There's a very short and direct line from the anti-semitic campus "protests" and the execution of this young Israeli couple. The killer even looks like a grungy, Marxist grad student or associate professor with his red kafeefe and stupid "Free Free Palestine" slogan. So glad we have an Administration who is clamping down on these student groups who disrupt Universities. These groups, led by people like Mahmoud Khalil, are nothing more than foreign sleeper cells - with useful idiot students. This is nothing short of domestic terrorism.

The only consolation is that his virtue signaling chant and Palestinian accessory is likely to land him the death penalty.

So, I don't think we're obligated to keep non-citizens in our country who support terrorism, terrorist groups, etc, but that's a much different sentiment than the federal government "clamping down" on students (citizens) who disrupt universities. I don't think we want the federal government involved in the private, internal operations of private entities in that way.

Then sketch the line out. Tell us about the radicalization of a 30 year old man by campus protests last year.

You think a board full of liberals aspires to create a totalitarian Communist society? Really?

It’s just funny that you’re screaming about “the left” while having a socialist as your username.

He ran out of free and guy variations. But I’m sure he’s just here for earnest good faith conversations. His early posts seem sincere.
 
We’ve talked about this plenty in the actual thread for the topic, it’s just that no one feels like responding to the Buckhead lawyer who knows zilch about what’s going on in Palestine. He doesn’t even understand the political movement he’s a part of, so I guess I shouldn’t expect him to understand anything really.

It’s just McCarthyism. Plain and simple.
 
As long as the right conflate anti Israel and anti Jewish, there will never be an honest debate. Nobody wants another Holocaust. I don't want one on either side. A considerable group of the Evangelical Right only cares about Israel because of their myth of a Second Coming where an essential part is a restored Israel. Most of those idiots have no concern or thought of what happens to the Jews on such a return. I don't want to hear them talk about protecting the Jews ever again. It's just another sign of their lies and hypocrisy.

LOL!!! Well…. Filtering information that didn’t suit your narrative had its’ benefits even if it didn’t make it go away.

Thanks for helping re-elect Trump last Fall.

Keep up the good work. We need you for the mid-terms next year!

@Rock is moderating for now and I believe considering other options. I have no access to moderator tools now, so might be a bit of an open question today while Rock sorts it out …
 
I am intrigued that the line between campus protests and a 30 year old murderer is bright when the line between minimal gun control and the multiple school shootings we have every year is so blurry. An explanation for that kind of logic comes to mind, but I prefer not to be so cynical...

You the books about them yet? Or are you choosing to ignore them and pretend that what’s being written didn’t happen?

Oh..Trump has 3.5 years left and will retain the House next Fall.

The left is doing more to help him than the GOP is!

Did I the books? Yes, I the books.

But Trump is president now and so my focus is how he is ruining the economy in the present while he illegally enriches himself. I understand why a MAGA acolyte would want to change the discussion.

That's fine as long as they corruption is transparent.

This is why Jummy Carter had to divest in his peanut farm, he wasn't transparent. No telling what kind of corruption could be hidden in peanuts.
 
Orwell2025 said:
Yeah…. I mean let’s be honest. If the left was serious about gun control they’d focus on the inner city gangs and the criminal element that exists in the population of 13% of America but yet are responsible for over 80% of all gun crimes.

They’ve got to worry about the legal law abiding gun owners.

GTFOH with that BS.

This is another reason why people are leaving the Democrat Party.

How about condemning the Pro-Palestinian terrorist?

Nah… doesn’t fit your narrative.

Where are you getting that 80% figure?

It’s wrong…by a lot.

World leaders have a huge new problem: Trump’s Oval Office smackdowns​



“It’s the new Hunger Games of world politics — the televised Oval Office take-down by President Donald Trump.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was the latest leader to become a MAGA prop Wednesday, as Trump lectured him on false claims that White South African farmers are the victims of a genocide.

… Trump’s dressings-down are a metaphor for a US foreign policy that is erratic, politicized and awash in conspiracy theories. As Ukraine and Jordan also found out, the more vulnerable a country, the more hostile a reception they tend to get.

… Ramaphosa knew what was coming. He was joined by his White agriculture minister in the new multiracial coalition government. Trump’s friends the South African major champion golfers Ernie Els and Retief Goosen were also drafted in. …

But that didn’t stop Trump dimming the lights and rolling out a multimedia show of right-wing propaganda about South Africa. “Death, death, death,” he said, as he displayed articles about the killings of White Afrikaners.

The question of more equitable land ownership is one of the most complex legacies of South Africa’s years of minority rule. But as Ramaphosa explained, there’s no systematic attempt to wipe out a community based on race or ethnicity — the definition of genocide. And most victims of violent crime are Black.…”

Where's Zen to tell us how race doesn't matter when Trump makes a big deal over white farmers being killed, while the agricultural minister tried to tell him it's not limited to white people. Want it clear that trump doesn't give a fuck about anyone that's not white.

LMAO…. So much drama.

Any thoughts on the Pro-Palestinian terror attack last night?

The man who killed those people, when found guilty, should face the harshest possible punishment. That is not the way to solve any issues.

Do you have any thoughts on Bibi not stopping until Isreal controls all of Gaza.
What should happen to the remaining people there?
