PHILADELPHIA — The six flag poles on top of the Philadelphia City Hall are bare Thursday morning. One city official who asked not to be named told The Daily Caller that the U.S flags typically atop the City Hall flagpoles have been moved to the Democratic National Convention stage.

Who paid to dismantle them?
Who paid to move them?
Who paid for the temporary(?) installation?
Who pays for the rental to use them on the Dems stage?
Who pays to remove them, ship them back, and reinstall them at city hall?

Probably unionized city workers on city time.

It must be that only Democrats pay the worker’s salaries and expenses in Philadelphia, so it’s definitely all above board.

So they stole flags from a government building.
Because the DNC had none of its own.
To improve their political optics.

I see...

So there were no flags planned at the convention. Simply unbelievable.

Collegeville, Pa Makes flags. Dems didn’t even want to spread the wealth to working people within 40 miles of that shithole.

And that gave a lot of unionized city workers a lot of overtime.

my question is this. is the taking of those flags theft and if they theft is it a felony with jail time. I bet that there is no paperwork that was filled out and no one within government can be found that gave them permission.

And of course, being Democrats, they did not buy their own for the convention, when they could use ones that were paid for by the taxpayers.

I thought the same thing at first. However, after consideration: What would have happened to the flags at the end of this marxist gathering? They would most likely be thrown in the garbage. Or worse. At least this way the flags will more likely than not go back to City Hall and be used for what the taxpayer's money was spent.

They didn’t have any American flags because they burned them all.

The flags will probably end up in the trash after Hillary speaks tonight. Someone should watch to see what they do with the flags after the convention. They should also see if city employees do it on the clock. Would make a great storyline.

There is a dirty little secret that people are slightly more likely to vote GOP if they see an American flag before entering the voting booth.

As our precinct election judge, I buy big bottles of that hand sanitizer and put them at either end of our check-in table with an American flag decal.

... you're probably right, as no Demonicrap would know how to fold one up and pack it. They'll likely be dragged across the convention center floor, filthy from days of Demonicrap revelry, thrown into a rank dumpster, and covered over with mounds of Demonicrap cr@p.

Philly cops hate the ‘rats. They could have DNC personnel arrested for stealing the flags.

Today’s lefties hate today’s noncommunist Russia.

They should wave a plain hammer & sickle so they can claim, “true socialism hasn’t been tried yet! USSR was an aberration!”

As for burning the Israeli flag, Obama would be right in the middle of that.

They had them last night, two rows on either side of the stage. They were low enough that no one on the podium could see them and be offended, or spontaneously combust.

They were obviously an afterthought, added after criticism from day 1.
