Danny Boling ☮️The law is clear: flags shall be flown at half-staff for thirty days after the death of a President.
But, you know, fuck the law.
Right?
Fuck. The. Law.

Why are US flags being flown at half-staff on Inauguration Day?
President-elect Donald Trump has expressed frustration that flags will be flying at half-staff when he takes office later this month. It’s an action put in place by President Joe Biden to honor the late President Jimmy Carter. U.S. flags had also been lowered to half-staff when then-President Richard Nixon was sworn in for a second term in 1973, due to the death of former President Harry S. Truman the month before. Trump wrote on social media Friday that “no American can be happy" about the flags being lowered. He indicated that he might try to do something about it, saying, “Let’s see how it plays out.” The Biden White House said the president would not change the flag plans.
Michael Barclay@godpod Flags were at half staff for President Nixon’s second inauguration, following the death of President Truman. Remember how Nixon’s second term ended? An omen for Trump’s second term, perhaps?

Bleak FutureI like that we’re flying our #flags at #HalfStaff to honor the #victims of a #MassShooting in the #US. That said, by my count there have been 73 mass shooting #deaths so far this month.
At this rate we’re going to need to just leave them there until it becomes a bit more difficult for #AngryMen to acquire #guns to address their #insecurities.
