Isn’t burning the American flag protected by the 1st amendment?

Try to burn the gay flag and see they charge you with a hate crime.

Yeah I’m not gonna try my luck lmfao

Trump's going full Dictatard.

Supposedly. But also, the constitution is gay and has never worked as intended, anyway

Definitely agree with that

Still is. The Executive Order in question just directs the DOJ to enforce other laws if they are being broken in conjunction with desecrating the flag - which is already the DOJ's job whether there is a flag involved or not.

In other words, this E.O. is just Trump intentionally being provocative (or pandering - depending on your perspective) without actually saying anything of substance. (shocker, I know.)

PS. Provocative headlines that ultimately don't directly link to the original source material are probably best to just not take seriously.

Just introduce martial law or something... It will cover all possible scams.
