You noticed that too? I distinctly remember asking aloud “why are our flags a half-staff THIS time?”
Should have been flown upside down.
cnn got a whole lot of mileage out of McCcain, seems he was on evry other day disagreeing with the party he was supposed to be a member of. I was always of the opinion he was a dem planted in the Republican party cause disruption and provide intel.
There should be a hologram at 5000:1 size projected of McCain’s face over the White House at night for a month. Right? I mean, he tried to run for President while stepping aside for someone with mocha skin and all.
Obama ordered our flags lowered way too much which is why I called him our Half-Mast President.
That’s what I was thinking
When Clinton dies, will flags be flown at bent staff?
Yes. The only thing missing from his funeral will be Jane Fonda firing his ashes from an anti-aircraft gun at the planes in the flyover.
According to protocol, on the death of a member of Congress flags are flown at half-staff on that day and the day after so the White House is following the standards. Anything more or less should require a Presidential Proclamation to that effect.
McCain did whatever he could to advance the Bush Plan for North Mexico.
Traitors do not deserve all this pomp and ceremony.
To quote the Wookkiee, “All this for a f’ing flag ?”
Fox news ain’t what it used to be.
***************
Fox News has been deteriorating for several years running. Its not much more than tabloid journalism now. And sympatico with liberal views.
Fox Business is still pretty good.
They are looking for something to criticize Trump on. They know that he didn’t get along with McCain, and are using every opportunity to stir up the controversy.
This will be all over TV until the burial, then 24, 48 hrs afterwards, then 1 month, then 1 year, then 6 years, until Trump is out of office.
Ditto that.
And, as is the case with the rest of the media, I disregard most of what I do see and hear on FNC.
FBN is nominally better.
obama did whatever the heck he wanted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ineligible usurpers have no need to follow the Constitution that says he can’t be President.
Seems like the White House did the exact correct thing per federal law.
Gee, wonder if Trump knows something about McCain that the enemedia doesn’t know and/or has spiked...
The MSM is glorifying McCain only as a platform to slander Trump by pointing out every five minutes that the now deified statesman McCain, who has now attained Apotheosis, was highly critical of Trump.
