	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.

	And for all of the sh!t spewing Dems like Chuck Schumer &amp; Nancy Pelosi &amp; Hillary Clinton, you have videos of them talking about stopping illegal  immigration.

<p>
	Now they’re doing a 180 on it, and suddenly they’re all for it.

<p>
	True...it’s not a tweet, but it’s the Dems on record walking it back.

	PS the idea that he refused to lower the flags has no actual basis besides an accusation by a democratic Trump hating hack politician. 
</p>

<p>
	That doesn't mean he did or he didn't but consider the source and consider the fact that it hasn't been verified.

	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.
</p>

<p>
	We have a tendency to make heroes or villains out of people that are just like delete pilgrim, victims of different sets of circumstances.
