Banning flag burning will be thrown out again. [1] Whats more this is in conflict with the proper means of destroying a damaged flag. [2][k]

(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

Also as an American and a US Veteran of the armed forces I support the right to burn a flag and not be shot for it. If anything it shows the strength and resilience of a country to support dissent rather than fearing it. I expect my leaders to be fearless. And for those opposing flag burning, be happy your dissenters are self identifying. If a person really hates a country they reside in then they should leave it as soon as possible and never return otherwise they are just throwing a tantrum or seeking attention. Have some comfort in knowing these people are likely just sheep that have been manipulated by agent provocateurs to sow division as part of Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) [3].

If people do not have a burn permit one can and should use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Fire safety starts with you.

Do the Dems have any plan to combat this tyrant? Any information campaign at all?

The number of people sitting behind bars at the Cook County Jail has increased about 25% since the end of cash bail [1]. A lot of super progressives are very angry; I suppose they will praise Trump for his actions to let large numbers of people suspected of being criminals out onto the streets?
