I do love that the White House is required to keep the flags at half mast for thirty days- right through Trump’s inauguration.

Man are those pictures going to be poignant.

is required

What happens if they don't? Cause if a convicted felon doesn't go to jail for rape and fraud, guess what, the flag ain't gonna stop that POS.

Yeah, at this point I'd say rules have been pretty effectively tossed out the window.

Friendly reminder that in less than a month a felon rapist who incited an insurrection against our government and illegally attempted to overturn an election will be our leader and the most influential figure on the planet.

I'm not going to say America is done for in the next 4 years, but if this is where we're at, the downfall is inevitable on a long enough timeline.
