WASHINGTON, D.C.—At a press conference held on Capitol Hill Friday, mourning Democrat leaders called for flags to be flown half-mast to honor the death of Qasem Soleimani.
Flags were spotted flying at half-mast around the country, notably at The Washington Post, The New York Times, and in front of several celebrities’ homes. The celebrities went out and bought an American flag for the first time just to fly it at half-mast for this important time of grief.
“The grieving process is painful but necessary,” said Rep. Ilhan Omar. “As a nation, we need to stop and grieve this great, austere, revered religious scholar. He was one of the good ones.”
In a rare moment of unity with The Squad, Pelosi gave each of the girls a hug, telling them to just “let it all out” in their time of sadness.
Ocasio-Cortez didn’t seem to know what was happening but adjusted her glasses to look smart.
A teary-eyed Barack Obama was also seen solemnly lowering the flag in front of his seaside mansion. “To think, this all could have been prevented with a few pallets of cash.” He sighed and stared off into the distance, a look of pain and regret on his face. “If only Trump had targeted a U.S. citizen with a drone strike instead.”
Later, Democrats clarified they meant we should fly the Iranian flag at half-mast, not the “offensive and problematic” American flag.

They can’t be serious! If any person in this country that calls themselves a citizen and patriot want this then perhaps they should renounce their US Citizenship and move to iran.
The Babylon Bee is a satire site, so no, it is not true.
The trick is, to ignore these so called celebrities that hate America. When will people realize that their words mean nothing?
These “rah ‘Murica!” types are going to have a real laugh as this shit spirals out of control. It is going to seriously spiral out of control. There are probably going to be a lot of civilian jetliners being shot out of the sky. Hopefully not the families of anyone here.
can we fly the democrats at half-mast?
I have a rope and a tree already picked out. Now if I can just get the right ones in the right places…..
I want to know what would be wrong with making a list, kind of like Santa Clause. and proclaim who has been “naughty” enough so we discourage people from watching their movies or T V shows. These things called ratings are noted and kept track of. Just as President Trump has demonstrated hitting folks in the pocketbook gets their attention real fast. ( kind of like a sanction or boycott)There is nothing wrong with our not going to see a movie or watch a T V show which has actors or directors or producers which we, as viewers, do not approve. We could also make an effort to tell our friends and family about our likes and dislikes. Of course, this part is aimed at “entertainers”. If you want to get rid of a politician, vote for anyone else.
“Trump has demonstrated hitting folks in the pocketbook gets their attention real fast. ( kind of like a sanction or boycott)”
…except, of course, when the target is Isreal, in which case the boycott is a criminal offense.
This is not heading in a good direction !
