First thing I've note is they pinned all the flags together

[procon]

to make them form a solid backdrop. You can see where the fabric has puckered or hangs at an impossible angle. Republicans turned the American flag, which they swear an oath to, hunch and hug as a weird sex toy, and use as cheap swag on all their apparel, into stage props.

I can't be certain but does standard flag etiquette allow the use of pins?

1. No the flag is supposed to be displayed free flow

[msongs]

2. hmmm I thought it was a photo backdrop nt

[CrispyQ]

3. When did the use of multiple flags on the stage start?

It has turned the flag into a decorative element, not a patriotic symbol.

[Captain Zero]

4. Was it done to hide the white house behind them?

Since it's a blatant violation of the Hatch Act?

11. It looks fugly as hell when they do that. nt.

[crickets]

14. I don't know, but I don't like the 'wall of flags' look. Why isn't one enough?

The overkill approach cheapens the meaning behind it.

It has turned the flag into a decorative element, not a patriotic symbol.

Exactly.

6. They're not pinned. They're using flag spreaders.

7. Still improper display of the flag.

[Totally Tunsie]

10. Not necessarily.

It's just one more item over which Chump has control.

13. Oh, so he just likes to artificially spread things.

8. The flag display looked Xmas.

Cons standing in front of a red and white peppermint backdrop. Didn’t look like flags.

[Efilroft Sul]

9. Republicans are into flagsturbation bigly.

[Mariana]

12. Flag idolatry is creepy. nt.

15. Just wait until Trump has his sexy-time with them. If he weren't a toadstool, you'd see his chubby.
