Link to video? 

You've yet to provide any information about said video.



Won't even bother linking the video bc I already know what will happen.

You'll see Trump agreeing that is acceptable to burn the flag..... Then you'll twist yourself into a pretzel saying how it is perfectly fine to burn the flag but it is disrespectful to kneel during the anthem

I suspect the ppl in this thread who are suggesting it is ok to burn the flag have already seen the video and are already in spin mode.

Both are disrespectful as they are meant to be by the practitioners. Neither become first amendment issues until the government steps in to prevent them from occurring. 


Thanks.The right showed absolutely no outrage when Trump says burning the flag is acceptable under freedom of expression.

We both agree that if Obama said the same exact thing, the right would absolutely be outraged, right?

I for one will only acknowledge you were right... However, like I said, I've only seen the fake tweet.

What year did Trump make this statement and why would the right display outrage? We understand the constitution.

No, because like Trump, obama would have be correct in making that statement.

There are any number of displays of protest I find deplorable but are tolerated under our system of free expression of opinion.

I love the ability to hold mutually exclusive ideas in one's mind at the same time. It smells like... victory.

Took me all of 30 seconds to find the video of him agreeing " 100 percent" that it's acceptable. Trump is very malleable so he did seem somewhat unsure ,but went along.

They love their links here. Until you give it to them.

GOP before 11/8/2016: WE HAVE THE BEST DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD. IN FACT, IT IS SO GREAT, WE'RE GOING TO SPREAD IT ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST!

GOP after 11/8/2016: DEMOCRACY?!? WHAT DEMOCRACY? WE DON'T HAVE A FCKING DEMOCRACY. WE'RE PROUD OF OUR VOTING SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS A CANDIDATE TO "WIN" EVEN IF THE CANDIDATE RECEIVES 50 MILLION LESS VOTES THAN THEIR OPPONENT!

So two of nerds are going to say there is a video and not link it?

I would imagine if you had a "gotcha" video, you would have plastered the whole 1st page with it.

But I've been wrong before.

Once.

Just 2 years ago, Trump agreed that burning the American flag is acceptable because of freedom of speech.

How can an athlete kneeling during an anthem can cause you to be so outraged.... But then show zero outrage at the person who thinks burning the flag is ok?



Realizing that burning the flag iss constitutional is not the same as condoning the action.
