Social White House accused of US flag code violation

Was clearly presented like this for visual symmetry.

I find those raising our flag upside down to be more offensive. I remember learning that's what anarchists do.

 

[freakroor]

If i can't raise the confedrate flag, you can't raise a pride flag.

that's actually not true though.

If i can't raise the confedrate flag, you can't raise a pride flag.

§8. Respect for flag

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

1. The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
2. The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
3. The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
4. The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
5. The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
6. The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
7. The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
8. The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
9. The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
10. No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
11. The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning

Pretty clear on commercializing of the flag.

But I’ve seen overweight rednecks wearing American flag themed dental floss as bikini bottoms.

That's illegal ???
Oh sweet Baby Jesus, take me away because this earth is done.

Okay that's pretty disrespectful to Americans.( I say this as a Canadian who's PM has probably done way worse. ) . Your American. Not a gay American, not a straight American. The flag represents the 1 thing you all have in common. People didn't fight and die for lgbtq. Or for any subgroup for that matter. They died for their families, and the future of a bunch of people they'll never know.

Well said

Wait... Are you this fucking retarded?

You're suggesting that Biden and the Biden Administration should be held to the same standards as some backwoods redneck who's wearing an American Flag T-Shirt because they're feeling patriotic and don't know any better?

I get that Biden has set the bar low for moral expecations for his actions, but its embarrissing that you're trying to rationlize it. lol... congrates troll

A) The Biden admin should know the code and that this was a terrible look. Putting a special interest group on the same level as the American Flag. Gross pandering and a clear way to offend a huge portion of the population
or
B) If they didn't know, well, I wouldn't be surprised considering some the shit that flies out of Biden's mouth and the actions his staff often takes with or without his knowledge.

You're such a partsian clown that you just can't admit this was, at best a dumb mistake, and at worst, a decision meant to virtue signal and intentionally offend citizens who are actually proud to be living in the USA.

Slow destruction of the norms and decorum is key to establish new normal.

No not unless it's made from an actual flag.

Question:
Is it permissible to wear an item of clothing that looks like the United States flag?
Answer:
Unless an article of clothing is made from an actual United States flag, there is NO breach of flag etiquette whatsoever. People are simply expressing their patriotism and love of country by wearing an article of clothing that happens to be red, white, and blue with stars and stripes. There is nothing illegal about the wearing or use of these items.
