GOP Rep Cory Mills asked Speaker Mike Johnson to raise the flags during Trump’s inauguration instead of having them lowered to honor the life of Jimmy Carter.

Let’s be clear: there’s a significant effort behind the scenes encouraging others to complain about those flags so he gets his way. We all know who’s behind this. Those flags better not be raised within the next thirty days. True Americans have drawn a line.
No, but it is the singular celebration of a new President for a day, which I think should overrule a month of mourning for another President. I don't like Trump at all, but I think that is reasonable.
You make a good point, but Inauguration Day is the high point of a President's administration. Extend the mourning period by a day if needed, but he should have celebration on that day.
No. He will have his little party and can do so without disrespecting Carter.
Of course, that's assuming he CAN get through one single day of his worthless life without offending someone somewhere in some way. Perhaps a ball gag would help.
No. Mourning can go on even while something else might be getting celebrated. It's not unheard of. This isn't something new, either.
There is not one single reason for the flag to be raised. There is only a petulant demand from a senile felon for whom nothing will ever be enough.
You make a good point. But I still think they should extend the mourning by a day, and celebrate on Trump's Inauguration Day, which is the high point of an administration. But I get the arguments in either direction. It is uncharted waters.
Flags were flown half-staff when Nixon was inaugurated. There is NO REASON apart from Melon Felon's whining that the flag being flown half-staff for Carter needs to be raised on THAT day.
The Trump administration has no respect for the flag code...just look at the American flag with Trump plastered on it. It is deeply anti-American and coming from people who try to pretend they are patriots while putting a politician above the rules and norms of our country.
I have a feeling that someone on that occasion will propose that an official "Day of Dancing Upon the Grave" will be filed, though the option to urinate will be tabled, for decorum's sake, for future consideration... take care...
If the status of the American flags flying over our nation's Capitol are to be changed to acknowledge the Orange Felon's return to power, the only appropriate adjustment is to fly them upside-down.
Guess what Mr Cory Mills, President Carter was elected by the will of the people in 1976. He deserves for the flag to be at half staff the full 30 days. Not just on the days you choose. I and millions of other people believe this. We honor our previous leaders!!!🇱🇷
NO! Flying our flags at half- staff is a national tradition that we hold dear when we lose a President! We MUST keep that tradition alive !!! Trump must just accept it…. like it or not!
77.75 Million Voters Voted Against FelonTrump, Which Means He Still Failed To Achieve A Majority Vote By 0.8 Million People. That's Including The Election Fraud For Buying Votes Through Proxy Elon Musk, Which Is Still Facing Criminal Investigations In 5 States.
As this inauguration represents the impending death of America, not only should flags still be at half staff, but upside down. January 20th should be recognized as a day of extreme danger and mourning for our nation deserving of an overt warning to our citizens.
Bullshit!! The flags at half staff are honoring a true gentleman, an honorable man, a veteran, and a former rightfully elected president. All things that trump is not, and never has been.
If they do that, it will be a huge insult to a former President. Of course, when tRump goes, no flags will be lowered and there will be non-stop dancing in the streets!!! Here's to that day...
Oh, hell no! This Felon can’t hold a candle to President Carter. This Felon incited an insurrection. We should have the flag lowered to grieve the loss of a great human being, and grieve the installation of an authoritarian mob boss.
If the flag is raised for this inauguration, you can bet it won't be lowered again. Cult Leader doesn't have any respect for anybody, he couldn't give a shit about Carter's death. We all saw that at the cathedral.
If it IS raised on the 20th, I will fly one upside down for the next 4 years.
We don’t care about your feelings Mills. The flag stays at half mast for 30 days per law and tradition after a President passes away. No exceptions for you. It is a Month of mourning
Half staff on land. Half mast at sea. A hand is placed over the heart when a flag draped coffin passes. A flag shall be briskly raised and solemnly lowered. He knows none of these things. He desecrates the flag with his image and name. How dare they want this for him!
No, “most Americans “ would not prefer the flags to be raised to full staff. I so wish people, especially politicians, would be more exact in their use of language. Mills should have said that the Americans who voted for Trump would prefer…
Ffs, we honor our deceased presidents, period. There have been several inaugurations with the flags at half staff. The cheeto will just have to suck it up. God, what a humongous baby.
Not all the American people agree with this. Honor the laws and traditions of respecting our past president Jimmy Carter it’s disrespectful and the flag being half mass or a full mass or whatever mass has nothing to do with the orange guy getting back in to the peoples house to destroy our country.
I support raising the flags for this… providing they are returned to half-mast immediately following the inauguration and kept there for the next four years to mourn the death of Democracy in America.
We all need to contact Speaker Mike Johnson and demand that flags remain at half staff on the Inauguration Day just like they did before on Nixon’s Inauguration
Interesting for another reason, as Trump was not the choice of the majority of Americans or even of voters. He received less than 50% of the votes. So what the f*^k is this guy talking about?

these people dont understand, or respect anything about the country they claim to love...
they certainly seem to hate the people here
Nixon was inaugurated with flags half staff due to Truman's death.
Of course, that's assuming he CAN get through one single day of his worthless life without offending someone somewhere in some way. Perhaps a ball gag would help.
There is not one single reason for the flag to be raised. There is only a petulant demand from a senile felon for whom nothing will ever be enough.

It can wait until AFTER he's sworn in.
NO
NO
HE WON BY LESS THAN 2%.
WE WANT CARTER HONORED IN DEATH AS HE SERVED US SO HONORABLY IN LIFE.
THAT CANNOT BE SAID OF TRUMP.
CONGRESS — DO THE RIGHT THING.
YOU WOULD WANT THAT FOR YOURSELF.
No respect for a real and great President Jimmy Carter.
ME ME ME ME ME
Fuck the felon. Carter deserves an uninterrupted 30 days half-staff to honor him.
WTF!
PS: "undisputable" is not a word, Mills.
And another embarrassment.
Of having the first convicted felon President?
GOP really are a disgusting bunch!
If it were ANY other person newly elected, THEY would have RESPECTED the honoring & remembrance due to a beautiful human. President Jimmy Carter
But, no. Their boss is an ass‼️
If it IS raised on the 20th, I will fly one upside down for the next 4 years.
And Cory Mills is an a**hole.

You are more worried about appearance than showing respect
Someday Trump will die and his funeral will be a party 🎉
If they do this, we’ll ensure flags are not lowered for trump when his time comes
