More fucking water carriers for the reich

The Winneshiek County Republican Party plans to ask the Decorah City Council for permission to put up "Make America Great Again" flags along Water Street on June 14 which is Flag Day.

Decorahnews.com reports the flags would be flown during a birthday party for President Trump at noon at Water Street Park.

The application for flying the flags says the president "promotes the ideals of Liberty, Justice and Equality upon which America was founded."

According to Decorahnews.com, the city said the application did not meet a 30-day deadline enacted as part of the city's new flag display policy.

Awaiting the whining

On a 4-3 vote, the Decorah City Council has rejected an application by the Winneshiek County Republican Party to be allowed to put up 33 "Make America Great Again" flags on Water Street on Flag Day, June 14th.

City Council members Dan Bellrichard, Andy Carlson, Steve Luse and Ross Hadley voted to deny the request, while Randy Schissel, Kirk Johnson and Johanna Bergan voted to allow the flags to be put up.

Decorah Mayor Lorraine Borowski led the argument against allowing the flags to be flown. She pointed out that American flags will already be flown June 14th for Flag Day and questioned why a second flag would be appropriate. City council member Andy Carlson said he was concerned about flying a flag which had a campaign slogan on it.
