We need to lower it to half staff and leave it there.

Half Staff

Sounds demeaning ....

Seems like it’s been at half-staff most of the time for the last 8 years.

Actually, we need to fly it upside down!

I flew mine upside down for the first few weeks Ophonybama was POTUS, but eventually took it down because I was embarrassed to be an American.

I’ll erect my new tall flagpole and start flying my American flag the day that Donald Trump becomes POTUS!

The flag needs to be turned upside down to signal that we are in distress.

Seriously.

I am sick and tired of half-staff for every damn incident that ever happens here.

Also has become standard in our state. Any incident in MD - half-staff.

My God, do they never stop dishonoring our flag/country by this perpetual grief - IOW, weakness? We’re perpetually looking like we’re prostrate. Might as well dip it at the Olympics, too.

Another thing that started with 9/11 and just won’t let go.

I don’t fly it at all. Haven’t since the 0bamanation was elected. Maybe someday my country will be worthy of that flag again.

And the flags should be upside-down.

And turn it upside down...Trump can order it back to its rightful position when he is sworn in.
