President Trump signs executive order on flag burning: "All over the country they're burning flags...through a very sad court...they called it freedom of speech...When you burn the American flag it incites riots...You burn a flag, you get one year in jail."

I have an old flag, I will ceremonially and respectfully burn on. I may even try to video tape it with my phone. More people should do the same. Dare him. Maybe someone or group wants to go viral. My son's scouts did it once. Properly and respectfully!! More Info at THE NATIONAL FLAG FOUNDATION

The U.S. Flag Code says, “The Flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” When an American Flag is worn beyond repair, it should be retired in a respectful manner. etc

He's grabbing at straws to rile his fading base and for more distraction from his failures and being outed as a pedophile.

The EO is not binding. Many are not. They are not a law or a regulatory code. They're directions he gives to his cabinet and the agencies he directs. He has no real power to amend laws, especially regarding our civil rights. When this poopy devil finally dies, I'd like to see every reminder of him 🔥

They're sort of like tweets, or "truths," or whatever. They get printed in the paper, and then we move on.

If Scalia was alive, he'd be a woke, left-wing radical. "...he afforded flag burning constitutional protection, because 'when government bans certain conduct precisely because of its communicative attributes' that regulation is unconstitutional...[Scalia voted] to strike down flag-burning laws."
