ā€œWH Flag Back At Half-Staff After Intense Criticism Over Disrespecting McCain.ā€

Weak! Sad!

Better headline: ā€œFlag of Surrender Appears Over Trump White House.ā€

Trump WH tweets ā€œit was always supposed to be at half mast but someone accidentally tripped over the line while going for covfefe. Fake news! Sad!ā€

Nursing note, 3:45 p.m.

ā€œCrisis in residence, staff scrambles to cover. Pt. angry at TV malfunction, demanding immediate fix. No one wants to tell pt. WH flag was lowered and all stations are showing it. Gave him new flag to color, Kim Jong Un approval ratings to study. Pence rushes in with Diet Cokes. Not sure how long we can hold out.ā€

Flag-cucked from beyond the grave :laughing:

You donā€™t run the country, you donā€™t even run your own rooftop.

Will his base finally turn away from him after this grossly disrespectful and childish act of hate towards McCain?
(Not holding my breath)

Worth repeating:

Taking a knee during the anthem to register your dissatisfaction with injustice is disrespectful, but using the flag to snub your dead political opponent is MAGA. Got it.

Johnā€™s final service to the country. Make DirtBag Donald flinch.

I am amazed that the WH responded to the criticism. It must have been pretty virulent. FOX must have said something! My favorite lede of the day goes to Charlie Pierce, though ā€œJesus, what a petty, irredeemable fuckhead.ā€

I hope thereā€™s a Valhalla where McCain and the guys he flew with are drinking beers and laughing themselves weak over this chickenhawk crawfishing like that. Awesome.

Apparently Trump has found a limit to his Presidential power. I hope he encounters more and soon.

When McCain is lain in state in the capitol building, there should be a large procession marching down Pennsylvania Ave, with flyovers, marching soldiers, and military vehicles all flying flags at half mast. Call it a parade or something.

Thatā€™s why Charles makes the big bucks, heā€™s got a way with words.

72 y.o.'s donā€™t grow up. They grow out maybe, grow infantile sometimes, but grow up? Not so much. Theyā€™re either there already, or theyā€™re never gonna get there.

Donnie looked very unhappy during his appearances today. He has a mad that all the attention is on McCain and not him.

Even his supposed trade agreement with Mexico (no, heā€™s not replacing NAFTA, whatever he claims) wasnā€™t enough to get him the attention he demands. The toddler is going to act out soon.

Craven, crass, churlish and chickenshit.
Besides being petty and vindictive, heā€™s a coward.

Iā€™m guessing heā€™ll go over the edge soon, Just hope he doesnā€™t take the rest of us with him. That little comment he made, something like ā€œmake yourself usefulā€, to the guy that came over to get the phone working on the call to mexico, seemed like he was about there. Iā€™m guess soon heā€™ll scream at someone in public or go after them physically like the westling stunts he did only for real.

If everything goes the way Trump wants it to go we wonā€™t call the agreement that governs the North American Free Trade Zone NAFTA any more. Other than that, its just a slightly tweeked NAFTA.
