Today is the beginning of the six-day funeral and celebration of the life of President Jimmy Carter. The President's casket left Plains, Georgia, this morning on a three-hour trip to The Carter Center in Atlanta. People will be able to pay their respects to him there until Tuesday, when he heads to Washington to lie in state.
To honor Carter, President Biden ordered flags on federal buildings to fly at half-staff for 30 days, a period that includes Inauguration Day and beyond. Benedict Donald has already made noises of displeasure about this. Because Trump is a sociopath and a liar, you never know whether to take his bleatings seriously. But there's no doubt in our minds that he would not only raise the flags at 12:01 PM on January 20, but later demand a weeks-long, months-long — or heck, even year-long — national memorial when he himself checks out.
In reality, he would probably need to be buried at sea, like Osama bin Laden, or shot into space, to keep people from defiling his grave. Maybe President Musk can help with that latter option. We cats PURR.
