    I see two new thin-skinned executive orders coming:

    1. United States flags can’t be manufactured in a way that makes it possible for them to be flown upside-down.
    2. Flying the United States flag upside-down is a criminal offense.

      Did you know? The US Flag Code does not specify exact colors, where the rectangle should be, that all stripes and stars have the same size, or really much of anything besides the existence of the features.

      (If you ignore the diagram that was added later but that does not stop the field day vexillology circlejerkers sre having)

      I’d love to see that first one written up just to have flag manufacturers go, “Wait, what?”

        Im just imagining them creating some mind bending 5D object created by one dude who has been demanding funds for decades. Downside is anyone who looks at it for more than 5 seconds has an aneurysm, the sole exception are Autists who start hearing the whispers of dead gods and folks with ADHD because they zoned out and werent actually looking at the flag.

      Ah yes, a vector to overturn Texas v. Johnson and eventually other first amendment precedents.
