"Perhaps most insidiously, Trump suggested that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should deport any immigrant who dares to burn the US flag — a legal exercise of the right to expressive speech which is protected by the Constitution." — @lizdye.bsky.social
trump is an ignorant bully.
How about charging him for defacing the flag by writing his name on it with his crayon.
So now every kid that burns a flag is in danger of getting deported yet adults that get caught with guns or drunk driving that would've killed someone run free
Deport trump and his entire family to Somalia.
I think I’ll burn a flag today in the convicted felon’s treasonous honor. I’ll read the Bill of Rights while I do it.
Piss on a poster of him as it burns.
I gonna burn my flag right now.
I'm hoping Trump will sign an EO that prohibits immigrants from having sex with underage teens (as in statutory rape). It appears to be ok for the citizens of this country (and our leaders), but immigrants are a special case. just sayin. Back to the files.
We should deport trump who is doing the equivalent of burning the Constitution
We should burn the flag trump wraps himself up in then posed for a photo with a look on his face like that flag is a catch rag.
It's Culture War 101.
But it was okay for him to autograph the American flag? Seems a bit odd.
And of course Rubio nor Noem came out and said “ we can’t do that”. They didn’t even try to pass it off as Trump joking this time.
This is peak hypocrisy,who treat the flag like a Trump-branded commodity to be worn out and discarded. If they really cared about the flag, they'd start by boycotting their own tacky merch. But nah, it's all about the grift and the ego. Keep calling it out—America deserves better than this circus. 🇺🇸
It's ironic that the man who wipes his ass every day with the American flag is offended by people who burn it 🤔
Clear sign of a #dictatorship
Technically you can be arrested for “open burning” by lighting a flag on fire in a public space. I’m surprised to hey haven’t done that yet.
I have a better idea. Deport anyone who shoots a puppy.
Fascist dictators think their symbols deserve respect as if they themselves are laws. I've always thought this idea is a psychosis.
Let’s publicly burn some Russian flags to see how Trump responds.
Pretty soon, jaywalking will be grounds for deportation. No one is safe in trumps America.
The irony is thick enough to mine for Bitcoin – a digital currency that's all about decentralizing power, yet here we are, debating who gets to decide what's acceptable speech.
YUP SCOTUS has RULED..not happening dough boy.
If Trump is ever convicted of a crime and given a sentence, part of it should include his attendance in a beginning US history class. Not only should he be required to pass the course, but he should also have to pass the US citizenship test as well.
He looks like shit btw
Trump is definitely a rapist, perv, pedophile and sex trafficker Release the Epstein files 👇🏼
What about humping the flag? Is humping allowed?
He looks like hell. I mean, like, really really bad. Plus, his suggestions don’t mean shit. It’s not the law
Some of The Constitution applies only to citizens, but the 1st is considered for everyone.
Don't loose your focus with a couple of burning flags. Remember this: 'It ain't gonna go away'. Release the Epstein files.
Dictators gonna dictate. Trump shames the office every day he occupies it. The Republican Party needs to be held accountable for their efforts to destroy representative democracy and everything that depends on it as a foundation, including free speech.
how about Trump flags can i burn those????
I'm buying some maga flags and burning them this weekend!
Is defacing/burning an already defaced flag still a crime?
brilliant. sending you respect from 🌅 Canada
This is another fishing lure he's throwing to put oppo on wrong side of an issue and they'll fall for it again, of course. Don't take the bait. Somebody will burn a flag, get charged and the case will work it's way thru the system wo every D championing flag burning ffs.
Republicans are carrying out daily elder abuse forcing this poor, sickly man (Donny DoPoos) to continue to ‘serve’ the American People. Retire him now - and then maybe the USA might live in PEACE!
Where are the Epstein files, videos and testimonies?
His name must be in the Epstein files more than we thought!
Trump Turner over your dark secrets written extensively in the Epstein files.
Demon.
politicalamericans.com/ice-revives-...
They should just burn Taco Don effigies and MaGA cult memorabilia.
What about those (Trump) who are burning the country down?
NAM DRAFT DODGER, Mr Bone Spurs. Chicken. RAPIST
And, something that never happens.
Isn't that sonofabitch dead yet?
He’s easily the most impotent WH occupant in the history of this Country.
Who is going to be able to afford a flag to burn?
Can we burn a Russian flag in front of the White House? I’d like to see him defend that.
Can we burn the Russian flag?
But he can autograph flags with a sharpie?
Anybody can burn an American flag. I personally don't like it. But they have that right under the US Constitution, and I will support their right to do so.
It's also the proper and only way according to the flag code on how to retire a damaged American flag. So why do you personally not like it?
It is, but destroying (retiring) a US Flag is done with respect. Usually in a retirement ceremony. Not in protest to the government. I am a US veteran. I served this country. That is why I personally don't like it.
{ we stand against fascism here. and america, as it stands, is a deeply fascist country run by an active dictator. just as i'd burn a nazi germany flag in protest of nazi germany, i'd gladly burn an american flag in protest of neonazi america. i have no pride in a country that wants me dead. }
Thank you @shaiko-system.bsky.social for expressing my exact thoughts.
{ you fought for what you thought was right then. so fight for what's right now. fight for all us queer people, all the immigrants, all the natives, all the racial minorities, everyone this country is built on a hatred for and always has been. the US stands for genocide. always has. and we do not }
I am. The current regime is awful. It most certainly does not represent the majority of Americans.
It’s getting to the point that it’s almost a duty now.
Most ppl don't like it. That's why he's trying to pick a fight over it so Ds will reflexively defend it. Don't take the bait, ppl. If a case arises it will work it's way thru the system & win without becoming the alleged D brand going into midterms, like 'defund' did a few yrs ago.
Until it goes before SCOTUS. We have no idea if they will overturn Texas v Johnson.
Making it a midterm issue won't impact that possibility, but it'll help Rs hold Congress & absolute power. Again, nobody - let alone migrants simply hoping to not be harassed - is burning flags. This is a political shiny fishing lure.
I really don't think it's going to go that far. Hell, this will be forgotten in "2 weeks". People can't seem to focus on an issue for more than a few days.
He just needs ONE democrat saying "flag burning is a right" to frame *every D candidate* as a dangerous antifa loon ahead of midterms and he'll almost definitely get it. TV ads with fire n flags are campaign dynamite.
You have a point.
We fall for it every time. When they brought Kilmar back we won, end of story, take the W. But no, we have to then fight his deportation even if it's after he gets due process and maybe turn that W into an L. The issue was due process, not Kilmar! Bottom line, we suck at this and will keep losing.
He has a right to fight his trumped up charges in a court of law.
Its not about kilmar. Its about justice and the rule of law.
Absolutely.
EPSTEIN!
And should send those that desecrated the US Capitol on Jan. 6 with them.
Stupid man! Not only is that allowed under the Constitution, but MAGA abuse the US flag all the time, via clothing etc - as did the.January 6th rioters who were pardoned by Trump! What a tosser!
MAGA: Yeah but Gavin Newsom is being immature! Both sides are equally bad!
He needs to stop conning people into thinking executive orders are laws. They apply ONLY to agencies under the control of the Executive Branch. His scrawl only keeps the Treasury Dept and such from flag burning. Unlikely to happen but this admin constantly surprises me.
Another distraction while he gives away public lands for development, militarizes our police force(s) etc etc etc
I am certainly no fan of tRump or his fellow travellers and find flag waving both tedious and, oft times, dishonest; BUT, burning the flag of the country in which you reside is an affront to that country and its people.
He didn't mean immigrants, he meant anyone
You can say things like this when you know the Roberts court will back you
What happened to the vet who went out and burned a flag and then got arrested?
I am fine burning Darth Syphilis flags and effigies. For now.
Do they sit around making things up and wanting to deport people.
I'd like to pedanticly point out that burning a flag is an acceptable method of disposing of a worn and tattered flag.
trump is on video defacing the American flag with his signature. Arrest him now!!!!!
Why is this repulsive creature still alive?
Nothing about any of this is fucking real ...
There are lots of rules, actions and regulations about the American flag and Trump has broken some and MAGA has broken all of them.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!
Child rapist doth suggest too much.
He looks terrible. Is the end imminent?
Our donnie has learned SO much over the years! Remember this?: "Oh, he's a businessman who's new to politics, he'll learn and grow into the job."
So there! I love our Constitution📜 It's really an amazing piece of work. Too bad trump would rather trash it THAN ACTUALLY READ IT? It just struck me, our founding fathers really thought of almost every EVIL to protect it 📜.. except one, @78 A 34ct FELON: Donald"Jerkycreep"Trump, WHO LOST IN 2020😭
People just need to start ridiculing this moron not fear him. Tell it like it is. He is a puppet controlled by Russia and the Heritage Foundation. He is very stupid, vain and is not achieving any of the promises he made to get elected. He is a failure on every level.
Executive Orders are NOT Law Biding if it doesn't follow the law... It's just a CEO telling his staff what he would like to see ..that's it .
Yeah. They cancelled the Constitution on a Thursday in July. Expect more of this.
Every immigrant or every non-citizen resident?
Trump should be tried for treason for burning down our COUNTRY!!!
Ironic since he’s a Russian agent.
"Riots at levels you have never seen before" says the reality show mob boss. 10 cent beer night in Cleveland, Diso Demolition in Chicago, and anytime Philadelphia wins a title would like 47 to hold their beer
Good because nothing about Trump is really presidential!
He is looney tunes
A) There can't be that many flags burned each year B) Few (if *any*) immigrants are inclined to burn flags
He's trying to pick a fight and politically inept Ds will bite that flashy lure and get reeled in. Nobody's burning flags but he needs Ds defending this very unpopular (but legal) act in order to brand them unAmerican for midterms.
Good luck (not really) with that Flag burning has got to be around #87 on any Dem's list of things that urgently need defending Flooding the zone *can* backfire it seems
I love the idea that a content creator on TikTok suggested. Burn conferderate flags. I’ll add burn trump flags.
The pedophile racist - Taco- hates …… and his hate will thankfully kill him.
Can we deport people who autograph the flag?
...and this is why you don't fetishize a symbol
#RELEASETHEFILES Taco
But it's okay for a MAGA Dingbat to turn the American Flag into underwear to put on a gold statue of Trump?
What about burning sandwiches? Is that legal? 🥪
Guess we’re all burning flags now. Let’s start with the ones defiled by trumps face.
But humping it is just fine!!
I have almost forgotten about the Epstein files. Almost.
This coming from someone who literally wrapped the flag around himself and kissed it like it was a child. Also pardoned rioters who attacked police with the flag. Very sick person.
Making shit up again to make people think immigrants are burning flags.
It's to generate campaign clips of Ds defending flag burning for midterm tv ads.
It won’t work. Case in point, even the town halls of Red State republican reps and senators are on fire. Their own voters are screaming murder to fall for theOrange buffoon’s bullshit.
Big picture. This is just another little thing. They're also redistricting, banning mail votes, stationing armed militias/actual military in heavily D areas to intimidate voters, hammering out-of-control crime propaganda, and purging the entire federal government of all but loyal trumpists.
It won’t work. I live in America. His own Red States will bring him down. Read the room.
They *know* their bs is very unpopular and they're taking all of these measures to make sure it won't matter. Connect the dots.
Dude the dots are connected. America ain’t like any other country. This bullshit may look like it’s working for those who live outside America, but it’s unraveling. It ain’t gonna work. It’s bullshit.
Really hope you're right. 👍
If you see images or clips of people who are burning US Flags it's likely from Iran, Iraq, Palestine or other regions abroad, which have an issue with the US.
So where is the #Shitler flag bonfire being held? 🤔🤣
Can we get 51% of America to tell the idiot Trump… 🫵 YOU’RE FIRED!
Our country has fallen to fascism to the sounds of applause from Republicans. I don't even recognize my country anymore to be honest.
Trump, Rubio & Noem should be DEPORTED!
his ridiculous unconstitutional EO is what should be burned.....
