    Do we lower it when 10 people get killed in Chicago Hood?

      So we're at a point where a mass shooting has to be "big enough"? Lovely

          10 people in 10 seperate incidents is not the same as 5 people in one incident. 

          fyi

                      So which of the recent shootings warranted Flags Across the Nation to be flown at half-mast? 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...

                          No idea. They lowered them today this morning I think anyway. Apparently nobody really refused in the first place.

                              wow, so Obama didn't lower the flags for the church shooting quick enough for Drumphy and look what he wrote at the time...

                              "“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.”

                                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.

                                    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.

                                      And we still have not gotten an answer about which mass shootings are worthy of national flag lowering.

                                        No idea. They lowered them today this morning I think anyway. Apparently nobody really refused in the first place.

                                        wow, so Obama didn't lower the flags for the church shooting quick enough for Drumphy and look what he wrote at the time...

                                        "“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.”

                                        For everything Trump does or doesn't do, there is a trump quote/tweet from the past contradicting it.
