Confederate flags, sure. But that should be it.

The shock jock is DeSantis. I have a hunch that DeSantis would have done this if he hated Limbaugh.

Won’t this be confusing with flags already at half-staff for the 29,000+ COVID45 victims that DeSantis helped kill?

I’m starting to be a fan of cancel culture. Can we cancel all of these Republican trolls?

If you drop one of rushie’s little blue pills* at the base of the flagpole the flag will rise right back to the top.

Putin should order the Rushian flag at half staff too.

Might as well just fly the Confederate Flag at full staff.

These people all need to be put down. Burn it all. You couldn’t possibly supply me with sufficient ash with which to choke them to satisfy my rage.

I always find it interesting how people that have flags in their yards seldom follow half staff calls and even more so other “standards” of respect for the flag like only lighted at night, not flying in bad weather , all tattered up, etc.

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday ordered flags to be lowered at half-staff in honor of notoriously racist radio host Rush Limbaugh, who died from lung cancer at age 70 this week.”

As a compromise, I’ll meet him half-way: I’ll lower my stream to half-flow over Limbaugh’s grave.

Geez, DeSantis is going to ruin Florida’s reputation. People might think their state government is run by corrupt, bigoted assholes.

Florida man desecrates American flag in memory of Florida man who desecrated America.

This is about nothing more than owning the libs. It’s the state level version of Trump giving degenerates like Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Or, as @occamscoin points out, the flags at half staff could just be an acknowledgement of a man who went through much of his life at half-staff.

This is just the beginning. Republicans spent years trying to get everything in America named after Reagan. We will have Limbaugh schools, municipal buildings and airports in our future. Their worship of people who spent their lives trying to undo multiculturalism and actual democracy is sincere and bottomless. We are in different worlds.
