So?
And?
A million other things the BLM/Drag Queen/Gay/Socialist/Antifa Fascist/Marxist/Communist/Racist/Insurrectionist/Liberals and
Democrats can do are "acts of protest", but that alone doesn't make them legal.
I said you can't burn things in public.
I am right.
And on cue, (a Democrat) immediately went outside the White House and lit (an American flag) on fire, screaming at President Trump
through his bullhorn and was soon arrested but not arrested for quote "burning the American flag". He was arrested for SETTING A
FIRE IN A PUBLIC PARK. OK. So it wouldn't have mattered what he was burning. YOU CAN'T JUST PUT A BUNCH OF STUFF ON THE GROUND OUT
IN PUBLIC. ESPECIALLY IN A PUBLIC PARK, AND SET IT ON FIRE. That's a fire hazard.

But, it's protest.

In PUBLIC?
Yes, there is.

You have Internet... looked them up already. That's the only reason you want a cite, so you can attack the one(s) citing the laws
and/or the instances where people HAVE been arrested for burning or desecrating other forms of THEIR patriotism, like to you Drag-
Queen-lovers' shit.
Interesting, but we all know that there is one flag that you're not allowed to burn because doing so is considered to be not just a
crime, but a HATE crime. That is the rainbow flag, whatever it is that they're calling it now, the L G B T Q A I P K 2 plus flag.
All they wanted was the right to get married. They said it was nobody's business what two consenting adults did in the privacy of
their bedroom, they claimed. But then, they started mandating that everybody celebrate them and started putting up their kink
fetish symbol. That's what the LGBT rainbow flag is. It's a sexual symbol up in public everywhere and painting it on crosswalks
across the country AND THEN ARRESTING PEOPLE including these kids for felony vandalism for just simply doing some burnouts on them.
Now, I wouldn't recommend doing this, especially with a visible license plate on your vehicle, but I do commend the Americans who
took it into their own hands to try to disgusting symbols from public display.

"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."
