House Speaker says Capitol flags will fly at full staff on Inauguration Day!?

[HisArpy]

HisArpy is having a bad year this week.

Yes, yes, we know, you think you're smart.

Sucks to be you and so disillusioned about reality.

 

[Rotadom]

Wait! Didn't I just say I believed you?

Yes, . You don't believe in facts which is all I present. Therefore, you don't believe me. Critical thinking isn't your thing.

Yes, yes, we know, you think you're smart.

Sucks to be you and so disillusioned about reality.

You're getting hammered, , by someone you don't believe to be smart.

Sucks to be you, .

 

[HisArpy]

Yes, . You don't believe in facts which is all I present. Therefore, you don't believe me. Critical thinking isn't your thing.

Are you ok?

Asking because I LITERALLY just said I believed you.

You're getting hammered, , by someone you don't believe to be smart.

Sucks to be you, .

You're not smart. Dogged I'll grant, but for someone who believes they're smart you keep failing to understand how fucking stupid it is to argue on the internet.

Which kind of undermines your whole "I'm smarter than you" thing.

But you do you. I don't mind making you look foolish day after day, post after post.

Being smarter than you doesn't make me smart. That's not a tall order.

 

[HisArpy]

Being smarter than you doesn't make me smart. That's not a tall order.

See, there you go admitting you're not as smart as you claim you are.

Gotta be the dumbest thing you've said so far.

 

[contrifan32]

You don't believe me because facts are your kryptonite.

You still reading comic books?

 

[Rotadom]

You still reading comic books?

I never have although I do enjoy some superhero movies.

You had a point, I'm sure.

The President has no constitutional authority over the Speaker or the Congress which is a separate and equal branch of government. The Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader control what happens on Capitol Hill, not the President. You need to further your education in this matter.

This was a respected premise until Trump came into office. It is no longer three separate but equal branches of government, even the SC has bent the knee. It is a felon in charge now, and the rule is that 'dicktator' mentality. If it isn't to his liking, he finds ways of beating you with political leverage, such as the now popular expression, "You get in line or 'get primaried.'"

 

[eric_erosfan]

My flag will fly upside down for the next 4 years.

 

[Lance_Castro]

We are witnessing the end of American Exceptionalism, and the concurrent rise of a Fascist Republic.

Or you are witnessing Change, Mister Progress.

Lol

 

[RobDownSouth]

Interesting. False, but interesting because it shows the world that whatever is going on inside your head, it's nowhere near reality.

Of course your response is going to be that a public law isn't false, but that's not what I'm talking about. So spare us the diatribe of misdirection and fake testament on all things rubbery.

Here's a thought: Maybe if you spent less time trying to fabricate fault where there is none, you might be able to shake off the stupid you continually find yourself subjected to by your own self.

The above shitpost shows a clear example of the turmoil roiling around inside Derpy's brain.

On one hand, he cannot come out and say that a clear and unambiguous quotation of the law in question is not valid, because even as delusional as Derpy is, he knows that we'll all laugh at him if he tries to go there.

But.....on the other hand, he cannot possibly allow me to have the last word on any subject, particularly the law. He's "alpha as fuck", you know, which means he gets the last word in always. ALWAYS!

His flawed solution: Just claim whatever RobDownSouth posts is "false". Don't give any explanation or reasoning as to WHY it is "false", just make the claim. Sprinkle in a little ad hom at the end and voilà (often referred to as "Wall uh!" in Ishmael-speak) he's made his refudiation and he maintains his "alpha as fuck" status.

It's amazing how easily he will debase himself in order to argue with people he doesn't like. It's as childish as Bobo and even less effective. The way they deny and deflect when hammered with facts is something else.

The “something else” is insanity.

Flags were flown at half-staff during the inauguration of President Richard Nixon's second term, as protocol dictated, since President Harry Truman had died weeks before the inauguration.

It was a simpler time back then though, even factoring in things like Vietnam and Watergate.

Republicans respected the flag and what it stood for, back in the day.

Today, it's nothing more than a political prop to them.

"Gut optiks uber alles", dontcha know.

The fringe loonies on the right are reduced to chattering about "but...but..in a MONARCHY...!"

The only reason there's a flap over it now is that Trump is an egomaniac who won't let dead Carter share the spotlight on his big day.

Theodore Roosevelt -- whose own daughter said he wanted to be "the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral" -- was a model of self-effacing humility by comparison.

 

[icanhelp1]

Oh my. According to you, disrespecting the flag and tradition because other Nations, some of which happen to be monarchies, do it is perfectly okay?

Because why again?

Yup, as predicted the Left swings towards screaming that a statute isn't "false."

This is just plain wrong. Disrespectful, unethical and Republican. F***ing morons. The protocol is set. It doesn't take a 5th grader to note that a criminal felon is frustrated and throwing a hissy-fit. Flag decorum should be sacrosant. It isn't political. It's the flag and it has its history and expected rites. Veterans unite. The oligarchs are in control and the idiots in congress should be sent packing with their pacydermata leader. Flag etiquette does not allow for the Speaker of the House to change the order of the Commander in Chief, especially not an incoming CiC who has no standing prior to the inauguration.

The protocol is not clear when both fall on the same day. Biden could adjust his order if he wanted to. Inauguration day is only one day and is a day of celebration and is also mandated by public law for the flag to be at full mast.. Raising the flag for this occasion is not a dishonor to Carter. This bellyaching by democrats is full on TDS on steroids.

Shut Da Fuck Up. TRAITOR!

Lemme, like almost every member who interacts with you, show ONCE AGAIN why you’re considered a dumbfuk, treasonous, partisan hack.

Riddle me this: How many times can a president have an inauguration. And then answer how many times a president can have a funeral.

The SC just ruled against Trump. WTF??

By not letting you disrespect one of the Country's most beloved human beings? Eff off, traitor!

 

[Tigersman]

But what about the Popular Vote? Doesn't that tell you that your BS isn't based on numbers but your own TDS driven hateful fee fees?

The only person or persons with TDS are the MAGA cult followers aka RINO who have been brain washed by Trump's constant ranting and raving. When you mention the poplar vote just remember Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 but Trump received more Electorial votes so he won.

Yeah, I guess, but 3 million illegals voted that year explaining easily the disparity.
Thankfully, that issue resolved itself and was not a factor at all in the 2024 election. The 11 million so called illegals who trump claims are here and that he threatened to round up and deport on a daily basis during the campaign, obviously, didn’t care to vote this past year in their urgent self interests. Lazy ass migrants! Amirite?

Half a Century ago, a 30 Day Presidential Mourning Period was probably about right.

Things move faster now.

Most Americans were done mourning Jimmy Carter a week after he announced he was dying over a year ago.

Enough.
Lol

Hahaha! I like peanut butter on my pancakes. Americans are done with Canadian maple syrup.

We need our own hockey league or better yet kick all the Canadian teams out the NHL. The Stanley Cup is ours.

You have the thought patterns of 5 year old child.
