The good thing about liberals is that their outrage is as short as their attention span.

ABC should be happy the WH isn't going to honor a man any longer than a day considering his racist past.

The flag at half mast should be reserved for the death of heros not 5th rate pilots who get captured

McCain the liberal hero. I wonder how he would have been treated had he died 3 years ago.

flags only fly half staff for members of Congress and Senate the day after their death.
Flags fly until burial for a Supreme Court associate justice, Cabinet members, former vice presidents, president pro tempore of the Senate, or the House and Senate majority or minority leaders.
Flags fly at half-staff for 30 days after the death of a president or former president, and 10 days after the death of a vice president, Supreme Court chief justice or retired chief justice, or speaker of the House of Representatives.

The amount of disrespect for McCain is insane...but the same people who are disrespecting McCain are the same ones that say the NFL players don't support and disrespect the military.

So hypocritical.

You would criticize him if he didn't do it by the book. It has nothing to do with McCain. I am withholding my thoughts on him as he is dead and that is that. Which Senators and Congressman are more equal than others and deserve more days?

According to Wiki:

quote:

On the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress


is when the flag should be lowered. Not rules, just traditional guidelines.

ETA Whoops, didn't see someone had already posted it.

What's weird is flags at other sites near the White House are still lowered. Guess they didn't get the memo.

Right?

Why would you want to honor a man that the congressional black caucus said was dividing America and taking us back to Jim Crow?

I remember the media reporting widely on it.

I agree, the board has nothing nice to say about McCain because he didn't go stride for stride with Trump. Now they dont want the flag at 1/2 staff till burial.

But Obama chew gum on an occasion and wore tan pants and this board was in a chernobly meltdown saying he wasn't presidential enough.

snowflakes need to step away from the computer and reflect.

Hey, it was John Lewis that called McCain a bigot.

We’re just repeating what your democrat congressman said.

People had problems with McCain before a year and a half ago.

My dislike of him goes back to 2000.

Your like of him began in January of 2017.
