Funny how no flags are ever lowered at half-staff for any school shootings.

Cuz you know, children aren’t nearly as important as one MAGA pundit…

    Air Force 2 went and picked up his body. They already had a response ready immediately after his death. A long range sniper shot with no one found immediately. At this point it is looking like this was an assassination by the current administration.

    It’s just rhetoric and grandstanding designed to feed his army of anal leeches that mindlessly feed on his bloated science-defying animated carcass.

    If the USA lowered flags to half mast every time there was a school shooting you may as well just cut off the top half of the flag pole. It’ll never get used.

    I don’t understand why children aren’t important - every child lost is one less the asshole can rape. He should care, right?

    Why? Charlie Kirk wasn’t anything. He was a political grifter. Oh. Nevermind. Birds of a feather. I get it now.

      Even if he never said or did anything, he was a friend of the Trumps - both the elderly orange peel currently staining the White House and his mentally-challenged offspring.

      I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Trump’s friends tend to be rather nauseating people.

    Like the new “metals of honor”, lowering the flag is now meaningless. Remember the orange rapist/felon ordered the flags at full mast after President Carter’s death for his inauguration.

      Carter is 100x the President that Taco is. I sure hope that when Taco kicks the bucket, lots of people refuse to lower their flags…he is a total dirtbag and petty AF.

    I will not be lowering my flag in remembrance of the life of an abuser who had helped to cause harm to so many of those that I care about. I will not celebrate his death, but neither will I lose sleep.

      I will not be lowering my flag

      Is that an ICE SUV I see in your street or just a random car full of masked people cosplaying?

      You’re supposed to comply citizen!

      The American flag only stands for people like Charlie Kirk now… or people who don’t care. The Charlie Kirks lower their flags, the careless leave them up.

      You can’t really take the Nazi flag “back” either.

      The American flag isn’t the same as it was two generations ago. You just look like a Nazi.

      On my to-do list is to get a gigantic flag pole and flag. I so wish I already had one up, just so I could NOT lower it for Kirk.

    Lowering flags is now about as significant as being Nobel Prize nominated.

    I don’t understand how Kirk qualifies for this? He was just a modern version of Rush Limbaugh, going even edgier and on other platforms than radio…oh, right, Limbaugh got the fucking Presidential Medal of Freedom, so of course we should lower flags for a fucking Reich wing trolling edgelord.
