To the Editor:
Our American flag, held aloft by Trump, Pence and cowering Republicans is now at a different angle with the red stripes dripping blood downward, the white stars crumpling into fierce little dots. With bigotry, racism, misogyny, their prime goals are to trample the poor, ignore the cries of children and ensure the desecration of human rights. The Trump Doctrine is an embarrassment to our world. We have become the terrorists.

Speak for yourself.
hanley –she is absolutely correct.
Liza– your comment is so obvious it hardly needs to be pointed out. However, you forgot to point out the systematic destruction of environmental laws, LGBT rights, international trade and peace agreements, and the general astonishing corruption of this administration. The military code allows for the flag to be flown upside down when in distress. A better way to fly it under current conditions.
