[Back me up!]

This seems like bait to get some judge or lawyer to "um akshually "

Considering its now illegal to burn the Israeli flag (cause it a racial symbol, not a political symbol) I really don't care any more. Either we can burn them all or there are rules with the US Flag being at the top.

He's asserting that burning the American flag is a hate crime against people of American origin (i.e. the same reasoning used to saying that a burning cross is a hate crime against black people):

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. This may include, but is not limited to, violent crimes; hate crimes, illegal discrimination against American citizens, or other violations of Americans’ civil rights; and crimes against property and the peace, as well as conspiracies and attempts to violate, and aiding and abetting others to violate, such laws.

Also, a lot of places have generic burn bans:

In cases where the Department of Justice or another executive department or agency (agency) determines that an instance of American Flag desecration may violate an applicable State or local law, such as open burning restrictions, disorderly conduct laws, or destruction of property laws, the agency shall refer the matter to the appropriate State or local authority for potential action.

New Executive Orders:

PROSECUTING BURNING OF THE AMERICAN FLAG​

To all the people who are going to complain about the flag burning (which to be fair I think is stupid), liberals were prosecuting this as a felony offence.

For every "OH MY GOD TRUMP IS DOING X" you can google it and find that Democrats were doing something even more retarded like a year ago or less.

Republicans have been asleep at the wheel, and now regular people are out for blood.

I think there's a difference between burning a flag you own and debasing public markings.

The crime they were prosecuting in those fag crosswalk cases was a hate crime against fags, not vandalism.

Anyone who complains about it hasn’t read the EO. It accepts the established precedent of free speech.

The best approach is to decriminalize beating the shit out of someone burning the flag. Louisiana tried it in 1990 and again just last year. Remember when Dems were reasonable?

It can't be said enough how much of society and culture was ruined by this one invention. The internet before iEverything was just dorks playing games and arguing about Star Trek. Apple figured out how to get women to give a shit about technology by taking the phone they were already on all the time and adding a way to take selfies and gossip about each other. And then they found the rest of the internet and complained about it until we got to the point where I need to use Tor to say Patrick S. Tomlinson ia a fat family abandoner.

Terrible take.

Women and normies used phones to gossip since the Bell System days, and most of the 1990s and 2000s were spent getting more and more people on computers, with things like Windows 95 and the iMac making computers more and more accessible to people, and even in 2007 the iPhone was the next step in the all-in-one device market. Look up something like the Palm Treo or the BlackBerry, phones were going in that direction.

What really became the problem is that in the 2010s AT&T, Verizon, and others pushed payment plans to the poors and subhumans, which is how iPhones showed up in the ghetto through things like Cricket Wireless. That and by early 2007 social media was gaining ground fast. By the time the iPhone was even released Dorsey had made Twitter its own company and was rapidly growing.

you can't debase something that's already worthless

Hating the best country on the planet should be a hate crime, and the punishment should be public execution

hasn’t read the EO.

nigga, I don't read, I just post.

the fag flag is the symbol of forceful compliance, you can’t just accept that gays exist, now you have to worship them and validate them every second, less you be labeled a bigot. Hell most people who call themselves bisexual only do so out of socal pressure, yeah sure they call themselves bi but they only ever date 1 gender. Ever since we legalized fag right in this country , we have seen all our favorite media infected with them and all our laws forced to accommodate them and not to mention teach children about gay sex att he age of 5. Gays were better when they were in the closet, where they should’ve stayed.

To be fair have you seen the types of people that burn the American flag? They don’t burn that flag simply cause it’s American no they burn that flag because to them it’s a symbol of whiteness.

So in other words, I need to go back in time and kill Alexander Graham Bell.

I don't like picayune social engineering laws when the Democrats pass them and would like to see Trump steer clear as well. If the flag burning (or hate crime) is vandalism then it's already illegal and can be prosecuted with the same energy as every other act of vandalism.

The FCC has banned 1200 companies from accessing the US phone network for noncompliance with anti-robocall laws:

FCC Bars Over 1,200 Providers from Network Access for Their Continued Non-Compliance with Robocall Protections​

WASHINGTON, August 25, 2025—Today, in the latest FCC action to protect Americans from illegal robocalls, the agency’s Enforcement Bureau removed over 1,200 non-compliant voice service providers from the Robocall Mitigation Database, effectively disconnecting them from U.S. phone network. These providers violated FCC rules by failing to maintain accurate Robocall Mitigation Database certifications, thereby shirking their obligations to protect consumers from illegal robocalls. Earlier this month, these companies received a final warning from the FCC when the Enforcement Bureau removed an initial tranche of 185 providers from the Database.

Chairman Brendan Carr issued the following statement:

“Robocalls are an all-too-common frustration—and threat—to Americans households. The FCC is doing everything in its power to fight back against these malicious and illegal calls. Providers that fail to do their duty when it comes to stopping these calls have no place in our networks. We’re taking action and we will continue to do so.”

Additional Background Information:

The FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database is a critical tool through which the agency ensures providers are actively combatting robocalls and implementing STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication. Providers are required to certify that they have implemented STIR/SHAKEN on all IP-based portions of their networks. All providers must also submit robocall mitigation plans. Failure to meet these obligations may result in removal from the database and blocking of the provider’s traffic. Removed providers will only be permitted to refile in the database with express approval from the FCC’s Enforcement and Wireline Competition Bureaus.

In December 2024, the Commission ordered 2,411 providers to cure their deficient filings or provide a reason why they should not be removed from the Robocall Mitigation Database. Today’s action removes over 1,200 of these providers from the Robocall Mitigation Database. On August 6, the Enforcement Bureau removed a preliminary group of 185 providers from the database, all of which had appeared in at least one traceback as an originating, gateway, or non-responsive provider.

Following the prior removal of 185 companies by the FCC, a bipartisan group of 51 state attorneys general launched Operation Robocall Roundup which sent warning letters to 37 voice providers demanding that they act to stop illegal robocalls from being routed through their networks. The letters were sent to providers that the attorneys general noted had not complied with FCC rules requiring traceback support, Robocall Mitigation Database certification, and robocall mitigation plans—including seven providers the FCC had removed from the Database.

That would be the case if the hate crime prosecutions of the fag shit were not done under those statutes. This is just making flag burning fall under the same classification, so anyone wanting to make that ok again would also have to alow the burning of rainbow flags and leaving skidmarks on fag crosswalks.

Normally i would say this is absurd but if saying nigger is a hatecrime then this should be to.

Tit for Tat is the only thing that's working here, we can have both or neither. Their move.
