@NewsHour Trash. Imagine having a ufc fight at the house of commons in London or Parliament Hill in Canada…its pathetic. Idiocracy.

BREAKING🚨 Trump tried to shut down a 24/7 protest flying an “86 47” flag a mile from the White House — and a federal judge just told his National Park Service to back off and read the Constitution.

The protest is run by a group called Accountability Now USA, camped on land controlled by the National Park Service near the National Mall. Their flag reads “86 47,” a slang way of saying “throw out the 47th president” — in other words, impeach and remove Trump using legal, constitutional means.

Park Police ordered them to take the flag down, claiming it might be a coded threat on Trump’s life. When the group refused, the government threatened to yank their permit for the entire around‑the‑clock protest.

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss wasn’t having it. In a blistering temporary restraining order, he wrote that “the government seeks to squelch core political speech without any articulable — much less evidentiary — basis for concluding that the speech actually threatens the life or safety of the President.” He noted that “86” has a long, well‑documented meaning in American slang: to get rid of, or throw out — not to kill.

Merriam‑Webster’s definition, which Moss actually cited in his opinion, backs that up. Moss found “compelling evidence” that the protesters were simply advocating impeachment and removal, and “no evidence” that any reasonable person would see the flag as a true threat.

The context made the government’s argument even weaker. The flag is red, white, and blue, covered in stars, with no images of weapons, skulls, or violence. It’s part of a continuous political demonstration featuring signs, speeches, and conversations with passersby — one sign even reads, “Kids, if your parents are MAGA, they love child rapists,” a brutal but clearly rhetorical attack on Trump’s support for figures like Matt Gaetz and the party’s QAnon obsession.

Moss pointed out that political speech is at the core of the First Amendment, and that the government can’t label it “unprotected obscenity” just because it’s crude or offensive to those in power.

The practical result: for at least the next two weeks, the National Park Service is barred from revoking the permit, forcing removal of the flag, or seizing it. The protest stays up, 24/7, right under Trump’s nose and right outside the federal courthouse where Moss sits.

In a twist of irony, the administration’s attempt to silence four numbers on a flag just turned that flag into a national story and locked in a court ruling that “86 47” is protected speech — the exact opposite of what Trump’s Justice Department argued when it indicted James Comey for posting seashells arranged in those same numbers on a beach.

This is what the fight over “weaponization” actually looks like on the ground. While Trump rants about being censored, his agencies are literally trying to shut down peaceful protesters whose worst crime is flying a legally permitted banner saying “throw this president out of office.”

The judge’s message could not be clearer: in America, the president doesn’t get to decide which slogans are allowed in front of his house. And as long as the First Amendment still means something, four numbers on a flag are more powerful than all of Trump’s tantrums about being mocked.
