ONE bad man? Dude. C’mon.

In 8 years he went from C list celebrity/tv game show host to having his lawyers arguing in front of the Supreme Court that coups and assassinations should be legal. I’ll never fully understand it. Nor will I ever fully understand how the power brokers of the party haven’t stepped in yet to say “enough is enough.”

Maybe it’s been mentioned here before and I just missed it, but I’ve seen this mentioned a few times on Reddit. Seems middle eastern countries have a penchant for “donating” billions to US universities. https://www.thefp.com/p/campus-rage-middle-eastern-roots-qatar From 2015–2020, institutions that accepted money from Middle Eastern donors had, on average, 300 percent more antisemitic incidents than those institutions that did not. From 2015–2020, institutions that accepted undisclosed funds from authoritarian donors had, on average, 250 percent more antisemitic incidents than those institutions that did not. At least 200 American colleges and universities illegally withheld information on approximately $13 billion in undocumented contributions from foreign regimes, many of which are authoritarian.

That tabloid rag seemed important to Trump. Known media bias? Like Fox News paying over $700m to settle a lawsuit because of their election lies? That kind of bias?

No I never made that comparison.

Is this an example of the “media bias” R’s are endlessly crying about?

Precisely. Doesn’t take much for the algorithm to kick in and put you in an endless echo chamber.

TikTok has proven to be a driving force for Gen Z’s Pro Pal stances. Who runs TikTok? Who would want to sow discord amongst Dems and prevent American youth from turning out for Biden? Who would benefit from global sentiment turning against Israel? It’s pretty easy to draw conclusions about how China, Iran and Russia can influence folks here. We can pretend it’s only Boomers and Facebook memes, but the reality is the reach is far easier and more impactful than we realize. Propaganda works.

Imagine thinking this is comparable to the 1960’s Civil Rights protests.

Take it fwiw, but I’ve seen in Reddit threads that the pamphlets he threw in the air were about some conspiracy where Trump and Biden were working together on a coup.

I’m sure some did. Google is a big company. I couldn’t find any info about them thinking it was serious enough for them to protest over it. All I could find was this. https://nypost.com/2022/10/17/google-workers-joke-that-incognito-mode-is-not-truly-private/

Their selective outrage is also pretty telling. Google has been up to plenty of nefarious things over the decades which they apparently didn’t seem to mind.

For bar scene, O St is generally a college aged crowd. It can be fun if that’s what you want, but I’d say stick to the Haymarket area. Leadbelly’s and Lazlo’s are probably my favorite restaurants down there. For Haymarket bars I’d recommend N Zone, Tavern on the Square, McKinney’s, Kinkaider Brewery and Bierhaus Maisschaler. The Railyard with Gate 25 and Longwell’s is a popular spot too. There’s also a cool vintage clothing store in the Haymarket called “Great Plains Vintage.” They have plenty of Husker stuff but have all kinds of other pro and college team stuff too. For tailgating there’s places all over. If you’re in the Haymarket area you can easily access a bunch in the parking lots behind Pinnacle Bank Arena and into the Baseball/Softball stadiums. Roam around and mix it up with locals. Let em know you’re from out of town and it’s your first Neb game. You’ll get plenty of folks offering food and drinks. For the Game, I’d say avoid South Stadium if you can. It’s not bad, I just think other parts of the stadium are more user friendly. I’m partial to sitting in North Stadium. Since it sounds like you just generally appreciate college football, I’d say get to your seats early enough to catch the pregame stuff with the band and so you can see the tunnel walk.

Sorry man, but there’s not. Simping for a terrorist organization that wants to eradicate all Jews and infidels from Earth isn’t the same as a lunch counter sit in from the 60’s. Shaping the conversation with slanted views and deliberately misleading social media propaganda isn’t terribly helpful. Of course politicians with no true skin in the game or consequences can make empty requests for a ceasefire. Has any of it worked? Is it a good faith effort or is it empty political posturing? Do they really think there’ll be one or are they just getting a sound bite on record? Did Hamas see San Francisco’s City Council resolution for a ceasefire and say to themselves “Guys, this is what we’ve been waiting for. After millenia of fighting and killing, some nameless faceless politicians from thousands of miles away says we should stop.” Hamas has repeatedly said they’ll never stop committing Oct 7th’s. How can anyone think a ceasefire is a reasonable request when that is one side of the bargaining table? It’s a lazy and unserious position. I disagree. If they don’t know the difference or need it painstakingly explained to them, then that tells me all I need to know about their position and that they aren’t serious people. Ultimately I think we can just agree to disagree on this.
