Westside Steve Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 So, of course, this has sparked outrage among some people. At what point is it correct to lower the flag to half-mast? I am assuming that the request regarding the shootings of journalists is politically motivated. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/07/02/lowering-flag-its-trumps-decision-when-order-flags-half-staff/753218002/ WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since individual shootings in the ghetto don't count. And how many need to die? 5 and over? Or is it just because they are so called journalists and we want to pretend that the president, rightfully thinking that journalists are crooked is what caused their deaths? If so... Three... Two... One... WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"“This disgraceful omission is unacceptable and yet another example of our incompetent politicians,” Trump said at the time, ordering flags at all of his properties to be flown at half-staff. “It is a simple yet meaningful and important gesture that signifies our respect and recognition for these great soldiers who lost their lives.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 just another head shaking example. The guy literally has zero consistent principle. He just says what he feels at any given moment. This is not a guy I trust to do anything of any value in Washington, he's not a leader. You can argue neither was Obama, fine I really don't care about any other past president cause I never liked any of them...including lord Reagan. They're all frauds and hucksters.

Hey you can respect or follow anybody you want. I've said all along, way before you ever showed up here that there is a ruling class. Guaranteed by the Constitution and the fact that we are a republic. I've also said just about anybody, besides maybe brain damaged or mentally Retarded oh, can be the president. We have a tendency to make heroes or villains out of people that are just like delete pilgrim, victims of different sets of circumstances. There's not a man on Earth who could handle every single aspect of a junior high school football team by himself let alone a country with hundreds of millions of people.

Westside Steve Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 PS the idea that he refused to lower the flags has no actual basis besides an accusation by a democratic Trump hating hack politician. That doesn't mean he did or he didn't but consider the source and consider the fact that it hasn't been verified. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for all of the sh!t spewing Dems like Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi & Hillary Clinton, you have videos of them talking about stopping illegal immigration. Now they’re doing a 180 on it, and suddenly they’re all for it. True...it’s not a tweet, but it’s the Dems on record walking it back. Same difference.
