Man, Trump should be careful of Cohens

hmmmits never stopped being great?
Seems you thought otherwise when you said this
"us white people brought them to America, killed many on the way here, ripped them from their families, enslaves them for centuries, then imposed Apartheid." Sounds like it wasnt so great back then according to you.

 

It's da jooz! I tell ya, it's da jooz!

 

Lol...If you think that trump is making America great, I have some swamp land for you to buy.

 

ok lets check one by one.
Jobs....tell us how hes doing.
oh and be honest...I permanently ignore dishonest members now.

 

So wait, is this his old lawyer?

 

Lol...right-wingers refer to Mexicans and all other hispanics as "*****". Remember?

 

no idea what term you are using so cant comment.

 

Veterans burn the flag!

 

Trump didn't burn a flag in Helsinki. But he did a lot of saying how awful America is, in front of the Russian tyrant.

And why does it bother you more when some nut burns a flag than when Wall Street reaches into your pocket, or Trump gives away the store.

 

he said nothing of the sort. Link to Trump saying how awful America is please.

 

he bailed

 

him too

 

What a bunch of whiney bullshit.

Your definition of patriotism is pretty friggin stupid and reflects your lack of support of the constitution of your country.

Your anecdotal bitter animus against "lefties" certainly does declare your intellectual dishonesty.

Who knew making america great again meant trampling free speech while making the free press an enemy of the people, while goring her allies and friends and arse kissing her enemies.

Yep, its all about respectin' the flag. Can't get much more pathetic than that, but I expect you will try.

 

hahahja whos trampling free speech? These filthy kneelers are free to kneel and Im free to point and say scum...utter scum...and Trump is free to tell the NFL what unpatriotic *******s they are. No one is trampling free press just the fake ones that are really the DNCs waterboys. whats the matter you support the kneelers free speech but not ours? Take your intellectual dishonesty and examine it closely. Its hilarious.

 

Everybody who deals with Trump should record him.

 

Ovens? Wtf? This post makes no sense.

 

intellectual integrity ain't your thing I get it.

Yeah sure you think taking a knee in protest during the anthem is unpatriotic. Didn't realize the flag, trump and your kind of patriot were such snowflakes.

When you say "our free speech" are you admitting to being a member of the radical racist right wing fascist fringe or as many euphemistically call it the alt-right?

 

Disrespecting the flag is unpatriotic to all Americans. <Rule 3/4>

 

ironic, as he himself is an Ashkenazi Jew.

 

But arse kissing America's enemies is totally patriotic especially when you blame America and its stupidity for the bad relations with uncle vlad.

I suggest you immediately begin the quest to find and reclaim your intellectual integrity.

 

no, in when the USA allowed human slavery we were an evil country.

we stopped being evil when we outlawed slavery.

 

ive never heard such a term until 5 seconds ago.

How times have changed. The first flag desecration laws (most of which were passed between 1897 and 1905 by individual states) were not to stop political dissidents from burning flags. According to Robert Justin Goldstein, the author of "Saving Old Glory" (Westview, 1995) and the forthcoming book "Burning the Flag" (Kent State), these laws (all states had them by 1932) were intended to prevent the use of flag imagery for political campaigns and for commercial and advertising purposes -- uses that are now seen as patriotic.

History also shows that flag burning has never been epidemic in this country. Mr. Goldstein, of Ann Arbor, Mich., who teaches political science at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich., says he was able to turn up records showing "fewer than 45 reported incidents of flag burnings . . . in all of American history between the adoption of the United States flag in 1777 and the Texas v. Johnson Supreme Court decision in 1989," which declared that politically motivated flag desecration is protected under the First Amendment. "About half of those incidents occurred in a single five-year period, 1966 to 1970, and were overwhelmingly associated with protests against the Vietnam War," he said.

Here is a sampling of Mr. Goldstein's list of burnings, published in the March-April 1995 issue of The Flag Bulletin, the publication of the Flag Research Center. SARAH BOXER

April 15, 1967. New York City. Flag burning in Central Park during a massive anti-Vietnam War demonstration.
