Burning the flag is a pretty clear indication you don't exactly hold the USA in high regard
Burning the flag is a form of protected speech critical of government policies and consistent with the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
Such political protest and speech critical of government is the highest form of patriotism and love of country.
Burning the flag is not speech. It’s a physical act.
um no it’s speech
Well then speak it
Speak the burning of a flag. You must commit multiple physical acts for a flag to burn. Go ahead and make it be on fire by talking.
speech is a statement...under the first amendment. It can be a sign, spoken word, an act, a t shirt, etc
Rudy didn't conduct an investigation. There was already an active smear campaign going on here in the US, and Rudy took the ball and ran with it by trying to get Ukrainian President Zelensky to make a public statement about some investigation that, as of that moment in time, no evidence has been produced that one even existed. Rudy (and Trump's) hope was to give legs to an American conspiracy theory that, as yet, no reputable American news service was giving much credence because it was so transparent that the people who were pushing the theory had an agenda to undermine a Biden candidacy.
If there had been a real investigation in the Ukraine, Zelensky could have gone along with it. But he didn't, did he? And why do you think that is? It's because he understood that he was getting played by Giuliani, and by extension, Trump, to throw a wrench into the American election which could very conceivably backfire on him and his country if and when others in his government came forward to say that there was no investigation. Then Zelensky would be left holding the bag while everyone else ran for cover. I'm guessing he had no interest is being a dupe.
