[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2502860, member: 2189"] Hearing Trump say that burning a flag should cost a person their citizenship and a year in jail is nothing more than one jackass's reaction to another jackass's action. Why take either jackass serious as nothing more than over emotional, unthinking little 8itches? On another note, that being the recent news about Trump talks with Carrier to keep jobs in the US, there should be true transparency to these talks and lets see what deals were really turned?
