Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Time to do a "tour" of the "Not Supreme Any More Court. Just like Jan 6 but with 5 nooses instead of 1. We have seen there is no real penalty for what the Jan 6ers did. We shold have been fighting the Taliban here & not in Afghanistan. So sick of the Amerikkkan Taliban forcing their sky zombie down everyone's throat.

The flag poll was on City government property!!!
Separation of church and state under the constitution does apply to all government own and used property!!!
The Supreme Court is not longer operating as a protected of the US Constitution!!!
The Supreme Court is now an out of control obstructionist Fascists court that is owned by the wealthy, their corporations, that support only those who want to destroy the US Constitution not support it!!!

If it is a private event & anybody previously could use it, why Wouldn't the Court allow those precedents to continue?!
To make the headline obviously pot-stirring clickbait is Shameful IMO!!!!

Boston should have seen that one coming. It was stupid of them to open up the flagpole to all comers. At least they appear to have learned the lesson.

Time for the Satanists to start holding events in the plaza. I can see it now, Satan flags, Nazi flags, rebel fags, NRA flags. The list of flags that could fly are endless.

"As a result of the litigation, Boston last October halted the program to ensure that the city cannot be compelled to "publicize messages antithetical to its own."
