    I've been to a couple 4th of July celebrations on the National Mall. Let's just say that the attendance here doesn't compare.

    Look at you sharing a nugget from the alternative scum! Republicans Against Trump is running circles around catturd on this.

    Drove through LA on my way back from a funeral yesterday. If you zoom out from the three pictures of the “hellscape” you keep seeing on the news, I can assure you, the only thing attacking LA at present is sunshine and horrific traffic (see: a normal Friday). 
     

    Both sides of the media are posting a handful of zoomed in (literally and figuratively) photos to show the “libs torching cars” and the military “attacking” said “libs.” 
     

    Get off your couch and the internet for a while folks. The country is not burning. 


     

    Roger that. As an aside, you got a green check from the guy that started the thread with the title “Los Angeles under military attack”. That’s fun.

    ***** him. That ***** made an insinuation in the last day or two that he was going to start “taking his 2nd amendment right” more seriously. We all know what he meant by that.

    Kid is consistently extreme with his comments up to being “very pleased” with the idea of ICE agents being murdered. All the while imagining he’s got the high moral ground. It’s disgusting.

    Ukraine's effed

     

    Israel's about to get us into WWIII

     

    The Constitution's in quite the tatters

     

    Our own cities are under siege

    My confidence in American leadership has never been higher

    Spectacular post. You have really upped your game. Maybe now is the time for you to run into traffic. All my best.

    Yes. Because the knuckle draggers in Fla ran people down well before this. We and another couple almost got hit in St Augustine crossing on green. My friend was carrying (almost a necessity in that uncivilized state).  Fortunately, the maga didn’t stop when I gave him the finger

    Better luck next time!

    Russia is prepared to move forward around the world. 

    Conflict is about to happen in many theaters. 

    The big question is...what side will trump place the US on. 

    Russia cannot get out of their own way as it relates to Ukraine and they are going to move forward around the world? How do you imagine they pull this off?

    Yes, and of course the logic (a fascinating course; maybe Harvard Extension offers it online?) goes like this:

     

    - Harvard's code of conduct bans harassment and bullying

    - Calling for the elimination or forced movement of a people isn't necessarily harassment or bullying unless it is directed to a specific person

    - Hence, calling for genocide doesn't necessarily violate the code.

     

    Wow. That was fun. Shall we do it again?

    So long as you believe that’s how it went. Hard to believe at least two of those ladies lost their job over it. It all seems so simple and clear the way you put it.

    People like @JDHillFan would have us think that because George Floyd protest/riots in 2020 were Democratic coded they doomed Biden's presidential run.

    What is your basis for saying this? It’s a rhetorical question. I know you are just lashing out. 
     

    Since you are all over the place today maybe now is the time for you to share your thoughts on Jake Tapper’s recent reporting. Give it a shot!

    Hmm?

    You guys thought Elise Stefanik was the most brilliant examiner ever. That's where this whole nonsense started.

    I took a look back at that famous "gotcha" question and answer. 

    You know what? As a pure matter of logic, the Ivy League Presidents answered correctly!

    The question was: Would calling for genocide constitute harassment or bullying?

    The question was not: Would calling for genocide be offensive speech?

    So the logical answer is: "It depends on the context."

    - If @Doc some bar somewhere far away drunkenly calls for genocide of the white guys born in Buffalo, and he has no reason to think that I'd hear him, has he bullied or harassed me? Of course not. 

    - If he finds out where I live, drives up to my house at night, grabs a megaphone, and keeps shouting "death to the Buffalo white guys" for two hours, has he bullied and/or harassed me? Of course so.

     

    That is, it depends on the context. 

    Congresswoman Stefanik was given far too much credit here. If she wanted to know whether President Gay thinks calling for the genocide of a people is per se offensive speech, well, that's what she should have asked.

    It’s a shame this bit of genius wasn’t provided in time to save Liz Magill’s job at Penn. Hard to believe it cost her such a prestigious position even though she tried to walk back her comments. An unnecessary walking back based on this brilliant analysis. 
     

    A read of the transcript will show the questions posed repeatedly and at the center of the matter were “specifically calling for the genocide of Jews, does that constitute bullying or harassment?“ and “does calling for the genocide of Jews violate (insert school name here) rules or code of conduct? Yes or no”?  Why did you alter the comment to leave out Jews? You must have a reason for doing so. 

    In your lengthy post above you state:


    The question was: Would calling for genocide constitute harassment or bullying?

     

    This is a clear misrepresentation, as the hearing was centered on antisemitism on college campuses. The actual questions were (as shown in my post):

    “specifically calling for the genocide of Jews, does that constitute bullying or harassment?“ and “does calling for the genocide of Jews violate (insert school name here) rules or code of conduct? Yes or no”?
     

    You chose to leave out the very heart of the matter. You misrepresented what was said. You had a reason for doing so. 
     

    I was wrong about you starting the thread. My apologies there.
