WH flag back at full staff after less than 48 hours

[S.J.]

48 minutes would have been more appropriate.

 

[easyt65]

The flag should remain at half staff until after his internment....as it has with the death of other great statesman. The slug trump cannot allow his lust for revenge die.

Please post the evidence that President Trump personally had anything to do with this decision......or STFU.

 

[JimH52]

the slug trump....only two felonies so for....more to come....I ASSURE YOU!

 

[BookShaka]

trump is unable to even pay respect to the dead. His passion for revenge and his thirst for the blood if revenge proves he is nothing more than a low life masquerading as a statesman.

McCain was a Hero and will always be remembered as such. When trump passes....the flag over the WH should be raised to full staff in less that 48 hours. I am.sure Moscow will mourn for weeks.

You’re right but Hiryuu is also right in that they already got the response they wanted. Do any of the anti-Trumpers here besides you seem to care about the truthfulness of the article?

It is also perfectly possible for the Pres to enter a proclamation keeping the flag lowered for a longer period, as previous Presidents have done:
As the nation continued to mourn the death of Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, the White House returned its flag to full-staff, although it has been kept lowered by past presidents for longer following the deaths of other sitting senators, and the Capitol flag remained at half staff.

For example, after the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., on Aug. 25, 2009, President Barack Obama issued a proclamation orderingflags be flown to half-staff for four full days.
W.H. flag back to full-staff after McCain's death, Capitol flag remains lowered

There are some other examples in the article. They all ordered the flags flown at half-staff until the internment.

So it's definitely a matter of discretion on Trump's part. There is something to their complaint, but not as much as it sounded at first.

Simple....trump is seeking blood of revenge even at McCain's death.

LOL McCain got him first, and got him good, with the disinvite to his funeral. OBAMA invited to give a eulogy, and Trump told not to darken the door, even!
Those two boys know how to feud, you gotta admit it Jim.

To think...he even seeks the blood if revenge at his death...trump deserves the anger that I am reading all over Facebook and Twitter.....slug.

why?

because you can't read nor accept standard protocol? because you NEED it to be EVIL TRUMP so you can go on a 4th grade bitching bender and ignore facts so your inner emo-self can be happy about being angry?

trump does a lot of stupid stuff to be sure. valid anger/hate there. but to make shit up and stand by it after being disproven time and time again - that's on your and your own inability separate fact from fantasy.

Flags were lowered for 1-day when Sen John Glen died

-Geaux

And Obama was president then so given that I’d assume the OP thinks Obama is also a “soulless man.”

it doesn't matter what i think of obama. he was elected by the people and while i may not respect obama, i respect what we as a country decide to do. that doesn't mean i will support all of his policies or NOT be against what i don't believe will help us as a country.

that is part of the process also.

but the vile hate and ID behavior we've allowed ourselves to fall into is killing everything.

When you speak of vile hate....do you include the hate and disrespect that is shown a statesman even at his death? Are you including the childish classlessness displayed by an adult who hasn't the honor to even pay proper respect to a great American? Is that who you refer to?

What are you even talking about? Trump followed protocol to fly the flag at half-staff for two days for a senator. What ACTUAL “proper respect” didn’t he pay to McCain in his death? Your anger is based on a fucking LIE and do you think it’s excusable to make a man’s death about your hate for another man who had nothing to do with the dead man’s death?

I’ll be extremely surprised to get a serious and intelligent response that addresses everything I’d mentioned here. EXTREMELY surprised.

McCain was a great man. It is accepted protocol to lower the flag until after internment. McCain's family is being shown that the man in the WH has no honor. He is vindictive and a child.

Run on that! I think that's an awesome campaign issue! dems 2018: We're coming for you weapons and your cash, but we'll fly flags at half staff for 4 day, no, 5 days, no, a week! when our double agents pass away

Compare that to all the fucks they gave when the Chinese wiped out our entire spy network

 

[BookShaka]

Well, that settles it. The CBS article was not reporting the facts, unless that protocol has been overridden by custom in the intervening years. I think this calls for a Politifact review of the CBS article.

There is no need to fact check the protocols, CBS already got the response they wanted, and anything else is just the gravy. People don't really believe in the protocols surrounding the flag anyway. Would you like to see the proper protocols for burning an American flag, because I can assure you it doesn't include finding you closest college campus?

When CBS blows it, they should correct it.

Just because he followed protocol doesn’t mean he’s nursing rancor for McCain and those who think it does mean that are delusional. Their hate has taken away any rationality they may have once had. It’s actually sad to see.

 

[S.J.]

I love it when Republicans are STOMPING on their own.

This is a man that every. single. currently-anti McCain poster in this thread was backing to the hilt when he was going against Obama.

#LOLGOP #SMHGOP #TooFunny

Just as you backed him to the hilt for going against Trump. You're just a hypocrite (but that's nothing new).

well i more see her just pointing out that the president *can* extend the time. given the nature of the 2 i don't see trump doing that for mccain, but as long as standard protocol is followed, it's quite likely trump wasn't even involved in the overall decision.

There’s nothing to their complaint. It’s all a bunch of nonsense bc they’re incapable of seeing things as they are. They’re trying to redefine reality. It’s a fucking illness and I don’t say this to be mean or come off as superior—I say it bc it’s what I see.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Trump followed protocol! Impeach him!!!

 

[Polishprince]

The only thing that made Sen. McCain that "great" or such a hero to our liberal friends was the man's unquenchable hatred for his President. That, and the fact that he was such a pathetic loser in 2008 when Obama schlonged him royally.

 

[WillowTree]

The same hypocrites who support a-holes who disrespect the Flag and the Anthem are now worried about the White House Flag. What's the proper length of time? I can't remember the last time the Flag was at half staff for a deceased senator.

Boom!

You are wrong. You know you can see the history of the flag at half mast.

Uh-huh. Suuuuurrrrrreeeeee. Trump wouldn’t have lowered the flag in the first place if he really wanted to get a message across. I can’t believe how brainwashed you are. You’re making a regular situation into a travesty and the truly sad part is you’re not alone in your efforts.

How long have you or OldLady kept your American flag at half staff in honor of Senator McCain, although it may be foolish of me to speculate either of you have one.

 

[Polishprince]

4 sitting senators bought the farm during the Obama Regime- Byrd, Kennedy, Lautenberg and Inouye.

What protocol did the B. Hussein O regime follow?

 

[JimH52]

I can't stomach the slug anymore. If he comes on TV...the channel changes. He is a heartless BASTARD.

A travesty of epic proportions!! ....

The only thing worse than Trump is a Trump apologist.

White House flag back at full staff less than 48 hours after John McCain's death

What a soulless man is this SO CALLED president. He has no shame....

Why was it at half staff?

-Geaux

Arizona loved John McCain. Elected him as their Senator 6 times. In November, the other Senate seat is up for grabs in the election. I love how the right is committing Harakiri over that seat by bashing McCain.

Telling the truth about someone is always bashing to you trolls. Besides, just look how your sick infected ilk are using his death to attack Trump. Disgusting. Now, you idiots are crying because the flag is not lowered.
