The universities should reject those demands.

I’m sorry you feel a statue is more important than a woman’s life. 

Apology rejected, I don't feel that way. 

And also the Heather Heyer murder didn't happen on a college campus but facts have never been your strong suit. 

Nice try.  I don't think the universities should cave in either circumstance, and in both circumstances they did not.

I disagree 

In the meantime, I'm sincerely sorry this outbreak of non violent conflict resolution and antisemitism resolution so the colleges can get back to the business of educating people happened to you.   

I'll let you take that up with TigerLOLic, he's the one that said everyone agreed with the demand made at UC Riverside. 

But I'm against antisemtism so I'm glad it stopped. 

That you chose to have a different stance is a weird flex. 

Of course I admitted there was antisemitism in them.   Not a flip flop whatsoever. 

Sorry the peaceful resolution of anti-semitism happened to you.

The was a column in the NYT today about the Fed's efforts to unwind QE. It's going to take years to do without messing up markets. And it was pretty much a failure anyway. It bid up equity prices in a big way, and contributed hugely to the growth of house flipping and income disparity, so if that's all you measured success by the financial types can say it was roses....didn't do squat for the majority of the country.

Wow, that's crazy.  I don't have the foggiest idea how long it would take to unwind QE, that's really interesting and not suprising.  What I've always known is that QE is so so so so so much more impactful to the economy than something like a bill that purports to cost 3t even if it does inject a huge portion of that into the economy.

I never lumped him in with Seattle.        Same thing with Green Day.    

For me the Pumpkins get lumped into Seattle b/c of the Singles soundtrack. 

Their song on that album was one of my favorites at the time.

I would argue blaming 2021-22 inflation on Biden is akin to blaming things that happened in 2020.

Agree, there are a lot of other things that were happening, the pandemic obviously 

but people don't remember that QE was still happening all throughout the trump presidency and that's extremely inflationary to do when it's not necessary.  He brought in tariffs (that Biden hasn't removed).  

Trump actually pressured the fed to keep QE and low rates.  No doubt inflationary.  

Edman, do I remember correctly that you had a very extensive google document of the articles/evidence around the Mueller investigation?

^ thanks for posting that.    Seems like a long shot but worth the shot.  

I don't know if the two state solution part will work so it seems like the modified Saudi approach that is short of that mentioned in the article is more likely.    The one Graham says can't get 67 in the Senate.

Interesting it was modeled after the 2020 peace deals which I believe were the Kushner negotiated agreements, was he better at this than we thought?  Lol

Having issues with peaceful resolution after months of arguing violence is bad is an interesting way to go.

It's almost as if you were virtue signalling the whole time.   

Less so but McCain gave the FBI the Steele Dossier, they say Hillary did.

Other total classics:

it was trumps fbi that told social media companies that hunters laptop was fake before 2020 election. 

It's also trumps fbi that encouraged J6 rioters allegedly 

Another one is that Trump administration started the Mueller investigation 

Seems like an easy demand to meet.   Smart move by that administration to take the easy W.
