Trump mandates flag burners face prosecution in one of biggest challenges to the First Amendment in decades
-
I thought I remembered a supreme court decision in the past that ruled specifically in favor of protecting flag burning, not that anything established matters anymore. Yay fucking fascism.
edit: looked it up and this was indeed a ruling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._Johnson
It's actually written into the fucking flag code that it is how you properly dispose of a flag that is no longer serviceable. He going to prosecute our military?

Yeah, that's unconstitutional.

Flag burners shall be punished to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW!
(There is no punishment proscribed for violations of the flag code.)
The fullest extent of the law on this issue is famously not at all, though mild harassment by cops is permitted as they don't need to know the law

This is the most desecrating thing that can be done to a flag. Molested by Trump.
I'm shocked. The flag seems far too old for him

In the words of Propaghandi:
Cuz if this country is so goddam free,
Then I can burn your fucking flag wherever I damn well please.
And then I'm gonna stick it up your fucking ass -
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 the individual pieces no longer constitute a flag. Then you burn the individual colors. I imagine separating the colors would be a PITA with a US flag.
We do the same, but the way you remove the stars from the blue rectangle is by shooting each one with a 12 gauge shotgun.

All he does is signal to his base. That’s all this is. Just like his bullshit taking over democratic cities. He doesn’t stand for anything but tax cuts to billionaires or anything the rich want. The rest is just to keep his rabid followers thinking he’s “owning the libs.” It’s straight garbage.

Take it a step further, burn Confederate flags.

Actually, reading this makes it seem that all those AI pictures of Trump as a super hero are federally illegal if there's a rendering of the U.S. flag on them. hmmmmmmmmmm
This is a "code", not the law.

Actually it is law, it just isn't generally enforced since it's federal and not state/local law.
The United States Code is a consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. It is prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the United States House of Representatives.
