    Edit: Disregard - it's tough to keep up with the shootings and I thought there were 5 killed yesterday also in the same area.

    It wasn’t a race, just a “fun run”. I wasn’t surprised, just playing off the point that devine made. If you go out of your way to display the flag, especially in this day and age, you are likely a chud or completely oblivious, unfortunately.

    Make a point that anyone celebrating today loves America and therefore president Joe Biden and see where it takes you.

    Wear an "I support the President" hat and you've got a stew going at a mixed political affiliation event.

    Well they’re boycotting Nike and Adidas/Puma are German companies (though it’s probably giving them too much credit to assume they know that)

    Are we talking athletic wear or shoes - because I feel like New Balance has to be a strong contender here.

    I'm generally trying to figure out where and when our troops fought and died for our freedoms since the Civil War. I guess Japan attacked us on our soil in WW2, but were they or Germany ever a real threat for occupation?

    it’s always the whites crying about freedom the most and no soldier died for that specific demographic in even the civil war

    I guess the Revolutionary War. Though those weren’t “troops” like we’d think of them today. And not a lot of them died.

    And we really gotta thank the French.

    Guys my post says "since the Civil War" so that disqualifies the 2 wars we fought against the British. I will say those wars were fought for my freedoms, but what freedoms would I not have if we had just chilled for a while? The freedom to get bankrupted by healthcare bills?

    My neighbors shot off fireworks last night. My dog was not a fan. He pissed on my daughters play mat. He never pisses in the house. He also hides under a table or in the closet. He’s got PTSD ever since they did this last year. He’s now afraid of storms.
