It’s his only shot.
Would you fly a flag in a BLM rally? I will get my camera ready when you do.

You have ZEROOOOOOO moral authority on this issue of fearmongering. ZEROOOOOOO.
Who died and made you in the moral authority on fear mongering. Hey, I didn’t get that memo. Wait, I’ll check my spam folder.

Trump is extending friendly overtures to Putin while Putin has a bounty on U.S. soldiers. Trump claims he was never briefed, which means he is lying or the intelligence agencies don't trust the President with intelligence. In any case, he has known since last week, and still no response.

While our nation is in the midst of a poorly managed pandemic, Trump's administration has joined a lawsuit at the Supreme Court to eliminate ACA. If the Supreme Court rules in their favor, millions will lose their health insurance in the midst of a pandemic. Striking down ACA, will also mean eliminating protections for pre-existing conditions. Covid would be one of these conditions.

Economy is on a downward trend, federal deficit has doubled, tariff war with China, ...

Social unrest over cops openly murdering black citizens.

...

On July 4th, the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence. You know, the one that reads, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, ..."

We are in danger of losing the nation so many risked put their lives on the line for.

Not sure that's worth celebrating, but go ahead and wave whichever flag you wave.
You can say this seriously after over a month of riots, looting, arson and murder, all either ignored or approved by the Democrats. What's that like?

“Is it dangerous to put out a flag or show patriotism this Fourth of July?”

Yes. Really dangerous.

One of the most confused, unpatriotic statements - one could write a whole doctoral thesis or two (well, I couldn’t but someone much smarter could). Mind boggling.

We have a civil war of stupidity bubbling and I fear it’s going to get out of hand. And just who would benefit - will benefit - is benefitting from this getting worse?

The incurious are always the weakest link.

@TheDemocrats
Trump has disrespected Native communities time and again. He’s attempted to limit their voting rights and blocked critical pandemic relief. Now he’s holding a rally glorifying white supremacy at Mount Rushmore — a region once sacred to tribal communities.

I won’t allow anyone to scare me into their Marxist Ideology.
The American Flag continues to fly on my property.
So now the Democrats are saying that patriotism, love of our country is "white supremacy."

Their not even pretending anymore.

Bingo.

A bad guy is killed by a bad cop and the mob runs wild.

Meanwhile you have 10 or 15 or 20 black people killed in Chicago every week - usually black on black crime - and nobody says a word. Business as usual. It's a trade off: I'll keep your welfare checks coming, and you keep the democratic machine in power. Wink, wink.

Self-appointed. If you disagree, feel free to lodge a differing opinion rather than making lame boomer jokes.

I'm surprised you didn't take the opportunity to make a a "NOT" joke.

I fly my Naval Gadsden all the time. The 13 red and whit stripes with the stretched snake. To honor my Dads Naval service. 3 conflicts worth. WW2, Korea and Vietnam.

Naval vessels returning to port after combat deployment fly that flag astern. It can also be put up as a battle standard. Either way it's an honorific banner.

It's a favorite display of mine. The Gold cooled snake Gadsden is actually the original Colonial banner pre Betsy Ross.
