Flags at half mast constantly

[Rubicon]

Has anyone else noticed over the past few years that the flag is at half mast like once a week? I have no idea why 99.9% of the time. Wasn't half mast suposed to be reserved for major (pearl harbor, 9/11, dead president MAJOR major) events?

I've noticed that too especially recently

Should it also be upside down??

For the country being in distress yes which I would argue that it is but that's a topic for the politics thread.

It is my understanding it is for the 500,000 that died from Covid-19

trump was leading us down the same path as the democrats. Red republicrats are almost the exact same as the blue ones.

There's more to a nation than an economy. I mean, was he "repairing" gun control? No, he perpetuated it by banning bumpstocks.

I use the gun control example since you're on a gun forum and probably care about those freedoms. From ronald "no one needs an ak47" reagan to donald "gimme them bumpstocks" trump, the Rs move gun control foward just like the Ds do.

Let's run down a list of similarities off the top of my head between trump and biden.

Kids in cages: trump & biden

Prohibition: trump & biden

Move foward on gun control: trump & biden

Continuation of forever wars: trump & biden

Want to decrease size of government: neither

government Healthcare: trump & biden

Welfare: trump & biden

Of course you're OK with kids in cages...


We still have troops all over the place. The only peace deal I'm aware of is the one with the taliban, The one he set to be fulfilled after the election. Let's pretend he did actually see the deal through and that we aren't stiiiiillll in Afghanistan after the guy had 4 years to actually get us out, deal or not. Is forever war in one fewer country really enough to put someone in the olive branch category?

"He didn't pass government healthcare"

He didnt try to get it gone either. I'm sure you remember the whole "repeal and replace" phrase that got used so much. He was pro government healthcare, he just wanted his own version to replace his predecessor's.

He didn't expand wellfare, except for the welfare that used covid as an excuse. I'll buy that, but did he take any steps to reduce or eliminate welfare in any real way? No? Then that must mean he, like biden, supports welfare.

You seem to have accepted that trump is pro gun control. I cant believe you're still a fan.

Take the good with what? With the infringements on your constitutional rights? If you're pro 2nd amendment, why are you defending a president that is anti 2nd amendment?
