If I'm proven wrong how delightful for all involved, but "come through me" are especially funny words for a billionaire more likely to flee to a comfortable exile than start *physically protecting* the public or those already taken.

Even indirectly via their resources.

A federal grand jury has refused to indict a Chicago couple arrested during a violent protest outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview last month, a rare move that prompted prosecutors to abruptly drop the case.

Wrong.

SCOTUS upheld a 1A right to burn the flag in protest.
Texas v. Johnson (1989).

"If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable."

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

From nationalflagfoundation.org/etiquette/ho...

Burning a Flag

The first way to dispose of an American Flag is to hold a Flag burning ceremony at your home or other private location. Before conducting a Flag burning ceremony, note the material of your Flag and the local fire ordinances. Some materials may emit toxins if openly burned.

Begin a Flag burning ceremony by folding the whole Flag in its customary manner. Instructions for properly folding a Flag can be found here. Next, start a fire large enough to completely burn the Flag and respectfully place the Flag into the fire. The Flag should not touch the ground in the process.

As the Flag begins to burn, salute the flag, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and pause for a moment of silence. The Flag should be thoroughly burned so that nothing besides ashes are left. Finally, bury the ashes.

A United States that actually cares about Black people wouldn’t be the United States of America, it would have to become something else at the core outward.

Hate and exploitation of non-Whites but ESPECIALLY Africans as livestock and labor is the bedrock of what America is built on.

The United States does not and has never cared about Black people.
