Trump: Jail time for people who burn the American flag

[buckshot24]

it was just a fucking sentence and i didn't parse it, that would be breaking down the grammar of the sentence.

there weren't any exceptions, period. you continue to be wrong as everyone has repeatedly pointed out.

you are an idiot as usual and i'm done with your bullshit. i can't wait for you to get banned again.

I think I had a 24 hour vacation once. I leave because I get tired of it. The new blocking system is pretty good, you might want to try it. It was just a sentence and probably why you shouldn't make the conclusions you made from it.

I know there weren't any exceptions outlined but if Trump puts this forth, I hope he doesn't, there probably will be. Expecting a tweet to contain all of the exceptions is absurd. Therefore when you don't find them it isn't a problem, if you're being fair. You guys don't want to be fair, you're in 100% hack attack mode and giving absolutely no charity to everything Trump says. You assume the worst. IF he puts a bill forth and there isn't any exceptions then we can join together and try and stop it.

I wouldn't revoke citizenship, but I would throw them in jail for a year. Men and woman died for that flag.

Many countries actually forbid it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_desecration

One doesn't get charity without being deserving of it. Can you clearly articulate what trump has done (using his entire life if you want) to be deserving of such charity? I bet you can't.

No people did not die for that flag.

Who cares what other countries do. Should we perhaps look to China for influence on labor laws? Maybe Russia to model ourself for corruption. The possibilities are endless.

No, dumbass, men and women didn't fight for the flag! They fought for the ideals that it represents, one of which is the freedom of speech and the right to dissent.

I'm sure its just a minor oversight, fascist like you forget.

It's supposed to be a symbol of liberty. Punishing people for burning it seems counter to the meaning of the flag.

Why do you hate freedom so much? Are there other amendments you'd also like to trample all over?

No one cares what you would do. You're not the law. And just because other countries aren't free doesn't mean that America shouldn't be free.

LOL anything but the precious 2nd.... it's a God given right LOL

I disagree with people burning the flag, but living in a free country demands that I accept that they have the right to do it.

Of course, this is the usual Trump twitter bullshit / bravado. Let me know when there's actually a chance of a constitutional amendment passing that would allow for flag burning to become a criminal offense. No idea why he's wasting time on this stuff, there have to be 100 things ranked higher on his to-do list at this point.

I really don't get this argument. People say don't believe what he tweets. He isn't serious. Wait until he does something. It's all talk. You know what, he will become President of the United States with the full power of the Presidency. He WILL appoint someone to the Supreme Court who will interpret these laws. It was 5-4 when it was last decided and Scalia was a vote to strike down the flag burning laws. He will have the power to appoint people into courts to decide these things. He can go after someone as he said he would if they piss him off. He can go on a twitter tirade but now will have the power of the Presidency to act if he chooses. It is horrifying.

"Trust us when we say that our leader is nothing but a liar." LOLOL

Trump only tweets in the wee hours of the night when he's trying to distract people. He's not going to do anything about flag burning, that's settled law. Instead of worrying what he's lying about, maybe we should figure out what he's trying to distract us from.

Uh... His horrible cabinet picks? His conflict of interest business activities?

I gotta say, for an anti-establishment candidate who promised to drain the swamp, it sure is amazing that all of his cabinet picks are Wall Street and Washington insiders.

Apparently by, "drain" he actually meant "fill".

Trump is about to break his lease agreement with the GSA and doesn't think that its a problem and this is supposed to be the upright savior that the religious fanatics have put into power? Just wait and watch as the garbage machine fires up and delivers more of the same with secret sauce all over it.

I fully support your right to burn the US Flag.

I also fully support a private citizen whipping your ass for doing it.

Spoken like a true republican, the law only applies when I want for it to. Mens rea for conceiving the idea of beating a person and then actus rea for actually carrying it out. Assault for threatening the person and then battery for actually placing your hands upon them and hurting them. Barbarism indeed! Say did you attend the Richard Nixon school of integrity?

I was personally gonna beat the fuck out of 3 people in my lifetime for it. The first time was just outside my base, when I witnessed the flag being torn off the barber shop and stomped on. The second was when a punk decided to remove the flag from city hall and light it on fire. The third was when my own flag was taken down during a rain storm and was being stomped into the mud in one of my flower beds, right in front of my house. All the unpatriotic assholes did their deeds at night. Actually, I didn't get to really beat them up, as the kinds of people who do these things are blow hard little cowards. I was going to though, but they all ran. Little bitches!

 

[Ackmed]

Obviously there should be no such law. As much as I detest it, I support someone's right to. Trump is dumb to try it. Just as Hillary was. Funny how a nominee wasn't given shit for it, especially since most media thought she was getting the presidential election.
