Summary
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, has not lowered flags to half-staff at county buildings following former President Jimmy Carter’s death, despite President Biden’s federal order for a 30-day observance.
Blakeman has not provided a reason, drawing criticism from Democratic officials, including legislator Seth Koslow, who called the decision partisan and disrespectful.
Carter, who died at 100 on December 29, will lie in state January 7-9 before a state funeral on January 9.
To be fair - when trump dies, I will be flying extra flags at full mast, setting off fireworks, blasting joyful ska music, and throwing a massive kegger.
We already have a block party planned when he’s finally dead
“My funeral is going to be the best funeral of all time, hands down. There be fireworks, there will be parties all over this great nation. Even my enemies will be celebrating.”

I got two bottles of champagne at home, I got them both from work, and don’t really drink champagne, but one is marked Putin and the other is marked Trump.
I will toast the day they die with their respective bottle.
Man the Kissinger bottle must have aged really well
I actually went to the bar and ordered a Crown and Coke in respect to my Cambodian buddies the day that fuck died.
I didn’t think to drink champagne at the time, but I did have a good rum and fanta
It’s rare that the question “what’s the perfect music for this situation” can be answered with “Ska. Emphatically, ska.”
I associate ska with the craziest, and happiest, years of my life. I was broke but man did we have fun.
I know one guy who will definitely be at full mast
But that means JD Vance will be president.
trump will very likely live through the next four years. I will celebrate his demise no matter when it comes.
He’ll be too busy fucking a futon to do anything
You mean when trump goes One Step Beyond
Yeah but is that really being fair? Trump and Carter have absolutely nothing in common beyond both holding the office.
