U.S. embassies defying Trump admin by flying ‘gay pride’ flag: ‘This is category one insurrection’
The National Sentinel ^ | 2019-06-10 | Jon Dougherty

The U.S. diplomatic corps, much of which hails from far-Left Ivy League institutions, has been the most defiant when it comes to obeying POTUS Donald Trump’s policies, as evident by the fact that several American embassies have hoisted the “gay pride” rainbow flag in defiance of the president.

After the Trump administration formally denied requests from multiple United States embassies to hoist the LGBT flag in honor of “Pride Month,” several of them, along with other diplomatic missions, are doing it anyway.

I was about to post the exact same thing you did. There was not a rule that embassies could not post that flag.

I think this story is another hit job on Trump (no matter the source)

I am generally not in favor of flag burning, but I would not hesitate to burn the rainbow flag, particularly after what the alphabet soup brigades have done to my Church.

Embassies are not under DOJ. They report to the State Department.

Very simple. Immediately terminate the top 5 state department employees at any embassy which did this. This is classic insubordination. It is the president’s prerogative to set the nation’s foreign policy.

Dont fire them - it allows them the process of suing. Instead, remove their clearance for “personal conduct”. No clearance, then no longer able to meet the requirements for the job.

They can still be a dishwasher or door knob polisher ....

Simply hold the person in charge of each facility responsible. End of insurrection.

FSO’s are commissioned officers just as those in the military and PHS. As such they serve at the discretion of the President and can be relieved at any time without any civil service protections. A simple statement of relief for cause or for no longer being required should do it.

You are correct.

The U.S. diplomatic corps, much of which hails from far-Left Ivy League institutions . . .

I scored in the top 2% in their exam once and was a witness up close and personal to how they screened out anyone who didn't hail from on of their favored institutions other than an extremely token small number.

Our domestic enemies are still displeased, what a surprise.

Marines. The Marines should be told to fix the flag situation while those that put them there are packing to leave.

If they flew the Gadsden flag it would be racist, Christian flag would be intolerable, Confederate flag would be racist, American flag would be offensive. Well you know what? I find the gay pride flag offensive, bigoted, hateful and divisive! Take it down!!

The State Department has been the leading subversive element in our government for decades.

It has needed a thorough cleanout and has yet to receive it.
