. Gay congressman Barney Frank thinks The Donald’s new flag burning tweet is a matter of mispronunciation, that in citing Antonin Scalia as his favorite Supreme Court justice, The Donald got the word wrong, it was fag burning not flag burning that Scalia was for. [This takes me of back to 1995 when Republican Texas House Majority Leader Dick Army called Barney Frank, “Barney Fag”.]
“If I were king, I would put in jail every sandal-wearing, scruffy-bearded weirdo who burns the American flag. But I am not king. However, we have a First Amendment, which says that the right of free speech shall not be abridged — and it is addressed in particular to speech critical of the government. That was the main kind of speech that tyrants would seek to suppress.” Antonin Scalia who wrote of his vote against criminal action in flag burning back in 1989 as unconstitutional. He voted against another one in 2012.
So in just a week the future King of the United States has tweeted that he wants to throw flag burners in jail and out of the country, bigly unconstitutional. Despicable Don only did that only to feed more red meat to further anger his one eyed minions. Whipping up white rural working class anger was what this election was most about. It is The Donald’s greatest asset, making people very very angry. In many cases violently angry.
The response to this from the Trump administration is that Hillary did it too! Standard fare for anything Republicans are taken to task for, find some long ago instance where Democrats did something similar rather than address the issue front on. Senator Clinton and Senator Bennett sponsored a flag burning BILL as an offset against the flag burning AMENDMENT that was coming up once again.
And not to forget the flat out lie he tweeted saying 3 million illegal aliens voted in this election. That huge whooper because he doesn’t like THE FACT that he lost the popular vote by 2.4 million votes. The man is a laughable clown and nothing he hates more than being laughed at. So please God, let him keep his twitter. Oh and get ready for the first Executive Order – Don’t laugh at President Trump or jail and deportation.
CAN YOU IMAGINE HAD THE POSITIONS BEEN REVERSED AND HILLARY WON THE ELECTORAL VOTE AND TRUMP WON THE POPULAR VOTE BY 2 MILLION?! What a show we missed with that. White Lives Matter would have burned down both Hooterville and Petticoat Junction.
