This is WEIRD! Eight years ago . . . [View all]

the right wing media was apoplectic about the fact that President Obama forgot to wear an American flag pin on his lapel. I just watched Trump 's address to the CIA staff - I'm not going to get into the inappropriate remarks he made - and I just noticed that he's not wearing his American flag pin. Where is the right wing outrage today? This incidental practice only seemed to matter when the President was African-American. What can possibly explain this? I wonder . . .
