Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, breaking with the tradition of honoring the passing of a past President, has ordered that the flags in the state be raised to full mast for the inauguration of Donald Trump. The flags are currently at half-staff in memory of former President Jimmy Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at 100 years old. Ivey had ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff for 30 days on Dec. 30, as is standard practice when a president dies. In a news release, the governor said raising the flags for Inauguration Day is in accordance with federal law. She said flags will return to half-staff on Jan. 21 and remain so for the rest of the 30-day mourning period. As Redittor Joshd30 put it, “we have a new contender for the competition of which governor can tongue Trump’s asshole the deepest.“ You can read the full story below.
