Jimmy Carter was everything that sorry orange waste of space is not: decent, intelligent, beneficent, learned, honest, humble, hardworking, unselfish, admired, loved, accomplished, respected. I suspect that trump is envious of Jimmy, and his pettiness just cannot be contained. Typically his narcissism completely obliterates any impulse of propriety. What an absolutely sorry excuse for a person. Fuck trump.
My suggestion? Tune in to any station NOT showing it, in order to tank ratings further (we all know how he obsesses over ratings), then check it out on any space that will post it. You know it'll be posted everywhere. Then you can have the pleasure of seeing donOld in front of half staff flags without helping his ratings. Smite!
You are braver than me - I will drive by some public buildings in town to see the flags lowered. Don't want to drive up the watch ratings of the inauguration - plus I don't like vomiting so there's that.
The best POTUS of my lifetime (I'm 74) stuck it to "the donald" with the immaculate timing of his death. You rock, Jimmie. Thanks to the man who made some really tough decisions that not everybody liked and some that went wrong and cost him a second term, delivering us the blasted Reaganomics that screwed up my family's life. Much love to the Carter family.
When Trump claimed flying the flag at half-staff was the Dems “making it about them,” my head exploded. Talk about total lack of self-awareness!! Trump doesn’t know how to do anything besides making everything about himself! Now that Thy smiting arm is all warmed up…..
We should fly the Jolly Roger throughout ConOld's despotic reign, as all he's doing is fleecing the country better than any Somalian pirate ship could manage on the high seas. Plus he's surrounded by those irritatingly noisy parrots, the GOP.
Such a great idea!! I have a flag holder that I have never used. I will be on the lookout for a Jolly Roger or maybe some other flag that makes a "statement" about the event.
I'm pretty certain Jimmy Carter didn't ACTUALLY time his death to provide Donald Trump the maximum humiliation of having flags at "half-staff" (he must think "half-mast" is a nickname for impotence) during his Inauguration.
Good God--and take that both as an outcry and an epithet. Beelzebubba has been associated with a lot of filth, but to diss another president, particularly one who was his opposite in so many ways--God help us all, and that's both an outcry and a plea to You.
So there were no other presidents who died in office where the flags were at half staff when the next president was sworn in right? (Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding, FDR, Kennedy). It ONLY HApPENS to the orange monster. Poor baby.
ANd the truth really hurts with those comics. Good on her for quitting. SHe'll get picked up by someone with thicker skin.
What will bring me out of my Grand Funk will be the seeing the huge crowds amassing to celebrate the very GOOD life of President Jimmy Carter and that they far and away eclipse Dungfly Trump's EVIL satanic worshipping [inauguration] spectacle. I hope his Secret Service detail brings adequate adult diapers because he's gonna piss himself....snarly, nasty baby that he is.
Jimmy thought it over and said to himself, yep it's a good day to die. To the end always doing the right thing.

I will henceforth refer to your mighty acronym when describing the orange POS. He will be dubbed SOWS. Sorry orange waste of space. I love it.
Happy to contribute 😇
That's kinda cruel to female pigs, though...
Sorry orange waste of space!! priceless
His next inauguration promises to be even emptier than the first one #SMITE!
Thank you, God, for smiting thine enemies. I may watch the inauguration after all just to see the lowered flags.

We are not turning the TV on at all. It’s also MLK day, and a good day to honor Dr King.
I like your idea! And, like Gigi I will not be watching any TV at all that day.
You are braver than me - I will drive by some public buildings in town to see the flags lowered. Don't want to drive up the watch ratings of the inauguration - plus I don't like vomiting so there's that.
Well, if Donnie is so upset about these half staff flags, tell him how happy everyone is going to be when they're at half staff for HIM!
Your lips to God's ears. Oh, that's where it went!

Me too!!
I will be canceling my WaPo sub today and giving that money to Ann instead. I've been teetering for a while, but this is the last straw.

But I would love to think that he did! 🤣 🤣 🤣
It is with a heavy heart that I report, Donald Trump is still alive.
I confess that I check every morning. Twice on Sunday.

If anyone else is interested, Amazon has several of Ann Telnaes' books.
Here’s a couple links to independent online book sellers;

Even better! Thanks. One is on back order at Bookshop and all three are sold out at ThriftBooks. Great news for her.
Hmm … Amazon … Bezos … hmmm. (Was that on purpose? 😉)
Not intentionally, no, but it does mean I put Telnaes' through an Amazon search. :)

What’s the opposite of lowering flags half staff? We should do that when this shitheel dies.
