        Desecrate like repainting it black with a single blue line?

            Does he know that the customary way to dispose of US flags is, in fact, by fire?

                      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.)

                              Pretty sure his "truth" avatar is a violation of the flag code.

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

                                        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.
