As Twitchy reported Tuesday night, former FBI assistant director and NBC News contributor Frank Figliuzzi triggered a lot of people watching MSNBC by explaining exactly why President Donald Trump had ordered flags flown at half-mast until August 8 to honor the victims of the mass shootings over the weekend.
You see, the flags will return to full-staff on August 8. That’s the eighth day of the eighth month, or 8/8. And what’s the eighth letter of the alphabet? H. So Trump wants the flags raised on 8/8 because H.H. stands for Heil Hitler and it’s a coded message to his Nazi supporters that, despite what he said in his speech, he’s with them on the El Paso massacre.
We’re glad we weren’t alone in picking up on that story; Mediaite also shone some sunlight on it, and it turns out that while a lot — and we mean a lot — of people found Figliuzzi’s theory “chilling,” a lot also think he’s a nut.

And 8/8 is on a Thursday! You know, Thor's Day. The white Norse god of thunder. Obviously more hidden messages here to ferret out….

The name Donald has 6 letters in it, exactly the same as Adolph! How obvious can this get?????

I’m glad he’s just on tv now & not the FBI assistant director for counterintelligence. He’s clearly insane and it’s truly frightening he held any high level law enforcement position.

This reminds me of the movie where Jim Carey went crazy seeing the number 23 in everything.
You're nuts.

When did @NBCNews turn into InforWars-level conspiracy theorists? For all the talk of dangerous rhetoric, they are setting the tone of political assassinations to start happening and need to stop. This isn't helping.
— LA Kings Yahoo (@CryinHayward) August 7, 2019
This most definitely is not helping.
This is called insanity.

There were some experiments by the CIA in the '60's where they fed massive amounts of LSD to volunteers. Do you think it went on some years later too? Delayed reaction or flashbacks?

Just when I thought I had heard the craziest comments from the liberals yet, this happens, and I realize there is so much more crazy out there yet to come.

Barack Obama was the 44th President. 4 + 4 = 8(H). Obama’s middle name starts with H. HH = Heil Hitler

Don’t forget Obama flashing the “white power” sign; he’s absolutely in the club:

Like we’ve said; the Mueller report was a dud, socialism isn’t selling, so it’s going to be be “Trump is a white supremacist” 24/7 until they can find something else.
