Is this flagpole crooked?

[riversedge]

It looks like it might be--Wish we had other angles to view it from.

8. It's just

A cigar

9. A very crooked, impotent cigar.

16. Looks like it has that disease they started advertising on TV...

"Peyronie's disease. Peyronie's disease is a condition that causes your penis to curve when it's erect. It can be painful but there are treatments to ease the symptoms and stop it getting worse."


How appropriate since Trump's huge new phallic symbols were overcompensation
for his tiny penis.

[Conjuay]

20. I had Peyronie's disease, but I finally got that straightened out.

[Jack Valentino]

22. I see what you did there....

well ok, I didn't actually "see" it.... and I'm not sorry about that

LMAO

[Deuxcents]

2. It leans like he does

[hlthe2b]

3. I can only hope that is among the very first things that go with a new President (Goddess-willing)

Day 1.. along with all the crappy "gold" atrocities in the Oval.

25. I second this! Yuck

4. It's tilting now, but KKKaroline Leavitt says it will decide its true angle in two weeks.

6. Well, the current occupant is crooked.

[electric_blue68]

7. Jokes aside, I don't think it's tilting. It's the angle of the photo.

Look at the side of the WH compared to the edge of the photo's frame. It's tilted.

Now look at the right side of the flagpole versus the WH windows behind it. It's following the verticle straight lines of the windows.

I'm an artist, I can sometimes notice things.

But it sure makes the WH view kind of ugly esp knowing that that bustard placed them.

[John1956PA]

10. I agree that the pole is not tilted. This is a "fishbowl" effect from the lens.

[Buns_of_Fire]

21. Perspective. I compared it to the windows and the WH columns, too.

There doesn't seem to be a problem with the flagpole. The flags seem a little droopy, though. Perhaps the WH has become a "dead zone", which wouldn't surprise me a bit.

[Wounded Bear]

24. Yeah, I saw those too, but...

I believe the pole is tapered, as most tall poles are, which would mean that if one side is well aligned with verticle surfaces behind it, the other side can't be.

Maybe?

[electric_blue68]

26. You're right, it's tapered.

[Norrrm]

11. Trump's Nazi flagpoles.

[Jilly_in_VA]

12. Probably used Quikcrete to put it in

and then didn't wait till it was all the way set. Which figures.

[Torchlight]

13. It befits the White House-approved Dunk's Lean

A rotten bunch of drunks and subtance abusers if ever I saw one (yes, Statler & Waldorf... we know that grapes come in bunches, not drunks).

[Enter stage left]

14. No. It is straight. They used a wide angle lens to get the whole building in the picture...

Look at the angle of the flagpole and compare it to the angle of the windows behind it, and the columns on the building.

When they say "don't believe your eyes" this is one of the reasons.

[John Farmer]

15. Gawd! I didn' t think they'd let him put it right there!

[yardwork]

29. It really looks awful.

[maxrandb]

17. It's trying to "bend toward justice"?

Or, it's so fucking embarrassed it's trying to pull up stakes and get the fuck out of there.

[electric_blue68]

27. Maybe it is, He Certainly Isn't!

[allegorical oracle]

18. Happens to a tapered pole that bends when a yuge flag gets wet.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. The traitor who put it up certainly is.

Trump’s so crooked, he can’t pee straight.

[jmowreader]

23. It's a perspective issue, not necessarily a crooked flagpole

The pole is parallel to the White House porch columns, and they're straight.

Given that, seeing as how everything else in the Trump Administration is crookeder than a dog's hind leg, I'd say the flagpole has the right to be crooked too.

[Irish_Dem]

30. This is what Trump kept telling Stormy.

[biophile]

28. Does this flagpole make my president look like an ass?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. Yes

Who is surprised that trump does shotty work

[generalbetrayus]

32. I dunno, I'm inclined to think it is leaning. It does not line up perfectly with the windows -

you can see less of the right edge of the upper window than you can of the lower window, and with a tapering pole, you'd think it would be the opposite. Also, the base cap appears to be tilted. Maybe the installation crew hates Orange Julius Caesar and dogged it, just like our beloved soldiers during his birthday party parade. Also, the White House was built on marshland; I'd expect them to have put in a pretty deep foundation to keep the pole from leaning.

[Walleye]

33. It's flaccid

[doc03]

34. I think the WH is crooked. nt
