'One again, I am lowering the White House flags to half-staff': Biden says the US 'must act' to stop gun violence that 'pierces the very soul of our nation' after Indianapolis mass shooting

President Joe Biden ordered flags lowered to half-staff at the White House and public buildings Friday following yet another mass shooting event in the country – this time at an Indiana FedEx facility.

The president said he and Vice President Kamala Harris have been briefed by their security team on the incident 'where a lone gunman murdered eight people and wounded several more in the dark of night.'

His statement comes after he has already ordered flags at half staff for prior mass shootings in Atlanta and Colorado, and amid an ongoing impasse in Congress that has prevented a legislative response.

This whole half staffed flag has gotten ridiculous. I now notice if a flag is not at half staffed.

The flag in my town square is half-mast at least 90% of the time. It's almost startling to see it raised all the way to the top.

I'm thinking the town flag-raiser is losing upper body strength at a rapid clip.

He needs to announce all flags will stay at half-staff through 2024, UNLESS Joe Biden thinks America is having a rare good day.....

The Buy-Dung Administration is calling “gun violence” a “public health crisis”.

Same phrase as COVID.

Same playbook.

Same loss of freedoms.

Get bent Joe.

The smoke hasn’t even cleared yet and you’re standing on top of the dead to score political points.

A pathetic virtue signal from thr President. He could lower the flag after your typical deadly weekend in Chicago but he won’t because it would draw attention to the failed Democratic leadership there.

Trump never had this level of mass shootings. Cops matter.

Don't worry - if the load in his adult diaper shifts, he'll fall off the top of the pile, just like he fell down the steps of Joe Farce One:

If you look close, you can see the load in his diaper throwing him off balance.

He was trying to make it to Fishnets Jill and the Presidential Changing Table.

Just fly the flag upside down to signify an unelected President.
Stole elections have consequences.
