The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

The administration has not given students a consistent message. The rules are clear, their enforcement of rules has not been.. if the students break the rules, then they should face consequences and then be removed if they persist.

Students at UCLA and Northwestern have been rewarded for breaking the rules... Why? What is the point of having rules and why would any student adhere to them?

Overall, the only heavy handed reaction (and that's a stretch) I've seen was from UT Austin.

Adding : how does removing Hummus from the Cafeteria advance the Palestinian needs?
Hotwheels Hitler called out the Texas Rangers at the first sign of student protest at UT-Austin. And to think Abbott was all free-speech-uber-alles as recently as 2019 (when conservative think tanks paid to have ultra-right zealots preach their hate gospel at Texas public colleges). Absolute over-reaction, probably unconstitional.

The NYPD also overreached at Columbia from what I've read.

That CNN piece is bullshit. "How protestors are normally dealt with" is called established rules and processes.

The only thing that matters from the administrative is what the rules are and whether they are enforced consistently and clearly. Protestors are required to follow the rules and if they don't, there are established punishments and beyond that.possible expulsion and removal.

I support protesting, but if you move outside of the rules, it becomes civil disobedience. And you should expect to be suspended, expelled or jailed.

Now if you want the rules to be whatever protestors want them to be, you get what happened at UCLA.

The students that make an unsafe environment for students and faculty by obstructing or engaging students for any reason (for example, blocking a Jewish professor from freely moving around campus), there should be clear suspension steps engaged.
 
Hey, soy, I'm paying him to hurt you


Sweet sweet tears for the TEA!

I worked in a branch of law enforcement, and that idiot cop just opened up himself and his department to a lawsuit.

That is not how you treat a handcuffed individual who is being uncooperative with being moved. (The cop also put himself at great risk of injury).

There is sooooo much FAIL by the cop in that video.

🤬

SAD!!!
 
And the evacuation has begun.
10 days of something …
May 13-14 could be an important.
I just want this to be over.
 
President Biden visits site of never-built $10B trump project to announce his administration's investment in tech by helping a Microsoft development, specifically through the CHIPS and Science Act plus the Infrastructure law and ongoing AI regulation moves.
3.3 billion artificial intelligence data center by Microsoft that is expected to create 2,000 tech jobs along with 2,300 construction jobs.

WASHINGTON ― Six years ago, then-President Donald Trump hailed the "eighth wonder of the world" at a groundbreaking in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, for a high-tech campus planned by electronics manufacturer Foxconn.

But the $10 billion project fizzled, and the sprawling facility was never built even after homes were demolished to make way.
he wasn't slow in reminding them about trump's failure to deliver his promises:
"My predecessor claimed he would ‘reclaim our country's manufacturing legacy,'" Biden said of Trump during a ceremony celebrating the Microsoft announcement. "In fact, he came here with your senator, Ron Johnson, literally holding a golden shovel, promising to build the 'eighth wonder of the world.'"

"Are you kidding me? Look what happened. They dug a hole with those golden shovels and then they fell into it," Biden added. "Foxconn turned out to be just that − a con. Go figure."
rather than turn the area into a place of growth and plenty under trump, Wisconsin saw a loss of jobs: 1,000 manufacturing jobs in Racine and another 6,000 in Wisconsin compared to the gains seen in the Biden presidency of 4,000 for Racine and a whopping 177,000 for Wisconsin!

i would honestly love to see a bunch of trump supporters be read out a whole series of statements they're told were made by Biden/team Biden when really they were made by trump/dingleberries, just to see them opine on them. A reality check... those who honestly believe the shit and still congratulate Biden for saying it would at least be honest (if not very nice people!); those who trash the sayings, thinking they're Biden's, are simply your typical two-faced republican arse-kissers
