Yes this Is America,

Eric Smith

Flag should have been put at half last July when Brandon declared..."we beat Medicare"

Max DeYoung

One day at half staff is more than enough for Carter. This is just another one of Biden's political stunts that embarrasses our nation.

Kevin Blount

This is not a Biden thing, this is a USA thing. We do this for all former Presidents. Also, this HAS happened before, regardless of what Trump might say.

No, we should honor our past president that has passed like we have done countless many other times.

Because President Jimmy Carter deserves more respect than felon tRump.

Linda Swiney

Mike Kehoe should be ashamed of himself. This is blatant partisanship. Flag protocol has nothing to do with Donald Trump's ego.

David Hernandez

One day president-elect trump will be honored with the same lowering of the U.S. flag at half staff. Should proper flag etiquette be out the window for him? I say NO.

Deborah Greene

NO. NO. NO. FLAGS ARE TO FLY AT HALF-STAFF WHEN A PRESIDENT DIES FOR 30 DAYS!! The rules need to be followed. Shane on Kehoe that he has ordered this. It shows how far up trumps butt he plans to be…we are all in so much trouble.

Casey Cannon

Putting the flag at full staff would violate flag protocol. Trump needs to learn the meaning of respect.

Kevin Blount

Absolutely not. All former presidents are afforded the respect of half-staff flags when they pass. This had NOTHING to do with Trump. He needs to stop whining.

Kevin Blount

Mike Kehoe should be ashamed of himself.

Kelly Branstetter

Out of respect for the former President!

Sports betting app companies now control all professional sports outcomes.

Trump is still your President

The referees are determining the winners. The NFL has become a giant money laundering system. There is nothing there for me anymore, but I have a lot more time with my lovely wife, and our friends.

Democrats want to lower taxes for low-income people and increase taxes on the rich.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Max

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Fred

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Fred

This data is from 12 years ago, but it is only WORSE now. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-inequality-top-01-worth-as-much-as-the-bottom-90

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Fred

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Fred

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

JIC CoMo

I say fire every Politian. I have not seen one yet that knows what they are doing. They are only for themself and not for the people of the State.

Toasty

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

Fred

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
