One postal worker told me it was really embarrassing for them: "In small towns when you lower the flag people want to know why and use it as a signal to lower their own. It put us all in a bad position to explain why we would be putting our flags back up"

A USDA employee who sent out the order to lower the flag, and then sent out the cancellation notice, got such backlash from employees that she had to email again to clarify it wasn’t her making the decision.

The federal workers I talked to said they couldn’t remember anything like this happening. Usually, flag lowering is standard. You are told a start and end date. That’s it. Nothing like the drama yesterday.

Gawd, Trump is all over the place. Respect the flag, no wait - don't respect the flag. Its really not about the flag anyway, its about control and power. "Do as I say, not as I do...."

The water park we were staying across from in Lincoln, NH over the weekend knew to fly it at half mast. I think fed govt could have figured it out too.

The flag is lowered so often, so indiscriminately, and so haphazardly, that its meaning has been lost. That's a far bigger deal than some supposed "drama".
