Virtually every other nation in the world punishes people for desecrating their national flags. It’s illegal in all but the most snowflaked nations.

And it was illegal in the United States for over 200 years of the country’s existence – up until a 1989 Supreme Court ruling.

But what I find interesting is that the call to ban Trump from Twitter came from several media outlets at the same time. Whooops. Seems a one Mr. Soros must have written an email recently.

"Twitter’s 317 million users need to demand that the service ban Trump for life."- David Benkof, Daily Caller

"It’s time to ban Donald Trump from Twitter."- Sonny Bunch, Washington Post

" Asked whether Twitter would ever consider banning key government officials or even the president himself, a company spokesperson responded via email: “The Twitter Rules prohibit violent threats, harassment, hateful conduct, and multiple account abuse, and we will take action on accounts violating those policies.” Pressed on whether that meant that, hypothetically, Trump himself could be suspended were he to violate those policies, a spokesperson confirmed: “The Twitter Rules apply to all accounts, including verified accounts.” - Slate

".. it would also be a fine idea to ban Donald J. Trump."- Kate Knibbs, The Ringer

Here, lastly, is the petition made to ban Trump from Twitter.

Go ahead and ban him; Trump will start his own Twitter and put this guy out of business overnight.

So burning the US flag is protected by free speech.
But criticizing flag burners is not?

Something ironic about a newspaper calling for a ban on free press.

The Left has a mental disorder. It is a totalitarian mindset. Try playing a round of checkers with them. If they lose, they knock the game on the floor and call you every name in the book. They are spoilsports and want their way all the time. It is the result of the education system that pushed the self esteem movement down their throats.

It can ban anyone at any time for any reason.???

So it is Perfectly OK for a “Public Accommodation” Company to REFUSE TO DO BUSINESS with anyone they choose, simply because they disagree with their lifestyle choices and personal beliefs???

Just wait til first HUMAN RIGHTS lawsuit is filed.

In other words:

Ban freedom of speech.
