> Huh? How is that a political jab? The thin X flags are political statements by design, and the whole point of the border patrol is to keep out people from Central and South America. It’s not exactly something they try to hide. I’m not accusing them of anything beyond what they are actively rallying behind. They literally made a new flag to state their point?? It’s not a jab to restate someone’s position, one they are proud enough to openly display.

**Moderator Warning**

Don’t dispute moderation outside ATMB. This is an official warning. “Racist ICE sycophant” is clearly a political jab. I am further instructing you not to post further in this thread.
