Liberal Trolls Helpfully Improve Southern Pride Facebook Page, With Old Gay Dicks
There is a terrible and wonderful thing about Facebook: Its security settings are supposed to give you lots of control over your account, but you have to be careful, especially if you’re running a group, about who you give administrator access to. Like for instance if you’re running a pro-Confederate flag group, and you are won over by a charming person who talks a lot about his southern heritage and how much the flag means to him, and he turns out to be a liberal with a wicked sense of humor who, once given admin privileges, kicks out all the other admins and renames the group “LGBT Southerners for Michelle Obama and Judaism.” And what follows is a beautiful thing, possibly even better than the people who throw goats all over rightwing Facebook pages.

So happy to kick and it needs a ton of recs to share with all here.
Finally, someone brought back a good old flag with diagonal bars on it, at least:

Hoping something similar happens to Donald Trump fan sites. (Say, "Short-fingered vulgarians for open immigration and rent control."
The possibilities are endless.
Ingenious!!!!!!
The wheels of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly FINE!!!!!
"glad to hear it, Dane. It takes a while to come to terms with your sexuality but I'm glad you've come to this point."
Virgil Texas is a genius!
You know, the one with the dildos and butt-plugs?
