Why is Abbott ignoring the U.S. flag code? Why are MAGAs constantly ignorant of US laws?

We’ve talked about your propensity to go full Tiberius. Fight it, kid. It’s a HORRIBLE look.

Another meaningless quip instead of a rebuttal. I’m beginning to think you simply don’t have the mental capacity to form a real argument. Prove me wrong!

Today’s topic - flag poles. Keep the outrage going but don’t burn yourself out. HE hasn’t even taken office yet.

I triple dog dare you to address the point. 

I am unable to work up any outrage over it. Nixon once raised the flags early in celebration only to lower them after.
Set aside your faux outrage for a moment and consider:

 

The U.S. flag code lays out parameters for lowering the U.S. flag to half-staff, including a 30-day period for current or former presidents to cover flags at federal government buildings and their grounds, as well as at U.S. embassies and other facilities abroad, including military installations and vessels.

 

Is it your belief that Abbott is in violation of something? Seems like you are railing about flag code without really knowing what the flag code says. How embarrassing.
 

That a young progressive would gleefully ignore immigration law only to get his/her panties twisted over flag code is good comedy.

My understanding is that the directive applies to federal buildings, military bases etc.  Is it a violation of federal law to raise flags on state land, or private property?

 

I have a flag pole at my office building and acknowledge being a bit dense on the actual rules.  I fly it at night, , still need a light to illuminate.  I likely would have lowered to half mast had the cheap 🤬🤬🤬 line not frayed and broken the second time in 6 mos and I’m not flying anything right now.  The community probably thinks I’m heartbroken over Carter. 
 

Finally—my thoughts are as follows:

 

1. The 30 day rule is fine but probably excessive.  Life is for the living and extended mourning is bleh;

 

2. Shutting the government down for a day so federal employees can “mourn” is pretty silly.  In the case of an assassination, accident or tragic death, maybe. But for a guy who lived a good, long, full life— a day off for shopping or Netflix is silly. 


3. Even if the 30 day declaration is made, flags should be raised for the inauguration of a new president, signifying the choice made by all Americans, the dawn of a new era and promise for the future.

Well that makes it completely okay to be a disrespectful piece of garbage then!

Are you embarrassed about not knowing the flag code but being hysterical about it anyway? You should be.

I find it appalling that Abbott can't have the common respect to observe a period of mourning.

Earlier it was about the law and the code. You’ve now arrived at a different place. You should look up what Nixon did and see if it causes you similar upset. Unlikely, as all this is faux outrage from the start. 
 

If Texas lowers the flag again on Jan 21 will that still leave you in a tiff? It’s a possibility you know. Maybe even a likelihood.
