I'm a Tennessee native and have lived all over the state during my life and I legit had to look up on Google maps where Bruceton was located.

To my neighborhood was at half mast, too. I asked a couple of older guys n they didn’t know why. Tomorrow, I’m going to the office n ask. I’m not gonna jump to conclusions b/c there were signs up about political window signs were not allowed. Messing with the flag is another issue.

You are wise not to jump to conclusions.

As for Mayor Butthurt of Bruceton, cry more fascist. That's the kind of talk you guys like, isn't it?

Helluva town your running there Mr. Mayor. Not to mention that you've lost 10% of your population over the last 20 years. But, yeah, Donald Trump is the guy who's looking out for your interests, right?

The median income for a household in the town was $28,409, and the median income for a family was $36,176. Males had a median income of $31,146 versus $19,323 for females. The per capita income for the town was $15,711. About 17.4% of families and 16.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 18.6% of those under age 18 and 13.6% of those age 65 or over.

and thinks it should always be respected and treated properly. I'll guess he was among those who squawked loudly when he saw people kneel during the national anthem. But he doesn't think twice about abusing the town flag to make a personal political statement.

I despise hypocrites.

He also lowered it for several days when PA was called for Biden, and then again when the states certified their results last month, and again on January 6.

Yesterday, it was so low it was dragging on the ground. He raised it slightly today so that it is no longer touching the ground.
