Donald Trump's administration on Saturday was accused of promoting the Russian flag, on Flag Day.

The Department of Defense over the weekend wished social media a "Happy Flag Day!"

"Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all. As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let’s celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great," the department stated Saturday.

The image attached to the post included two small images that appear to represent the Russian flag.

Like I said - In LA, people flying Mexican flags aren't fighting for American Democracy.

And in the Whitehouse, clearly they're flying Russian flags and not fighting for (but actively dismantling) American Democracy there.

I hate being politically consistent. There's no cognitive dissonance, but you still get...this.

Tell me about the guys with the black and white American flag

Almost all of them are traitors to their country. You won't see them at protests, and usually they're just thin-blue-line gang members. They don't fly the American flag, they fly a rendition of it that's clearly altered to show their black and white view of the world.
