Suggests? Doesn't sound like a suggestion to me there chrissy. So, should I be upset that when we put down our last canine Oxxxx didn't order flags lowered? Trust me, he was far better than any reporter. Or, maybe, just maybe, the admin is actually following flag protocol. Just a SWAG!

“... Because He Hates the Press...”

Who doesn’t?

Chrissy girl, when you die, we are raising the flag another half-mast in celebration.

Anyone with room temp IQ or above hates, loathes, despises, and casts great dispersions on the low-T, low achievement, low morals vermin known as the press.

I wanted to SLAP NorDUH O’Donnell for bringing this up on CBS This morning for the sole purpose of attempting to make Trump look bad, these so called media people cannot see their own bias. Or perhaps they do, NorDUH should know there I no precedent for this and frankly it was grandstanding to make this request.

The media again and again proves it is biased and corrupt and full of hate.

Have we any perspective about what calls for that?

I believe Maryland can still choose to do that with its own banner.

I received notification from my Knights of Columbus Color Corps that:

“As a mark of solemn respect for the victims of the terrible act of violence perpetrated on June 28, 2018 at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland, President Donald J. Trump has ordered that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff effective IMMEDIATELY until sunset, Tuesday, July 3, 2018.”

Perhaps Trump by this decision will encourage journalists to utilize their Second Amendment Rights and protect themselves when their lives are threatened.

1.) We do this too often and too easily anyway. Our flag should almost NEVER be at half staff. It indicates weakness and defeatism when overused.

2.) No one cares about dime a dozen presstitutes propagandists.

3.) Go hang a dirty antifa flag from an old stick if you must. See point 2, above.

4.) We know our enemy. Try something else. See points 2 and 3, above.

"Cuomo then proceeded to rattle off other instances where Trump had ordered flags lowered such as the Las Vegas and Parkland shootings. To make the point about the number of victims not being an issue, he cited the lowering of flags for former First Lady Barbara Bush and Reverend Billy Graham."

Well, he shouldn't have lowered for most of those things either. It should be reserved for an event of national meaning, or for the death of national figure, like an ex-president.

I was watching the morning news on the local NBC affiliate in Houston this morning and they talked to the national NBC reporter about this terribly important development. Their comments were dripping with snark.

I don’t think the flag should be lowered near as much as it is now.

But that’s just me, a military vet.

CNN stands out, even among the generally Left in journalism, for their extreme commitment to the War On An American Future.

Their is purpose in their seemingly irrational rants; and it is a purpose that reminds one of the Norwegian Quisling and our own Benedict Arnold.

President Trump does not hate the Liberal Media.. The Liberal Media hates President Trump!

Flags would be flown at half mast every day if we flew them for all the innocent people murdered by Leftist Scumbags like the one who killed those journalists/newsroom workers.

The Elite Press think they are special.. They consider themselves royalty.

If the president had flags lowered every time there were 5 or more murdered/wounded in a shooting then the flags would be perpetually lowered on the basis of a Chicago weekend.

This was a personal vendetta on the part of the shooter yet the paper immediately blames Trump for calling the press enemies.

We all knew the press were enemies long before Trump came along. When they came out with that political statement, any feelings of caring about the incident disappeared immediately.

Bury the dead with quiet dignity instead of parading the corpses for political gain.
