I think it’s the influx of outside agitators and a growing list of “demands” from students, including divesting any and all assets in Israel and an increasing level of belligerence when asked to maintain free passage for students.

In addition, some of the protestors barricaded themselves into a landmark building and started damaging property. Hence, police called in & 100 arrests.

These snowflakes think this is their Vietnam. I’d like to see them drafted, THEN they might have something to whine about! And, to a person they’d be a conscientious objector or seek academic deferment!

You can tell how proud and bold they are…most of them are hiding their faces!!!

Comical bravado that any company cannot be seen to be capitulating to.

If the students don’t like the university, fuck off to a different one!

I love this post, 100% agree with you.

Was watching an interview with Michael Moore on CNN. He's from michigan and said Biden will lose every swing state because of his Israel stance and let Trump in. An absolute certainty unless he listens to the huge percentage of Democrats and changes direction on his policy.

OH MY GOD ITS ARMAGEDDON BECAUSE MICHAEL MOORE SAYS SO.

Just a quick heads-up for all of you . . . you do know that it's May and these kids are about to go home to mommy and daddy for the summer, right? Including if not especially the graduate students.

How are they wrong?

Incidentally, this is what MAGAs have been doing for nearly a decade.

But, yeah, great insight by noted political expert and insider "shaun_vids" (lol).

Oh, wait . . . he has a PATREON PAGE . . . my apologies, he must be important.

Because he's made the calculation that he can't lose pro-israeli support. That costs him way more than the pro-palestinian support.

It's a shame such simple concepts have to be explained to rabid, over-the-edge, foaming-at-the-mouth types, but thanks for taking it on.

Didn't Michael Moore correctly predict Trump's win in 2016?

So what? He had a 50/50 chance. He’s just said every swing state will go against Biden because of Israel? Not the same “prediction.”

Also — see above re the constituency he might lose.

There’s no “winning” on this. There is only degrees of losing on it.

Those who are left of Biden are trying to hold him hostage by threatening to withhold their votes, which is stupid. Those right of him are using any stick, not matter how small, to beat Biden with — every ill is his fault — because their guy used campaign funds to pay a porn star hush money . . . and then 38,294 other shit stains he’s left on the nation.

Can they not just be left alone and protest themselves out?

If they’d do that, yes, but they’re occupying public space, intimidating Jewish students and taking over buildings.

In short, they’re not content if they’re not making news, and what better way than to create it yourself by being belligerent?!

But the Majority of Democrats especially the younger ones are finding it difficult to support someone who keeps sending bombs to another country to blow up children. Maybe, just maybe, they'll fuck him over in November and just not vote.

There's a new political movement, apparently. It's called "MUGU" - LOL.

Marjorie Taylor Greene pushes to remove House speaker

Mr Johnson's support for a $61bn military aid package to Ukraine is one reason for the announcement.

I think one too many space lasers have hit MTG's head - most of her brain matter seems to have spilt out of the resultant hole.
