(58,724 posts)Why draw additional attention to this kid? Seems like it can only create problems for her.

If ever there was a metaphor for this presidency... her real embarrassment was standing behind him in the first place. That was going to be hard enough to live down.

(62,444 posts)Someone who, say, burns a flag in protest is STILL paying homage to its symbolic importance and power. In other words, treating a flag with deliberate contempt for the purpose of making a statement is, itself, an act of intentionally disrespecting a symbol of importance to demonstrate the magnitude of ones grievance - whatever it may be.
What flag snot girl, and her ilk are doing is, in one way of looking at it, much lower than that. By treating the flag with such casual unthinking disrespect, they are demonstrating that it is not a symbol of any importance or consequence at all.

The deadpan looks on plaid shirt guy's friends' faces are hilarious. Definitely making fun of Trumpies.

(5,191 posts)behind Trump she seemed not able to remain still or to concentrate on where she was. Perhaps some adhd or developmental difficulties? Let's leave her alone folks.

(47,487 posts)Still, I've known better than to wipe my nose on anybody's flag since I was a wee lad.
Maybe she don't. And that's about the only reason I'd cut her any slack.

Anyone who stands behind an ass is offering to take whatever shit he spews.
Well said
it looks like a scarf, a flag scarf. that said, it's still pretty nasty to wipe your nose on teevee, but she seems quite young.
