Without looking it up, can anyone tell me why people were gluing their hands to countertops?

 

Without looking it up, can anyone tell me why protesters were throwing soup on paintings?

 

I just don't think these kinds of protests move the needle in a direction the protesters want it moved. 

When I did it, it was an accident.  I just was not paying attention and next thing I know...stuck to another countertop!  

But I also think that was done as a Starbies protest???

The soup on paintings I have no idea and don't remember hearing about that one.

I totally agree with you that these kinds of protests do not help in the way they hope it helps/ 

Choate Academy is nuts!  Like, 65K a year for high school!

Oooooor... The stock has been massively over valued for years compared to it's actual market share.

I have seen way more of them on the road but in the end it still has to be a totally small % of cars that get purchased.  

Plus there is the EXTREME child labor issues.

American teenagers protesting for their right to vote or to not be drafted into war is hardly comparable to today’s youth protesting in support of Hamas/Palestine. I’m failing to see any parallels. 
 

That was my thought as well.

Disturbing the peace

Disorderly conduct

Vandalism

 

Can anybody explain why the cops can’t simply go in , cuff ‘em and haul them off? Also it would be for their own good. It’s only a matter of time before somebody snaps and just drives through them.

I can't.  I don't get it either.

Ha!

I don't follow that stock at all but what an a$$ kicking!

Maybe they have and I have missed it but does the Husker media team do anything with the recruits when they are on campus, sort of a "Day in the life" type thing?  I think that would be bad a$$.

Again, while everyone hates their methods, their key messages have been gaining a lot of support from mainstream sources. It happens without you even noticing. 

Of course it has!  It is news!

But is goes on a cycle.

1.  Nut jobs block traffic

2.  Americans block traffic to support Palestine and US government taking notice.

3.  Divide in America as many are upset with protestors methods

4.  Nut jobs block traffic

Yeah, as soon as you get off your a$$ and start blocking traffic. You can spell Sunni without "u" Teach. 

Ha!  Well done!

Oh look.  One of board MAGA's favorite sources committing a felony.  I guess this is what qualifies for conservative bona fides now days.

 

 

Ha, he go reported a few times and is not (sort of) trying to change it up a bit.

Agreed. I wouldn’t make that bet with Monopoly Money.

Hell no.

I suppose if it dropped to 1 dollar before the election and you want to go for a Hail Mary, but that is a big a$$ Hail Mary.

Regarding the DJT stock convo from earlier.

“One of the investors, Jerry Dean McLain, bought up hundreds of shares collectively worth $25,000. In the last two weeks, he's lost half of that money. But he is putting his trust in Trump. “I know good and well it’s in Trump’s hands, and he’s got plans,” he said. “I have no doubt it’s going to explode sometime.””

Jerry is betting on trump winning the election.  

Not a bet I would make with 25,000.  

I hope they keep doing these stupid protests.  The more people they annoy the less support they will get.

Or because the centuries old Shia/Sunni rift...

No kidding.  

But I am sure they will get it all worked out soon!

Cause they all know how lame iran is…

True, but if you in any way involve American lives in an unwinnable war, it only fuels the Republican drumbeat that the world is going to hell under Biden and none of this would have happened under Trump (lacking a war, they will do the same with gas prices).  The far left sides with the underdog, as they typically do, but it's not like they're fans of Iran or fundamentalist Islam.

 

I mean, wouldn't it be weird if there wasn't an anti-war argument out there? 

 

There's not really a "pro-Hammy" crowd as you keep insisting, but there is a growing willingness across parties and interest groups to stop Netanyahu, question Israel's aims, and support relief for the Palestinians. You want to keep laying this at the feet of entitled college students blocking bridges, much like you view Kent State as a frat party gone sideways. Again, zero people who think peace in the Middle East is as simple as a cease fire, but it's the one thing that can save some lives and chaos right now.

 

The classic move here is a calculated show of force to counter Iran's calculated show of force, followed by the kind of diplomacy practiced by two sides that want to save face without escalation, creating a long boring process where vengeance loses steam and everyone is free to ignore the root of the problem.

 

If Biden handles this perfectly, the GOP can resume its outrage over student debt forgiveness.  

These are all solid takes!

I think so far JB is dealing with it perfectly.

Oh man, that takes me back.  I can still hear the sound that fat red bat made when you crushed a ball with it. Booom!  With the skinny yellow bat, you had to hit it perfectly to not foul tip it and it just made a quick little crack sound.

Then after one summer the big red ones would start to crack so you would tape it all up and still use it.  

Man I miss that s#!t.

There is a wiffle ball field near me.  Basically it is a baseball field but the fence is like 10 feet past the infield. 

I think they only use the yellow bats but I am not sure, I have never seen the league teams playing on it.  I think it is kind of a hispter/beer league  

I mean, she is right.

Joe is also in a tough spot with some of this, not so much Ukraine from what I can tell but with Israel, there is a lot of protesting with that one.
