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

            I am looking forward to the day when all MAGA merch will be burned - it will be as glorious as the burning and destruction of Swastikas and Nazi flags in Germany and Europe in 1945.

                  Desecrate like repainting it black with a single blue line?

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

                                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'
