That who didn't expand? There are other people.

What the Executive Order Says (August 25, 2025) 1. Not a blanket ban—but a targeting strategy. President Trump did not outlaw flag burning outright. Instead, the order directs the Attorney General to prioritize enforcement of existing, content-neutral laws—such as those against disorderly conduct, property damage, or public safety violations—when an act of desecration occurs alongside other infractions. 2. No claim of absolute unconstitutionality. The White House emphasizes enforcement only when desecration also causes harms unrelated to protected expression—like incitement of violence—or falls under “imminent lawless action” or “fighting words” exceptions to the First Amendment. 3. Foreign nationals face immigration consequences. Non-citizens who desecrate the flag may face visa revocation, denial of immigration benefits, or deportation.

It says right there that they did not expand on how this doesn't apply to the first amendment. It also doesn't say anything about how your burning the flag has to cause a riot, just that the act of burning a flag is now going to be prosecuted because it could incite one. Your reading comprehension sucks.

Where do find time to burn flags between working 55+ hours a week, posting on here non-stop and whatever other made up crap you come up with for the day?

Didn't do it last night. Most Sundays though, spring to fall. Probably 15 or so per year. Generally just paper flags. Don't want to waste money on fabric ones, plus those fumes are more toxic.

https://www.freep.com/story/sports/high-school/2025/08/25/okemos-wrestler-suing-girl-body-slammed-boy-practice/85809279007/ Just saw this clip about a gal who got seriously injured in practice. She was 94 pounds, and it sounds like she was wrestling against much larger teammate, and after she was slammed multiple times, they should have been more aware that she was badly hurt. Aside from that, I don't think her being female is quite the issue that is being claimed. It could have easily happened against a boy the same size against the larger kid.

I don't get the "outrage." Companies change their branding and logos. Look at the KIA logo change.

I don’t think I made that claim. @Offthemat made the claim that Dems do it more, but refused to back it up. I did provide some math disputing it. I think both sides probably do it about the same, I don’t know for sure but if I had to pick one I’d bet Republicans do it more, which was supported by the data I shared.

How many did you burn last night?

Democrats appear to be the party of lawlessness so ...

Burning a US flag "in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or that is an action amounting to “fighting words.” Democrats will spend the next months fighting to retain the right to incite lawless action by burning a US flag.

He wasn't the only one in the room. News articles never give you 100% of the story and everything said.

I think that's IF a riot is incited. I'm pretty sure my Sunday flag burning parties are still fine as long as it doesn't turn into a "riot." That never happens though at my parties. Just good people cheering, laughter, listening to good music and a few drinks.

If it’s pure optics. Why y’all be typing so many words in outrage to it. Just move on then.

You didn't read the article. There is nothing that says that. In fact, here is a direct quote. WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order charging the Department of Justice with investigating cases of flag desecration and burning, saying that anybody who burns a U.S. flag would be charged with inciting a riot. Trump said burning an American flag “incites riots at levels we’ve never seen before.” Anybody charged for destroying a flag would be charged with inciting a riot and receive one year in jail with no opportunity for early release, Trump claimed. Trump’s advisers said the executive order “wouldn’t fall afoul of the First Amendment,” which protects the freedom of speech, but did not expand on what that meant.

What an idiot. What it really says is that they'll investigate whether a crime was committed ( in accordance w laws that already exist) whenever somebody burns a flag. Inciting a,riot is already illegal. This is pure optics, for the idiot Maga cheerleaders.

Which side does this more? Show us your math

They specifically said not to infringe on 1st but to enforce state and local law.

What claim?

According to his own words, burning the flag is now an arrestable offense because you will be charged with inciting a riot now. Hilarious coming from a guy who had his supporters storm the capitol building to prevent the transfer of power who beat police with the flag itself.

I’m guessing this may have been on Newsom’s mind with his post
