The United States flags shoud be flown at half-staff effective immediately until sunset on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, in honor of the life and legacy of President Jimmy Carter, who passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia
I agree. One day is more than enough, but Biden declared that flags should be flown at half-mast for most of the month of January. If I were Trump, the absolutely first thing I would do is put an end to that EO and require that flags be returned to full mast.
That's a (edit: guideline, not law and are not enforceable - my sincere apologies!) - U.S. Code (4 U.S.C. § 7m), stating:
By order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possession, as a mark of respect to their memory.
The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the President or a former President;
Note the word "shall," not "should." Should means "you are recommended to do it but you don't have to." (i.e. a suggestion). "Shall" is more like a command.
So, not much Biden can do as soon as he gave the order. What if he didn't give the order? Then something is up.
You wonder if it was the Cabal's hand who deliberately announced Jimmy Carter's death within the month of Trump's inaguration. Hospice for years, cancer way over its due, dead at 98 at one point in time?
According to the United States Flag Code, specifically 4 U.S. Code § 6 and § 7, the flag is to be displayed at full staff on certain designated days, including Inauguration Day, unless there is a specific proclamation by the President or another authority to lower it to half-staff due to a national tragedy or mourning.
So again it would have to be Biden to proclaim it.
30 days though 🤷♀️
I’m sorry, but the four years that Carter was in office he didn’t do anything to deserve a flag to be at half mass for 30 days. Nothing.
Also, I have another idea. When we take back the Panama Canal, should we put the flag at half mast for the day? 😂😂
No - I don’t need to brush up on presidential protocols. At any point of time in the day, these are all meaningless to me. Until, a question is brought up and you can get an answer right here at GAW. No studying required.
Regarding the canal - yes I know that Trump wants to take it back. That’s why I made a joke about flying the flag at half mast when Trump acquires the Panama Canal.
As soon as Jimmy Carter died I posted about they're going to use the flag code to have the flag at half mast for Trump's inauguration for the photo ops and optics.
They want that shit on the cover of every magazine and newspaper and plastered all over the internet.
And it will provoke exactly nothing. Our flag should have been flown upside down for the last 4 years. The big improvement will be its right side up again.
Maybe it should be half mast and upside down for a country that is already under siege because of the things that Carter and Biden did to try to destroy America!
"Since flag code is not federal law, Trump could, in theory, order flags to be raised for his inauguration. A spokesperson for the president-elect did not respond to a Post email Monday inquiring whether there was any discussion within the Trump camp of ordering flags raised for the occasion."
Let it be the democrat party's final act of spite against America, and decency. They can mourn the death of their vile, rotten, America hating party. And, let the history books show that imagery as a reminder to future generations for why that loathsome [democrat] party needed to be destroyed without remorse, nor mercy.
Doesn't it make you wonder, on this page, that there are so many ready and willing to abandon our law and traditions for the sake of political vengeance?
Evidence for either claim against him? I did not vote for Carter and I did not like him during his presidency, but you can't confuse stupid policy with either satanism or treason. That you do, makes this stance very political indeed.
The flag can be at half staff until the beginning of the inauguration ceremonies. All they need do is put the raising and the lowering of the flag into the ceremonies. This acknowledges the mourning of a deceased former President and then raise the flag for the inauguration of President Trump. Then at the close of the daytime activities return the flag to half staff.
The only reason to fly the flag at half mast is to honor the greatest Patriots the world has ever known! Nothing to do with Carter, but about those who gave it all to achieve the Greatest Victory in human history! Future will prove past!
Publish the actual date of death for President Carter, then change the half mast period. Lrt it fly full ad beautiful on inauguration day! Maybe the law needs to be amended for such cases like inaugurations. Wikipedia published his date of death as 2023 until deep state decided to push it out this week.
I was wondering if his flag was wrinkled at his funeral?, can someone tells me. Oh I saw at Seed to table half mast, this guy Alfi will not do it, why did he though?
The potential symbolism of half staff to full staff the moment Trump is sworn in.
I likey.
The flag should never be lowered for a traitor like Carter.. he sold out the USA.
I won't lower mine. I'm the only one in the neighborhood flying it high.
mines still upside down,wont change it till Jan20th 12.01pm
Gotta build a lot more Habitat for Humanity homes to make up for the damage done by that knucklehead.
Should be lowered for the demise of "Our Democracy" . Many where tricked and died for it's crimes since 1913. .
The Celebration of our Republic 2.0 will come a little later.
It should be flying upside down!
True this shit show is "flying upside down" for now. Righting it is the goal , without ripping the wings off AND Keeping the nose out of the dirt.
But Trump and team are not in distress only those who have lost control , as planned.
I did not half mast my flag for carter, nor will I for bush, clinton or obama.

What movie is that from? I don't normally like Bollywood but I want to try this one out.
Looks like Bajirao Mastani.
I haven’t seen it.
Thanks
I don’t understand why would it be at half mast? What does Jimmy Carter have to do with anything?
u/#topkek
But why? Just because he died. Isn’t one day good enough?
I agree. One day is more than enough, but Biden declared that flags should be flown at half-mast for most of the month of January. If I were Trump, the absolutely first thing I would do is put an end to that EO and require that flags be returned to full mast.
Oh, so it’s no big deal that was only Biden. 😂 He has no power here
That's a (edit: guideline, not law and are not enforceable - my sincere apologies!) - U.S. Code (4 U.S.C. § 7m), stating:
Note the word "shall," not "should." Should means "you are recommended to do it but you don't have to." (i.e. a suggestion). "Shall" is more like a command.

Yes, they plan this. Carter’s been dead for a while.
According to the United States Flag Code, specifically 4 U.S. Code § 6 and § 7, the flag is to be displayed at full staff on certain designated days, including Inauguration Day, unless there is a specific proclamation by the President or another authority to lower it to half-staff due to a national tragedy or mourning.
So again it would have to be Biden to proclaim it.
Can a civilian be fined or jailed for not complying? Wtf.
Tradition my fren. He get's his honors. Despite having been a cretin
30 days though 🤷♀️ I’m sorry, but the four years that Carter was in office he didn’t do anything to deserve a flag to be at half mass for 30 days. Nothing.

kek you and I are on the same page.
It's mast not mass.
If you are an American and asking this question, better brush up on
Presidential protocol.
Panama canal has been in the news all week re: what he sold it for.
Mass - Mast = Siri ugh 🤦♀️
No - I don’t need to brush up on presidential protocols. At any point of time in the day, these are all meaningless to me. Until, a question is brought up and you can get an answer right here at GAW. No studying required.

I think the flag should be hugged at the inauguration.
I would love to see that!
As soon as Jimmy Carter died I posted about they're going to use the flag code to have the flag at half mast for Trump's inauguration for the photo ops and optics.

Yes sir president Trump sir, let's see how it plays out. All of it. What a ride...I can't wait to love how this movie ends! 🐸
Let's see what happens o7

When is the funeral?? It’s a long time to keep a corpse in waiting.
Jimmy has been on ice for quite some time. Another week won’t hinder anything.
1/9
Raise it for Trump, lower it after. The dead cant care.
Let it be the democrat party's final act of spite against America, and decency. They can mourn the death of their vile, rotten, America hating party. And, let the history books show that imagery as a reminder to future generations for why that loathsome [democrat] party needed to be destroyed without remorse, nor mercy.
How is it an act of spite? It’s tradition. Not everything is an evil deed.
Add the Christian flag to the array. Let her fly high and mighty above them all.
At least we can turn it right side up again.
The law is to fly it at half mast for 30 days. When Trump passes, he will be honored in the same way. Silly to oppose.
Doesn't it make you wonder, on this page, that there are so many ready and willing to abandon our law and traditions for the sake of political vengeance?
It's not political. Carter is an enemy of the people. I will not honor satanic traitors.

Flags out
Only appears between 25th to the 28th of March 2019

We won't know about the flag till the funeral
Didn’t happen yet?
correct
Maybe Melania sewed a new flag and they’ll lower it fully and raise the one that has MAGA on it with “DEMS ARE BELATCHES” as stripes.
