    Is it a thing that he has the flag upside-down?

    And what is with the “XXX days and a wake up” slogan, where is that from? What does it mean? Why was it 119 days the other day and 118 today? I’ve seen it used in widely different contexts.

      A flag flown upside-down is meant to signal distress.

    Under Section 21-5-6.2 of the Georgia Criminal Code, it is unlawful for any African-American male to walk down a public thoroughfare while displaying an American flag in any manner other than with the field of stars in the uppermost position.

    As a corollary, assaulting any person who violates the above section is an infraction punishable with a fine of no more than $20.

    Additionally, pursuant to Section 22-5-1, it is unlawful for any person to travel in public without a firearm or fixed-blade knife with a blade at least 5 inches in length.

      Gonna have to ask for a citation for that please, those section references don’t get any hits. Furthermore:

    And so today is Awkward Allies Day where Sanders is expected to endorse and stand alongside Clinton at a rally today, to the delight of the Bernie or Bust crowd.

      According to the rumor mill, today is also the day Trump will pick Mike Pence as VP. I’m not especially convinced.

      PENCE? The idiot who nearly doomed his state by refusing to admit th anti LGBT+ law was a bad idea and instead defending it even as Indiana lost business? That Pence?

      Who am I kidding, he counts as a moderate for the GOP...

    Guess there isn’t much of a police brutality problem in Atlanta if it’s just the one guy.

    Red, white, and blue are probably gang colors. Take him down, boys!

      They’ll have an easy time catching him: Those colors don’t run.

      That’s what the 118 days is, a progress bar.

    Today’s the day:

    Bernie and Hillary to appear together at a campaign rally in New Hampshire. Issued a joint statement and everything.

    Good to see them coming together.
