Conservatives have the weirdest boner for flags, and against flagburning. A thing that almost never happens.
It'll probably be happening a lot more now
I have the urge… to buy a bunch of Made in China flags… and do some arts and crafts.
This is likely to apply more to conservatives than anyone else. Slapping words on a flag? Desecration. Using it for advertising? Desecration. Adding symbols (like guns)? Desecration. It's not going to be enforced like that, but the hypocrisy is real.
The conservatives wallow in hypocrisy. These were the same assfucks that were calling themselves free speech absolutists, too.
As usual, they are absolutely full of shit.
@MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com You left out the thin blue line flag.
Last I read, the change in colors and design are significant enough for that iteration to not count, but I might've read it from a biased source. I can't quite remember where, but I was erring on the side of caution, not that it would actually be applied even if that flag counted.
The whole gimmick of conservatism is to bind people you don't like with laws while exempting people you do like from the same laws. Nothing new.
That's in the USAmerican experience. I recall in Yugoslavia that the Left pulled the same hypocritical stunt and the conservatives in USA felt like it was already happening to them (since it was exaggerated into panic by social media's polarizing algorithms).
Flag burning happens all the time, mostly done by the Scouts.
Yup, 8 year old me was clearly a criminal.
I was a bit older than 8, but I learned to smoke weed in the Boy Scouts.
Ha, I wish my pack was that cool. I think the coolest thing we got to do was shoot guns and go skiing.
Also proper retirement of flags is done in a pyre. I was in boy scouts when I was a kid and we had to do it semi frequently.
I'd burn a flag in protest but it's not worth the price of buying a flag
Burn other peoples flags
A blowtorch will effectively burn flag stickers on jacked-up pickup trucks. Not that I'm advocating such a thing.
Especially with those tariffs.
One year? Eh I'll still do it as it is my freedom of speech.
So in other words, FUCK YOU!
When a flag is so tattered that it can no longer serve as a symbol of the United States, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning.
What about if the country is so tattered?
Then it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning.
How Canadian of you.
Trump need to be targeted by the high cholesterol and sodium in this body and die.
He must have the world's laziest arterial plaques.
"The Attorney General shall prioritize the enforcement to the fullest extent possible of our Nation’s criminal and civil laws against acts of American Flag desecration that violate applicable, content-neutral laws, while causing harm unrelated to expression, consistent with the First Amendment" If I am reading this correctly, all the Trump enthusiasts desecrating a flag with their diesel exhaust while speeding/road rage/DUI should all be round up. So vague in wording not even describing what desiccating the flag means...
All of his executive orders read like they were spit out by an LLM. Which they probably were.
Trump is like an LLM trained on stupid. He's a Markov process generating horse shit.
Is there toilet paper with the US flag? I have the urge to wipe my arse with it.
Isn't the pedo-in-charge already doing that? Oh no wait, that's the constitution...
TP with Trump's face exists.
Even better
Makes me wanna start burning flags out of pure spite
I'll get some flags with the wrong number of stars or stripes and burn them. I'll also burn Confederate flags because fuck those traitors, and I'll burn pictures of Pig Boy Trump and stick pins into bloated orange dolls.
Yeah do what Disney does, the flags in the Disney parks are missing stars or bars so that they don’t have to follow the flag code
The executive branch signs bills into law. It doesn't create laws.
😢
It creates laws if the other branches of government are too corrupt to stop it.
Right - Checks and balances don't work if they're colluding! It all falls down without integrity
Much woke.
Nothing unconstitutional about that.
At least for now. Won't be once it goes to the White Supremacist Court.
