He may not have gotten the president...

[FeelingBlue]

He had hoped to elect. But, the timing of Carter’s death will cause all American flags to be flown at half staff— during the inauguration of DJT.

Oh! The dignity of Jimmy’s final protest!!

“U.S. Code (4 U.S.C. § 7m) requires the U.S. flag to be flown at half-staff for a period of 30 days following the death of a president or former president.”

1. Great observation!

I don't expect Trump to follow the law, however.

In fact, I'll be surprised if we don't see Trump flags flying above the Stars and Stripes or even in place of the U.S. flag.

17. There should be a law to prevent it -

when it comes to someone who committed sedition and espionage.

18. If that happens, it'll be a huge violation of the Flag Code.

No other flag may be elevated to a height above that of the U.S. flag.

I learned that in a squabble over the U.S. flag in our church sanctuary (against both the Flag Code and the United Methodist Book of Discipline). A previous pastor had allowed it. A new pastor who was the son of a service member was appointed and pretty promptly removed the flag, upsetting the conservative veterans we had in our church at the time.

2. So I guess that will apply to Trump when the time comes

Ugh.

3. Maybe not if he dies in ruzzia or saudi arabia.

4. Kick for President Carter.

5. The upcoming funeral and accolades will upstage the coronation of a DICKtator.

For Jimmy Carter's legacy of compassion, service to others, humility coincides with that of MLK's cause for Civil Rights.

With the Women's March on Jan.18th, MLK Day, January is going to be a busy month indeed.

The Nation should show former Pres. Carter a grand send off. It is right and proper. Let the man-baby whine that the attention is not on him for once.

6. The orange one can't get out from under Jimmy's shadow on a bullet train.

The flag announces the starkest juxtaposition between two American presidents ever.

7. Your post just made my day brighter!

TY for that.

R I P Jimmy.

8. Jimmy gets the last laugh.

And a chance to upstage the MAGA crows. He was a victim of GOP fuckery with Bush Sr's 'October surprise'.

9. Thank you, this factoid made my day.

[johnnyfins]

10. You just know that this is going to

bug the shit out of TSF.

[FailureToCommunicate]

11. Yes, and I hope some are flown upside down as well.

[spanone]

12. K&R

[JI7]

13. This should be a non issue regardless of who is President

but it's things like this which contribute to people being exhausted with him. Turning something like this into a controversy which he would have done. Tryng to use it to get favors and other shit.

[usonian]

15. You know exactly what the magats are going to say.

So I won't post it here.

[Upthevibe]

16. Kick. N/T

19. Heh!
