actually mention McCain’s service to the nation, as opposed to his earlier stance of saying nothing about it:
ibid
The White House has now issued a proclamation (as is usual in the case of the death of a well-known political figure) that does mention the service.
Trump’s fans will be losing respect for their hero.
Too bad.
There’s no praise for the dead like praise offered late, cursorily and through gritted teeth.
From a jealous enemy, stewing in his bitterness? Sweeter music is not made.
Doubt it. They’ll conveniently forget the flag at full staff and the platitudinous tweet and point to the corrected actions as being the intent all along.
How dare the fake news media point out what was actually done rather than what they’d like to pretend he had done.
Another example of Holy Fucking Shit Can You Imagine If President Obama Did That?
Hannity would be red as a cherry and foaming at the mouth. Republicans would be screaming for Obama’s head. Fuck you, Trump and all the spineless “I Got Mine” Republicans.
Now he’s complaining that Google search results are biased toward liberal sources when one is searching for news. So he is purportedly going to look into regulating Google. This scares me to death, plus I thought pubbies hated regulations.
I’m on my phone so didn’t include a link but it’s easy to search it.
How many MAGAbots are falling for this?
Um… ALL of them??
How stupid can they be? If the MAGAbots can find one charitable example with Trump, then let them post it. Not even his foundation benefits anyone but himself.
MAGAts will fall for anything.

Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy - too many of his supporters would happily pick up their guns if they thought they had a green light from the White House.
That article states this: “On Monday, he touted the steps he’s taken to promote religious liberty, such as loosening restrictions on political speech from the pulpit, which previously could jeopardize religious institutions’ tax-exempt status”
Did he loosen restrictions on political speech from the pulpit?
According to Politifact he doesn’t have the power to unilaterally do that. It’s a law and Congress would have to repeal it.
They also say that, in any case, churches already routinely violate it with no repercussions.
I didn’t see if anyone has mentioned this but it’s possible that Trump’s blue stripe was about this flag. It’s the “thin blue line” flag which is also known as the “Police lives matter” flag. While the sentiment is fine by itself, it’s often used to show opposition to the “Black lives matter” movement.
Of course, this is Trump. The idea that he doesn’t know what an American flag looks like is as plausible as him sending out coded messages of support to right wing groups.
No, it’s not possible. Trump is just a moron.
Yes, if Trump completed his coloring exercise I would love to see the result.
This is what authoritarians do; they try to create a perceived state of emergency.
We saw that this was part of his playbook in 2016 when he was losing to Hillary Clinton, and he’s doing it again.
What we have now is a situation in which the power of the presidency, the most powerful political office on the planet, is being used to create a false state of emergency in the minds of millions of American voters. It ties in with other false narratives, such as his culture wars. He’s engendering fear, animus, and planting the seeds for something awful.
