Trumps latest attack on our Constitution

[ProudVirgin69]

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/08/prosecuting-burning-of-the-american-flag/

It’s been well established by our courts—including two Supreme Court decisions on the matter—that burning the US flag is constitutionally protected speech.  Nevertheless, Trump is seeking to restrict our first amendment rights by prosecuting those who choose to burn US flags.

This SHOULD offend every American who believes in our constitution and the rights it guarantees.  I’m sure RINOs like Coach will be all in favor of this.  Sad!

Torch ones country flag should be consider treason.

[Lartinos]

I agree, I think this is grounds for more riots from leftists.

How dare they say we can’t burn the flag or even cities.

Viva Fidel!

Why would anyone want to restrict the first amendment rights of Americans?

Ah yes, you are European and you have no understanding of the US constitution.  Kindly refrain from speaking on matters about which you are ignorant.

Guess he don´t live in the Deep South.. would whoop his ass !

Feel free to try.  I’ll be all too happy to exercise my 2nd amendment rights and put a couple hollowpoints in your brain

I understand this is the case in Europe, where your government limits your freedoms.  Fortunately in the USA, we have the right to express ourselves without government infringement.

Freedom is scary.  Deal with it.

Out your depth Son ..

[GymnJuice]

This will be unpopular here. But I agree that it is freedom of speech and should be protected.

I just realized Proud Virgin is Rob, aka 240 or Bust. He also tried to come off as a tough guy with his gun talk. Makes perfect sense.

he´s about as hard as my first shit .. threatening to shoot me on an open forum.

People are actually longing for a dictator, as Trump himself just said. He is not wrong, CNN said as well (LOL). I'm not putting any value on this before anyone has a knee-jerk reaction accusing me of being liberal, but I think the attitude changes in society are real. Europe would need a new Hitler in my opinion. Much needed but I don't think he's coming...

If someone is interested in human and societal "drives" and how it may relate to Trump for example, I thought this was extremely interesting, though I was somewhat familiar with the concepts, Jung etc... if someone watches, let me know what you think. It's not anti-Trump per se, kind of complimentary of Trump's 'force of personality' if you choose to see it that way. MajorDomo, maybe something for you to ponder on a little, I don't know

The problem is it's free speech to burn the American flag but hate speech to burn the faggot flag or isreali flag. If it's free speech for one flag, should be free speech for all flags, right?

Agreed.

Southerners would never burn their own flag

Freedom of speech is just that freedom to say whatever you like as long as it doesn't cause physical harm upon others

But it isn't illegal to burn those flags either.

Funk i like you & always have because of Bodybuilding old school stuff but.. if i was in the USA i would support the USA Flag.
If the South support that Flag ..let them as long as they don´t commit a crime then why worry?

Yep, I am for it. Burning a symbol of our country that represents freedom and our soldiers that fought and died for you to say stupid shit should be prosecuted. You act like prosecuting for flag desecration is some new concept. Desecrating it is a slap in the face to those that fought for it

If you burn our flag, you deserve to be tossed out into shark infested waters.

I didn't say it was illegal. But in many places across this country burning either one of those flags is defined as hate speech and you can be charged for it.
