      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.

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

          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.

                      How about if you molest it with your greasy cheeto fingers for a photo op?

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

                              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.

                                My son and I were involved with boy scouts for a time. They did separate the colors for retired flags and yes it did take a while.

                                      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.

                                        The proper way to dispose of a US flag is to use it to wipe up cat vomit and then throw it in the garbage. A flag is just a piece of cloth. It's what it represents, the values and ideals behind it, that are important. Obsession with the cloth itself is just a secular form of idolotry. You're treating a flag as some sort of sacred object. Nah, I say deliberately harm and disrespect the flag. If we really are a nation that cares about freedoms, we should deliberately put very little emphasis and reference to symbols like this. Hell, if we really want to celebrate freedom, we should disrespect our flag whenever possible. We should all be using American flag toilet paper. Do this just to show that we're supposed to remember the ideals the flag stands for, not care for the cloth itself.

                                          There are a bunch of rules around the flag that nobody follows.
