Let’s get real about this flag. It wasn’t continuously flown from 1861 until today. It was an obscure flag not flown very much at all from the end of the Civil War until after WWII, when it became popular with Dixiecrats. It gained prominence in the south during the fifties , and it didn’t fly over any government…

This is why maintaining their delusions about the size of their base is so important to thid administration.

Why not replace it with the last one the confederacy had that mattered (the all white one). :p

It’s surely still flammable though, right?

“This is not a rape case,” said Judge Stoker, according to the Guardian. “This is not a sex case. This started out as penetration with a foreign object . . .

I live somewhat near this area, and this case has me completely enraged. I can’t even put a coherent thought together to comment on the absurdity of this, but I can tell you that the resistance movement in this area is furious at this judge, and they are doing everything they can to have him removed from the bench.
