    "You should get a one-year jail sentence if you do anything to desecrate the American flag,” Trump said in 2024 during an interview on Fox & Friends

    Oh, nice. That covers anyone who leaves a flag out at night without a lamp shining on it. Or anyone flying a flag that has any tattered pieces.

      I remember learning about the Constitution in school. What a fascinating piece of history it was.

        Flag code is an advisory for proper handling of the flag. That's it. Flag code was never meant to supersede the Constitution.

        That he would use executive orders to push such totalitarian things isn't surprising, but it shouldn't get far before it's challenged by the Supreme Court.

        Unless the Court has been bought. Let's see how this plays out. Weird way to stimulate the economy by getting people to buy flags (made in China) to burn in protest.

          Flag burners shall be punished to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW!

          (There is no punishment proscribed for violations of the flag code.)

              watch some nutjobs in robes rule flag burning to be a 'hate crime' against white male morons, or a 'threat' against the 'president'

                  I'm normally not a flag burner but this makes me want to burn one even more.

                    This is the most desecrating thing that can be done to a flag. Molested by Trump.

                      Next step indeed will be where it is a severe offense if one desecrates the image of Trump, creator king of the new USA.

                      Thailand is to be the example in this matter.

                        Free speech in USA my ass.
                        Americans that claim they have superior free speech because their media are allowed to lie are idiots.

                        You are allowed to lie, it's the truth that is being oppressed.

                          Sexually assaulted by Trump, but he thinks he is allowed to because he is rich.

                            According to the Flag Code, the proper disposal method is to burn it.

                            Every day we get embarrassed as a country by this dipshit in new and profound ways.

                              If the flag touches the ground, or becomes torn, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to burn it.

                                Not sure about the US, but what I was taught here in Norway during my time in the army is that the colors are to be separated by cutting the seams so that it is no longer a flag. Then you burn the individual colors. I imagine separating the colors would be a PITA with a US flag.

                                      I'm going to start posting videos of myself (suitably masked and with metadata expunged) burning Confederate flags and pictures of Trump.

                                          https://www.vfw.org/media-and-events/latest-releases/archives/2024/1/retiring-old-glory

                                          Here are the proper procedures for flag disposal, according to VFW:

                                          The flag should be folded in its customary manner.
                                          The fire must be large and intense enough to ensure the complete burning of the flag.
                                          Place the flag on the fire.
                                          Individuals may come to attention, salute the flag, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and have a brief period of silent reflection.
                                          After the flag is consumed, the fire should be extinguished and then the ashes buried.
                                          Make sure you are conforming to local and state fire codes or ordinances.
