Tennessee mayor puts flag at 1/2 mast for Biden's inauguration

Wanna bet he did nothing for the capitol police killed by the insurrectionists?

The mayor of a town in Tennessee lowered the U.S. flag to half-staff before Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday, saying he was mourning the "loss of freedoms" he believed a Democratic administration would herald.

In a message posted on Facebook, Mayor Robert T. Keeton III said: "The Town of Bruceton grieves for our Republic and our loss of freedoms.

"We mourn the victims of the Chinese plague and those that have suffered its depredations.

"We pray that God delivers and restores us and that we do not fall to the clutches of communism."

And the mouth breathers that inhabit it. I am so sick of their holier-than-thou bullshit that they spew. Most of the ones I know tell me about how the next life is the important one. Ok, fine, then go to it quickly and leave the rest of us in peace.

It’s unconscionable that they would lower the flag for such a happy occasion but not for the people who have died from Covid or after their traitorous invasion on January 6 when a cop was murdered while protecting our democracy.

Have I mentioned that I hate this state? I still vote, but have no reason that my vote will ever change anything. These people are ignorant in a way I have never seen before.
