Is it unpatriotic to fly foreign flags during a session of the US Congress?

[rightwinger]

They have.

Democrats support Freedom
Republicans support Putin

No one supports Russia even if Russians are better than democrats. Republicans just don't believe Ukraine is our red headed stepchild that we need to borrow money from China to keep the Ukrainian economy afloat.

What a difference a few generations make. We have gone from inspired policy.



From that, to we don’t care what happens so long as it doesn’t affect us. That was our policy in 1914. It worked out so well.

As far as I know, no foreign flag has ever been raised during a congressional session.

Yet when the Ukraine aid bill was passed, almost every Democrat in Congress was waving a Ukrainian flag and chanting "Ukraine! Ukraine!"

House Dems slammed for waving Ukrainian flag in chamber of US House: ‘Disgusting’​

"House Democrats have come under fire for waving the Ukrainian flag in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives during a vote to approve $60 billion in aid for the country’s defense.

"Ukrainian flags fly in the chamber of the UNITED STATES House of Representatives as they vote to send more of your hard-earned money to a corrupt foreign regime," Sen Rand Paul, R-Ky., said in a post on X Saturday. "And just like that they shout ‘UKRAINE! UKRAINE!’ while happily working to secure Ukraine’s borders, not ours."

Yes. If you're patriotic and MAGA, i.e. America first for the good of Americans and the world, it is highly disrespectful to display allegiance to another flag.

Kennedy would be a republican today!

I don’t know. With the MTG wing controlling the party, it would be a bad fit.

Kennedy supported Civil Rights. Republicans aren’t really interested.

Kennedy pushed civil rights on many fronts, but his approach was viewed by many as noncommittal.

MTG would oppose him in principle.

The Ukrainian border is our border.


Then why can't we send over some illegal immigrants?

I'd send em all let them take over the Ukraine!

I think it depends on the context in which it is done. In this case it is done to show support for an ally, so I don't think it is unpatriotic. That said, sending another 60 Billion to Ukraine is not necessarily a good idea.

Ukraine is not an ally, they are a parasite.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It isn't so much that we are supporting Ukraine, it's that we are 37 trillion dollars in debt and borrowing Ukraine's support.
