Soon, Old Glory will have to be born in the land of the free and not merely flying over it.
Congress has passed a proposal to require the federal government to purchase only American flags that have been completely manufactured in the U.S. The U.S. imports millions of American flags from overseas, mostly from China, and the sponsors of the proposal said it’s time for American flags to originate in the country they represent.
Supporters of the proposal, led by Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, said the change is more than just symbolic — they believe it will support American jobs and manufacturers while preserving the nation’s most recognized banner.
Hello young person, do you know why you should care about the government? Me neither. JFC can we address something that actually matters you fucking empty uniforms. Sorry. Great share, and thanks!
Yeah but take the small wins where you can get them. This is a good thing and we should celebrate even if for a short moment.
my grandfather heard that crock of horse shit his whole childhood and when he grew into an adult he told his kids the same lie
Baby steps we will get there on small victories.
am not telling my kids the same lie
shit does not get better because some less than quarter ass solution got implemented
I hope you never have kids if you’re going to tell them they have nothing to look forward to.
Foreign and domestic propaganda campaigns to dissuade the young and tech progressives from voting. That’s all this is.
“nothing short of a revolutionary war is progress”
Bingo.
they believe it will support American jobs and manufacturers
What, like 3 jobs?
Yeah but they’re going to spend $10,000 per flag that costs $0.10 to make. Gotta keep lining those contractor pockets!
If memory serves, I believe GOP Senator Susan Collins was the one who exercised great skill in brow furrowing - and nothing further - when expressing disapproval over felon Drink Bleach’s reckless behavior.

I read your comment as “hanging tractors” and for the split second I was confused as hell.
Apparently the mods are fucking confused, too, somehow thinking that it’s not okay to follow the law when it comes to treason.
It’s like they know that one of our major problems is that capitalists have destroyed all our manufacturing and sent all of our production jobs overseas thus weakening our economy our society and our National Defense. Yet instead of doing anything about it they just do this thumb their nose bill that does nothing. Kind of like a fuck you to the entire country.
I’d really like to see who drafted this bill and a who the share holders in the company that will be making these flags are. My gut says they are the same people.
What a waste of our time
What?
Flags being born?
What?
Well yeah, they only care about fetuses… Thus anything they care about must needs be “born”
When talking about bizarre American obsession with flags… :
Millions of people dying on the street.
The government: lets play with flags!
You can’t have a country without a flag!!
Since the dawn of time, wars have been waged. The US isnt the worlds police even as much as we pretend. We cant stop war.
Homeless people, disabled people, drug additcs, massive gun crime, crazy motor accidents because no public transit.
Millions of people are dying on AMERICAN streets
How about we just fly fewer flags. I live in the center of the US and don’t need to be reminded by every public building, car lot, and bigot’s house of what country I live in.
Official federal and state buildings, those are fine.
