Trump calls for jailing, revoking citizenship of flag-burners
Laws prohibiting the burning or desecration of the American flag have been struck down by the Supreme Court.

Burning an American flag should be a crime, President-elect Donald Trump wrote Tuesday morning on Twitter, perhaps punishable by a forfeiture of U.S. citizenship or a year in jail.

“Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!” Trump wrote in a post to his social media account.

2. Ignore his tweets. They're an intentional distraction. Do you really think this hasn't been posted?

3. I think we would do well not to ignore the fascist that will have full executive power in the US

And controls the entire Congress and at least half of the SCOTUS.

This may just be a trial balloon to see what he can get away with or...

The first shot in destroying the right of free speech in this country.

4. What's his hangup about citizenship? Obama's or anyone else's?

Mexicans, he's got some crypto-imprint about aliens and citizens.

Seems to be a problem for him, which side of what you were born or can live.

Maybe his daddy threatened to throw him out of the house too many times....
