US Midterm Election watch along thread

I’d think any cred he got for GUNS GUNS GUNS would be erased by repeatedly pointing out “made in Germany.” Good ol’ Merikun guns not good enough for you?

Their credibility certainly took a dive but, IMHO, it still averages above zero. How far above – or not —depends on the author.

Holy shit! How is that anything but a video of a psychopath who happens to be running for Senate? And it was a campaign ad? Fuck me.

Take a look at the guy running for AG. https://www.abeforag.com/

Sadly, he’s still in the running and will probably end up in recount territory.

I know this is who I’d want for my attorney general. Right. /s

Forget the glock, check out the backwards flag. Made me grind my teeth every time I saw one of his ads.

I would want him on my attorney general’s watch list.

Right now he’s a little over 2200 votes behind. About 2k votes still coming from the loony-toon counties, 6k from blue counties (what is taking Apache county so long?) and 5k from Maricopa (which will probably break red).

What’s up with that flag anyway? Is that a code of some kind?

:grinning:

1100 votes. Thank you, Cochise County.

Yeah, I tried googling ‘backwards flag’ and the cites say nothing interesting

I found this: The Meaning of a Backwards Flag | Tactical Distributors

The only time you should see a backward or reverse flag is on the uniform of a military professional as an arm patch worn on their sleeve.

So not necessarily but in this case yes? :thinking:

That’s kinda what ticks me off every time I see it. If someone is going to pretend to be a patriot, at least get the fucking signals right.

I always grind my teeth when I see the flag displayed incorrectly. It’s not that hard to get right fer crying out loud.

If you look closely at the image, the flag is strangely blurry, especially in the Star field. It looks like to me that he’s slapped it on the Velcro holder on his uniform wrong way out. I doubt it means anything specific.

And that is even worse! He’s the one who approved that picture, I want an AG who pays attention to details.

I think you are right. No signal, other than “I’m stupid.” < cue Bill Engval >

Obviously he did it looking in a mirror.

Basically, the flag patch in that configuration should go on the right sleeve (or the right side of a vehicle) so that the union (star canton) is on the leading edge as you move. Or in static display mode, in portrait orientation so that the union is to its own upper right (viewer’s upper left). So yeah, he’s in tacticool get-up, out of uniform, and got it wrong.

He brought his own sign.

Oh God-- me, too! I learned all that stuff when I was a Girl Scout.
