I don't agree with many of our tax laws. But I sure use them for my benefit. Wish they would streamline and make it simple. But they don't, and I will use the law to my advantage as long as I am not being unethical.

It's not complicated.

How is today's EO on flag burning consistent with law? - Ace A - 8/25 14:00:58

Which law? From the founding of the US until 1989 - Spanky KU - 8/25 16:44:35

It's designed to take on Lawrence vs Texas - MU Diaspora MU

- 8/25 14:55:31

Interesting only in further attempts to strip rights - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:00:37

No rights are being stripped, drama queen. nm - MU Diaspora MU

- 8/25 21:20:15

Woke right virtue signaling.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 14:33:34

It's smart - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 14:57:18

It isn’t. The Supreme Court already ruled on it. Trump is - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 14:59:16

What did they rule on exactly? Why is it OK to burn - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 15:00:21

It’s not against the law to burn a pride flag.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:02:55

People have been arrested for it (nm) - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 15:03:25

Context matters. Burn one in your backyard and you - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:04:49

That logic doesn't check out (nm) - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 15:05:29

It does. You just don’t want it to. Hang a black doll - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:07:23

Burning a flag is either freedom of speech or it isn't - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 15:08:01

What is the point of burning a Pride flag? - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:10:41

Both are freedom of speech - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 15:12:47

So is yelling fire or he has a gun in a movie theater. - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:46:21

Yelling fire isn't a crime - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 15:47:37

Go try it.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:53:49

Wait, do you really think it's illegal? (nm) - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 15:56:25

The President has the legal authority to offer EOs - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/25 14:31:58

An EO is a “memo from the boss” to Executive Branch - haeffb MU - 8/25 15:00:41

It's not a memo. It's a directive that has the same force - kmawv8 MU - 8/25 15:05:25

Memo = directive - haeffb MU - 8/25 17:06:24

RE: It's not a memo. It's a directive that has the same force - meatiger MU - 8/25 15:12:49

You lie. You cheer Trump EOs all the time.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 14:35:49

I like when he removes previously issued EOs - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/25 14:36:57

Legislature is worthless now - meatiger MU - 8/25 14:47:56

Like any person or group with powers given them - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/25 14:51:25

RE: Like any person or group with powers given them - meatiger MU - 8/25 14:55:18

In 5 months Trump issued more than Biden did in 4 years. - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 14:42:59

You said I support them "all the time" - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/25 14:46:23

1) tariffs 2) trans ban in sports 3) deploying NG in - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 14:54:35

Good work - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/25 14:59:20

I know. And many more proving you support EOs when - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:01:18

numbers 2 and 3 are good things (nm) - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 14:57:36

Then it should easily pass through legislation. (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 8/25 14:58:32

Would have been the much preferable course(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/25 14:59:52

You are lying to yourself. You prefer the EO over not having - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:11:48

I would much prefer legislation - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/25 15:18:28

And when you say "use that authority well" it means - kmawv8 MU - 8/25 15:36:11

You don't need to agree with a tool to use it - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/25 15:56:03

We're talking about Trump, not you. - kmawv8 MU - 8/25 16:03:20

It's weird to think that just because you use or approve - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/25 16:24:33

Which goes back to him not being against EOs. Just EOs he - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 15:53:30

I don't disagree - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 14:59:51

Just cancel the other side's EO - meatiger MU - 8/25 15:01:30

Yeah, I just don't agree with that style of politics. - kmawv8 MU - 8/25 15:01:13

It’s telling that this bothers you so much. (nm) - Outsider MU - 8/25 14:21:49

They always charge people burning pride **** (nm) - ZouMiz STL - 8/25 14:21:24

People have been arrested and jailed for burning - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 14:07:57

Who? Where?(nm) - Grasslands MU - 8/25 16:30:25

Burning someone else’s flag is illegal (nm) - haeffb MU - 8/25 15:02:47

How often is that prosecuted when it's - Bosalphus KC - 8/25 15:05:07

it's not and i care not a whit. nobody cares about the - 90Tiger STL - 8/25 14:02:53
