The justice’s wife allegedly spat at her neighbors’ car and traded insults, prompting the young couple to call the police
After reports that an upside-down American flag had flown outside the Virginia residence of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito during the period surrounding Jan. 6, 2021, the conservative justice blamed the flag’s placement on his wife, Martha-Ann — claiming her actions were a result of a clash over a neighbor’s anti-Trump yard sign and a verbal insult.
Now, the Alitos’ neighbors — Emily Baden and her then-boyfriend, now husband — are disputing the Alitos’ version of events, according to the The New York Times, which reviewed text messages and a police call to corroborate the claims. According to the Badens, Martha-Ann instigated the weekslong conflict and, at one point, spat at their car as they drove by the Alito’s home.
Per the Times, the couple had placed signs on their yard that read “Trump Is a Fascist” and “You Are Complicit” shortly after the Jan. 6 insurrection. Emily told the publication that the second sign was not directed at the justice and his wife, but at Republicans in general. The signs were soon taken down by Emily’s mother out of safety concerns.
living in crazy times. like full throttle over a cliff.

The last phrase in the article really irritates me. I drive through rural areas where everyone flies their pro-trump flags and their “kill Brandon” signs and no one balks. Heck, I live in a semi-urban blue city, and one neighbor on my block had a trump sign with no worries.
But post any anti-trump signs or anti-fascism / anti-insurrection signs and you WILL get a rock through your window, at the very least.
The neighbor next to the trump supporter on my street had a “SETTLE FOR BIDEN” sign. I don’t know if they got flak for that.
I hate the era we live in.
Just flip it agajn
Its just so funny how we literally have the most insider folks that are the most responsible for the state of the country walking around like they are oppressed and need to rebel against the repression. The repression they speak of is of course enforcement of laws around corruption or fighting said corruption.
I’m going to teach my neighbor a lesson by flying my flag upside down. That’ll show em. 😂🤣🤣😂
