Anonymous Coward User ID: 77970727 United States 10/22/2019 09:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm trying to figure out why the American flags I saw were at half staff today. All I can see is that Jimmy Carter fell and broke a hip again. Kinda jumping the gun a bit, aren't they? Quoting: FissionSurplus It's not a half staff day. Hmmmm... [link to halfstaff.org] Carter needs to die fast--if RBG is going out I'm gonna lose my dead pool...I picked Carter when papa bush popped his clogs. |

However, as far as I know, he's very much alive....hence my confusion about the half mast flags I saw on the way home from work. Just a thought...somebody's jumping the gun on this deal. |
