The flag

The NY Times:

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — About an hour before Donald J. Trump was set to address a large crowd here on Thursday, Brandon Partin, a Trump supporter, draped a Confederate flag over the front rail just to the right of the stage.

The campaign people and the cops got it taken down, but…that’s Trump’s electorate.

Yay, slavery. Cue the patriotic music.

    “Will no one rid us of this medal, some traitor?”

    Not a quote but maybe a close call, from Shakespeare no less.

    Secession is treason, isn’t it? So, all McBets are off. Or are we getting King Leary here? I forget. Let’s ask the scholarly.

    Oh and: How the * did that get smuggled in? What other contraband items were missed? Mostly curious.

    And the flag looks ‘officially’ made. Not some redneck’s personal scrawl.

    How many were sold, and where are they flying?
