Likely has containers he packs it all up in.

Itm, why not test your reaction further by searching his site for a piece of real trash? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't let any he noticed blow in from elsewhere remain to degrade his "patriotic" statement.

Summer's of course the season when nature makes a genuine effort to kill you, and with him on one of the beaches no wonder so many homes and subdivisions have swimming pools.

Of course everyone here is a Democrat and therefore well balanced, free of bigotry, and genuinely patriotic, but on open forums I often have to check the team jersey to know which side a poster is slinging from.

He also seemed to be sitting by himself. I wonder why? What a jackass. I live in Florida, on the west coast. There are a few trump flags etc but they are all old and faded. I think some people are getting over it.

Many years ago, I was invited to go camping with some acquaintances. I was in the area working and they had come to visit and looked me up.

When I arrived I found that the campground was kind of full and the acquaintances had just arrived, it didn't look like there was room for the group without two spaces.

Seeing this, the mom in the group begins shouting and yelling which got her kid doing the same. Then she cranked up the music and a male in the group started acting like there were no rules in the campground with respect to the other campers' experience.

I was not thrilled with their behavior, seriously this all spun out of control in a matter of fifteen minutes. At which point the one who invited me admitted that they intended to clear a few spots in the campground by running people off with their behavior so there would be more room and privacy for them!

I decided I didn't need to know anything more about this group of folks and left, I was only minutes from the bunkhouse where I worked so it was no problem for me to leave and be home shortly after.

I heard, the next morning, that they were evicted from the campground about an hour after I left. I was glad they had no idea where I worked or stayed.

This guy reminds me of that event.

The ugly Americans indeed.

to sit out on the beach alone knowing he is causing folks around him to be uncomfortable, he more than likely will resort to violence at some point..
He should be on the FBI watch list.

He should be on the FBI's watch list? For expressing his 1A right to freedom of expression?

Don't get me wrong, I abhor his support for the Mango Menace, but I also support his 1st Amendment to say it.

when his little irritating stunts don't produce the trouble he is looking for he will move to more violent acts..

Like the guy down in Florida that had the trump crap all over his van and sent little pipe bombs through the mail.
Remember that.

Are you a mental health expert?
Have you personally examined him for mental illness?

He's expressing his 1st Amendment right to express his political views, even though I vehemently disagree with him, and he should be able to without being put on a "watch list".

Lots of people whose sole purpose in life is to get a reaction out of others.

Sometimes it's the only attention they have access to.

.......

Experts say excessive patriotism almost always degenerates into fascism.

For me, this is disrespectful to our flag. Excessive displays, low to or touching the ground is just wrong and serves no purpose other than paying China to make more copies. Even more offensive to me is people wearing the flag as clothing.

This certainly is within this guy's legal rights (assuming he cleans up his mess) but I'm curious to know how much money tRump grifted off this little display.

I have lived in Jax. FL for 50 years and CA 20 years and have never seen anything like that for anyone. I have never ever seen a political sign at the beach, never! I don't even see MAGA hats at the beach we go to near the Navy in Mayport. Of course we go to a beach park where it is never crowded (don't go there on holidays) and is more of a family spot.

But Damn, I sure wouldn't want to walk up on this by accident. My mouth has a hard time knowing when to stay shut and I'd get in trouble for sure. FL has so much coastline, this could be many places, but I would sure love to know exactly where.
