What's your opinion?

I am of the opinion you can do what you want with YOUR property but you can't take someone else's flag and burn it. I don't agree with you burning the stars and stripes but I also don't think anyone should be punished for burning flags like the fag flag or the jew flag. I feel like that is where this goes eventually.

Burning a flag is protected speech. You are 100% right about where this is headed. Trump will do what his masters tell him and ban burning any flag they want protected. We sit here in the US and watch the insanity going on in the UK, all the while praising Trump for getting that ball rolling here.

It's long standing and clear precedent from the SCOTUS. Flag burning is free speech. You may not like it but that was decided. Trump's law will be overturned, unless the SC changes its mind.

I disagree with burning the flag as a form of speech, and I think a lot of issues can be directly attributed to those who show so little respect to their host nation. But I also respect the ruling, largely because of you read it, it does make sense what those justices were trying to say at the time. I'd you ban flag burning, it's a small skip to ban words, like we're already starting to see.

Also a step toward "compelled speech". Some states are trying to do this already.

"You will use the pronouns or you WILL BE FIRED".

Yup. Colorado is one. Failure to use someone (including children's) pronouns is a 5 year jail sentence and 15k fine. In addition, they can sue the individual rather than the business for such infractions.

Just glad I work nights.

Wait, which flag did he ban from burning, the US flag or the israeli flag?

If I had to guess. I would say "yes".

It's not going to stick, but it's going to make people notice how the left had no problem burning American flags but went berserk over insulting the LGBT flag.
