What's next? Are we going to find that back in the 90s, Senator Joe Biden proposed a law that would actually have much stiffer
penalties than the executive order President Trump's side?
Oh wait, what's this?
"Our diversity naturally pushes us apart, not together. What holds us together as a nation, Mr. President, is not a common
language, although I think that is necessary."
This obviously was back when the Democrats weren't completely insane. They actually used to have, I mean, at least some reasonable
stances.
"It is the national symbol. The reason it is worth preserving is because it unifies this diverse nation. The flag's unique place in
our national life means that we should preserve it against ALL MANNER OF DESTRUCTION. A statute making it unlawful to burn,
mutilate, or trample upon any flag of the United States, period. It doesn't matter who burns or mutilates or tramples the flag, and
it doesn't matter why. Under MY PROPOSAL, it would be unlawful to do the flag harm, no ifs ands or buts." - Joe Biden
So.. WHY is Trump's executive order ANY different than Crazy Joe Biden's "proposal"?
Yes, it IS protected speech, but by the same token as it BECOMING "law" that you CAN burn the flag, it can JUST as easily be
reversed with the Supreme Court we have now.
Aaaah... that's all ac academic... burn the flag... go to jail... get released. THAT'S not what matters. What DOES matter, is that
now, "we" have WHO you are and where you live, and just ONE fuckup... just ONE threat... where will you find yourself?

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
