LOL. Burning the flag is considered a misdemeanor. Starting a fire without permit.

As for Trump and the tweet, the superme court has been trying to overturn the ruling which says burning the American flag isn't a crime since 1990. It has very little to do with what Trump tweets.
Missjo, you are wrong about the flag. It's a settled case that flag burning is Proctected under the First amendment. Even late Justice Scalia said that as much as he hates flag burning, he was no king and that flag burning is constitutional. Why would Trump threatens loss of citizenship which he couldn't do or jailing someone for exercising their rights. He's gonna be one hell of a president. It's gonna be fun for the next four years.

I agree with you 100%. Don't leave out the Christian Fundamentalists bombing the abortion clinics too. They are terrorists in my book.
I call it subconscious racism/bias on the part of the media and the government. It's the exact same thing that applies to missing kids -- it's mostly White kids who announced by the press as missing. In fact, with regard to the latter, Don Lemon once called out the media for their double standard.

Good morning, my people

I guess what you're implying is the issue of civil rights in the coming administration will be a case of 'from frying pan to fire'. Obama being the frying pan and Donald being fire, cos the justice system under Democrats hasn't been all that if you look at it objectively. Racial bias remains an issue regardless.
I don't disregard that racial bias is a thing in the Obama justice system.It very much is.

The case against Trump is that he's having a man who fellow republicans deemed too racist to serve as a federal judge twenty years ago now serve as the AG.His voting record in Congress shows he totally disregards civil liberties and has worked against a more balanced justice system that caters fairly to both white and colored citizens.

Jeff Sessions would embolden the culture of white privilege bringing it mainstream into federal policy in the justice system.

The justice system under Obama is mired with the same culture but what Obama did not do is to appoint a racist to head the Justice department and he made efforts for criminal justice reform but the lack of bipartisan support stops it right in it'a tracks.

Gbam. You nailed it. I had an argument with a guy that lives in US, supporting racial profiling. How sad can that be for a Nigerian immigrant with probably a very thick accent supporting racial profiling. He told me he's a republican. My people never ceases to amaze me. It will be a very interesting four years in old US.

Sometimes I wonder if he's sane or his ego is just on steroids. For heavens sake, he will be the president in less than two months and he's acting like a jilted 15 year old. Don't tell his lapdogs about high school civics. Hope America would not regret this loud mouth.

The funny thing is that all those poor toothless whites in the Appalichia and the South are on welfare and most of them have no insurance. They still vote overwhelmingly for Trump. They are getting their just desert. The rooster is surely coming home to roost. The poorest states in the union are deep southern Republican states. I am laughing in Chinese as sad as it is. People voting against their interest.

I am not sure if Jeff Sessions, the old Southern bigot will sail through the senate confirmation. There are few republican senators not comfortable with him as AG.

God knows I wish him well but he's starting on a wrong note. Have seen a play like this one and he doesn't end well. We shall see but like I said, he will find out what it means to be El Presidente in America. Americans are vicious if things don't go the way they expect it to go.

His cabinet is worth $35billion filled with the same crocs and gators at the helm of government collapse in the United States.Facts mean nothing to Trump supporters and he has no faults definitely but sorry he's a con artist and he's currently in bed with the top lobbyist and special interest in Washington.

Watching the news unfold at Ohio State University. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the students and administration.

Excellent job by the Ohio State University Emergency Management Team (OSU_EMFP) in immediately notifying students & faculty via social media with the message: "Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th and College."

THANK YOU to all FIRST RESPONDERS who reacted immediately and eliminated the threat on campus.

Yea I've seen dat figure. But this time (assuming they scale through d senate screening successfully) their worth will not matter, it will be their performance dat would be judged, and the American people will watch every step and every policy they implement.

Hypocrisy is when Hillary is the crooked and corrupt one while yet the corrupt one shows you he's employing the crooked and corrupt elements to run the government but somehow it doesn't matter because 'it will be their performance that would be judged'.

Observer is owned by Jared Kushner who happens to be Ivanka husband. Propaganda outfit of Trump machine. The Trump heads will do anything to prop him up. As for me, I will hope he performs well as the President comes January 20th because his goodness will be good for America. If he fails to perform after a year or so, the vicious attacks will be unleashed on him. We are not afraid to critique our leadership . Americans have little or no patience for mediocrity. He's being given a chance to rule and the ball is on the side of his court.

That is good. I hope things work out for Trump. No one critiqued him more than I do but I sincerely want him to do good for America. The bottom line is is that we are all Americans regardless of political affiliations. I am a Democrat because I believe that middle class makes a country whole not trickle down economics which has been proven to be against lifting the masses up.

You didn't get the gist of my post Lucas. I know flag burning is protected under the first amendment, I didn't dispute that.

These are the two points I was hoping to make in few words with my previous post:
1. Burning a flag is indeed protected under the first amendment, but one can get charged with a misdemeanor for starting a fire without permit. Doesn't matter if the fire is raging over a flag, get it?
This is a technicality and the perpetrator can get away with just a fine. WELCOME TO THE AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM, I bet you know a lot about technicalities yea.

2. The supreme Court has been trying to overturn that first amendment ruling for a long time now and they have been unsuccessful. Between 1990 and now there have been Republican and Democrat majority in at least one of two houses of parliament at various times, so it is not even a case of who owns the majority or who runs the oval office, to effect an overturn of the ruling.
Which is why I said it has very little to do with Trump's tweet because that's just what it is, A TWEET, as is usual with the loose vocal orifice he possesses. He can't just tweet it and it becomes LAW, ergo, much ado over nothing.

It appears you've been named head of Disinformation,Distortion and Distraction Bureau.

Facts don't matter to you guys.

First off,no one made stopped Bernie Sanders from getting the nomination.That's a lie that has been debunked but still being peddled around.

I've said it here time and again,Bernie Sanders lost the nomination by 4million votes.The DNC never liked him,they connived behind everyone's back with strategies to attack his character and tried to find skeletons in his closet.

Guess what,Hillary had the same GOP opposition reasearch but she never went after Sanders like Obama did against her in '08.Her focus once she was the clear front runner was to run against Donald.Sanders had a campaign free of smear campaign from Hillary.

Please be reminded,there was no effort,absolutely none that you can prove that shows that the DNC stopped Sanders from getting the nomination,none at all.They didn't like him and they were sneaky behind but none of their email exchanges or backdoor chatters affected the Sanders campaign because he was not attacked and it didn't affect voters from voting.

Sanders lost by 4million votes.Obama lost the popular vote to Hillary in the Democratic primary in 08 even though he was the nominee.Sanders didn't even come close to Hillary's '08 performance.

You can call me a sore loser all you want but I'all continue to point to you that the man you do glorify for running an anti-establishment campaign has failed and backtracked on every of his promises.He promised to drain the swamp but apparently he's picking directly from the swamp.

You still don't get it right?Explain why he would be considering Patraeus for a cabinet position or any position at all?
