[BV2]

and yet Democrats will say burning the Gay Pride flag or the Mexican flag or displaying the Confederate Flag is hate speech and should be punished.

Welcome to the chamber of the hypocrites.

True. But the dems are done. They are out of power and irrelevant until at least the next election.

Tell that to Trump. Read his tweet. Read it again. Maybe again. this is about his position not the media.

Oh, I know what Trump tweeted and that he is wrong.

Have you watched the network coverage that I have and what they have discussed?

The tweet is pretty clear. If it were the fact that property was destroyed that provoked Trump's orange hot ire, then the tweet might read,"consequences for destroying other people's $#@!." We would all of agree and be into page 4 of a circle jerk by now. And that isnt how it reads

Revocation of citizenship is an appropriate punishment for destruction of property? Not that he could make it so, but that IS what he said...

There will not be a law banning flag burning. Trump is trolling.

Also, because he is president, not 500+ members of Congress and 5 Supreme Court justices.

I think people are taking him too literal. I simply took it as Trump trolling the media and protesters, not as something serious. The protesters will now come out and start flag burning in protest to him, making them look anti-American and crazy. It gets them to protest the idea, then the revelation comes that Hillary supported what they're protesting against, making them experience cognitive dissonance. They fell right into Trump's trap. I find it hilarious.

How does protesting in support of the 1st Amendment, against someone who wants to ignore it as President, make one look "anti american and crazy"?

wow...you must be the only person i know who has NEVER lied...

amazing.

Did he say he never lied? Did he imply, in ANY WAY, he never lied? Oh, no?
That's weird. Why did you act as if he did?

Trumpster Strategy: Put words in the mouths of others and then attack them for "saying" them.

And many are saying it was intentionally controversial to distract from his awful cabinet picks today. Mission accomplished.

It's exactly the same position just mirrored. Trumpkins are equivalent to SJWs.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

While everyone was arguing about the flag, Goldman Sachs visited Trump today to tell him who his SecTreas will be. And hold on to your hats....it's an ex-Goldmanite!

Treasury Pick Bet on Trump and Won
Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs executive turned Hollywood financier, was Trump’s campaign finance chairman
By Anupreeta Das and Rachel Louise Ensign - Nov. 29, 2016

Steven Mnuchin built his career sniffing out undervalued assets and converting them into massive profits. But perhaps his greatest trade just came in the political arena.

Mr. Mnuchin, a 53-year-old former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker turned Hollywood financier, parlayed a six-month stint as Donald Trump’s campaign-finance chairman into the president-elect’s pick to be Treasury secretary.

...They are completely protected by the First Amendment if they want to burn a flag that they own.

Ah come on Brian. You know that slaves can't own property.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Ah come on Brian. You know that slaves can't own property.

Damn. There goes flag burning. No big deal, EPA probably would send a SWAT team to your house if you tried to burn a flag there.

DING DING DING!!!

We have a winner!

No I have not. I thought you were talking about the content of this thread. I guess that's the disconnect.

 

[silverhandorder]

This is exactly how the George W Bush supporters all sounded. You are supporting tyranny for no other reason than spite. You are on Trump's side so you will support whatever he tells you to while screaming at the top of your lungs that you can think for yourself.

Maybe. I was not old enough to follow politics for most of Bushes time. I am ready to accept that this may be a failed strategy. However people who were around during Bushes time think this is something new. So we will see what ends up being right.

I frankly can't stand leftists and now a days don't have time for them either. Trust in God emperor and everything will be alright.

 

[CPUd]

Yes I remember the GW people, though it died down quite a bit when the recession hit.

If hes a trollin, id prefer the president elect not to troll. Haha. Itd be like me, standing in middle of the room with a flame thrower bein like, in monotone, "Im going to burn you all to death." And some of you bein like, "hes just trollin..." Also, such a ban is probably the one thing that would make me want to burn a flag. Such symbols usually dont interest me.

If I was president I would still Troll Danke .

 

[oyarde]

Shitty move on Trump's part, but who honestly did not see something like this coming?

Oh well, at least liberals now suddenly have a chance to support civil liberties again.

MAGA STILL ON TRACK!

Personally I do not believe in flag burning , but people can do it if they have nothing more productive to do , it is certainly a wasteful act that will change nothing . Once I secede and defeat all comers and have my own Empire I do not even intend on having a flag. Maybe just a battle flag , then people will know when they see it they are going to be kicked to the dirt, LOL . That is how to make The Land Of Indians Great Again

Would that flag be tied to a lance?

Yes , it has a certain flair like that .
