How is this even an issue requiring an Executive Order?

Burning the flag of any country, especially the flag of the country you live, in many cases the flag of the country that TOOK YOU (A FOREIGNER) IN, SHOULD BE a crime.

Remember the news videos of the protesters in Los Angeles that were protesting ICE raids? They were flying the MEXICAN flag and burning American Flags!!

Everyone of those people should had been arrested and deported.

If you love Mexico so much to fly the Mexican flag above the American flag and then burn the American flag, why are you even here?

Is it because you are here for the free stuff handed out by the Federal,State and County governments that even hard working tax paying American citizens can't qualify for and receive?

The Supreme Court should never have ruled that burning the American Flag is a form of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment.

https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/...n-flag-burning

In the following countries flag desecration constitutes a criminal offense
either under the criminal code or under special statutes:

Argentina • Australia • Brazil • Canada • Chile
China • Cuba • Denmark • Egypt • France • Germany
Greece • Haiti • India • Iran • Iraq • Israel • Japan
Kuwait • Libya • Mexico • Netherlands • New Zealand
North Korea • Nicaragua • Nigeria • Norway • Philippines
Russian Federation • South Africa • Spain • Sudan
Sweden • Switzerland • Syria • Taiwan • Tanzania • United Kingdom

ONLY IN THE USA can you burn the American Flag and get away with it by claiming free speech.

There is too much freedom here and folks have wrongly and disrespectfully taken advantage of that freedom for decades !

I am very happy President Donald Trump is cracking down and reigning things in.
Good luck with that.
He only needs to abolish that 1st Amendment.... I'm sure he's working on it...along with others.
I am 100% AGAINST this.

Someone can be a 100% American Patriot and still protest by burning the flag.

It’s protected speech under the constitution.

If you don’t like that then feel free to speak out. That’s your right under the first amendment.

Restricting that right is the kind of thing that should get you thrown out of the country.

While I would never (even given the shit show we're in) do it myself, I respect the 1st amendment.

It pertains to burning or desecration of the flag WHILE
COMITTING another crime... Such as vandalism or inciting a riot.

... NOT burning the flag on yer-own property.
THAT is a protected "free speech" issue.

... It's really NOT that complicated, mates. ... No need to make it so.

I know X is the same at silencing speech and personalities that are not favorable towards Elon but don't know to what degree. BlueSky can suck a cock, another leftist echo chamber. Technocrats are ALL data mining control freaks and EVERYONE should consider deleting their accounts in mass to prove their not needed.

to add more "teeth" to the law.
