It’s Monday…
President Shitshow’s public schedule for…
This is usually when I toss in a snarky comment or two about how we have no idea what EO(s) he’s gonna sign. But today? No mystery. Cosplaying Press Barbie proudly announced—with her whole chest—that President Anti-Constitution will be signing an EO to violate said Constitution by criminalizing flag burning.
🚨 TODAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE: President Trump to crack down on flag burning, desecration with executive orderhttps://t.co/FJ4jznYEJi

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Monday cracking down on suspects who desecrate the American flag, including burning it, by mandating they face prosecution, Fox News Digital exclusively learned.
“The American flag is the most sacred and cherished symbol of the United States of America, and desecrating it is uniquely and inherently offensive and provocative. It is a statement of contempt and hostility toward our Nation, and an act used by groups of foreign nationals calculated to intimidate and threaten violence against Americans,” a fact sheet on the order provided to Fox News Digital reads.
The executive order will direct the attorney general to prosecute those who violate laws “in ways that involve desecrating the flag,” and to pursue litigation that would clarify the scope of the First Amendment as it relates to flag desecration. The order additionally directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to refer flag desecration cases that violate state and local laws to appropriate local authorities.

The order directs the attorney general and secretary of homeland security to deny, prohibit, terminate, or revoke visas or other immigration permits and benefits of a non-citizen “wherever there has been an appropriate determination that flag desecration by foreign nationals permits the exercise of those remedies under applicable law,” according to the fact sheet.

Let me be clear: criminalizing dissent is not patriotism, it’s authoritarianism. And I refuse to pretend otherwise.
Trying something a little different today—quick hits. I’ll drop the tweet or “Lies Social” post, a tiny explainer, and a link if you want the full horror show. Hoping this makes me faster at writing and easier for you to actually get through without falling asleep.
He isn’t wrong, he’s not paying a dime for Intel’s stock; the US tax payer is paying many dimes for it…
Intel said on Friday:
This morning’s front-runner to maybe replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Kevin “I’m an asshat” Hassett, defended the government taking over a private company. And don’t worry—Intel won’t be the only one!
CNBC: So we should expect the US government to be taking more equity stakes in businesses around the country?

But But But Obama, is what MAGA is saying regarding this government ownership of a private company.
I found this timeline from USA TODAY (12/03/2013) with short noted on when the bailout of GM started and when the government sold off the last of GM’s stock. It’s not an in depth dive, it’s just short notes.
The start date is 12/19/2008; when President Bush was wrapping up his term in office.
The end date is 12/09/2013; when President Obama was just one year into his second term in office.
During the signing of the unconstitutional EO, President My Brains are Shit, said things.

In Beverly Hills, California, the rich folks just leave their trunks and doors open so the thieves can just steal things without damaging their cars…
Trump: Trump: Beverly Hills- I have friends, they leave their trunk open for their car because they know they will be vandalized. They don't want the trunk ripped off in order for them to steal what's in the back. They leave the doors open when they steal the radio or whatever… pic.twitter.com/pGgTRdvSuS
