To be fair - when trump dies, I will be flying extra flags at full mast, setting off fireworks, blasting joyful ska music, and throwing a massive kegger.
We already have a block party planned when he’s finally dead
"My funeral is going to be the best funeral of all time, hands down. There be fireworks, there will be parties all over this great nation. Even my enemies will be celebrating."

blasting joyful ska music
It's rare that the question "what's the perfect music for this situation" can be answered with "Ska. Emphatically, ska."
I associate ska with the craziest, and happiest, years of my life. I was broke but man did we have fun.
I know one guy who will definitely be at full mast
But that means JD Vance will be president.
trump will very likely live through the next four years. I will celebrate his demise no matter when it comes.
He'll be too busy fucking a futon to do anything
You mean when trump goes One Step Beyond
Yeah but is that really being fair? Trump and Carter have absolutely nothing in common beyond both holding the office.
Why is it every single Republican needs to be sure we all know what a gigantic shitstain they are?
Blakeman has not provided a reason
There's only one reason.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican
I call it an asshole competition. Basically a measurement contest to see who is the biggest. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would want to be in such a contest, but that's me.
The butthurt diaper babies are always all about the emoting.
They've all gone mask off.
Gotta love watching the last remaining vestiges of our Republic fall apart in real time.
It's not falling apart. It's being dismantled. Don't confuse the two.
Whoops, all facism.
What an asshole. Carter was a President, and flying flags at half mast is a honored tradition.
So is not electing felons, but here we are.
Felons used to drop out and (largely) hide from the press.
Now that one figured out he didn’t have to, and we’re gonna pay the price for not prosecuting that dipshit for decades.
Nassau County (and neighboring Suffolk County) have always been Nazi hell holes since LI was taken over by Robert Moses
They’re always so petty.
I personally think that the whole flag dance is dumb and in fact think that waving a flag in general is too nationalistic and culty, but if your a person that does participate in flag waving, you should follow the rules. It's a opt in situation, so it's nothing other than being shitty to not follow flag code.
Let me guess, though - if some lefty were to burn a flag, the same people not following the rules here would go apeshit.
I grew up in Nassau County. It (and the rest of Long Island) are way more conservative than you'd expect given the proximity to NYC. But that's not unusual in New York, most cities are staunchly blue, but the suburbs and rural areas red.
Is that why they were lowered? I though it was for the terrorist attack in New Orleans..
