For once, it's a chilling effect for anyone, espechally de-facto members of the #press [since @_SecondThought does #journalism, be is part of it] to intimidate them by a govt. agency like @DHSgov.

He symbolizes a country's #SOVEREIGNTY

Around ten years ago I was criticized in one venue for showing a flag painting. Even my own patriotism had waned in the years of unpopular war.
