That's being reported by Rolling Stone magazine (link below -- a paywall).
Meanwhile, the National Flag Foundation says burning is the proper way to dispose of a flag. Why can't this man, or somebody on his staff, do an even mediocre job of research before he comes forth with his majestic edicts?

(53,206 posts)How many years should you get for beating the shit out of the cops with one, throwing one to the ground to replace it with a Trump flag, walking around in the US Capitol with a flag that isn't the Stars and Stripes, making a flag that's a US flag at the end closest to the grommets and a Confederate flag at the other end, or overlaying Trump's campaign shit on one?
We won't even start in on how many years you should get for stealing the operator's maintenance and operation manual for a nuclear bomb and storing it in the bathroom of the hotel you own.

(360 posts)I personally think humping and kissing Old Glory on stage, in the presence of an audience, is certainly a much more grave affront to the American flag.
Disgusting!

Side note: Im kind of a flag protocol stickler. Where I worked at they had 3 flag poles. A U.S. flag, a Texas flag, and a company flag. All 3 were at the same height. It took a few tries to get them to keep the company flag lower than the other two.
The company I worked for is in a very red area. Yet I was the only one who ever tried to get it lowered. All the bs Ive heard about how maga reveres the flag is just that.

(6,887 posts)I mean, is a flag made out of paper a flag? Is a photo of a flag a flag? If you burn a book with a picture of a flag on page 97, did you burn a flag?
Effing ridiculous.

Should those who used the American flagpole as a weapon be given additional jail time?
