Yeah.... I'm gonna guess that 99.9% of those who don't have a problem with the Trump flag would be losing their minds over a Biden/BLM flag.

Kinda like those "pro prayer" people from Kountze who wouldn't be so gung-ho about religious freedom if it involved everybody kneeling towards mecca before the games. 

Personally, I don’t have a problem with a Trump flag, per se’. Probably shouldn’t be flying from a city-owned fire truck though. But what about the fire trucks toting Santa around while he chunks candy to the kids during the holidays celebrating a Christian holiday? I kinda like it. I wouldn’t want that same truck toting around islamist extremists chunking ied’s at passers by during Ramadan though...lol. To each his own...

The problem isn’t the flag, it’s the fact that a publicly funded enterprise was flying it in a partisan manner. 
Nobody would care if that fireman had joined the parade in his own vehicle with the same flag. 
 

It reminds me of the time one of our coworkers was running his company truck through the bikini car wash at the nipple ranch when the news crews showed up. 
 

Sometimes you just need to keep your bidness to yourself.

I would think, due to the political atmosphere, most would know this wasn’t a great idea.   Now rules are in place.  No harm no foul.  

Saw a sticker on the back of a pickup yesterday.  Something like, I love the old USA.   Sure do miss it.   Between PC & Hate, one has to be so careful what we say or do now.   I miss it too.

It’s not all bad... I’ve stopped saying things that I shouldn’t have been saying in the first place. An honestly, there have been some good points made along the way by the lefties. They’re few and far between, but they exist.

Sure, a few valid points.   Problem for us older folks, habits of 60 to 70 years are not easy to break.   A young lady waiting on me,  I might say, Thank you babe”, in a totally innocent, polite, context.  Today, I could be accused of being a sexist or some “fill in the blank” phobe.   S-cks enough being old.

Yeah... my poor old grandpaw was at a rehab unit recovering from shoulder surgery about ten years ago and the nurse (who was black) was moving him around and it hurt him. Now, I don’t know what he meant, but I know what he said... “Owwwww!!!! I ought to whip you!” 
It was horrible. Dude was born in 1925. He’d seen it all and that was no where near the most offensive thing that I eve me heard him say. So yes, we are making progress.

Meeting was held last night. Everything is cool.

From this point on no fire truck or city vehicle will be in any political parades except for traffic control.

The fireman did resign but was asked to come back and accepted.

I dont think the man should have lost his job honestly. It could have been a time to educate.

No flag should be on that truck. Democrats or Republicans!

Yep, no doubt he’d said the same thing if J.J. Watt had been turning him over. 😄

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
