I want to find someone that sells telescoping flag poles. I'm not talking something that bolts on the side of your house. I'm talking one of those big, free-standing, in-ground flag poles. I want to get one of those, but telescoping. The vast majority of the time, I fly the flag with the flag at the top of the undeployed mast. When someone deserving of memorializing dies, I lower the flag halfway down the mast. When some asshole like Charlie Kirk dies, I extend the telescoping pole and fly the flag at double mast.

I've been considering getting a flagpole just for combat with my MAGA neighbors. Getting one higher than any of the ones they have.
I will admit, they all have stopped flying their Trump flags in the last few months, only the American flag on those poles now. And one even recently replaced the flag that was wind damaged a few weeks ago, so that's a conscious change to only fly the one flag. At least it's a step in the right direction, however small.
Fly the biggest fucking American flag you feasibly canm Or a pole with like 10 of them on there. Make it SUPER obnoxious, maybe they'll get the hint.
This is a good idea but to ratchet it up a notch fly flags of nations that no longer exist, houses from medieval England, just absolute nonsense.
It will be obnoxious and fucking incomprehensible to your neigjbours. Also it will be straight up incomprehensible because it makes no sense.
Don't forget to fly both the Hamas flag and the IDF flag simultaneously.
Fantastic advice
USSR flag on VE Day Conch Republic flag whenever you feel spicy but not fighty Earthican flag as default SPQR flag on the ides of March
Have fun with it
Get all the flags from the armed services and the various pow/mia and veterans organizations. a town nearby has a display with them all and the us and state flag, and i think that's 15 flags total.
I lived in a house with a telescoping in ground flagpole. I couldn't tell you who made it but I can tell you they are real. Good luck on your search!
Perfection. No notes. Bravo.
I think you can fly the flag upside down as a symbol of protest. But I love the thought and visuals with your gogogadget flag pole.
One of my neighbors has a bent flag pole clearly done on purpose.
I find the thought hilarious, though I'm conflicted on how to feel for anyone who actually does this.
Never ask a moron what he thinks. You'll never get the stench out of your head
If I allow myself to be furious at every little thing, my aim will falter when it’s absolutely necessary.
You could always try a Cheerio. I hear that helps keep it in the bowl. Also, don't let your waistband constrict the flow.
In his defense; he's stupid as fuck, old as fuck,.. and busy turning the US into a christo-fascist dictatorship (or at least turning them against each-other so it's easier for Ruzzia to come in)
Also, release the Trump-Epstein files.
And also, one assassination was highly public and watched on video in near real time by the entire country, and the other one was not that.
I'm not trying to say one is less important, like, Napalm Deah is better than Metallica despite Metallica being more famous, but also as a result I'm not surprised my dad doesn't know Napalm Death.
Pantera.
Should have called RFK in to Diagnose the dementia.
