Considering they are not stage props your question is meaningless.

Performing their jobs is part of their lives that they are actually attending to.

Is that room where morticians "crack a cold one?"

He already had a deportation order that he got a legal stay because of an asylum claim that he would be in danger going back to El Salvador.

He will likely be deported very soon.

"This is a stunt on Trump's part to provoke people into burning the flag so he can call liberals anti-American while showing videos of burning flags.
If you feel compelled to burn a flag for some reason then go ahead and do it but don't have that reason be due to Trump lying about what am executive order says. You're just giving him ammo

Totally nailed it.

Who cares?

Good for them. I hope they have a long and happy marriage. Can we just ignore this now?

"Just 38% of AMERICANS..." Very convenient position for those sampled who don't actually live there.

I hope they have a wonderful marriage.

"They wouldn't arrest someone JUST for burning a flag."

Again. 100% 1A is not only the law of the land but it's absolutely awesome on principle. And I say that as someone who absolutely loathes flag-burning.

"Is what a choice?"

It's not. I didn't choose to be attracted to women - it's innate.

My guess is you didn't choose to be attracted to men - for the same reason.

My guess is most gay people are totally happy with homosexuality no longer being "fashionable". Just let them live their lives without celebrating an attribute they didn't choose.

#1 Elections have consequences

"SCOTUS already ruled on this one and they said that it was a violation of the first amendment to ban the burning of the American flag. This will go nowhere fast.

"What is cashless bail??"

Simplified - No bail required to be released from jail prior to trial.

" I always figured ------------ as a lonely old white dude, thrice divorced, who's kids don't call and he has no friends so he spends every waking minute cosplaying a conservative china man on a liberal political blog.

That is much closer to Twoothy than anyone else in this site.

" I don't judge people by what they do for a living or by how much money they make"

Same. As long as people are doing honest work no judgement from me.

" So that you can say Trump should seize control of the courts. Because cashless bail is atrocious.

What? No; I'm not saying that at all. He lacks the authority to do this and if he tries the courts will shoot him down, rightfully so.

" First Amendment gives the right to burn the flag. I personally think it's stupid to do that, but it shouldn't be illegal and isn't."

100%

Cashless bail is atrocious. Having said that, Trump lacks the authority to do this. This will get swatted down in court.

Was Major Tom involved?

She's illiterate. The education system failed her first and then gave her an award she didn't earn.

He can say what he wants. He has no jurisdiction to send the guard into Chicago. When the guard was sent into LA it wasn't to round up criminals. It was to protect federal property during a period of riots and to provide back up to ICE to carry out their work.

Removing it was overreach. If they want that mural they should have it.

$450 million. That's an insane penalty. Had the prosecutor kept things reasonable (judge too) this might have held.
