Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This pisses me off so much. Fucking states "we will lpwer them back down the next day" fuck you if raise might as well keep them up. You already shown you have no respect. Fuck every single politician that is even mentioning this should be done.
Nixion didn't even ask for this. Trump is such a fucking whiny bitch. I hope you chocks on goddamm hamburger.
To mourn the death of the country?
Republicans are worthless traitor filth.
Trump is a piss baby bitch. In reality it doesnt mean much if the flags are half or full. He just wants to shit on Jimmy Carter and get people to do something, anything for himself.
My guess is Trump hasn't been able to get a boner for 30 years but still wants to feel like he's at full mast for his inauguration.
Fly em at full mast, but replace every flagpole in sight with poles that are a quarter of the height of the original pole.
And shaped like a misfigured mushroom
“They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
I'm having trouble processing this amount of projection given the circumstances.
He's reaching for that because he doesn't understand a show of respect. He's never gotten nor given such a thing, it's alien to him.
The flag should be taken down completely that day
Start playing Swan Lake on every TV channel
I am going to buy a flag just so I can fly it at full staff when this orange turd goes to meet his maker.
Fly it half mast upside down until then
Nah just fly your state flag
Noo but didn't you learn anything from that right wing piece of shit in France that died? You're not supposed to celebrate people dying according to other politicians /s
You're not supposed to try and overthrow the government either, but I guess the times they are a changin'.
I'll buy fireworks
