...to draw a parallel between the republican condemnations of football players for "taking a knee" in what republicans claim is disrespect for the flag, and the republican White House now blatantly disrespecting the flag by (in KGOP BizzaroLand) keeping the Flag UP while honest and loyal Americans everywhere else are flying the flag at half staff in respect for Senator McCain.

In my defense I want to point out that inscrutability is not the worst thing in the world. So I have heard.
