  1. The law is clear: flags shall be flown at half-staff for thirty days after the death of a President.

    But, you know, fuck the law.
    Right?
    Fuck. The. Law.

  2. @godpod Flags were at half staff for President Nixon’s second inauguration, following the death of President Truman. Remember how Nixon’s second term ended? An omen for Trump’s second term, perhaps?

  3. I like that we’re flying our #flags at #HalfStaff to honor the #victims of a #MassShooting in the #US. That said, by my count there have been 73 mass shooting #deaths so far this month.

    At this rate we’re going to need to just leave them there until it becomes a bit more difficult for #AngryMen to acquire #guns to address their #insecurities.
