Hans Nichols from MSNBC reports this am that WH Flag is back to Full Staff

[Dennis Donovan]

...while the one at the US Capitol is still half staff.

[Vinca]

1. Someone from the staff needs to fix that. There must be a shred of decency somewhere.

[spanone]

29. I doubt it.

[madaboutharry]

2. What?

I would have thought that flags on all Federal buildings would be at half staff all week.

[Ilsa]

3. I'm amazed no one disobeys The Vulgarian's random orders

that have to do with protocol within the US. I doubt he would notice the change, except when fox mentions it.

[get the red out]

28. They want the payout

For the non-disclosure agreements when they leave.

[gademocrat7]

4. Pettiness and spite have replaced decorum.

The manbaby and his cabal are beyond the pale.

[Achilleaze]

6. Fortress Trump (R) is under seige. The flag is a pathetic attempt ...

to "proudly" cover the stanky ass of the republican liar, grifter, and traitor who the republicans and russians illegitimately installed into our White House.

[trusty elf]

11. .....

[Duppers]

13. Wow. Good one, good timing.

Wouldn't have one with blue stripes, would ya?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

7. Vindictiveness in full view on federal property.

...............

[Princess Turandot]

8. Jonathan Karl (ABC's Chief WH Correspondant) is reporting that as well...

I sometimes have to convince myself that this all isn't just bizarre performance art

[Achilleaze]

33. This calls for a nationwide petition

Put that flag half way down where it's supposed to be...

asshole

[octoberlib]

9. He's a petty dickhead.

[whathehell]

34. Exactly...I'm not even sure if he realizes how hideous

he makes himself appear -- It's almost as if he's honestly oblivious of normal, expected behavior.

[Guilded Lilly]

10. Expect the indecent with these wretched men in the White House.

They have stained our country. It isn’t just the vile narcissist oaf and his despicable spawn. It is each and every enabler of his brand of vomitus lack of character and self-worshipping adoration and blatant, pathological hate. We are being daily ruined by the worst of humanity.
We bred this type of vile scum.
We will suffer the consequences until he and his repulsive ilk are kicked back under their rocks.

[watoos]

12. It won't matter

to the millions of hateful, bigoted people who comprise a big part of the Republican party. These people aren't "for" anything as much as they hate minorities, Democrats, women, or whatever or whoever. I know, I live amongst them in central Pa., my 85 year old golfing buddy is the nicest person one could meet. He is a Korean war veteran. He did meals on wheels, serves at military funerals, but hates women and minorities. He said the worst mistake our country made was giving women the right to vote, at first I thought he was joking. He said his granddaughter isn't all bad, she hates minorities. He hates the people who take a knee at the anthem but loves Trump. He will never change, nor will the millions of people just like him, and worse.

[Duppers]

17. It's practically impossible for me

To befriend such people... I simply cannot contain my contempt for them. Their negative, bigoted attitudes just overwhelm me. This also applies to my extended family.
I am also surrounded here but not by the worst of them, thank goodness.

[magicarpet]

14. The ego of King of Orange will not permit it,...

....McCain had the audacity to say something disparaging about him.

McCain will suffer the wrath of the Royal House of trDump even after his passing.

[watoos]

15. I wonder if the flag

at Mar el Loco was ever put to half staff? Maybe he flies the Russian flag there? Maybe no flag at all. Or his golf courses in Va. and N.J.?

[Guilded Lilly]

37. The only flag he would fly if he could, would be one with his face and name plastered on it.

[keithbvadu2]

43. Loyal Trumpster proudly holding Trump Russian flag

Loyal Trumpster proudly holding Trump Russian flag

[spanone]

45. proud traitor.

[colorado_ufo]

47. This guy.

Grew fat off the land of this country and now betrays it.

[DeminPennswoods]

16. Crass

McCain was hardly a saint, but come on, man.

[babylonsister]

18. Link here...

White House flags return to full staff after McCain's death


A number of reporters and commentators noted that the flags had in the past remained lowered to honor lawmakers and major public figures until their funerals.

[MontanaMama]

19. Crickets thus far from the halls of Congress?

Unbelievable and yet so predictable....or should I say pre-dick-table.

[watoos]

22. Maybe we should all call our Congress critters

and ask them if they are going to lick Trump's balls they better get on board and get that Capitol flag raised?

Do I need the sarcasm thingy?

[MontanaMama]

26. No sarcasm thingy needed for me.

But if the flag gets raised at the Capitol before the Senator’s funeral, I WILL call my Congress critters and let them have it.

[NewJeffCT]

30. McCain was underwater

in terms of his popularity among Republicans, so probably not.

[sinkingfeeling]

20. Can they get anymore petty? Small man.

[demmiblue]

21. He is such an asshole.

[gordianot]

23. Just another example of Trumps magic touch.

Everything he touches turns to a heap of steaming and foul shit. Remember the Teflon President, this is the shit President and his shit show. (I normally do not talk like this but any discussion of Trump elicits a visceral response)

[dalton99a]

24. "George W. Bush ordered the flags flown at half-staff until the interment of Pope John Paul II.

Indian Ocean earthquake and resulting tsunamis in 2004 prompted flags to be flown at half-staff from a Monday through the end of the following Friday."
http://mentalfloss.com/article/23227/why-are-flags-flown-half-staff-times-mourning

Donald Trump is a criminal and a traitor to the United States.

[spanone]

25. that's because the white house is full of neo-nazi white supremacists

and their petty leader - don trump

[dchill]

44. nutshell

[lastlib]

27. Probably on Putin's order

Governor tRumpsky is just following orders from the boss.

[dalton99a]

31. +1. The Kremlin called McCain an enemy of Russia

[watoos]

32. The more I think about this the more disgusted I get.

Can you imagine if president Hillary Clinton did this?

This act of Trump's is just like his pissing on John McCain's grave.

Trump is sending a message to anyone who opposes him and this is why Republicans in Congress will shy away from Trump's disgusting act.

[Roadside Attraction]

35. Confirmed.

My DC attorney daughter passes the White House on the way to work. She texted me at 8:00 AM Eastern time that the flag on the WH is, in fact, at full staff.

[njhoneybadger]

36. Do these people have any sense of decency

[Guilded Lilly]

41. Short and long answer: no. n/t

[Marthe48]

38. Flag protocol is 1/2 mast day of and day after

to note the death of a Senator or Congressman

I found this VA link:
https://www.va.gov/opa/publications/celebrate/halfstaff.pdf

But there is discretion-it can be a longer time if the president designates. But we don't have a president. We have a petty thief.

[B Stieg]

42. Nice Work!

It's always good to know the Regs.
Thanks!

[Marthe48]

50. Thank you

N/t

[2naSalit]

39. Well, We The PEOPLE should DEMAND that it be fliwn

at half staff until the Senator is laid to rest!!! I wasn't a fan of the Senator but this is an outrage and we should scream at the top of our voices to MAKE that fucker acknowledge the the deceased.

[Gothmog]

40. Trump is an asshole

[Recursion]

46. Drove by it on the way to work: can confirm

And still no statement from the White House. What a pathetic, petulant child Trump is.

[Guilded Lilly]

48. Bottom line is and always has been...

The Cretin is only and all about the Cretin.
Party doesn’t matter, at all.
Country doesn’t Matter, at all.
Decency certainly doesn’t Matter.
Truth is non-existent.
Character is void.
People? Only to serve him.
Money? Only to serve his purposes but certainly meaningless if he owes someone.

He holds petty grudges against everyone...alive or apparently, dead. Expect this week to be overflowing with vile acts of attention getting spooge.

And the Republicans will gleefully play his anti-humanity hate games as long as it lines their coffers and furthers their power over non-white, non-male, non-wealthy citizens.
Integrity, dignity, class, conscience...none matter.
They have their rock star cultist emperor of
Narcissist puke controlling the brain dead masses of soulless American wretchedness. All is great in their vomitus world.

Why would they stand for or support anything else?
It is a constant wet dream for them.

[ornotna]

49. Reported on CNN

The flag went back up shortly after midnight.
