So if it is 4D chess you're saying that Trump wants there to be civil unrest and riots?


With the federal troops/National Guard presence he's putting in place as we speak?

Yeah, I think that's a plausible theory.

Do I think it will have a positive result? We'll have to wait and see.

Do I like that it's happening (if, indeed, it is)? No.

Some of the stuff he's doing is not going to go well when the other side gains power and reciprocates.

I can't fathom a scenario where this could possibly be conceived as a good idea unless he actually wants an escalation. In which case it's a much worse idea than OP is dreaming up.

I don't either, but it does feel like Trump is deliberately provoking the left in any way he can.

So if things work out the way you're predicting and Trump is baiting people into rioting, how exactly is that a good thing? Wouldn't that make Trump a piece of shite?


Deflections like this are what makes democrats so disgusting to me. You know why he’s doing this and you’re pretending you don’t. I’m so glad this shite is getting called out after all these years of seeing your type get their way from whining and bitching.

Burn a disgusting LGBXYZ flag which actually stands for nothing but depravity and alternative reality, and get charged with a hate crime.

Agree or disagree?

Explain.

I’ve read a few Democratic Underground posts this morning suggesting they should take to public parks to burn flags in bbq pits and dare the authorities to arrest them.

TDS is the ultimate gift since they are so predictable.

Because a flag is a piece of fabric and as long as I own that fabric I can do whatever I want to it.


So any flag made from fabric can be burned, including the fig flags, right?

As long as it's your "fig flag"? Yes.

Read the last 2 lines of the EO

It specifically says burning the flag during a riot is a mandatory one year sentence.

If Pablo wants to burn the American flag in his backyard then that’s fine - the 1 year arrests only covers flag burning in a dangerous situation such as a riot

If Pablo wants to burn a flag he bought from KMart, it’s his flag.

I f Pablo knocks down the courthouse flagpole….it’s not his flag.

Now, what are the laws on open flame fires in the area? Lot of restrictions concerning Pablo and his plans.

Maybe a video of his flag being burned in his own living room at home.

Ridiculous on its face, and I hope this among many other EOs during the last 30 years finally force the supreme court to limit eo power.

Not if it’s your own flag. Anyone that’s been prosecuted for doing that was because they stole someone’s flag or stole a public flag.

Starting a fire in public is a crime, and it can be prosecuted as arson or another offense depending on the circumstances.

Was the fire on private or public property? Public places such as national parks, forests, and city streets are often subject to strict fire prohibitions.

I think it should be either or and if you burn a flag that doesn't belong to you the penalty should be rather harsh.

Let’s draft an unconstitutional EO, even though we took an oath before God to protect and uphold the constitution….you know, so we can rile up the base.

I voted for Trump 3x, but you people have lost your minds.
