Not federal laws probably, but state and municipal busyness laws and they are not always easy to find out about. Federal laws are probably more obvious when broken and again Trump was used to breaking the law all his life without consequences and brought this arrogance to the White House with him. All other presidents were career politicians and or lawyers and were far more circumspect about corruption and exposure. What, what, what? You continue to "blanket" this. Pull away the blanket & give us a short list of his crimes................. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was going to ask this question yesterday but I thought. Nah, let's keep the fun going. I was thinking we should play a game of "you show me yours and I'll show you mine". But I think the right would win by a land slide with this game. I was wondering, ok you hear the left constantly say "the insane MAGA this" and "deranged MAGA that". But yesterday it hit me. That's all they have. They have Jan 6, which i agree with by the way. Those jackasses should all be punished. And they have the belief that if you love Trump. You must be a psycho therefore you should be silenced. I do realize that our individual YouTube accounts feed us shit tailored to what we already like. But I have yet to see something I could say, "damn look at what the crazy MAGAs are doing". Yet I can't be on YT for more than 5 minutes without seeing an avalanche of crazy leftist shit. So I agree with john, enlighten us with proof of the crazy shit the insane MAGAs are doing. Edited April 28 by IZRL 2 Quote Link to comment

How about you watch the verdict later and the charges will be available and bonus! it will also tell you all the convictions. MAGA have some of the weirdest people.

Sorry P, now YOU are WAAAAAAAYYYYYYY out there!! Has the President of the United States always had immunity at some level? Yes. THAT is all Trump is asking for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (see how my "effects" work here!!?? 😉). Trump is not asking for anything more. Trump wants to be treated fairly, just like all the others. Trump is NOT being treated fairly. Unbelievable. So it's only fair if they don't prosecute? Calm down, You missed the part about "when it comes to judging Trump's innocence, you and I have to agree to disagree." Trump is asking the SCOTUS to get him out of being tried for the crimes he was indicted of in NY, FL, GA, and DC. You flip out when I joke about JB sooting DT, but it's only funny if the shoe in on the other foot, so here ya go. Edited April 29 by paradime 1 Quote Link to comment

Is that not an official document? Are you in denial then? or you're saying it's fake? Looks legit to me. I was asked for a list of charges, there they are and more to come. We can agree that he is in court though right? we do share that common reality? to answer for falsifying busyness records he has (allegedly) broken? and it isn't going well for him as well, right? I asked you to not mention that name.... and post it in Destruction of Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm guessing that either his presence there would cause a disturbance or his safety is in doubt. There may be a clause in his contract that he signed covering this event. It's their call and probably defensible, at worst he can sue. He makes all Jews look like whiners. It's click bait. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not really. This is new in the sense that the left directly and intentionally created this monster who they thought they could control. They didn't account for the fact that turning young minds into blind dumb sheep meant that they would not only follow their ideologies. They could easily be swindled into following other equally destructive ideas that might turn the monster against them. Edited April 29 by IZRL 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Well, research student protests specially against VietNam (Kent State) and some political thing in Chicago.

IZRL Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 (edited) Schools don't lean heavily in one direction? One more example of many that are out there. You need more than one side of a story to be able to think critically about a topic. So here's a bit more data for you to chew on. Edited April 29 by IZRL Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 (edited) 12 hours ago, datzenmike said: Yeah I've heard that term a lot. Fancy term for do your own research then flip a coin. Not quite. Critical thinking applies logic and reason to question assumptions. It's a tool for solving problems, evaluating information, overcoming biases, etc. It's part of the Socratic method used in higher education for 2,500 years. As a way of teaching it encourages students to question their own beliefs, as well as the received knowledge of those around them, including their professors. In short, they learn to think for themselves. To our generation, these protests may seem illogical, ill-informed, and even dangerous. Right or wrong, to them, it's fighting against perceived injustice, and rebelling against that authority. If the protesters for Palestine are a mob of brainwashed liberals, is it bias to ignore that they're rebelling against the Biden admin's expressed policies? Is it an assumption that if you express support for the Palestinians (caught in the middle), it means you're antisemitic? Edited April 29 by paradime Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I read, see and hear stuff. My skepticism threshold is very low, most of the world is just bullshit. It boggles me the stuff people believe on here and that's fine it's just an opinion. Opinions are belief based on anything including not factual. But don't tell me the sky is blue. In my opinion you didn't look out the window to see, but watched the weather forecast on Fox. Quote Link to comment

The left may have made it worse but it was always there. You are correct that college level young people protests, have been going on for decades. Yes, they were intense during the Vietnam War & other times. However, today's world is very different, with social media AND the massive mess of our young peoples indoctrination, at lower school levels AND college levels. It is a serious issue, here in the USA these days. My issue regarding this mess, is how IGNORANT these young people are, to what is REALLY happening! They are blind. In my opinion, they are blind, like so many liberals! I know, I know..................you guys think we conservatives are "blind"! WHY do these young people have no clue, to the REAL history of the Middle East? Because it is no longer taught in schools & the majority of parents of these young people, are not teaching them either! I think the point IZRL is making, is that there IS a connection between the colleges (schools in general!) & the gov't IS REAL. These colleges ARE being funded by the far left ie Soros. It is happening. That said, HOW the schools respond, can be based on their left ideologies. I support these young people being suspended. They must be taught what is right or wrong. Protesting for something they have no idea about, is wrong. No disipline, they will never learn! I hope some of this makes sense! 1 Quote Link to comment

ALL kids are rebellious otherwise we would never leave home. They have been getting pissed off at what they see in the world around them because they are taught that good is good and bad is evil by their parents. Little idealists. By the time they leave home for collage they start wanting to change things, try to make them better but they have zero experience and it goes to shit because they have not learned any patience. Now this has been going on longer than I've been around and the human model has remained unchanged for eons so the Greeks and Egyptians probably also had this problem. That said perhaps the left as given them a shove but they did not bring about any changes that were not already there. You give them too much credit. I would say the the left is aligned with youth much more than they aligned youth with them. 2 Quote Link to comment

Although your reply is a bit overgeneralized, I get your point. I have 2 kids in college, one liberal leaning the other leans conservative. While they were in grade school, I gave then freedom to make mistakes, and I held them accountable with the voice of reason and the rod. I did my job well enough to have confidence in their ability to think before they act, and take responsibility for themselves. All I can ask for. IMHO, many corporations are evil indeed. Their money controls our puppet government. The slave market economy they call capitalism might be VERY profitable for them, but it's VERY bad for hard working young folks fighting just to stay in the middle class. Not say'n they aren't morons, but wether we like it or not, these kids will be running the show soon. 1 Quote Link to comment
