(264 posts)12. The flag needs to respected. But I know that the "person" in the photo could care less.

Is this at white house or Mar a Lago? They let the flag touch the ground. If he fell there's no one to assist him either

The photo says White House. Mar a Largo is in southern FLA so would not be wearing a heavy overcoat.

The fact the new flag polls are indeed 88 feet should have sent alarm bells off in the media

No matter how pissed off I have been at our government since I was young I never would have allowed that.
