Trump wants to ban flag burning

Y’all beat me to it, but this.

More like 1968.

Bingo.

I remember when this debate was raging 30 years ago. Attempted distraction, anybody?

Don’t give 2020 more ideas :eek:, adding a war and shooting leaders is not good.

You haven’t been paying attention, everything he is saying now, he has said the opposite in the past. My choice of examples was very deliberate.

Hey speaking of walls, how’s that one that Mexico is going to pay for coming along?

Coming from a patriotic and military family I detest the idea of burning our nations flag. I personally find it abhorrent and disgraceful.

That said, as protected speech, I would vote against such a law. It is a slippery slope to do ANYTHING to damage our right to free speech regardless of my personal feelings on the matter*.

*plus Trump is an a-hole :slight_smile:

Another shiny coin over here!

Non-issue.

To be ignored.

Nevermind the issue of property rights. If I burn the flag at the post office, I’m going to jail. As well I should. But if I own the flag, what then? Are conservatives really going to tell me I cant?

1984

We still have a war over in Afghanistan although as your post demonstrates it’s largely forgotten. Which must suck for the guys still over there fighting.

I’m OK with skipping the political assassinations. I feel a global pandemic more than makes up for that lack.

Also, isn’t there supposed to be an asteroid fly-by today? This weekend? Let’s hope it stays a fly-BY and not a fly-AT.

Now he is going on about the flag? He seems to have bailed out of any sort of action on the current plague.

This.
