President Jimmy Carter did US one last solid- he died on a date which would cause vexation for Trump
Flags flying half staff over the inauguration of a president who’s half assed
Poetic justice
Symbolic of the final death of the myth of American Exceptionalism. It was always a country founded on the worst instincts of men. It has just lost its fake veneer, finally. Trump perfectly embodies its origins. Violence, rape, theft, greed, ignorance and bigotry.
No, American exceptionalism still exists, but it became complacent, failed to remain vigilante on the premises it couldn't happen here. We were wrong, but by the time this over our exceptionalism will be beyond compare. Trump perfectly embodies the origins of human nature, not the origins of U.S.
True, but the US has largely held on to the exceptionalism myth. People there are the same as anywhere, of course. I’m British, believe me, I know how long this nonsense takes to resolve; our exceptionalist diehards just destroyed our country through Brexit with this delusion!
Then they weren't the exceptionalist then, were they? Instead, they were the aberrations of the exceptionalist, and an anomaly at best. True, many know the word exceptionalism and say it often, but only few actually understand what exceptionalism requires to exist.
They win by persuading people white people are superior to black and brown people (the essence of the Brexit campaign). White supremacy is a part of rw exceptionalism.
There is nothing exceptional about being a supremist. The only exception is in their delusions of grandeur. Delusion can intoxicate even the non-supremist and spreads like a viral infection. They all regret it when the fever is gone and ask themselves, "What have I done?", too late.
Trump is already spinning this half mast against Dems. He says we are reveling in the fact that Flag is lowered during his innauguration. This catastrophe will take anything and make himself a victim.
There are three good reasons to fly the flag at half-staff on 1/20: to show respect for #JimmyCarter, to show respect for #MLK, and to show disrespect for #Trump.
Has anyone seen this?
Trump has such a massive ego he's threatened by a flag flying at half mast out of respect for President Jimmy Carter's passing.
What a baby douchebag turd.🤨
Carter was a peacemaker. A love your neighbor kind a guy and helped thy neighbor. Tfg spreads hate, divisive and ego centric. Carter deserves the RESPECT.
On that day I plan to hang my own American flag upside down, and it will remain that way until tRump is out of office, or he shuffles off his mortal coil.
I hope Trump doesn't lower them shortly after noon. He's that petty. Pres. Carter deserves this respect and we deserve to mourn. Maybe we should fly it like the Alitos did.
He claims to be a Christian so he should be ticked at God for not waiting till February to recall Carter, not Democrats and liberal. Seems his proclaimed God wanted the flag to fly at half-staff during his inauguration. Does he challenge the acts of his God too? Is his God truly a Democrat?
I don't give a rat's ass about the orange turd. I do care that Jimmy Carter is properly memorialized. I will honor Jimmy by not watching even a second of the upcoming inauguration
For sure President James Earl Carter, Jr's spirit will be weeping with the rest of US. FREUDIAN SUGGESTION??
But let's turn the focus back to "half mast" to honor and recognize the service of our longest living American President.
Let’s not use President Carter’s passing as a stick it to💩. He deserves way better. I will not watch 💩 second attempt to rip up the constitution and get rid of democracy. I will view flags at half mast with the respect deserving of a truly wonderful man. Please join me.
I’ve decided to spend that day giving back to my community to honor the memory of President Carter and Martin Luther King Jr. Seems like a better way to spend a day than watching a convicted felon get sworn in.
And that idea is why trump is being so vocal about the flags being flown at halfmast. He may be an idiot but I'm pretty sure he gets that millions of us are not only mourning Jimmy Carter but are mourning the death of democracy, decency and the rule of law because of him.
For Jan. 20th, I'm absolutely hoping for the shittiest, coldest, icy, rainy, bone-chilling, pneumonia-type weather in the History of Washington, DC! 🥶 Have fun with that.
Thanks for the recommendation. Zealots have been causing discord and wars for thousands of years. They’re driving us rapidly toward anarchy and chaos. Let’s resist.
The irony of it all. As a devil is elevated by greedy monsters to the highest office in the land. We bury one of the most honorable and moral leaders of our times. It's like the passing of the torch from good to evil.
Yes, it did, closer to about 47 years, and they were so arrogant they didn't think anyone, or groups of anyones were watching. I think surprises are in store for that 1%'s dream of bigger estates to leave their heirs. Their heirs may find themselves penniless and homeless for the crimes of fathers.
Traitor trump was never, is not going to be, and will never be, my President. Damn anyone who disagrees with me.✊🇺🇸TO ARMS MY FELLOW AMERICANS✊🇺🇸TO ARMS. We must preserve and protect our DEMOCRACY✊🇺🇸
Convicted and sentenced - for all those snowflakes who suggested (ridiculously) he wasn't convicted cos he wasn't sentenced.
Well he will be - yep has the 'honour' of being the first convicted and sentenced felon to enter the WH!
It's not the fact that he's a convicted felon that bothered me. Nelson Mandela was convicted.
It's the number of things for which he should have been convicted and has not (yet?) been convicted. It's the fact that he is simply a terrible human being.
Nelson Mandela was convicted simply for being Nelson Mandela, there is not even a causal similarity between the two except both were committed of crimes, and only one of them actually committed crimes against everyone.
Well... Mandela fought for decades against the state, took money for weapons, had guerilla war training, co-founded the MK -generally recognised as the party's armed wing - & admitted sabotage. Let's not pretend he didn't commit any crimes. One man's freedom fighter, etc.
if you deny felons the chance to seek office then all the ruling party has to do is declare its opponents felons on whatever Trumped-up charges and tame judges they can think of.
So, your position is even felons need a break, even if they are found guilty in a court of law by a jury of their peers? Would you hire a felon to secure your family and home? A felon that was guilty of armed breaking and entering? The South African government at the time was legally "illegal".
My position was that a) Mandela was not convicted just because he was Mandela and b) if felons are banned from seeking office then it's child's play for a dictator to convict their opponents on Trumped-up charges and thus remain in power unopposed.
Maga’s are losing their shit on Twitter over this. They all copied Trump’s idiocy with “half-mast”. I had a bit of fun with them and posted this in my replies.
He is throwing an absolute temper tantrum. Would love to say- don’t let the coffin door hit your head if you and up having a heart attack from your bulging anger- 😡🤮🤬🍊🐣💩
I'm sure it's not actually to mourn the incoming criminal presidency, but it is a good effort to dissuade another riot by reminding the country of a loss of a great president. Both former and outgoing.
Hyperperbole? Look at how angry
he is about Carter being dead and
the flags being at half staff. Caligula
became so annoyed with the gigantic
statue of Jupiter that he ordered it's
head lopped off and replaced with
his own likeness.
And the Billionaire will marry their horse and swap wives if he tells them to so. Yes, Trump and his cadre are the American Caligula. Where's the Praetorian Guard when you need them?
Yes, we are. We are on our own but let us not become so cynical nihilist as to not recognizing the ally's we have within the system. This has been going on for nearly 50 years. It's been a slow-moving coup, and people are just starting to wake up. It will be interesting. The interested know.
They will have won the election and lost the war losing forever their invitation to join a new world order. As a matter of fact, all those previous invitations have been revoked, and they have more to contend with then they ever imagined. It wasn't their "monkey" that got out of their cage.

Thank you for your service
Viva Jimmy Carter

When treasonous trump dies soon hopefully, the flag will NOT be flown at half-staff, it will be flown upside down! Ask Samuel Alito!
On Trump's epitaph, it will be written on an unmarked grave "LOSER!"
WE CANNOT LET HIM DO IT!
But let's turn the focus back to "half mast" to honor and recognize the service of our longest living American President.

But my point was that
I cannot believe he's going back in, I just can't.
In fact prolly no soul.

How is this ANY different?
The Ds are talking about the next election- which isn't a way to react to an existential threat, is it?
D leadership isn't threatened. Not by impending fascism. Not by "losing" elections...
We are on our own.
We are simpatico.
As higher cadres favor the many devils we all know.
No denying where I sit.
They must cotent with YOU.
They must content with US.
Yes..I really pity them. But I
pity their victims more.
But I digress.
We are in mourning for getting a felon for president. Thank you, President Carter!
almost unimaginable.
