Congress and SCOTUS have made it clear that we are no longer a constitutional republic and haven’t been since he was sworn in a second time. We are in under a dictatorship. Also, about those Epstein files…
I think Truffle would be much better off by buying himself few very red states and be done? He can be dictator there forever and we can finally build him a wall.
A flag? American or MAGA? Russian or Ukraine? It's so hard to know where Trumps' allegiances are on a given day.
who's gonna stop him?
I foresee a lot of flag burning in our immediate future!
Then how do you properly dispose of a flag?
Why isn’t he being dragged out of OUR House ? That’s what I want to know .
What an idiot❗️
What’s the penalty for burning down our Constitution? Sir?
How do people in the room keep from vomiting with the stupid s**t coming out of his anus mouth.
What if you burn an already desecrated flag, like one with Trump's picture printed on it?
Any flag?
I'm not about to waste my money buying an American flag just to burn, but here's an image I found online that gets the sentiment across I hope 😉
Yet it has happened. Because you are now a dictatorship and an authoritarian state. You’re not in the process of becoming one, you already are one.
Man torching the Constitution says it’s illegal to burn its symbol.
Sounds like a flag burning party is in order
Tell that to the Supreme Court.
But he has sycophants who’ll make it happen…
Isn’t that EO unconstitutional?
he just doesn't know how any of this works does he. most unfit and unqualified President in history. smh
www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...
Of course the Supreme Court ruled that flag burning is protected under the first amendment and so the law is inoperative, but it is in fact on the books.
Brings me back to PHuck all that voted for this and those that thought sitting out was a good thing.
You may use the F… it’s ok and well deserved in this context 😀
Sometimes I refuse to allow them to take me there. I’ve been done with this incompetent clown asshole.
How the hell could voters ignore Trumps 1/6/21 attack on the Capitol. It was a disgrace.
Let's go back a bit further. In a decent country, mocking a person with disabilities would be a career ender, that very second. But nooooooo, Americans made it POTUS.
I posted this in another part of the thread
I missed it 🍻
These people are all criminally insane & our country is utterly befouled by them.
LOOKIE ME! IMA LEGISLAVER! DO YOU LOVE ME NOW MA?
And yet, here we are. Testing the system on a popularist bull crap to find the structure and change it so you can get life for breeding.
Didn’t he ever watch School House Rock? He has no no idea how laws are made. Should we all go burn flags now?
hahaha like that matters. What's the penalty for defecating on the flag?
I think this will be tested in courts.
Reminds me of playing house when I was younger…I’d order my sister around, making up rules as we played. As a child, Trump must have played a king; making up the rules, ordering his sibling subjects to do this or that, punishing them when they got tired of being bossed around. He’s been practicing!
Play? What makes you think he played? Playing is so not his thing.
Haha….you’re right. He probably thought he was a king, even then. He’s really not mentally sound….needs credit for everything; center of attention. It’s more than narcissism, from my perspective, when you add in authoritarianism. His father did him a huge disservice.
"It's ok to put my image on a flag, or for me to put the flag on all the merch that I peddle. It's ok to overturn an election with phony electors and violent invasion of the capitol. But flag burning by leftists is awful."
I guess the beloved constitution is pretty useless after all.
Welp, it seems to now.
Ooooo, I wish I had read this earlier…
Burning a flag is constitutionally protected speech in thos country - the U.S. Supreme Court said so.
I have never loathed another human being more. My soul just feels violated and icky
You know we all want to light one up but can’t waste money on buying one.
The First Felon continues to challenge our own Constitution. If this is allowed, than the next POTUS can make what he does in office a crime. This cannot be allowed by SCOTUS. I'm sure it will be challenged and instinct tells me he will lose in court.
Sorry, the SuckCream Court already ruled burning a flag is protected 1st Amendment "Free Speech",
More authoritarian EOs.
Ron he would have to know the constitution to know that.
burned his flag 9 years ago
and again I ask...who's going to stop him? Congress? does congress even still exist as a functioning body? SCOTUS? all beholden to Trump who likely has something on them or their families Who's going to stop him?
True, but you have a historically corrupt Supreme Court.
Well, I guess you all know what I'll be doing on Labor Day. On the steps of the Capitol Building here in Boise in little ol' Idaho. At noon. Be there, it will be wild.
But watch it happen.
projection at every turn.
The executive order seems to instruct the DOJ to go after anybody who burns a flag on whatever charge they can find. It's authorizing politically-motivated investigations against anybody who engages in disfavored speech.
So, if you burn a flag on the driveway of an ICE building, they'll charge you with endangering federal property, conspiracy to incite a riot, etc.
It is an illegal order.
He thinks he is the King!!
Haven't seen any flag burnings though. Another culture war head fake, to distract from the Epstein files.
Texas v. Johnson (1989) held that flag burning constitutes symbolic speech that's protected by the 1st Amendment. So how long will it be before the SC bows down & overrules itself on this issue?
Trump pardoned the Nazi terrorists. January 6th,2021, a brutal war was exacted on Capitol and DC police. The US flag was taken down and replaced with a trump flag.
But if you rape many girls, you get to be president.
And your point is…….?
Republicans know this as well!
Of course not, but he thinks he’s King Donald. His enablers are playing along. At this point, nobody’s stopping him.
Right, but he can jam people up with this. Protesting leading to a declaration of marshal law seems likely.
In the disposing of old flags, burning is recommended. This man is so dumb an infected boil on a Magat's butt has more sense.
Just fly the flag upside down like Arse Alito did...
This presser was scary. He was babbling like a drunk.
Like he does every day
So... Trump only cares about burning a US flag when HE is Prez. OK. First... support #FirstAmendmentRights !! And... this story is from August 2024 when Biden was (a MUCH BETTER) President. Biden never threatened them with jailtime, just saying: chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/20...
Yeah but we don’t have a constitutional republic anymore.
The stupidest president in US history.
He’s got no mind left to lose!
Burn a flag? What flag ? Does scorching with an iron count? It takes nearly a year to process a prisoner to DOC. Does he mean a year in County? What
Or go against the US Constitution, even though he DOES IT EVERY DAY. Blurning the flag as a 1st amend. right has been settled by #SCOTUS long ago. Trump going after 'free speech' (retribution against dissenters, such as Bolton & others) in every way, is proof that he FEARS people speaking out.
So f’king stop him already!!!😡🤬
How does it work in a dictatorial republic?
What is the penalty for burning a president ? Freedom ?
THERE ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE WORRYING ABOUT AT THIS TIME, YOU F-ING DUMB SHIT TRUMP
Does that apply to a LGBTQ flag, too?
"Constitution? That old thing?" --John Roberts court every goddamn day
I just signed the “Release all the Epstein Files” executive order right before I lit a flag on fire. Your move, Orange Bitch
It's "just" the Project 2025 folk feeding Trump fascism by fiat. "Oh, that's a big one..." et al.
Just because there's no road, doesn't mean the bullsh1t artist won't make one. People should stop assuming a piece of paper HE lines his diaper with, means anything more to him than basic toilet paper. Judiciary says "no", on HE continues. The People say "no", on HE continues. Anyone else, fired.
I would like to see the cowardly Republicans who see what is happening, but are too scared of Trump and Trump supporters to get some background and do what is best for our country, not for their jobs.
This wannabe king is so beyond out of control. I blame Congress almost more than him because they could stop a lot of his nonsense.
Such an ignorant prick.
Then again we have a Supreme Court willing to overlook core constitutional protections
Awwwww boo how baby waaa this ⬇️ upset 🍊 bsky.app/profile/libe...
I just read this is likely so that if it happens, he has a pretext to bring in the military.
And oh yeah.... RELEASE THE DAMN FILES, you pedophile rapist.
The fucktard is strong in that one.
` The tangerine taco symbolically "burns the flag" with every last one of his oath-breaking acts. You know, the oath to the Consitution of these United States. Article 1 violation ( doge ). Violating habeus ( ICE ). Violating federal court orders. The list goes on for _pages_ now. `
But he pardons the ones who beat capital police over the head with a flag. 🤬
Trump just signed his name in a flag!
Trumpie doesn’t seem to know that….
What an asshole. Define flag. Exactly?!!
How about if you storm the capital - no penalty there for patriotism. The scourge is here.
they are looking to whip shit up. Of course there will be people engaging in free speech by burning flags, and king dipshit would be ecstatic if it results in violence. fuck that guy.
Protected speech ruled on by the Supreme court. Texas v. Johnson
Ok, so who is stopping him?
President Cankles acting more and more like a dictator.
WHY WILL NOBODY STOP HIM?? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
No way! You mean he’s making stuff up?!?
EO’s are not laws.
ALL of Mississippi, including Donald J. Trump need to be locked up for desecration of the US FLAG. MAGA, Trump faces, autographed flags…yep. LOCK EM UP! Title 4 Chapter 1 Section 8 for YS Flag Code CITIZENS ARREST REQUESTED HERE
Makes me want to burn the Flag. Fuck Donald Trump and all the morons that voted for him!
What a complete Idiot. On September 1, a group of 500 people should burn flags. Then what, arrest them all? Supreme Court says it's not illegal.
The SC will rule however Trump tells them to rule!
Not a given.
These people are like...children playing dress up and pretending to run the White House. They don't understand how government and laws actually work.
Funny that, they seem to be happily lining their pockets and enjoying fucking the country right up it's proverbial arse, laws and government be dammed!
Yuuuup. Lining their pockets with our tax dollars, funding cruelty with our tax dollars... They're going wild on our dime. What happens if none of us pay taxes next year? I'm predicting taxes are going to skyrocket what with all this reckless spending, the debt increasing, and rich tax cuts.
Incarcerated flag burners….Can’t think of a bigger waste of tax payers $. Wait, but then there is the new ballroom we all want, and the rose garden that is now concrete.
NY Times: “Some question if this is legal”
I will repeat what I have said many times over... THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE RULE OF LAW OR CIVIL RIGHTS.
But he sure as hell can hold PR events to distract people from the Epstein debacle.
Apparently, I’m gonna be going to jail so I will be there to pick up anybody who follows
My burning my mini flag coming soon. Will post here
Trump believes that he has the role of dictator and top law enforcement officer. He doesn't care about the Constitution. Be careful out there people nothing is the same under Fascism.
He demands something for the TRUMP SHOW…….even if it is illegal
We have every right to burn the flag. Maybe we should burn ALL the flags. It doesn't mean anything anymore. Throw the ashes on the WH steps.
When you see someone displaying it, what kind of feelings does it illicit? I won’t associate with that.
GD spellcheck.
It was more on the sarcastic side.
That didn’t answer my question. It’s not a great feeling any more is it?
#Trumpland #DiapperDonnie #TrumpSlump If leading an insurrection doesn't land you in jail and end of a rope Burning the flag is protected by 1A #ClownsIdiots
Yet rape kids you get a presidency.
What's the due process on that, exactly, since it is protected speech? Send flag burners instantly to El Salvador?
What if you write your name all over it for profit or popularity?
It’s also one of the only LEGAL ways to dispose of a FLAG not that Trump’s team does research
#NurembergTrials2.0
Fuck him. And everyone around him.
What if you burn a Nazi flag? Or a pirate flag?
Just another day of spitting out "culture wars" + "law and order" bullshit to keep the MAGA Red Hats crazy.
What if you put a picture of a treasonous pantshitter on it? Seems to desecrate old glory, but that’s ok? What if you hump a flag? Also seems bad.
Same if you burn the confederate flag? 🙋♂️
Which leads to the obvious and inevitable conclusion that the USA is no longer a constitutional republic! A line has been crossed.
🇺🇸 Seems important. 👆 bsky.app/profile/love...
This is one flag that should definitely be burned. And burned again.
He doesn't need anything; he's a dictator.
Wannabe dictator shit. The preferred method of disposing of a worn flag is by burning for Chrissake.
I’m going to burn 🔥 a flag ASAP, I would love to be the test case for this, you think Walmart would fire me?
Yet.
Flag burning jan 6th fuckers
He doesn’t have any rules. He just makes shit up as he goes along at this point in time we don’t have a constitution. We just have a dementia ridden asshole with a pen.
I think We the People need to demand that SCOTUS explain what they plan to do about this.
You’re confusing him for someone who 1. K led the constitution and 2. Gives a shit
EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN!
Let’s have a bonfire of MAGA merch!
Someone send 5-10 flags. I will post videos of them burning right on here
Let's all burn our flags
but he's okay with beating cops with flagpoles
EO = Executive Overreaching (may as well be a tweet).
Let's take bets that the SC says he can.
Well looks like now I have to burn a flag
There are no federal flag desecration laws.
A minor thing, but we should try to get it right: JAIL is not the same as PRISON
Depends where you are. RI has only a single facility, regardless of length of sentence or pretrial vs. post-conviction. I believe the Federal system also doesn't distinguish.
Not a sufficient rationale for a reporter to intentionally misquote.
But let rodents like Kid Rock and MAGAT’S continue to desecrate the flag by wearing it
If you hump a flag you get 2 years in prison for just being gross. If you rape children, you get jailed for life or castrated. #PedoTrump #trump #PedophileMan #FlagFucker
Give me a flag and a match.
Nobody is burning flags 🤣🤣🤣 Just another skanky outrage topic
They tried to overturn the 1990 repeal of title 700 by Congress and the Supreme Court but were struck down in congress in 2005. An EO cannot enact such statute against the 1st amendment. Go f yourself dictator felon pedophile(s) and read the constitution fn dip💩
Go round up the J6ers
So much for SCOTUS and 1st Amendment protections.
This has already been decided by the Supreme Court a couple of decades ago...it is entirely legal. What a bunch of stupid mofos.
Does this qualify with the Supreme Court as an official act?
But if you rape a child you get a “Get out of Jail Free” card.
What about if you attack, participate or allow an attack on a government building? You mean to tell me burning a flag is worse than physical violence? Trump world is the closest thing to the upside down possible
Invalid order, just like the orange clown who signed it. IMPEACH ORANGE FASCIST NOW FOR TREASON.
His lies are outrageous. Impeach him now.
presidents cannot make laws
So... Should I extinguish the barrel of flags I got burning outside now? 😏
People have to stop taking the bait…
And yet it will happen, because you ALL let him get away with this BS.
Now he thinks he's a judge?
This is telling you how fuck is our system that does not have any safeguards. Any crook corrupt vindictive asshole with money can go, buy the congress, the Supreme Court and then, its citizens are totally fuck. There is no protection
When will somebody kindly tell that fucking idiot Trump that.
At least they can still beat cops with American flags on poles.
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in 1989 that flag biting was an symbolic form Of protest and allowed it . It’s legal . Executive orders are like tweets from him
He's making an ass out of himself doing stupid shit, all while bragging about being smart
MAGA eats it up. Trump uses the power of US government to be king and do whatever he wants to. Threatens everyone here and abroad
I'm impatiently waiting for the 9th Judicial Circuit or the 7th circuit in here in Illinois to kick his Federal thugs to the curb when he sends them here.
His Syphilis disagrees.
Trump on Biden: "Not very sharp." Said the dingus who doesn't understand how the US Constitution works. JFC
That is unconstitutional
So, burning the flag is “now criminal” but him burning down the country is sanctioned by the Supreme Court? Got it. This country is so ass backwards thanks to this lunatic and his stacked Supreme Court. Disgraceful, all of them, history will not be kind.
He thinks he can change everything by executive order. To know any different, he would have to be a functionally literate, wouldn't he?
How about if you assault and forcibly kiss one on stage?
On the other hand, if you commit fraud, there is no fine small enough, and 34 felonies result in a presidency.
Trying really hard to get the patriots to focus on anything but the fact a sexual predator is living in the White House.
He thinks he owns the country. Period. End of story.
All over the country they are burning American flags.
With Dementia Don, though, it's perfectly okay to kiss, hug, and essentially hump the flag...
What about beating a police officer with the flag? Does that get you a sign on bonus?
What constitutional republic? That was yesterday. Today, it´s a kleptocracy of the Ruzzian style, including copious Nazi elements thrown in for good.
Another thing he knows zero about. The proper way to destroy an American flag is to burn it. Fold it and burn it. He needs another picture book - this time about the American flag and how to display it, what not to do with it, and later how to destroy it when it's worn out.
Throwing a symbolic bone to his base to distract from the Epstein files and the military takeover.
I’m pretty squeaky clean. I’ve not had a parking ticket since the 80s. Last speeding ticket I got was in 1999 (the day my daughter graduated from HS). Only criminal thing I’ve ever done was steal a candy bar when I was 12. But somehow this makes me want to go out and defiantly burn a flag.
Needs those non inflammable ones like the EU ones.
Ok, I agree Ron but watch, someone is going to be arrested for burning a flag very soon.
But you can bash the heads and bodies of capitol officers with our nation's flag and that's fine?
This fat douchbag doesn't write laws. Fuck off.
Something something unitary executive something something.
and they put it out like it's facts because the idiots over on the pedophile support channel aka Fox News will present it that way!
Whatever happened to that thing, like, freedumb of speech? I guess that’s not really a thing anymore
LMFAO. This guy is out of his mind. Blue states should pass laws stating if you burn a pride flag you get a year in prison. They wouldn't enforce it, but pass it to piss off the felon. Pass another law if you fly a confederate flag, a year in jail. Enforce that one.
I’m going to burn ten flags today. See yall in a decade.
