    Texas v. Johnson (1989) - this has already been decided.

      But it hasn’t been re-decided by the Freedom SCOTUS yet!

    It’s ironic that the people who care so deeply about Americans and American values that they want to show their disgust in the country in this way, and they are branded unpatriotic.

    Those who want to dismantle all the freedoms that are the bedrock of this country, who hate so many of the population for embracing those freedoms, are branded patriotic.

    Finally the government’s going to do something to crack down on all the blue lives matter / punisher/ Trump punisher /black and white only / the ones with bullets on them, also of course they’re going to make retailers stop putting it on clothing, right?

        If you draw american flags on the covers of the books they want to burn, do they still burn them to burn the book, or avoid doing so to not be burning a flag? 🤔

    Time to start an event at your local city. Just have to ask your city what the protocol is to have a first amendment burn activity for flags and effigies.
    If they tell you no, that’s a free legal payout.

    Ok but let’s stay strict to flag code.

    No more thin blue line. No more 4th of July napkins. Straight to jail.

    So what’s his plans for disposing a retired flag? Because we burn them. We should all get together and burn flags. On his property if possible.

    I just want to point out I’m that it is unlikely a Harris Presidency would have been this stupid, harmful, or embarrassing. We had a way to avoid this.

    Sounds like a good reason to burn some Trump flags instead
