As much as I hate burning of the flag, again I say, it is protected speech.  Was decided in Supreme Court in '89. If POTUS gets his way on this, it would have to make it to SCOTUS once challenged (which it would be).  If they refuse to hear it based on "the precedent stands", we're back to square one. But again, my beef here is more of a freedom issue. Part of believing in what the bill of rights actually stands for is that those rights also extend to those you despise.  In other words, if you're really for free speech, then you're inherently for the right of people to make speech that you disagree with. Otherwise, you're no different than ANTIFA. "You can't say it because I don't like it" is the same reasoning they use to shut down people's free speech. I don't even like what I'm saying here, and you don't have to like it.  But I say it because it's TRUE. This could also be a slippery slope.  What if I decide that I'd like to burn a Mexican flag someday or an Islamic flag? Do you really want some future president (God forbid) passing a law telling me I can't? THINK, people.  Fucking THINK. I have to assume that POTUS is doing this for the red-meat base to keep them energized and pissed.  So I get it. I just think there are a million other things we should start putting people away for which are more important than some basement dwelling AnTIFA faggot burning a flag. FFS, why not put them in jail for, I dunno, being terrorist pieces of shit?  Beating people?  Destroying property?  Naa, we don't care about that shit for some odd reason. And aga  539b  in, VOTER FRAUD?  HELLO?    Nothing even happens to these fags when they commit voter fraud, which is really an act of fucking treasonous war if you think about it. My most fundamental right that either supports or undermines all the others is my sacred right to vote and not have it nullified by some sort of fuckery.  The vote is the one thing that separates us from having a bloody revolution every 4 years.  And do you really believe that men died for a piece of cloth?  No.  They died for the rights that the piece of cloth represents.  Your right to vote and actually have that vote count being chief among ALL of them. Once that's nullified, all the other rights are nullified automatically by proxy. So, therefore, in my opinion, stopping THAT matters more than anything else. Again I say, I want to see him tweet "death penalty for voter fraud."
