I might even classify that well thought out retort as "brilliant"

Good analysis, NC. Thanks for that. So in effect Trump is challenging the illegality of being prosecuted for protesting via burning the ‘Trans Flag’. That is brilliant and forces the Supreme Court into a corner.

IMO it was the Trans stuff that cost the Dems the last election. Trump’s people know this and are using it for the Midterms. Again. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Progressive piles of shite are anti-constitutional.

Youre on their side here, evidently.

Funny thing, courts will block this EO, MAGA will melt down because they dont understand basic civics and our constitution.

You just phrased it differently

You acknowledged that it's a protected right. So what would removing that right do other than erode the power of the first amendment?

Is it constitutional to yell “fire” in a theater? No

Can I yell “fire” at home? Yes

Are you a retard? Yes

I agree. Trump is golding up the oval, putting in golf grass, cleaning up the shitholes the democrats created. Or is trying to...

It is unnerving and SEEMS petty, but Trump gonna Trump...

I think your gut notion is correct on Stephen Miller, he is so smart.

Eric Trump and Tulsi should win in 2028. Miller should get placed where he is suited best.

I'm actually leaning towards 4D chess this time. Two fold purpose - as stated above, the leftist mobs won't be able to help themselves. Secondly, it gets cut down as an infringement on protected speech... and takes down "hate crimes" of defacing the LGBTQPEDO flag with it.

All flag protections are gone at some point. Anyone that burned or rode their mean bikes on a pride flag are exonerated.

Goodbye protected class flags. Roe and same sex marriage licenses became set up political talking points.

This is a turnabout. The real intent are alphabet and virtue signaling flags. This actually eventually restores free speech.

I disagree. First of all, this needed to be done. Any idiot that burns the American flag shouldn't be allowed the privileges of being an American which we only enjoy because so many have sacrificed themselves to first gain these freedoms and secondly to protect them.
Secondly, with the energized American First momentum in America, now the Marxist Dems will have to stand up and defend the burning of Old Glory, which w will go over like a turd in a punch bowl.

Does a Presidential EO confer arrest power on local police jurisdictions?

This is insane spin.

Trump wants 600,000 Chinese students coming into the US every year and he wants to ban burning of the flag and many people around here are defending both actions. We’ve jumped the shark.

Sometimes I wonder wtf you idiots even think you're talking about. You can't deface someone else's property and claim that you have free speech protection.

I just explained it to you in elementary terms. Go read it yourself.

Trump not understanding the bill of rights

Congress shall make no law
-> respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
......... assuming flag burning is not your religion

-> or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;
......... you are entitled to speak your mind - not an audience

-> or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
......... what part of burning the flag in the street is peaceful?
......... what is the petition wrt burning the flag?
......... what is the grievance needing redress by burning the flag?

What these "protests" are doing is nothing more than illegal obstruction of other people's rights - demanding that someone else must make them happy.

I - along with millions of other citizens - have the right to pursue my own desires and pleasure and contentment without having idiots impede MY desires and contentment.

IF you have a Grievance - then present your arguments to the proper place in a manner that is conducive to debate over the pros and cons of your opinion within the exchange of pertinent facts.
BUT the bill of rights do NOT give you the right to inconvenience ME or to stop any of my LAWFUL activities, or create a mess that others have to clean up, or impede the PEACEFUL activities of other citizens.

Do I have the right to dump a month's worth of my neighborhoods' garbage in front of the treasury department and set it on fire while stopping traffic and impeding the progress of those trying to put out the fire all the while insulting you and and/or anyone else who may be objecting to my actions - all because I don't like the current projections for the economic trends??

Our founders wrote up a splendid Bill of Rights - intended for LOGICAL and MORAL people.

Sorry - but our bill of rights does not ensure that idiotic penchants for obstruction and commotion will go without resistance.

If you have a point - make an argument rather than a mess and an annoyance.
