Nice way to kick far left crazies were it hurts.

[Texas Eagle]

Ha haaaaaas!!!

[SmokingJoe]

were = where

[lightman]

No longer Mogadishu on the Mississippi.

[FlingWingFlyer]

So much for the Sammie’s dream of Minniedishu! Dumb ass pirates.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The old flag had a pioneer and a native American. No smellolians.

Speaking of flags, did you know that the flag of Greenland doesn’t have any green in its design?

Just sayin’

[DannyTN]

the new flag can have a giant green Trump tower on it. And a nice green heated AstroTurf golf course.

“the new flag can have a giant green Trump tower on it. And a nice green heated AstroTurf golf course.”

Got my vote!

I watched his press conference while doing a few chores and was impressed with his command of the room (and the facts). This was the JD that Trump picked to sell his agenda.

I’m not 100% sold on his conservative bona fides, but he can own a room. Or a press conference.

surprised Minnesota is still using a state flag and not a Somali one

It is legal to fly old versions of the US flag, according to federal law, AS IF they were the current version.

Question: Does MN law have a provision regarding its state flag? I cannot imagine there's a law banning any such practice.

Otherwise all these flag makers would be OOB.

It would be great if people just ignored the new Commie/Somali/Moose Limb eight-pointed star and just continued flying the old one.

So you can fly the 48-star version of Old Glory, or the 49-star version. Or any version.

The Greenland flag has red and white colors.
The colors of Danish flag.

[MCSETots]

“The Greenland flag has red and white colors.
The colors of Danish flag.”

Yes, I know. That was a little tongue in cheek sarcasm.

However, you’d think that people of Greenland (all sixteen of them) might have considered the red white of Denmark a symbol of repression and a reminder they aren’t as free as they think they are.

Just sayin’

That’s great. A nuance like that will catch the attention of some people there, causing nostalgia for the old days.

When Walz, et al., changed the flag, IIRC they did it in secret with no input from the citizens, or even the citizens’ representatives. (IDK if I’m remembering correctly.)

[MayflowerMadam]

“surprised Minnesota is still using a state flag and not a Somali one”

It’s a hybrid, including Somali images.

[Sirius Lee]

On a related note, and without looking it up, because I'm just lazy, the flag looks like a representation of both the midnight sun and the nights without a sun.

It would be improved with a Trump lion in the corner.

Great move!
