First CA banned the American flag in schools, now democrats are trying to put a guy in jail for flying his Trump flag... In his own yard. A Democrat complained that the guy had a Trump flag up, which he claims violates a town ordinance and the homeowner faces a 2000 fine and jail time if he doesnt take it down. What a great, "free" country. I hope the guy takes this to SCOTUS.

No great fan of things like this, but if he really is violating a town ordnance then he shouldn't get butt hurt about it......unless of course the town is engaging in selective enforcement.

Look, he was ticketed for violating the borough ordinance (and, repeatedly, according to the article). The same thing would've happened if he'd put up Feel the Bern signs.

Two people who hate the 1st Amendment. Any more? And how is truth "clickbait?"

Really? How many other people in that town do you think have signs up right now for other candidates and have not been prosecuted?

you should be. reasonable rules and ordinances are what keeps a standard in your neighborhood.

But I'll bet he know how to use CAPITAL letters when he writes/types unlike some know-it-all !

There was a valid point to be made here but it was made in a failed way.
