About time
👮TRUMPISM-RACISM🚓
@Gabe Dudley I’m real, just helping spread the truth.
@Bud Fudlacker … even more in Appalachian trailer parks… and Midwestern trailer parks… and deep South trailer parks… wherever there’s a handful of trump supporters…
@CherBear “3 miles of wall” 222 Miles

@Pat Moore Oh no Pat. Did you just delete your own comment! That’s ok, it still shows up in my notifications. Here we go ~
Pat Moore replied: “Peter Bills … only 12 miles of new wall in 3.5 years… pitiful… just pitiful….”
Not 12 miles. 222 Miles

I’d have to say the bigger accomplishment Trump made with respect to illegal immigration was threatening tariffs on Mexico if they didn’t deploy their national guard forces to their southern border with Guatemala. Dried those illegal alien caravans up quite nicely. Wouldn’t you agree Pat?
@Annnora C are you like 12 years old and your mom finally let you get a google account?
*Confederate Symbolism is part of Systemic Racism. POTUS can put all the racist monuments and flags in TRUMP Tower, & Mar-A-Largo, if he loves them so much.*
@Marilyn Reallon *.. be easier to burn them all in 1 place in South, 1 place in the North 😉*
Confederate Symbolism is part of the Democratic Party and the KKK
Leave USA, becasue you are a imperialist! Leave USA to the Indians!!!!!
@Marc Ze again, few people realize that the values of dems and Republicans have reversed since the origins of the Republican party.
Do you know when the parties originated and what the premises were?
Marc Ze Hey Marc, when are you going to answer Cheryl’s question?
Trumps latest voter suppression attempt is voluntary mask rallies
He just doesn’t know its Republicans that attend his rallies
Mississippi pledged allegiance to Confederate traitors who killed thousands of American patriots.
@Tomas Neshoba.holba … that’s a particularly flawed and overgeneralized theory… and that’s all it is because it’s factually incorrect…
Robert byrd. The dems were and stilll are the slave masters. The white liberal is the kkk
@Pat Moore
Good explanation of his error but typical of your ilk, he is factually correct, can you disprove?
Bud Fudlacker Stop liking your own comments you sad waste of skin.
Vintage stereo score https://sfmkm.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_20.html
Removing symbols is the first step toward changing hearts.
Time to play that song of yours, Joe. The nation needs a sound track!
Debra, Dementia Joe said Obama was the first clean intelligent black man! Do you agree?
@Bud Fudlacker You’re repeated use the the phrase “dementia joe” shows not only immaturity and lack of creativity, it also shows a low intelligence level that would be incapable;e of understanding any answer that your questions may incite. Maybe go clean your room like your momma told you.
@Hard Boiled Mahoney Obama was clean enough for Biden! Can he find a clean enough black female for a VP??
Randy Couch What is your point? In fact what is the point of you, Randy?
@Hard Boiled Mahoney Voting for a guy with Dementia is much more immature! In fact it is elder abuse and dangerous and very stupid! Dementia Joe really does have Dementia its not funny!
Mississippi should have a contest of the new flag so they all can participate on the new state flag
Monday morning : Treason , white power , 125,000 americans in their graves, a dozen lies from the white house …… So trumps idea of making america great again is still on course .
@Wigg Picker hey found the white supremacist who is unaware the decent Europeans stayed in Europe the genetic waste migrated to the Americas.
@Nevyn of OZ 1973 This melting pot called america contains the greatest, smatest people of all colors , races, from around the globe, But america like anywhere , sometimes fails to live up to its greater Ideas, and we have elected someone who represents the worst of what we are , but that will be rectified this november.
@The King Maker Dignified, polite and accurate.
Have you considered a career in politics?
I don’t care which party or ideas you support.
Think about it.
@Nevyn of OZ 1973 Easy tiger, this pommie remembers how Australia was settled.
Let’s play nice with our cousins.🇬🇧🇺🇸🇦🇺
@Nevyn of OZ 1973
The democratic party is a front for the devils legion, all the lies and corruption comes from there
Can you imagine if Germany still flew the Swastika ?
@CHALK 4 CHANGE Deer is right, in the headlights…. try refuting the facts, maybe you’ll learn something in the process

Q
@Adventure54 BLM and ANTIFA are your real terrorist, supremacist groups here in the 21st century…enemies in plain sight, funded by the same folks who funded kkk…You do your research. They just changed faces and flags…barely
@CHALK 4 CHANGE don’t fall asleep in this guy spreading false information.. There are plenty of black history books out here…. Especially when the Republicans accept the KKK into their party 😂
Thragon68 Christ, I really hate you pathetic conspiracy nutters…your no use to man nor dog. You could at least do one right thing….
@Thragon68 what a.coward you are. Hiding in terror from reality in delusional conspiracy theories. Grow up. life is meaningless. There is no god. no one is in control. Existence is chaos and bad things happen for no reason. But your cowardice in the face of meaningless is to seek a boogey man rather than courageously create.meaning.
It’s something they should have done decades ago. But at least they are finally doing it.
Wigg Picker you are living in a crazed delusion being taken advantage of by “allies” that also think you’re crazy.
Thragon68 God I wish you conspiracy theorist nutters would do the decent thing…..you really are pathetic wastes of skin, smh.
@Joshua Valentine
Im jo mammas sisters baby mamma, bigboy so no more valentine sweets for you unless you tell everyone about Hillarys Child peddling syndicates across the globe in graphic detail
. So, basically youre spiraling into the end of Revalation and youre an ate up cesspool rodent blown out with satanic madness like a Tampax wrapper flapping in the breeze of the damned.
~This is your destiny, shitwalker
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Christ.
This is more symbolic BS. #Reparations
For Mississippi to pass this says a lot..kudos to you ole Miss👍😉💙
America stronger together hooray!!!!!
Should’ve never been on the flag anyways. Jacob’s troubles
😄 Mississippi was named after the Native Americans that were there before Europeans were
And the ancient swastika symbol was sacred until the Nazi’s co- opted it for hate… Would be nice if the state of Mississippi could b renamed.. Growing up between Mississippi and Louisiana I have no good memories of MS, just alot of hate and evil concentrated in that state…
Mississippi rising, may the people grow in the right direction, and stay safe.#Peace
If the Confederate flag represents Southern culture to you then you never had real culture to begin with. The South can do a lot better than that!
Ulysses so true
Embarrassing it took until 2020 to remove a REBEL FLAG from a state. Ridiculous really.
@Pat Moore lincoln was a separatist, the “emancipation proclamation” was written during the 3rd year of the civil war, and still neither had anything to do with the Confederate battle flag.
Wanna try again racist?
@John Traylor I have neighbors who it took more than 3 years to sell their house so they could move. May or may not have been a problem that their next door neighbor had a son flying a confederate flag on his jacked up pickup truck, along with the number ’45.’ Soon as he graduated and moved away, the house sold. I totally believe even a tRumpster doesn’t want to live next to a tRumpster. They’ve isolated themselves from neighbors, family and friends and only pledge devotion to ’45.’ The opposite of anything that was ever ‘great’ about this country.
C. H. Well said✌🏼
@Rolyat – This is ameriKKKa. Not surprising.
@C. H. Its a step in the right direction,one flag here and one statue there it’s all going away,and it is our job to teach our children that racism is wrong,they know that tRUMP is a almost as evil as Hitler,and the skin heads are dying off,I had three different neighbors like that,they died from lung cancer from smoking meth,and the last one is dying from covid 19,to dumb to see a Doctor,saw him yesterday in his driveway on his knees gasping for air,stay inside stay alive,be safe and wear a mask.
As a soldier, I am happy I don’t have to see This flag everyday. I’m relieved actually.
I remember when one of the Confederate Flags were burned and I was a born Republican against the Confederate flag Mississippi lawmakers are making the right choices
You cant eliminate racism, but we can remove white supremacy from our systems of government.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
You tell them Rafiki.
roof pizza
I think the journey began some time ago. But this is a really positive symbol of how far we’ve come even though we have further to go.
