“Thanks to the #WorldCup we finally noticed it’s the Panama Flag,” Cheesman wrote as part of a Twitter post, joking that it’s “over 25 years of treason.”
My grandma has worn the same shirt with red, white, blue, and stars to celebrate the 4th of July for more than 25 years. Every year, she wears the exact same shirt.
