    Charging someone for something that is 100% verified to be a perfectly legal constitutional right seems like the sort of thing that should result in a disbarment.

    “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.

    I’m not at all surprised that he explicitly names the American flag. The next step is going to be an EO to not prosecute burning other countries’ flags as hate speech.

      The next step is going to be an EO to not prosecute burning *other countries’ flags* as hate speech.

      except israel… that’d be antisemitism

      and if you don’t use a pride flag and fracked oil to fuel your grill on 4th july and somehow using an AR-15 to light it that’s a prosecution
