Democrats Protest Trump Military Ban-Replace POW/MIA flags with Transgender Pride Flags

Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to uphold the military’s transgender ban. As you guys read and discussed in earlier articles, the military needed time to review their participation. Then, based on that review, determine what criteria would be needed to allow this to happen… If it were to happen.
With the ban set to continue, the “fight” didn’t die. The National Center for Transgender Equality provided flags to both Democrats and Republicans. They wanted congressmen to display these transgender pride flags outside their offices. Some Democrats flew that flag in lieu of the POW/MIA flags, other flew them right next to the POW/MIA flags.
From Fox News:
The move reportedly came at the behest of the “National Center for Transgender Equality.” The group tweeted Tuesday that it had delivered the flags to every member of Congress — even Republicans — with the request that they be flown outside their offices.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., tweeted a photo of his office with the transgender flag displayed, writing: “Discrimination has no place in our society. I am proud to display this flag as a symbol of my support for transgender people across the country. We must stand with transgender people in all of our community.”
Also from Fox News:
Speaking from the floor in support of the resolution, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who had also placed a transgender pride flag outside her office, said: “There is no moral justification for this ban which violates every value of our American democracy.”
Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. Have those, who switched out the POW/MIA flag, switched them back in recognition of Vietnam War Veterans? The article mentions that multiple Democrats did this, so not all of them made that switch.

We discussed this a bit in the Vietnam Day thread Ex posted.
Since the POW-MIA flag is a symbol of the Vietnam War this is either guided by horrible ignorance or is an intentional middle finger to Vietnam vets since it’s timed with the Vietnam War Veterans Day. Neither is an appetizing prospect.
There’s really no segment of the American population the Democrats are worried about pissing off to virtue signal, is there?
I would have to go with the middle finger. The Dims have been energetically waving it at everyone except their favored Wacky Splinter Group of the Month for over a year now. Maybe it’s time some “concerned veterans” visited their offices nonstop for, say, a month or so to let them know we are NOT happy with them.
Stoopped sum beeches gotta be stoopped sum beeches.
Years ago Jeff Foxworthy had his “Here’s your sign” routine.
Now they have their signs, their flags, pink knit hats, ad nauseum.
Bill Engvall is the one with the “Here’s Your Sign” routine, he’s also part of the Blu Collar Comedy team along with Jeff Foxworthy. As for the freakazoids, I couldn’t care any less about them as long as they quarantine themselves away from me and mine. I couldn’t care less what they do in their own time, but when they shove it up in my face and tell me that I HAVE to openly accept it I say FUCK NO.
Trouble is they DON’T quarantine themselves away from you and yours. They write laws that affect you and yours each and every day.
Get it? Get active in your state or district. Vote the idiots and their buds OUT
GMAFB….What is the percentage of this Country’s population that is either a Veteran or supports the Veterans? Prolly fairly high.
What is the percentage of the population that is confused?
I have no problem with two (2) or more consenting adults doing whatever they want to with or to one another in the privacy of their own home.
I am starting to have a problem with it being forced on me and others in public!….There…I said it outloud.
And , Thank You for saying it out loud !! Needs to be said more often .
I agree. Do what you want. Do not expect my approval.
“Some Democrats flew that flag in lieu of the POW/MIA flags…”
That’s a new level of douchey.
Well the surprise from their movement wasn’t enough to move the needle from it’s current position. But the stench from the movement on the floor is reminiscent of the summers cleaning out the dairy barn on my Uncle’s Farm. Probably not as productive though.
Somebody(s) need an educational beat down… Just sayin’
Flag burning is protected speech.
We were forced to swallow hard about that.
Just sayin.
Yeah, but someone burned a rainbow flag and had a crowd of screeching flower monkeys howling for him to be prosecuted for a “Hate Crime”, showing just how full of shit liberals truly are.
….Because dudes who wear skirts are more important than the memory of those who are POW/MIA. (Democrat tagline)
If these guys want to display them NEXT to the POW/MIA flag, I’m good with that. Free speech and all. But in LIEU of? AW HELL NO! They can KMA right there. Service is a privilege not a right. Plenty are turned away for various medical, psychiatric, criminal issues.
Their own TG flag ? Haven’t seen it yet but I hear it is pink and the battalion is called “The Fightin’ 69th”..their motto ?
‘we got your behind’. No more garrison hats or “piss cutters”, they will be issued pink ones with a fallopian tube on one side and a wrinkled up crank on the other side.
watch that on the Fightin’ 69th now…that’s an old and honored unit. 5 wars, 23 campaigns. Don’t be pissin’ off the Micks here!
…..”Suckin’ 69th” ??????
Now hear this!!! The Looney Left dropped 50% of their voting public in the last state election here in New South Wales, Australia. They averaged 4% of the vote over all. They went in with 3 candidates in place and came out with one left in Government. The Sensible people have voted, and Pollies are starting to listen the silent majority. God Save The Queen, and the Normal Voters will save Australia!!
Does this mean you’ll get off the solar wagon any time soon, and go with fossil fuels for utility stations?
What part of you do not have a right to be in the military or even stay or reenlist-The Military is not a democracy or a federal job -also it is a privilege to serve. What does POW/MIA Flag and TG Flag have to do with each other?
