If raising them to double staff is a thing, I'm in.

yes.

Hey, sorry to be this person. Truly. Flags were lowered to honor the victims of the church shooting in Minneapolis.

Thats not what this joke is about babes

🙋‍♀️

What can we do about the 24 hour news coverage about the nation in mourning? Group flash mobs to Celebration? Needs coordination and thought.

What do you bet he wants a full military funeral and burial at Arlington? I bet they'd give it to him.

For sure. Especially if “it” happens when he is already out of office, there will be a whole rush to make him some honored beloved figure that makes the normalization happening look like nothing.

Well, he WOULD be allowed to be buried at Arlington by virtue of his role as Commander in Chief of the US armed forces. It sucks, but them's the rules. However, it's not NEARLY ostentatious enough for that fucker's tastes, so with luck, he won't opt for it.

Drones (instead of fireworks). Drone operators will need to plan joyous displays.

I’m down for something involving “Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead,” too

So other than the "thoughts and prayers" hypocrisy aspect....what is your objection for the flags being at half mast for the shooting of children in Minnesota?

What did I miss?

Here's what I was thinking.

I want to go up to the roof of the Dept of Labor with a can of orange paint.

I’ll come darth

Or just put them as low as the ground 🤔

Oh my I haven’t heard but let me guess, they’re not at half mast because of school shootings.

MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Ooh!! Yes!!

🙋‍♂️

You have my axe!

😍🤣 Hey it’s free speech right? In my young and sassy days, I would have happily joined in. (Even tho i have no idea how to work a flagpole - - but i learn quick!) I hope somebody does it this weekend. ☮️🖖

I say we leave them there regardless of the situation. I’m considering it aspirational

Only if that includes installing even taller masts.

Add burning Trump and maga flags to that plan!

This was my first thought this morning

@darthbluesky.bsky.social I am going to start saving all my piss in jars for pouring onto his grave

😹

I’d gladly cross the border to lend a hand!

What am I missing? I’m hoping…

Sorry mate, can't hear you over the music, dancing and sex.

I'm pretty sure in the porn industry they call that job a fluffer. No thanks, not really my cup of tea.

"I ever want to see that flag up high I'm gonna have to cut the pole in half 'Cause most of the time, most of our lives It's been flying down at half mast" #JesseWelles Domestic Error youtu.be/0QVAbJfBqYU?...

I’m in

Reporting for duty. Send me the google form STAT.

They did it on Inauguration Day during Carter’s Remembrance. Fair game.

I’d pay to do it.

Why not just fly him from the top of the flagpole to celebrate? #MussoliniTreatment

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

I'm in!!!

Do you think you need to sneak?

We're gonna need some taller poles.

I don't know why this joke of a country ever raises them to full staff. The minute they go up kids are killed again or something even worse and they go right back down. 😡

Can we just cut the flag poles down completely instead? If so, I'm in.

Did I miss a rumor?

Let’s riiiiiideee

I'd help, but I plan to be absolutely shitfaced celebrating on mimosas. Might set something on fire if I get frisky!

darth can they go higher than full mast

bsky.app/profile/schi...

I’ve got Eugene today

any body have a couple of saws grant and i can borrow

Wouldn’t it be easier to just saw off the bottom of the offending poles 😂😂😂

well damn, now I wish I had a battery angle grinder instead of a corded one.

And a ladder?

No, but I do have a credit card and a helpful nature.

Happy to lend any and all of my saws.

Or add additional length (teehee) and raise the flags higher. Highest they've ever been, everyone's saying it. Canada can see this flag from their front door. Ask anyone.

I have two power saws - they do quick work

I have several hand saws, a hacksaw, a couple jig saws, a large and small band saw, a scroll saw, several circular saws, a Dremel, and a couple cats with very sharp teeth and claws. Let's do this!!

Would a Dremel be acceptable?

Alternatively, carry half-raised flags in festive parades.

They are lowered right now for the mass shooting the other day

@darthbluesky.bsky.social maybe the sight triggers something....

Now that's my kind of mischief

OMFG

While we’re up there can we add rainbow flags??

Very good. It’s best to have a proper plan ahead of the time.

Wait a minute… aren’t they already at half staff for some reason? We were driving past JBER (Joint Base Elemdorf-Richardson) on Thursday and the flag was at half staff. We couldn’t figure out why…????

The shooting in Minnesota. Most state governors ordered the flags lowered.

Makes sense, but that’s a military base. The Governor has nothing to do with it — and Dumbleavy sucks anyway. Were the flags lowered on all federal property?

The office of the president did order the flags lowered for the same reason, it probably just didn’t get top billing in the news. Maybe state governments didn’t wait for the federal order?

"Are we on, ok we are...in what has been described as a true American miracle, all American flags refuse to be anything but full mast after hearing the news" *red panda frantically dashing just off camera*

There'll be a queue 😀

Double Mast

This sounds like good trouble. ✊

I’m your huckleberry

Add another mast on top and raise it all the way

That would certainly be a moment to fly the flags high!

Gotta install a flag pole in my yard, just so I can proudly raise Old Glory to the top on that fateful day.

A whole lot of MAGA states are going to regret having lifted fireworks bans. 😀

Which flags? The American or russian ones?

bsky.app/profile/seen...

I volunteer!

Red Forman, standing by.

we could saw off the tops of the flag poles so that they're at full mast and also very small (to honor his fingers)

Could we make the flagpoles droop to half mast?

Mushroom poles?

I’m in. Can we put mushroom tops on them?

😹

Count me in!! If he "lies in state" we need to protest loudly.

Totally down.

NO!!!! You're Jill. I'm jack let's stay away from the hill. /s

You’re right and I’m definitely staying away from the hill.

And who is bringing the fireworks?

It's 1:30 a.m. here. I really gotta get some sleep, y'all.

I can't walk and breathe at the same time but, I've got wheels and can hold the flashlight!

The flags are down to honor the victims--regarding of who ordered them half mast. 💙

Any body want to help me plan dance parties on every block?

#pedopotus

Trying to devise a way to make flags double mast

Aye

i’ll be busy dancing in the street

I think this is actually important.

No. If it happens fine, however, it is merely the tripping over the start. A start that we need not meme but realize. A start that tells us, we need to get f**king ruthless and not embrace another toothless Dem muthaf**ka. When that happens? I might flip a flag to a righteous bag.

1.5x mast, Darth. Get some drones out there if we have to.

‘Full Mast’ will be an accurate description for me when that day finally arrives, so sure I’ll help spread the love

I'm in. Plus, turn them upside down.

this is my calling.

👍

The cackling from my face when I read this was unbecoming of a perimenopausal cat lady

Oh and yeah I’d love to help out 💯💯💯💯

Suddenly, getting the National Guard in DC to do some bullshit jobs and make them hate him feels prescient.

Raise them by 1500%.

😆

I’m in.

I plead ignorant…aren’t they lowered for the school shooting bictims? What am I missing!?

We are making plans for the celebration of the #BigBeautifulObituary

My guess is the hypocrisy of it all. The love of guns over children. Fake mourning when this administration LOVES VIOLENCE! But I am speculating.

I wonder if McDonald’s is going to fly theirs at half mast

This tl slays. I am SLAIN.

TWICE MAST!

I can bring snacks.

I anticipate scenes such as this in the UK, darth (and as a US expat living here for 14 yrs, I might Morris Dance for the first time).

I'll pay

I have another gofundme, if anyone is so inclined 😂 bsky.app/profile/chic...

All this talk is getting my hopes up

I think you win the interwebz today.

I'm in. Also, I will be a, uh, foot soldier in Operation Yellow Torrent, as well.

I'm in.

Um did I miss something big??

Me & 85% of my fellow San Franciscans are at your service

I'll start working on them in Oakland

All the celebrations mentionned in this thread should start now, while he can still witness them and realise how much he is despised. It would also be a funny "hey I'm not dead. thank you for your attention to..." tweet, to which the world replies you are to us cheetos bitch

What is the plan for letting the rest of us know? We will be asleep and would like to be woken with the news please. Would sirens and phone alerts suffice?

Hasn't anyone noticed other countries build statues or other architecture + beautiful things to honor their country. America doesn't build anything. Erecting flag poles to fly Trump & American flags have cheapened America. Flags must now be on pickup trucks. OMG what other country does this?

Well, it does advertise who to shun...😉

There will probably be an increase in airplane accidents because they'll be flying into them. Haven't you noticed every house has to fly several? No other countries in the world fly excess flags. What is it proving? Gone are the days when we have beauty in design in buildings! It's tacky now.

A+, this slaps.

🙋😁👍

Only about half of the flags we’ve seen are lowered. The rest are raised up as normal. It’s telling.

Like a ferret up a trouser leg

They're not for him, but I agree, when it is, I wanna add party balloons. Rainbow streamers. Celebratory music

Omg yes! I couldn't agree more. (Maybe we should all start picking up stock in Party City stores 🤔)

Que pasó

Count me in

Me: For the Love of God don't! My OCD: It's staff. Half-staff on land. Half mast is on a ship.

Or EXTRA mast.

dutifully flipping my upside-down flag right-side up

I feel like red pandas would be really good at this

also sithlords, they can use the force and such

darth we need to find a way to extend the flags so they're above full mast.

A pig stick will do that nicely for you, used for extending flags above the masthead

Can we just top all the flagpoles with tiny mushrooms?

Planning on putting up extra flags, tbh.

Upside down until it happens.

On the day it finally happens I am hanging my flag back up.

darth I will bring you potats

Party City is really wishing they hadn't gone out of business right now

Turn the flags upside down while you’re at it.

Anytime.

Hell yes! I’ll round up a New York contingent.

🙌🙌👍

🖐

I’m in

I have a feeling that most flagpoles will be so excited, they won't be able to do anything except be at full mast. Which I hear becomes a problem after 4 hours...

Stop giving me false hope, I'm barely clinging to any earnest idea of improving the world :-p

I'd opt for no mast.

They should be turned upside down.

Already thought about doing this at my work if this day ever comes

I thought we were trying to burn all the flags what happened?!

Potato finials plz

It would be fucking baller if a state government just, didn't.

I feel like @governor.ca.gov might be open to this 🤞

I'm not sure he'll be able to fit it in between doing photoshoots of destroying homeless encampments or platforming fascists on his podcast, but maybe!

Put the American flag at full mast and add a Russian flag at half mast.

Kept that champagne on ice 🤞

I wonder how much time we would get for that? Same as burning a flag?

✋😎

i’m going to make them double mast

I actually think we should pass a law that keeps them @ half staff until meaningful actions are taken and the deaths from school shootings retreat

I’m going to add some extra mast to all the masts while I’m at it, just so it’s flying at fuller mast than ever before.

Me and my crew out there like

I am soooo in.

It's the perfect time for us to finally uncover the Double Mast feature of flags
