Isn’t ceremonial burning the preferred method for disposing of old tattered flags? ---

I think it is. But such a ceremonial burning would be done by a true American Patriot™, and any other kind of burning, say in protest, would be done by a Marxist Communist. ---

> [@smithsb](#): > > This is great news. Peak grifting of his supporters (if they have any money left that is). “Just trust me and all take care of all your money problems”. So Trump was “orange-pilled”. Of course. Or did he orange the pill? Previously Trump disparaged bitcoin as a scam. Of course he now is starting his own platform. Trump says he wants to rival the banks, because some people have trouble getting loans from them. Yes, criminals, fraudsters, people with a history of defaulting… > [@](#): > > Donald Trump vowed to restrict the First Amendment’s protections for flag-burning days after being endorsed as an anti-censorship candidate by RFK Jr. Bwa ha ha! Fools and idiots make great partners for each other. And you were worried Kennedy’s supporters would follow his endorsement. We’ll, maybe. I mean, they were dumb enough to be supporting Kennedy. What’s really depressing? He might be able to convince a couple of SC Justices to rule in his favor in the event that he ever tried. ---
