“But I wanna take away the voting rights of the voters who voted against me and are now protesting my election!!!” [stomps feet]
“Sorry, you can’t.” [patting him on the head like a child]
“Oh yeah? Well, who controls the military now, you fucking traitors?”
Tick tock tick tock…
In its 1989 decision in Texas v. Johnson, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 that flag burning was constitutionally protected as symbolic speech. The court struck down the federal Flag Protection Act of 1989 a year later.
A couple of appointments to SCOTUS and Trump will have that decision overturned.
Wait until Trump’s face is put on our currency.
When Mitch McConnell is being the sane defender of civil liberties, you know what a scary time we’re in.
Maybe not his face. Maybe another part of him.
What possible reason would he have for even going here? This isn’t an actual proposal for anything. There is another agenda here - even if it is just being used to bait and test media reaction. This guy is off the charts dangerous.
Can’t predict what a future Supreme Court would do based on a ruling in 1989. The composition of the Court is quite different now.
Trump will whip up a lot of support for fascist Tea Party candidates to primary GOP pols opposing his agenda. I look for “primary wars” to become a thing in the next year.
Trump claims that there are millions of fraudulent votes! Keep your eye on the ball!
You really know ‘the end is near’ when Sean Duffy is the ‘man’ the media goes to for quotes and/or ‘thoughts’. Yikes!
And just so I am sure I get this straight - this man believes that people should be arrested and exiled for burning flags, yet these same people should all have unrestricted rights to arm themselves with guns. Yeah - that adds up nicely.
“In my neck of the woods, people don’t burn their flags, they actually honor their flags,” McCarthy said.
By wearing our Flag as a bandana around their fat heads, or plastered on the fat asses of their jeans.
God bless America.
Was this in response to someone actually burning a flag?
Scary enough if it was. But if it wasn’t, even worse … there may be an actual strategy in the works here. Definitely a new line for the Nuremburg rallies he also has planned.
The Constitution does. Don’t worry, we know it. Love, the military.
The sky is not falling.
We’ll need to revise the color scheme first.
Trump reveres the image of our flag above the words of our Constitution; believes those revering images of Mohammed are off their rockers insane.
Nah. He just has to get his version of the Nuremberg Laws passed by the compliant Congress (and cheerleaded by the feckless MSM) to bring the Judiciary under his control. He will wait until he has his 5-4 SCOTUS majority first however, because they (like the German High Court in 1935) would have to uphold it as Constitutional for it to take effect.
Once that is done, it is all over (just like in 1935.)
It would be quickly followed by purging the Military, Judiciary, and Law Enforcement of anyone who is “disloyal” to Dear Leader Trump (just like in 1935) and the outlawing of elections because of the permanent “State of Emergency” the nation would be in.
Then, we will see the creation of the “Deportation Force” staffed by Brown Shirts and the ascendancy of the “Christian White Supremacy” leaders at the State and Federal levels.
Just think, Nazis with Nuclear weapons at their disposal…Oh. Your. God.
Cheeto Donnie issues he 2nd to first Executive Order…
the First Amendment is now suspended… by careful what you say…
