southpaw: Far from the most important point, but is the phrase “a novelty flag, the type that would typically decorate a garden” meaningfully descriptive to anyone? Seems like that could be anything

So Robert Barnes had the Alito story in 2021 and didn’t run it www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Wife of Justice Alito called upside-down flag ‘signal of distress’www.washingtonpost.com In January 2021, Martha-Ann Alito said the flag, a symbol embraced by election deniers, was raised outside her home in response to a neighborhood dispute.

Just bizarre stuff from the Washington Post spokesperson

I mean why would any reporter even want to write about this straight up jazz freak out involving both Alitos in their driveway on the day of Biden’s inauguration?

Far from the most important point, but is the phrase “a novelty flag, the type that would typically decorate a garden” meaningfully descriptive to anyone? Seems like that could be anything

Maybe it was this one?

There must have been a moment, after an enraged Mrs. Alito went storming out of the car back into her house but before she re-emerged with a novelty flag to raise, when Barnes and Justice Alito were standing there wondering if she was going for a weapon.

Mrs. Alito reportedly had quite a day outdoors on January 20, 2021. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/u...

Yeah I'm pressing X to doubt the "concerns about covid"

She didn’t seem particularly concerned with Covid in that moment…

If Trumpism has accomplished on thing, it’s reminding us that wealth and power are inversely related to decency.

Last week: “Yeah, sure, Alito’s WIFE did it. Great excuse, you creep.” This week: “Christ, she really IS like that. Wow.”

That is one magic loogie

Looked and sounded a lot like this

At least she appears to have touched grass at some point.

"They came upon a rigourous game of Four Square." somehow got edited out of the story.

“and then the alitos left for their early bird dinner at the club”

I can hear her haul up that loogie from here!

So why doesn’t No Sodomy Sam skip sessions with Gorsuch?

And notice your earlier tweet about going in the house to get the gu....i mean flag. Believe the new revelation is that the argument happened in Feb. long after the flag was raised. Republicans lie. All the time. bsky.app/profile/jami...

Looks like Sam Alito lied about why there was an upside-down flag flying over his home days before Joe Biden's inauguration, mimicking the Jan 6 insurrectionists. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/u...

Still don’t understand why she didn’t just, idk, turn the flag right side up?

Because thats what a normal person would do. These people are mind melted, gone down the conspiracy rabbit hole. They gladly tell us what authoritarian insurrectionists they are. We should listen.

Uxor Alito expectorated

Barnes and Alito going "soooo how about them Commanders, huh?" while assiduously not making eye contact as she digs through crates of christmas lights in the garage.

Dollars to donuts that Alito still calls the Washington football team by their original name.

And talking. They clearly spoke for a long time. There’s a lot missing from the reporting.

"Either way, she's probably going in for a flagpole."

Or at least both wondering “dude, THIS is your/my wife?!”

Wait is there some allegation she has been waving a piece around at the neighbors?

I keep imagining her blindly pulling flags from a big box and tossing them aside as they each prove to be increasingly racist, until finally coming across one with hummingbirds or something.

I'm going to guess it was the Gadsden flag.

Or this

This is the flag we pledge allegiance to in our house.

Is… is that… a Shrek-as-Buddy-Christ on a flag?

I need this flag.

Didn't Reagan get a centerfold glossy with a Lawn Jockey in his garden? Could have been one of those flags...

first result

Don't poop on me

Garden sized! That's just a garden snake, right? www.briarwoodlane.com/garden-flags...

Ms. Alito seems extremely hinged. Much like her husband.

was wondering about that.... wtf is a novelty flag?

What’s on the other side?

Send Alito a gift!

this is one of the top google image results so I'm just going to assume it's this

Now you’re talkin!

Yeah for a story with so much detail the sudden going out of focus on something usually is telling.

It had a tree on it. You know, garden stuff.
