The United States Flag code states- The flag should never be flown with the union down EXCEPT As a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger......Cornell School of Constitutional Law's Legal information institute, and the U.S. Military Flag Code. This would indicate acceptability in what would be considered dire circumstances, as I read this. This ^^^^ . . . and it would generally apply to such a magnitude as a wartime invasion of the U.S. or a Naval vessel in dire distress, not because an election is won or lost. Or the Constitution being rescinded and re-interpreted by traitors? Or is Dire distress classified only in the Military Flag Code as what you're stating here, I think not. How should a traitor be defined?

Remind me, when the flag officially was flown upside down? When was the Constitution being endangered as much as now? How about that question, maybe this is a first. AND, according to the U.S. Department of Defense website, "The flag should never be flown upside down and here's the kicker "UNLESS TRYING TO CONVEY A SIGN OF DISTRESS OR GREAT DANGER". SO, THIS CONDONES DOING THIS.

Personal threats? Come on man get a hold of yourself. That wasn’t a threat. Never took it as one. I was just stating what most rules was on other political forums.

I Never believed in the Debate Team
Basically Rinos in training! The Founding Father's fought, they didn't debate. Exactly! Our founding fathers fought for a free nation because of a tax on tea.

How do you warn the federal government they've overstepped their bounds and they're looking at recourse from the people without coming off as threatening or being labeled as a threat? They're deviants, they're cynical and they won't relinquish the extra-Constitutional power they've heaped upon themselves. Apparently you tell them THIS TIME I MEAN IT, and then you draw another line in the sand.

Finest work to come from the mind of man with the possible exception of most of Shakespeare. Both brilliant with no contemporary equal. These dolts in office today wouldn't be qualified to empty their predecessors bedpans.

They're deviants, they're cynical and they won't relinquish the extra-Constitutional power they've heaped upon themselves. Here's a start. If we could get millions of people to commit to not paying taxes, we could defund the government. They'd never be able to come after everyone.

I had not seen the American Flag flown upside down before , other than some old war movie. Now I have seen /read this thread. I have seen three in my travels, I don't go far from home or work.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Pretty sure the fed gov knows some people are sick of their tihs. Talking, arguing and paper work are not going to change this situation. Certainly flying yer flag upside down won’t change it either. it shows like mindedness in my area,for now it will fly up side down,when driving down the back roads and see a up side down flag flying i know i'm in like minded company. Will flying the flag up side down make the gov stop infringing---NO it will not --USA going in to the darkness it' will be a rough road.

When you have a media united with one party, more interested in telling of the new First Dogs to enter the Oval Office rather than the 11,000 jobs lost by the stroke of Biden's pen, there ain't much to debate. They did everything they could to dehumanize Trump and they're doing everything they can to make Biden look like the benevolent old granddad. They are enemies to this ground.
I don't disagree on the media and Biden. Part of debate is however persuasion. Very little time or effort was spent the last four years trying to persuade non-base voters.
