It is a destruction of our national unity. It shows hate for our country and disrespect to those who fought for the flag.

It doesn't matter, it's their right to express that. Whether that's why they are doing it or it's for other reasons. I served and swore to uphold and protect the constitution and the rights within whether I agree or not. It doesn't matter if I agree with their views or opinions, doesn't matter if I agree or disagree with if they should or shouldn't burn the flag or any other type of expression/speech. It doesn't infringe on anybody else individual freedoms and liberties. And if we take away people's rights simply bc we don't like or agree with what they are saying or doing then the flag loses all meaning

It is a piece of cloth with Stars and Stripes on it. If we allow any national flags at all to be burned, we let all of them be burned. It’s a part of freedom of speech, and says little about a persons actual values.

“Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”

By Chuck Todd, NBC News:We are getting awfully close to the moment when it might be fair to say, “Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”We are now going from a presidential campaign that left the public disinterested and at times disgusted it to a campaign that I could see generating an electorate that might be as interested, if not more so, as in 2008 and 2020, two of the highest-turnout elections in the last 50 years.If the Democrats do end up with a new nominee — and it’s looking more likely by the hour that they will — that, too, is likely to suddenly trigger interest in what the new nominee has to say, which in turn could engage the electorate in a way that the pre-debate version of this campaign just didn’t.But before we get to this campaign reset, the Democrats have to figure out what their ticket looks like and, more important, how quickly they can get their ticket selected and certified by the party.As of this writing, my sources indicate to me that about the only folks who are still trying to rationalize Biden’s staying in this race all share the last name of Biden, with the possible exception of Biden’s longtime chief political strategist, Mike Donilon — who, as the gatekeeper of the data that makes it to the president's desk, is starting to get blame along with Biden and his family for Democrats’ being in this position.
