Personally do not care about the flags, but the **** Biden flags are an exception.... I have a six year old son and if someone advertises that on their flagpole, then yeah, I feel fine calling someone trash for that.

I guess it means you are “arrogant” or “elitist”.

I wonder if they took the new guy around the areas where his people rubbed **** everywhere?   My question is was it intentional or just the result of nature from being unclean people?  Like do they do that everywhere they go?  I know it’s always touch and go with indoor plumbing and toilet paper with these people. 
 

does pointing that out also make me arrogant or elitist?

I think they were marking their territory like feral cats.

I've lived almost my entire life in conservative areas, including growing up in a town that gave Trump 70% of the vote and currently in a county that gave him 64%. 

I respect people regardless of who they voted for, and even know and socialize with quite a few people who voted differently than me. But on expressing support in that kind of vulgar way, I absolutely believe that is trash and judge accordingly. Becoming a parent and trying to raise kids the right way changed my perspective there, I give no quarter.

Prosperity Gospel....

They tend to forget a few key verses: Isiah 41:17, Matthew 5:3 Mark 20:21 (a very key one) Luke 6:20, 1 Timothy 6:8....

I'm sure our resident Trumpers have these memorized

They would have a heart attack from having to get off the couch. I could take them. I had some training.  
 

If making fun of people with vulgar signs makes me elitist or arrogant then what does it make you in defending them?  They are scum.  Trump and his supporters have no class. They are the ashtray of America. You can sell your souls if you thjnk it will make you richer. There’s a word for that. 

It would take about 2 minutes and you would have it coming. I'm not defending people with vulgar signs. I have a problem with assuming all people are like that, they are not. But then again, I am at fault for arguing with a clueless unhinged 8 year old.

so what would even come close to a 21st century equivalent of overturning the tables of the money-changers? It's all bits in the ether now. They've found a way to make their avarice outrage resistant in physical space.

And if they ever taught their flocks the truth, they would understand that this kind of praise in the service of profit is exactly what the 3rd commandment is really talking about.

I agree with this, although it'd be nice if this feeling were reciprocated by a lot of conservative-leaning people who, at least in my experience, have no problem trashing people with experiences that don't match theirs.

Exclusive: Trump administration canceling flights for nearly 1,660 Afghan refugees, say U.S official, advocate

Quote
WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. government to resettle in the U.S., including family members of active duty U.S. military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump's order suspending U.S. refugee programs, a U.S. official and a leading refugee resettlement advocate said on Monday.
 
The group includes unaccompanied minors awaiting reunification with their families in the U.S. as well as Afghans at risk of Taliban retribution because they fought for the former U.S.-backed Afghan government, said Shawn VanDiver, head of the #AfghanEvac coalition of U.S. veterans and advocacy groups and the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
 
The U.S. decision also leaves in limbo thousands of other Afghans who have been approved for resettlement as refugees in the U.S. but have not yet been assigned flights from Afghanistan or from neighboring Pakistan, they said.
 
Trump made an immigration crackdown a major promise of his victorious 2024 election campaign, leaving the fate of U.S. refugee programs up in the air.
 
The White House and the State Department, which oversees U.S. refugee programs, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
 
"Afghans and advocates are panicking," said VanDiver. "I've had to recharge my phone four times already today because so many are calling me.
 
"We warned them that this was going to happen, but they did it anyway. We hope they will reconsider," he said of contacts with Trump's transition team.
 
VanDiver's organization is the main coalition that has been working with the U.S. government to evacuate and resettle Afghans in the U.S. since the Taliban seized Kabul as the last U.S. forces left Afghanistan in August 2021 after two decades of war.
 
Nearly 200,000 Afghans have been brought to the U.S. by former President Joe Biden's administration since the chaotic U.S. troop withdrawal from Kabul.
 
One of the dozens of executive orders Trump was to sign after being sworn in for a second term on Monday was to suspend U.S. refugee programs for at least four months, said an incoming Trump administration official, who requested anonymity.
 
"We know this means that unaccompanied children, (Afghan) partner forces who trained, fought and died or were injured alongside our troops, and families of active duty U.S. service members are going to be stuck," said VanDiver.
 
VanDiver and the U.S. official said that the Afghans approved to resettle as refugees in the U.S. were being removed from the manifests of flights they were due to take from Kabul between now and April.
 
They include nearly 200 family members of Afghan-American active duty U.S. service personnel born in the U.S. or of Afghans who came to the U.S., joined the military and became naturalized citizens, they said.
 
Those being removed from flights also include an unknown number of Afghans who fought for the former U.S.-backed Kabul government and some 200 unaccompanied children of Afghan refugees or Afghan parents whose children were brought alone to the United States during the U.S. withdrawal, said VanDiver and the U.S. official.
 
An unknown number of Afghans who qualified for refugee status because they worked for U.S. contractors or U.S.-affiliated organizations also are in the group, they said.

It sure sounds like you are defending people with vulgar signs. If you like I can go back and show you where.  You got your panties in a bunch and promoted  attempting violence against me for calling them out.  
 

it is interesting to see how certain people react here when a certain demographic is rightfully attacked, yet they pretend to be “apolitical”. We see what’s going on.

Keyboard cowboy, no way he would say that to someone’s face.
