Do you honestly believe that? Before you answer, think about how many moves that he has made this go round that have been challenged in court by Democrats, and found to be Constitutional.

This man understands the Constitution better than the entire Democratic Party combined.

Most of the country would like to see this as illegal. I understand the “free speech” aspect of it. You can say whatever you want, but there may be consequences. Why not the same with burning our flag?

The OP is correct- this is yet ANOTHER trap to make the Dems defend the wrong side of a 90-10 issue.

No. But according to your hypothesis Trump is eroding first amendment rights in order to incite political violence. And you call this "brilliant"
You need to stop saying this. It’s not even true. OP even went as far to mention what they’d be rioting over and it had nothing to do with this EO.

He did not say or insinuate that Trump’s goal is to spark political violence with an EO.

It should be legal to burn all flags....not that I want to burn the American flag nor do I like seeing it. But when we put special restrictions on burning a pride flag and charge people with a hate crime then do nothing when the US flag is burned that seems to fly in the face of the idea of free speech that people defend burning the American flag.

Just stop with the "not understanding" bullshite.

ANY POTUS (even Potatobrain) is surrounded by advisors who understand issues. So even if the POTUS did not initially understand, he's exposed to the viewpoint.

The Bill of Rights should afford the same protections to individuals burning the "Pride" flag as those burning the US flag. Is that what we've seen in reality? Nope! The former has been charged as hate speech.

If one cannot legally burn a "Pride" flag, then one cannot burn the US flag. Simple really. As long as there is a differential there is a question. Trump is pushing the question.

Remember when Johnny Cash said he understands you can burn the flag, but he has the 2nd amendment?

This is you choosing to be ignorant and not reading the EO.

You in the first post of this thread:

Anyone with any walking around sense understands that flag burning in most legal instances is protected by the 1st Amendment

You said it without realizing you said it

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?


How did you feel when pallets of bricks were dropped off pre-riot? Did you think Biden/Dems were pieces of shite? My guess is no because you support that shite.

Wanting them arrested, protesting them. Give them no reaction, they have no power.

Its the same retarded shite Dems do with the 2a. Try to criminalize protected activity.
