So you know with certainty that protocol was not followed regarding flying the flag at half staff?

The flag is to be flown at half staff the day of death and the following day for members of Congress.

Flags were flown at half mast for Senator Kennedy up until his burial.

Other flags around the capitol remain at half staff.

Just another petty dick move by El Presidente “Bone Spurs” Two Scoop.

The other day, Trump tweeted what was basically an ad promoting himself.

He just sounds like a used car salesman at this point..

1-800-NO COLLUSION!!!

Trump's use of twitter just feeds into his narcissism. It allows him to see how many likes and retweets he gets. I remember from shortly after the election one supporter said that she awoke each morning looking forward to his tweets "because he was talking directly to me."

CNN reporting that WH bowed to pressure from the public and will lower the flag again. Trump supposedly releases new statement on McCain.

I don't have a link yet......


It's a Goddamn shame that it has to be public pressure to cause this to happen.

How long till we get a Trump complaint that McCain didn't support him now that he raised the flag back after two days of being his usual asshole self?

I'll say tonight probably.

McCain said in a recording that to all that mourn him, and even those that don't, to celebrate. Right now I strongly suspect the president is doing just that.

Inhofe is one of those major tools who you can't help but wonder how they got elected in the first place.

Oh, and McCain was 'mean' to Cheeto (from the article)? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

I've got money that says Trump didn't have a single thing to do with writing that. And is currently fuming like a Franklin stove that it was released. He probably didn't know it was being released until it was released. It's possible his staff said this is too big of an unforced error to allow him to continue with this tantrum

From what I understand the American Legion may have beat them into submission.They came out hard criticizing his flag antics.

And more to Kim Jong-Un. And Rodrigo Duterte.

Not to mention MBS and the our lack of condemnation when they bombed a shool bus.

When a similar situation happened under Obama the condemnation was swift and all arms deals cut.

But then again, MBS owns 30% of Trump Inc's debt.

It must suck to be a foot soldier for someone who repeatedly makes you look foolish. If you had any shame you would stop posting, but you'll most likely move on pretending this post never happened.

"The American Legion urges the White House to follow long-established protocol following the death of prominent government officials," Rohan wrote in a letter to Trump. "Senator John McCain was an American hero.”
