Before >we need someone like Scalia!!!! >constitutional rights!!!! >I hate PC culture!!!!
Now >Flag burning (constitutionally protected) is criminal and disrespectful!!!! >We need to make it illegal!!! >It's offensive
This is completely inexcusable. Bring out all the non-existent chess metaphors and "but hillary did it!!!" all you want. That doesn't matter. It's irrelevant and there is no endgame to this. This man is suggesting stripping our liberties. This isn't going to do something that suddenly gains him a billion supporters. It's a self-congratulatory masturbatory tweet for him and his deluded cult fanboys. I don't like flag burning, but it's not my right to stop your right from doing it.
I voted Trump, and I still very much support him, and this is STILL completely indefensible.
Who are you quoting? Read the sticky newfag strawmaning is not an arguement
Tyler Miller
Sup Forums has been subverted by alt-right faggots from /r/thedonald. Theyre autistic memers with daddy issues who look to Trump for life advice
Theyre degenerates. You only need to see the Trump general to get a grasp of these aspies

Luke Campbell
Isn't it funny how he's not even President yet and he's already transparent with the public, stimulating debate and gauging feedback? It's almost like every "controversial" tweet shills try to smear just spreads his influence further, painting him as an underdog against the increasingly autistic screeching of every news outlet...
Almost like it was his plan all along...

>muh constitutional conservative
Fuck off with that, we need someone who does the right thing regardless of what is written on the constitution. Democrats got abortion legalized, yet that should have never passed. I think flag burning is much fucking lower on the scale of importance, but it doesn't change the fact that both should be illegal.

He stimulates debate, this must mean the constitution is shit!!!!

There is literally nothing wrong with what he said. If you burn the flag you have no place in America
Daniel Gomez
what would be the proper way to dispose of old tattered flags if a law against burning them were to be enacted? a respectful burial ceremony?
Michael Jenkins
But Antonin Scalia voted to protect flag burning as a constitutional right, and Trump loved Scalia
Noah Richardson
How can you disagree with a flag? It's literally just a flag. You can voice your opinion and do something about what you don't like about the country. Try to make it better. Burning a flag gets you nowhere and gets you no respect from anyone. I agree that they shouldn't be allowed to stay in this country.
Lincoln Powell
So you say it's just a flag, yet you want to kick people out for burning "just a flag"?
>There is a justified reason and dignified way of burning the flag when the time has come for Old Glory.
>"U.S. Flag Code 1 simply reads: 'The flag, when it is in such a condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning,'" said Les Donoho of Boy Scout Pack 133, who participated in the ceremony.

You're conflating your butthurt libertarian faggotry and "anti-statist" positions with our nation (not country or state, but nation) and our right to defend its most sacred symbols from the vermin who would desecrate them. A nation (again, not a state or country, but nation) who will tolerate the defilement of its most visible emblem by creatures who want to destroy our nation will tolerate anything at all.
No more, faggot. Take your butt-marriage-combined-with-corporate-tax-cuts Jewish nonsense elsewhere, you fucking crypto-kike.
Isaiah Taylor
I was being sarcastic because he said it was 'just a cloth.' You can't be in disagreement with a cloth. You can be in disagreement with a symbol of the United States. If you are burning the symbol of the United States then you obviously don't love it or it's people, and you should not be living here.
Chase Watson
Burning our flag is something our enemies do. We're not going to accept enemies into our country and we need to remove the ones that were mistakenly let in.
Letting in all of these people was a mistake that needs to be fixed by removing the shit.

Again, cuck standards that only apply to the US.
Nathan Foster
Or better yet I live in a country (at least I thought I did) that wasn't so retarded to get butthurt and persecute over burning a flag which is usually construed as a symbol of country. Burning a flag can represent the amount of actual true freedom you have in the country to stand up against tyranny that you can do such a taboo thing
Now I'm not saying we don't have big brother shit regardless but banning flag burning is an actual step towards that universal thing

Jaxon Nelson
Trump's a joke. What did you expect?
Christian Mitchell
just seems like that would be difficult to enforce, if the proper way of retiring a flag is burning it and burning it would be against the law.
yeah they could write exceptions that differentiate when it's being done as a protest and when it's being done with dignity and respect, but proving what the intent was behind it would be tough.
Aaron James
I would agree with you if we didn't have so many people in this country already that hated it's guts. Not to mention, I do not understand the big brother argument. Flag burning was illegal up until 1989; we didn't have any sort of tyranny in the hundreds of years where it was illegal. There was no encroachment of liberties. It was just a country where you respected it's flag.
I don't see how it would be difficult to enforce; it's been against the rules in the military since day 1 and they've gotten by. They end up dealing with more flags than anyone else combined.
Daniel Perry
There are lots of flagburners Who have got too much freedom I wanna make it legal for Policemen to beat em'
Ryan Walker
he does not really want it to be illegal, idiot
Luke Evans
If people hate the country what difference does banning flag burning do? Why not ban anti-American rhetoric too?
Grayson Phillips
>just le pretend retarded xD
Sup Forums isnt IRL kiddo
Brandon Martin
(if you meant all flag burnings would be handled by servicemen disregard this wall of text)
what i mean is, say it's 2017, a federal ban on flag burning has been made law.
jimmy (a member of black lives matter) is out on the street with other youths, he pulls a flag from his backpack and lights it on fire, saluting it afterwards. he's subsequently arrested. at his court hearing, his lawyer, saul shlomoberg, tells the court he's not guilty because he was just retiring the flag, and not lighting it on fire out of disrespect or protest.
could the prosecutor really prove he's lying?
James Garcia
your post has nothing to do with my post
Landon Powell
Flag burners should be expelled. You don't like the team you're on, then get the fuck out.. Go wipe your salty vagina somewhere else.

It's weird watching this place become self aware. You voted for an incompetent would be fascist if it weren't for Pence, Sessions, Ryan and every other conservative he was forced to align himself with.

Obviously, burning a flag in the middle of the street while protesting isn't respectful.
I personally think burning the flag of the country you're in should be illegal. However, I understand that it's basically the 'ultimate' sign of freedom. People should have the respect to not burn it. It shouldn't be fear that stops them from burning it.
Owen Bailey
I don't see how you could interpret his tweet as anything else.

when is burning a flag speech unless you're a literal firebreather and you use it to light the flag? They'll get off on a technicality and some dumb libs will try it too and die.

>when is burning a flag speech unless you're a literal firebreather and you use it to light the flag? Have you read what Scalia wrote about flag burning?
Ryder Price
Maybe we dislike flag burning because the flag is a physical representation of all the freedoms we hold dear and burning it is therefore a demonstration against those freedoms?
Austin Allen
I like how even when OP preempts his comments by saying he knows Hillary did it too, Trump-worshippers still trample through it because its their only argument.

I'm in the navy >Muh false sense of superiority It's just to state that I'm committing nearly a decade of my life in protection of the country
And honestly IDGAF if you burn the flag or not, if you don't like the country you're free to leave and if you like the country enough to stay and just want to burn the flag to emphasize your point then so be it because honestly it's just a flag. Some people just get so bent out of shape over stupid things honestly.
Wyatt Wood
Ok op I'll try to explain this so even someone with limited brain power(you)can understand. Don't burn the United States flag and this won't be an issue for you. Also fuck off.
Logan Ramirez
No one asked why people dislike flag burning.
Banning something because you don't like it is the definition of hypersensitivity in the government.
Samuel White
At least one of you Trump supporters are not total bootlicking retards. On second thought, not very likely. Prolly CTR concern trolling

Austin Sanchez
I mean there are actual legitimate hardships we face right now as Americans, it always seems to me that these sort of 'issues' like flag burning are just to divert attention.
Some dude in WI or Cali wants to burn the flag wow how dare you destroy my country while at the exact same moment I'm getting taxed heavily for something I will absolutely never get a chance to see a penny out of (Social Security)

Sort of depressing reading response from his supporters and this thread. Just shows that neither liberals nor right-wingers give a fuck about free speech when it comes to something they disagree with.
Most people would be ok with a tyranny if it was one they agreed with.
