Wow. For those of you who apparently agree with Trump on this, what other forms of protest would you also punish people for? What other expressions of speech or thought should the Federal Government be able to imprison you over?
How does one equate freedom of speech with burning the American flag?
This isn’t a new idea. We are just being bi partisan with Hillary
I was for it back then too

“What other expressions of speech or thought should the Federal Government be able to imprison you over?”
Let’s draw the line at publicly smashing things and/or lighting things on fire (other than lanterns and properly contained, permitted bonfires). We can discuss the constitutionality of throwing feces or smearing objects you don’t own with feces.
Seems like there should be some things off limits. Don’t go reductio ad absurdum on us.
It is only defined as free speech by a stupid court decision. Do you think that decision would have been made in 1943?
The only citizens that are not allowed to be offended seems to be White Christians, wonder why that is?
