This is another dissing of the SCOTUS and a way to establish dominance over law and the legal system.

So if Trump burns the #EpsteinFiles how much time will he get? 🤔

we prefer to burn red ties

Oh, thank GOD! I mean, those beautiful American flags are getting torched faster than they can be replaced! Haven't you seen the horror with your own eyes? Thank you, sir, thank you for solving this daily immediate crisis. 🤮

No problem. SCOTUS can just overturn their 1989 ruling in Texas v Johnson, the case that prohibited punishing anyone for burning an American flag.

Somebody better tell the VFW.

I actually met Justice Scalia when my undergrad constitutional law class went to DC to observe the Supreme Court. When he met with us after session, he talked about Texas v Johnson, and while he personally didn’t believe in flag burning, he believed in the first amendment more.

How about if you use the flag to beat law enforcement with it? You get a pardon.

...BUT, 34 felonies gets you a second try at destroying this country. 🙃

What if you use a flag pole, that formerly held a US flag, to smash windows and try to stab cops? Oh right, you get a Govt job

Honestly shocked he’s still alive…

What happens if you cut it up into tiny pieces???

Back to the 60’s on campus…got it. All of this is meant to stoke conflict so he can clamp down even more

<—-stockpiling matches

What if it's you desecrating our flag and our country everyday?

@dptoon.bsky.social

not like there is any precedent

18 U.S. Code § 700 Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both. Maybe Trump should read the Constitution.

Any flag?

God he is so fucking stupid

Those poor boy scouts won't know what to do. The only way to dispose of a damaged flag is to burn it. But, the risk of jail time means that tradition will have to end. Millions of torn up flags will be stashed in the back of closets around the country.

We need to have a burn party. Where we all burn them at the same time, record and post on social media.

I don’t own a flag, cause MAGA ruined anything with the flag on it, but I would 100% buy one just to burn it.

Fragility at its peak.

sure would be great if media outlets stopped doing live hits on him throwing unconstitutional shit at the walls and hoping it sticks.

What do you get for hugging and kissing a flag?

What kind of sentence should a seditionist get, Trump? A life sentence served in the White House?!

If nobody burns flags, Trump will claim he stopped them. If someone does, he gets to escalate. Win-win, same as the military going into Dem cities.

Antonin Scalia would like a word.

Executive Orders aren't Laws.

He's so ignorant 🙄 😒

So, if we're just crapping on the Constitution now I guess we can address the 2nd amendment, too? Newsom should be able to ban guns in CA now all on his own!
