So Biden is going to have 200,000 flags instead of people at the inauguration.
Interesting question: how far in advance do you have to order 200,000 flags? Because I'm guessing they've been planning on no-one attending in person for months.
@TheBuilder @pete
Sure, but till late November they supposedly had no way of knowing if they'd win or not. Is that enough time to make that many flags? If yes, then that's fine. If not, then either they were stupid enough to waste money on something when they could have lost the election, or they knew something we didn't know (aka they knew they would have the "win" assured because they had planned to steal it).
@alyx @TheBuilder @pete they do have "fuck you" money from all those BLM ActBlue donations so I wouldn't be surprised if they either bought them in advance or paid more to get them done/shipped faster, probably from some Chinese factory.
@pete Total Hollywood production.
@pete that accidental (?) Russian flag, though. Awkward...
@pete they're also foreshadowing a trumpian national guardsmen to attack during the inauguration.
@pete this really feels like a kind of eerie dystopian future, an inauguration without any people present, i guess the entire presidency will be run over video conferencing too ? 😀
@orionwl Biden is paranoid enough to wear two masks at once, even after getting vaccinated, so probably yes.
A remote presidency is probably also what the people actually in power around him want: all the better to isolate him from reality.
@pete It's going to be Glorious. The end will not be for everyone.

Thursday.
Unless you're a bit short of cash.
Not sure what shipping times from the UK are though.
😏
@iamarnold Often online sites like that don't check order quantities, and will let you order much more than they can ship on time.
I was only joking Pete. I actually didn't think the website would let me put 200,000 in. They are probably having a panic as we speak!
@pete you're thinking like an American. Biden gets to think like a CCP official. Totally different ballgame.
@pete His friends in China can probably make 200,000 flags pretty quickly.
Covid lockdowns have been going on for months so yeah I guess since they started.
