    “As I have stated publicly, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of that flag,” Alito wrote of reports and photos showing an upside-down American flag flying outside of his Virginia home after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. “I was not even aware of the upside-down flag until it was called to my attention . . .”

    Claiming not to be aware of a flag outside his own house, I would say it’s unbelievable but these are republicans we’re talking about.

      Oh Republicans are very aware but lying is just another tool in their shed.

      I can reasonably see that. If someone started flying a flag at my house I think it’d take days, if not weeks for me to notice unless I was going to literally walk into it. Stick a flag on the roof and odds are I won’t see it for months
