Obama ordered more flag lowerings than any previous president
But then, we know he was constantly ashamed of America
They could ask the WH to lower the flag after every weekend in Baltimore
Some nutty disgruntled incel, murders a few people at a newspaper because they did a news report on his stalking, and that is a national day of mourning? By that standard the flags might as well just stop at half mast all the time
You please, it’s not a mistake to show respect for the dead and to the families of the deceased.
Stop being so petty.
Why don’t we just leave it at half staff? Someone great dies every day.
A chicken response to a bullshit request that further reduces the importance and impact of a flag event.
I guess if President Trump asked himself: “What’s going to further my agenda better - doing this or not doing this?” and followed that, I have no reason to complain.
On the other hand, I will be royally pissed off if they lower the flags once that vermin McCain finally dies.
Show all the respect you want, cupcake, but leave our Flag out of it.
Uggh. Think about it. He’ll have a State Funeral. Lying in repose in the Capitol.
On the other hand, I will be royally pissed off if they lower the flags once that vermin McCain finally dies.
Makes me want to vomit repeatedly.
I’m sure Johnny Boy is already constantly fantasizing about this. For many years he’s planned out his “hero’s funeral” in his narcissistic mind—like a five year old little old girl planning her “someday” Princess wedding.
Oh, really? I wasn’t aware of that. Still not aware of it, so there’s no half mast. ;-)
After druggie Whitney Houston, it was on its way to become meaningless.
Right, it did not come any where near to meeting established criteria. It cheapens the honor of half staff (like the Nobel Prize has been tarnished all to hell)
The real victims are the papers subscribers.
In my understanding the Flag is lowered for military deaths not for political purposes.
Absolutely uncalled for at anytime unless there is a national mourning of epic proportions. BTW, some of the survivors at the paper still say f-Trump.
With what is going on in America today it might be just as well to leave the Flag at half-staff daily.
I don’t think he can be guilt tripped. What did he have to do with it? The MSM leftards immediately blamed him without so much as waiting for the facts, but they can’t make him hop just because they say “toad”.
Dip our nation’s flag to “honor” five individuals who were NOT warriors, who did NOT serve their country, and who DID spend their careers spewing left-wing lies and propaganda? That flag is MY flag, and I resent it being used as a political tool for scum.
