Trump and Biden: Both Full Of Shit On Flag-Burning

link

Trump's against it...well...I'm against it, too...but Trump has suggested that it should be illegal. Biden apparently has a long history of diligently trying to make it illegal--I did not know that. But now that psychotic hoards of leftist Blackshirts are cavorting across the country destroying artefacts of American culture, burning down buildings, beating non-leftists en masse, killing people, and burning flags...Biden's for it.

The Democrats in general, it seems, are for all of it. They're certainly not against it.

So, basically, Biden was wrong about it, but now has changed his mind in order to get political support from violent, anti-American totalitarian shitheads...coming to the right position for the very worst of reasons.

Fortunately, Trump's words aren't that consequential. This likely isn't what you'd call a carefully-considered position of his. That's one of his few saving graces--most of what he says is just the bullshit of the moment. Trump's casual bullshitting needn't be taken too seriously. He's not going to push for it, and could, undoubtedly be made to change his mind and move on to the next thing. The Biden business is much more sinister, IMO. 

   I'll fight anti-flag-burning legislation to my last breath...but...not necessarily right now. When you've got neo-Maoists stampeding through your cities, you've got to make some choices about how to spend your energies. The harm they would do to free speech makes just about all other threats to the First Amendment pale by comparison.
