This is unbelievable...

You may want to save a copy of that photo.

It might disappear, once the AP realizes what it is showing.

But it’s not a real flag, only a prop.

You may want to save a copy of that photo.

I did!

[TxPhysicist]

Country before Party, eh Joe?

[BallyBill]

Maybe someone threw it at him and missed.

[John Robie]

It is also up on another thread.

I saved a copy. We need to put this picture out there along with the discarded American flags the Libs used for props at their Greek column farce.

I don’t think Biden would do that to the flag at a formal Senate function, but people tend to let their true selves be shown when they are among those who think like they do.

Biden: "I'm tired of holding this flag, it's going on the ground." Michelle, clapping: "Good for you Joe!"

[Berlin_Freeper]

I don't see Biden applauding.

It’s annoying having to carry that crap around during our party.

(as thought in the minds of Democrats)

First, many do not know flag ettiquite, you really aren’t supposed to print the American Flag on things such as shirts, paper plates, napkins and all that stuff that many use all the time without thinking.

Second, they handed out tons of these flags, and the flag could have simply fallen off of his chair. I guarantee you that if they handed these out at the GOP convention tons of them hit the floor too.

Frankly, printing little flags like is wrong in my opinion, I’m a hard core conservative but this photo means nothing really, non issue, sorry. You print little flags like there they’re going to wind up on the floor, in BOTH HOUSES.

[Petronski]

...this photo means nothing really, non issue, sorry...

Bzzzzzt. Wrong.

[Scythian]

It’s a childish issue. Two seconds after that photo he could have picked it up, give me a break, this is rediculous, that flag should not have been created in the first place.

[Petronski]

That photo is gold.

[Scythian]

No. Section 8i of the Flag Code reads: "It should not be ... printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard."

So printing them and chucking them in trash by the 1000's is fine but oh boy, don't let it hit the ground, but later, go ahead and chuck it in a barrel with dirty diapers and other garbage that's fine, whatever ....

Biden crosses his legs like a woman.
