    What do you want, a law saying that we have to buy pizza from this guy?

    The guy hung the flag, he wanted people to see it. Should there be a law saying I can't say I saw the flag there?

    Go start a GoFundMe page for him

    I had a barber, just before Trump was elected she put a big Trump sign up in her shop. The minute I saw it I turned on my heel and I've never been in her shop since. You want me to be arrested for that?

    Wow. There are so many ways to respond to that. I guess I could start by saying if people boycotted anyone with a gay or BLM flag you’d have a few words to say, and one of them would be racism.

    Why don’t you treat this guy the same way left is treating people they see as being oppressed; bow, kiss his feet and apologize for your sins.

    And you guys preach tolerance and inclusiveness. What a crock.

    Pure evil and only interested in making those they disagree with suffer. This is not the US anymore. It’s a fascist state and it’s a vocal minority who are the fascists who have far too much influence.

    Hahaha... Being a administrator for a facebook page does not even come close to being a FB executive although I guess by some weird twisted chance of fate she could be. She could also be an unemployed Karen at home administrating a "Cute Kittens" page.

    You too can make yourself a Facebook page admin by following these simple steps:

    Generally speaking, when stunts like this happen my go-to response is to quote LW posters here. In this case, remembering what happened when The Red Hen tossed out Sarah Sanders, we had this gem:

    So there ya go, those of you on the liberal spectrum. One of your own admits this is great publicity, you couldn't pay for this kind of advertising.

    Irrelevant. Answer the fracking question will you?

    Do we have a right to do buy pizza from who we wish to or not? Should there be laws that everyone has to buy from Trump merchants now.

    You want to cancel her admin rights on a FB page? Sounds like you are a leader of the cancel culture.

    Bull feces. Great stinking steaming cow patties. And all the Trumpers would love it.

    I know, charge her with Lese majeste. All you Trumpers think he's freaking King now.

    Trump I, and after he's done it'll be Ivana and then it's time for Little Barry. (That will be so great, that kid is being RAISED as a spoiled brat)

    We can change the name of America to Trump and Trump will become the name of our leader. Like the Romans called all their Emperors Caesar.

    Or he could do like tens of thousands of small businesses and keep politics out of business.

    If he thinks that flying a trump flag will help his business - or if he wants to fly it even though it may drive some customers away - more power to him. If she wants to publicise the fact that he’s flying it and encourage people not to frequent his establishment, she can.

    They are both exercising their 1A rights.

    And I seem to recall a lot of conservative efforts to boycott things they didn’t like.

    Or just start ignoring racism and accept everyone of us is equal. They should at least consider the request in light of the tension in the country

    I'm a Kanye guy myself... at least on Tik Tok.. Troll the Poll !! Smile and say Kanye.. It makes them wonder what your up to. China will be pleased Tik Tok works as planned.

    Google will think America has a sudden surge in bipolar depression.

    Is Kanye selling flags yet? (hint.. make millions in a month Kim).. I think I will get like four and put them out by the road.

    Kardashian Garment Corporation will have fashionable wear that you can buy and show your support for the potential second worst POTUS in history.

    I give every Trump Flag and Sign the finger.. Flush the Turd November the Third

    Yes, one village idiot calling the pizza joint like this is frustrating, when the fellowship of village idiots floods the pizza place it's ruinous.

    Five points. If you encourage your fellow village people across the state to call the pizza place to crack wise, or even to tell them their doing great, if the outcome is to flood their phones into inoperable junk then the Village Idiots have committed a crime.

    Uh Oh. You'd better pay your Village Idiot dues, they're going to overwhelm your phone system and pet your dog.

    A thousand well wishers petting your dog will hurt it, a hundred thousand doing so will kill it.

    I teach chemistry at a university. I have a feeling that you'd be only too happy to destroy my livelihood, should I decide to hang a Biden flag on my office door. You'd celebrate, if I was "cancelled" for doing so.

    I don't do that, though. The guy from the pizza place, however, DID fly the Trump flag (not at home, which would have made a difference, but at his restaurant), knowing full well that many who don't adore Trump see this as a sign of divisiveness. It basically tells people: If you like Trump, you are welcome, if you don't like Trump, you are not. He made his own bed by his decisions, so he shouldn't be surprised if people react to it and take their business elsewhere.

    She’s nuts but not doing anything illegal.

    Imagine someone acting so politically petty here in the USA. It’s unheard of. hehehe.

    Kaepernick wasn't cancelled he just wasn't picked up by another team. He'd probably do fine now.
