Yes it clearly is a sign of protest of SOMETHING I realize I am swimming in dangerous waters in these threads so I come in peace. The message of flying an American flag upside down is IMOa rebuke of our country. It IMO is not an obvious SOS message as this thread implies rather a dislike of America AND our country itself . excuse my French but **** *** NOT YOU THE POSTER the diss on America. While people can even burn the flag and that's okay I guess this expression is too. But I don't have to like it I imagine this upside down flag thing will now be adopted by people on both sides of the aisle, depending on who won the last election. I hate it. Just as I hate "not my President" bumper stickers. Trump in 2016, Biden in 2020: they were/are everyone's President, and people who don't like that should work like hell to achieve a different result next time. 2 1

While people can even burn the flag and that's okay I guess this expression is too. But I don't have to like it I don't believe that Mrs. Alito dislikes America, but you have every right to believe that narrative if you wish. But her husband's recusal from any case he might hear based solely on Mrs. Alito's beliefs or actions is indeed ludicrous. Many examples upthread from the other side of the aisle where spousal political actions did not result in judges recusal. Or if we want to leave the spouses out of it and look at actions of SC justices on their own that didn't result in recusal. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/fitting-for-dissent-rbgs-iconic-collars-were-more-than-an-accessory/2423201/ After this overt political action by Ginsberg donning her famous dissent collar the day after his election in 2016, should she have recused from all cases Trump related? was frequently worn to show disagreement with the majority opinion on cases before the court. But she also donned it on other occasions, most notably the day after Donald Trump's election in 2016. Ginsburg raised eyebrows when she took the bench wearing her dissent collar even though the court didn't issue any decisions that day, according to NBC News. 1 1

Where does that connection come from? A search of the Factiva news database turns up no articles containing the phrases 'stop the steal' and 'upside down flag' before the Times report on May 16. I don't recall the upside flag being a stop the steal thing. So yesterday I looked for January 6 pictures on DuckDuckGo. I looked at a lot of pictures. Many had pictures of people with flags. American flags, Trump flags, and 1 yahoo with a confederate flag and others. I only found 1 crowd shot containing an upside down US flag. I guess all the people with American flags didn't get the memo that it was supposed to be upside down. I saw a quote from Justice Alito in the paper today that I have long thought. "the use of an old historic flag by a new group does not necessarily drain the flag of all other meanings." I feel the same way about the Don't Tread on Me flag. I fly it sometimes cuz its the original flag of the US regardless of whatever others use it for. They don't own it, we do.

B-Man Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Justice Alito Neighbor at Center of Upside Down Flag Dispute Tells on Herself in CNN Interview We are quickly approaching the one-month anniversary of the New York Times upside-down flag hit piece against Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, and not surprisingly, the MSM is still trying to milk this non-story for all they think it is worth. As we reported, a series of Times articles on the Alitos' flag-flying activity have sought to call the impartiality (and credibility) of Justice Alito into question. In their view, due to the alleged Jan. 6th symbolism of the flags in question (including the "Appeal to Heaven" flag once flown at their beach house), Alito's wife, Martha-Ann - who the Justice describes as a flag aficionado - is sympathetic to the beliefs of the Capitol rioters. As such, the Times and their experts assert that her alleged beliefs have compromised Justice Alito's ability to impartially judge cases related to Jan. 6 and the 2020 presidential election. {snip} Plus, it's been over three years since this dispute, and presumably, the Badens have gone on about their lives during that timeframe free from any threats or intimidation tactics - because surely we'd have heard if they had run into any issues way before this point, right? I think we've figured out the inconsistent person in this story, and it's not Justice Alito. https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2024/06/07/alito-neighbor-in-upside-down-flag-dispute-approaches-15th-minute-of-fame-territory-in-new-interview-n2175163

Supposedly, Martha Alito hung a flag upside down because of a dispute with their neighbor's daughter. Supposedly, this included vulgar signs near a school bus stop. However, schools were closed because of the pandemic so the bus stop wasn't used. I've heard that bus stop had actually been moved before this dispute. The incident involving Martha Alito being called the "C" word happened on Feb 15, some 2-3 week after the flag was flown upside down. This timeline is backed by police reports. I still haven't heard anyone explain the logic behind Martha Alito hanging a flag upside down as some sort of a message to her neighbor's daughter. How was the neighbor's daughter supposed to know that the upside down flag was some sort of disapproving message to her? It is really weird logic.

So if someone is wearing or flying a flag with a swastika, you naturally understand that means good fortune or well being? Or has that innocent meaning been flushed away by Nazi Germany coopting the symbol?

That’s the new thing, as we saw last night with a reports of a vigorous and dialed in JB ready to reveal strength and character…and hearing tall tales about inflation, the loss of soldiers, and him taking Medicare out behind the school for a beating.
