City Council has rejected the flying of the Irish Flag nest month.
Is it the City lost the Watertown Goes Green festival to Clayton....Is it a principled stance that the City flag poles are not there for novelty flags....is it a way to justify not flying the Pride flag in June ?
Is Juneteenth next?....Columbus Day? Or the Semiquincentennial ?
This a a catnip story for media and may make the nets or Daily Mail.
Mayor Pierce and Council Member Shoen continued to oppose flags, but a gutsy swing vote came from Shane Garrabrant......
Members Kimball and Osbourne voted yes.

Novelty flags
Never heard that before
Interesting take
Is there a Columbus Day flag? And if there is, and the City did raise one, they’d need an operator on duty to field the calls all day long of “what the heck is that flag you are flying.”
Clayton already decided not to fly other flags.
So Compo not only has turned on the people of the city, she has now turned on the Irish. How can her own family stand her? Is she racist against the Irish? I imagine her uncle, Bill Flynn must be pissed at her. This is a woke move- - sad, pitiful move. This is what Watertown voted for so this is what you get.
The people who claim they are against the cancel culture, are those most in favor of it. It’s just they have a bunch of hyperbolic, slow thinkers agreeing with everything they say, not realizing what they in turn are doing.
Sad day for the Irish of Watertown.
It’s ironic when out-of-town staffers feel entitled to tell the City Council how to spend our taxpayer money. Nothing reveals employees' self-interest and selfishness more. And the good doctor becomes confrontational when he doesn’t get his way. Let’s hope he does not ascend to the mayoralty.
And there are a ton of Irish
The Irish aren't a race, retard.
New: Rather than turn former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández over to immigration officials when he was released from prison less than four years into a 45-year sentence, the Trump administration paid to transport him to a posh NYC hotel.
7:58, they are if you are keeping count of freckles and red hairs
Watertown needs a Johnny Spezzano Hall of Fame flag
Thank the gay community
Why do you hate this country so much? You'll do anything possible to get your name in the news. Sad, lonely man you are. Try reading the Bible you thump.
The doc getting in would be as bad as if his hero comma-la had been sitting in the oval office. He has poor judgement regarding boundary lines and when not to cross them, typical left leaning democrat... look out Watertown. Very happy to see that young Shane stuck to his better senses and put the doc in the street over this very important issue. Flags on government property should be flown to represent us as an entirety, not as a novelty.

Be honest now. How many times have you watched the Bobby Jr/Kid Rock workout video?
I know a guy who blew some pandemic grant money on a Free Brittney flag. I wonder if we could get permission to fly that?
Shut up you extremist hatred jealousy bigot!!!!!
Someone is a big time bigot for using that slur in here.
How’s about the real reason why the majority said no. Because the members do not want to report to public ceremonies of flags, parades and other functions because they do not want to interact with the public at all unless it is their closest friends! Just like Ben Shoen hardly does. He hardly goes to any functions at all!
Your lord and hero Resident Chump has divided the country so much there's not a chance of anything representing us as "an entirety", 11:20. He's despised by the Dems, the Independents, the minorities, women, and Republicans that have at least half a brain. Sorry, you're now a minority.
Blue wave coming old dude.

A gutsy swing vote? No.
The “Division” Argument — Why It’s Weak
Garrabrant’s quote: “There could be a flag that causes more division…”
This is a classic slippery-slope justification.
If applied consistently, it would eliminate:
Parades, Public art, Cultural festivals, Speakers, Historical commemorations, Even council proclamations
Anything meaningful can “cause division” to someone.
A city that fears disagreement becomes culturally empty.
I would not call this decision, "Gutsy". Milquetoast. Yes.

Robert Dorgan, who opened fire at a R.I. hockey game last week, it turns out is the father of Kevin Colantonio -- a man who set fire to a Black church in 2024
They both subscribed to racist, right wing ideologies
Colantonio's writings included “gun everyone down that isn’t white, if one is white spread the gospel"
Clayton was the first community after my trial within just a few months that changed their flag policy.
Some of the jury members were from Clayton.
Unlike you, I've taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.
There's no expiration date to that.
Watertown messed around and found out.
Don't forget you lost in a court of law to Flat Earther. Multiple times. That must really be so embarrassing for your ego. How can a flat earther that has nothing beat everything the law and politics has thrown at him?
It's because I know more than you. Knowledge is power. And I got court cases to prove it. Those are called the receipts.
So when I say keep your pedophile flag off the city flag pole you better listen.
So 6:21 is saying that one only needs half a brain to be on the Left, yeah seems about right.
Just remember where clifford/1:38 AM is sitting now, Mr Garrabrant, if you are off the blocks without his support you are winning already. I see a Mayoral position in your future.

7:01 DLB, in other words you ruined it for the rest of us, because of homophobia, Irish and Italian flags have flown for decades in Watertown and across America. But because of your hatred of the LBTQ, you made our weak COW government cave not because of the gayness, but because some other group could insist we put man goat lovers unite or even more insane Flat Earth flags. That is why they caved, nothing to do with the rainbow flag, but the other crazy stuff that closeted people who normally just grow their neck beards in the basement and don’t complain about regular people, having some fun with their own heritage, and yeah I am straight Irish.
Flags from other countries were always accepted because they demonstrated the melting pot that America is, gay pride flags flown by sub-minority anti-Americans only demonstrate what we have for a mentally compromised mob as far as what I've seen.
I don't remember the councilman bringing up my name for the reason.
Hey moron, not your flagpole anymore since you don’t reside here anymore!!!!!
I LGBT percentage is almost at 10% of US pop. Up because it is now seen as more acceptable, someone you know is in a category. Do I agree with everything they stand for? of course not, as I probably don’t 100 % agree with anyone, that’s life. Whatever Flat Head tries to accomplish he’s still out numbered, my goldfish out numbers him in brain cells.
As always happens, MAGAs like 7:39, would rather deflect than respond to the truth of the issue - Trumps pitiful approval rating. Prepare for the fallout in the voting booths.
Maybe Leven will task Jeff sewing one for him 😂
What a fool - Donnie taking credit all over the place, but backing away when he sees people are pissed at him for ruining a longstanding tradition to honor those that helped build Watertown.
I don't understand why those that move away from the area feel like they should have any input on what happens here. Must lead terrifically boring lives in their new locations.
Shane won because of the pot stirring meme page idiot group that are fueled with anger and jealousy used tactics to get the incumbents out and get their picks in which only one did and the other failed.
The truth of the issue, hmmmm, ok 7:39 that's easy... you're not all there. Easy peasy!
The truth of the issue, 7:18, is you just proved 9:23 is right - you can't even figure out who you're responding to. 🤣
Oops ya got me there 7:35, but it took you two half brains to gang up against me for your point.
Did you forget who else ruined it, the meme team of Jenn Bossout, Amy Horton and Milly smith who stirred the pot and also got Shane Elected in to the city politics all because they were mad at one issue!!!!! That’s right, the golf course issue is what angered people to go a different route and get one more of Sarah’s gang!!!!!! So don’t just be blaming Donnie even though most of it is on him to blame but blame the meme team as well since they are fueled with hatred, anger and jealousy and rather see us miserable!!!!!!
The line's been drawn 11:51, nobody hates you and you're just gonna have to get over it now pumpkin. The weather is changing and before long you'll be able to get out for some fresh air. Maybe a nice cup of herbal tea would help in the meantime? Good luck.
Go crawl back to your meme page 12:07!!!!
Not sure what that even is sweetie insomniac at 3:00 am, but try warm milk instead of the herbal tea if you can't sleep.
