Summary
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, has not lowered flags to half-staff at county buildings following former President Jimmy Carter’s death, despite President Biden’s federal order for a 30-day observance.
Blakeman has not provided a reason, drawing criticism from Democratic officials, including legislator Seth Koslow, who called the decision partisan and disrespectful.
Carter, who died at 100 on December 29, will lie in state January 7-9 before a state funeral on January 9.
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.”

I got two bottles of champagne at home, I got them both from work, and don’t really drink champagne, but one is marked Putin and the other is marked Trump.
I will toast the day they die with their respective bottle.
Man the Kissinger bottle must have aged really well
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.
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

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.
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.
