As a mark of respect for the memory and longstanding service of Senator John Sidney McCain III, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, on the day of interment.
I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half‑staff for the same period at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.

Not for nothin’, but in 2004 the Dem Prez nominee was a Vietnam war hero who devoted the rest of his life to admirable public political service; the right viciously belittled, fabricated, and mocked all of it, including his Purple Heart.— David S. Bernstein (@dbernstein) August 26, 2018

my reading of it is that noted twitter failure dennis perrin wishes that at some point during 1971-1971, rob reiner, in his role as michael stivic on all in the family, should have turned to camera and delivered an impassioned speech in support of vietnam veteran john mccain so that he, noted twitter failure dennis perrin, would have been able to make a more informed decision about the artistic merit of the princess bride in light of its director's political views or some shit

not even twitter dot com itself, a notoriously profitless exercise since its inception, is a 'twitter success' so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
but even by any of the usual extremely pointless standards of twitter success (insight and/or wit packaged in a tight bon mot, viral appeal, number of interactions on any given post etc) dennis perrin is very bad at twitter and seems to use it primarily for hurling words straight into the sucking maw, rarely if ever to be commented upon before they disappear, never to be seen again
