Trump never gave McCain an ounce of credit for the enormous military bill just passed in which had his name on it. Trump tried to take all the credit for it.
Such a totally disgusting human.

Still better that Killary IMHO.

Killery is not acting POTUS, a fact that many conservatives forget. Makes a huuuge difference in legal terms. Or just having an honorable bone in your body.
Trump doesn't deserve to lick John McCains boots.

Then what other choice did we have? Bernie? LOL

Yeah, that was very embarrassing for those of us who support his ideas.

I looked up the info and found it was correct to raise the flag.......... correct by Eisenhower's "proclamation" anyway.
https://abc7news.com/politics/flags-at-half-staff-what-are-the-guidelines/4067918/
Here are all of the guidelines about how long to leave flags at half-staff, set out in Eisenhower's proclamation.

• President or former president's death: 30 days
  
• Vice president, the chief justice or a retired chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, or the speaker of the House of Representatives: 10 days
  
• Associate justice of the Supreme Court, a member of the Cabinet, a former vice president, the president pro tempore of the Senate, the majority leader of the Senate, the minority leader of the Senate, the majority leader of the House of Representatives, or the minority leader of the House of Representatives: Death until interment
  
• United States senator, representative, territorial delegate, or the resident commissioner from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico: On the day of death and the day after
  
• The governor of a state, territory or possession: Day of death until interment

This link also said:
"The decision early Sunday morning to raise the flag broke from the precedent of lowering the flags for significant national officials from their death until burial as a show of respect, ABC News reports."

So I'm guessing there are traditions on this sort of thing and the Eisenhower's proclamation isn't usually followed?
I've never paid attention to this sort of thing. Are all Senators and Representatives held to the till burial tradition, or is it a once in a while thing?

Trump refused to let the White House flags be lowered to half staff for McCain. What a petty little man.

I read they were lowered but then raised........... a lot of difference.

 

[Nick]

He was forced to lower it by the out cry of the people , even his staff told him to do it ..

Then what other choice did we have? Bernie? LOL

Anyone but trump..

Forced or coerced, big difference between the two.

That is so sad. I traveled California a good bit in 1976 and it was beautiful and clean and felt safe. I would not go to a main city in California now. California has so much if used in reason, but it was overdone, and now being overrun. So sad.

Sounds like you want to be removed from my inner circle ..

 

[Nick]

California is a beautiful state ..
