Well, at least the United States is finally flagrantly showing its true colors.

Fuck Netanyahu and fuck the Israelis government.

The US is not homogenous. Trump won with less than 50% of the vote.

It's the 1/3-ish who now feel empowered to show their true colors.

Yea I think 30 something percent voted for him which was more than enough to get him 270 in electoral college, and more than majority of total votes

There is certainly something seriously wrong with a country that can generate that many Trump voters.

America is one of those "shithole" countries we've heard of.

when universities become nothing but businesses with shady figures behind the scenes i guess you get actions as crushingly capitalist youd get from a corporation. i hope for the students sake they lose this stupid case.

It's the voter's fault for voting for the Zionist candidate.

This is the recent election in a nutshell: Choose between the party that thinks about deporting you, and the party that wants to imprison you.

Remember, when you scare people, their reaction is one of the three F's: Fight, flight, or freeze. It's impossible (for most of us) to flee, and Democrats won't fight, so...

Glad I left that box unchecked on my ballot on principle (she ran unopposed) She excused a cop when he killed a kid by shooting him in the back a couple of years ago.

I forgot that this rabi was raising the biggest stink about the encampments and how he was in emergency meetings with admin about how the kids were breaking campus rules by putting up tents. He is also an adjunct law professor at the college along with Julia Reitz.

again why protesting is fake and lame

coulda gotten 400 lbs of roast pork for that price, or even less

go big or preserve your resources and don't go
