Fuck that "free speech" shit. That's desecration of the nation ensign.
Those people should have all their limbs broken and left to rot where they fall.
Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order directing the Justice Department to re-examine the feasibility of issuing criminal charges
against Americans or others on U.S. soil who engage in flag-burning.
A controversial means of protest, burning the American flag is an act
that has long been viewed by the Supreme Court as a protected First
Amendment right. News of Trump’s order signals a willingness to relitigate that legal precedent before the nation’s highest legal authority.
He is set to sign the order later Thursday. NewsNation first reported the impending executive order.
Trump has personally condemned protesters for burning the American flag in
the past, and has even called for a constitutional amendment to scale
back free speech protections in order to criminalize the practice.
Flag-burning emerged in the Vietnam War era as a popular form of protest against the U.S. invasion, and was criminalized in many states until a
Supreme Court ruling voided those state bans.
“You should get a one-year jail sentence if you do anything to desecrate
the American flag,” Trump in 2024 during a “Fox & Friends” interview.
