Leave it to a Slurper

I saw what you did there... :-)

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

They can't. I think burning is the proper way to dispose of a worn out flag. I assume there is some kind of pagan jingoistic ritual that goes with it.

Fifteen years in Iowa jail for burning pride flag

Among other things:

He was found guilty last month of hate crime harassment, reckless use of fire and being a habitual offender. The incident occurred around midnight on 11 June in downtown Ames, Iowa. Police say the crime spree began at Dangerous Curves, a strip club, when police were called because a man was making threats. By the time they arrived, he had already been kicked out by bar staff. After leaving the club, Martinez then travelled to the church and ripped down its flag. He then returned to the strip club where he used lighter fluid to burn the flag in the street. He also threatened to burn down the bar. He was arrested later that day, and told local media in a jail house interview that he was "guilty as charged". "It was an honour to do that. It's a blessing from the Lord," he said, explaining that he did it because he "opposed homosexuality". "I burned down their pride, plain and simple," he told KCCI-TV. The interview was entered into the trial as evidence against him.

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.

They can just change their mind. You know, like that Roe thing.

Lewzer quotes:

"Why Is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?"

"The country wasn't based on executive orders,"

"Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it."

For those keeping score, he's closing in on 200 since January 20th.

Too black. Too woman.

Scrubbed again due to weather.

Will try to figure out that sweet spot.

My guess is that any image not wider than 60 characters of text is fine. Just a guess.

Ah, OK, how about the one over here on Tor's post?:

Mildly disruptive.

Or the other image here on the Retort post?

#22 is mildly disruptive.

Launch rescheduled for this evening.

Does this image mess things up?

Not for me.

But seriously, could Redial or LauraMohr tell me how my images mess up the format.

I'm not entirely sure what the problem is myself, but I do know that frequently the page margins get messed up making it difficult to read on a phone. PC screens not so much.

Headlines are restricted to 60 characters. I'm assuming that is because that is what the normal page limits are, and to keep headlines all on one line.

In the body of a post, there are no restrictions. If someone posts a 60+ string of characters with no spaces (think STD with his "BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" nonsense), it seems like the site shrinks the font to fit it on one line since it can't word wrap it.

Posting large images does the same thing. When that happens, every post on that page winds up with a tiny font until the offending post eventually scrolls off. It really makes a mess out of the Recent Comments page.

Nice catch! :-)

Wow, its as if they just discovered the 10th Amendment.

Does that apply in a national state of emergency?

Queers for Palestine

Don't incite Censored to post another one of those page format wrecking Israeli propaganda images.

Vietnam War resisters in Canada

I think the Nobel Peace Prize winning, Nuclear Engineer, and Naval officer President Jimmy Carter pardoned them.

The orange rapist continues to protect Russia.

His plan to get the Peace Prize is for Russia to end the war by overrunning Ukraine.

I guess 13 got 86ed.

Launch was called off due to ground system problems.

There's plenty more :)

I think arrows work as well.

Why does Gov DeSantis apparently want to hurt bicyclists?

Because bicycles don't make noise and belch smoke like a manly vehicle.

His next move will be to mandate that all electric vehicles must tow a trailer full of burning tires.

SO only white people are qualified is what you're saying.

They also have to be men.

What ever happened to the threat of serious sanctions

TACO.

No OnE Is AbOvE ThE LaW!!!

Other than PoTuS.

58 characters? Nicely done.

It's odd that there is a character limit for headlines but not for the body of a post.
