(12,444 posts)Thinking about the US Capitol...Speaker Pelosi will do it but it may require a Senate approval too????....I seriously doubt Georgia will because Gov. Kemp is a true Asshole.

(20,136 posts)When McCain died they lowered the flag, but he had it raised the next day, before re-lowering it again after the outcry.

A proclamation was issued in his name. The image I saw is not signed. And yes, he is at Trump National DC which does indeed have a golf course. I worked several weddings there before the election.
