It's free speech to burn the flag.

But within a dictatorship, you don't get freedom of speech unless you are echoing their bullshit.

Burning the flag was ruled by the Supreme Court to be free speech.

But that doesn't matter now. The dictator Trump has issued his decree, and when it eventually gets appealed all the way to this Supreme Court, the corrupt and compromised co-conspirators Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh will give him what he wants, probably without even bothering to try to justify it.

Obviously. It was already ruled that flag burning is speech. Stupid question

"No."

See, it's that easy, now they can arrest you and shoot you for resisting arrest!
