Everyone knows Hamas has rejected offers from Israel.  

Israel has also rejected multiple proposals. 

Pence actually did what I'm advocating, take a proposal, and turn it down and move on.

If Mike Pence just voted to overturn the election, we wouldn't have had January 6th. 

Bad analogy

Makes sense. If Israel just gives Hamas the hostages, we won't have this mess. 

Bad analogy.

So close.....

The company you keep....

The article said it was Brown University’s corporate board gets to vote.

The tactic actually worked for all people involved so far.   I don't know if a no vote will bring back protestors, that's a question that remains.   But it was a peaceful solution that worked... for now.  If/when they come back, you deal with that then. 

Since we're doing a lot of guessing and speculating, I'd speculate that Columbia wishes they woulda done what Brown did. 

What isn't speculative is there was no encampment problem at Brown and Brown owes the protestors nothing but a vote of No from the board of corporate governors on their divestiture proposal.

Obviously a successful tactic in avoiding the protestor mess other schools experienced.

Speculative.

I mean, why don't more schools just give into mobs? 

No giving in.   They just vote no on the proposal.    Not shocked you didn't read the article.   

It's just the classic move of promising a vote on something.  No promise of a successful vote, just a vote.   Happens in legislature all the time.

because most schools with major money in endowments don't want to give up investment decisions to anyone for anything - it could cost them real money and real money speaks louder to TPTB  than foreign policy politics!

Wouldn't they just vote no then, and move on?

Idk why more schools didn't just do what Brown did, promise them a vote on Israel divestiture, if it passes cool, if it doesn't, cool.    Worked swimmingly there.

Iran attacked Israel on April 13th. Trump’s trial began on the 15th. Israel retaliated to Iran’s attack of the 13th on April 19th. 
I believe your comment above is beyond anything that be proven at this point considering the other events outside Trump’s trial. The attack and counter attack between Iran and Israel are far more relevant to the ongoing protests than Trump’s trial. 

 

And before Iran directly attacked Israel, Israel hit Irans consulate.  And before that... on and on....

So now it's right wing agitators and you're still blaming people other than right wing agitators.   Peculiar indeed. 

Also, pretty hilarious blaming college students for what the media decides to cover.   Is it their fault you spammed the thread at a rate almost 2x any other poster in the thread  with content about them as well?   

But not as hilarious as blaming shooting survivors for abortion bans.

no worries I'll wait 30 mins for you to contradict yourself again

His anti-vaxx stance was always the biggest red-flag.... there was a poll result (I'd have to find it) that found that once once voters who were unaware of his anti-vax views were made aware of them, Republican support increased and Dem support decreased.

It's one of the defining things about his political persona, and will only be further fleshed out as this campaign goes on.

I guess the theory was it would exploit the left leaning anti vaxers?   Hell idk what they were thinking because antivax is basically a trumper thing so it seems epically dumb

There was a lot of discussion about protestors in this very thread well before trumps trial started.

Breaking bomber by getting him to hand out his first-ever reactions to you and running up your score is just straight-up gangsta 

nah he's just stealing someone else's schtick again

"If a bunch of stuff that didn't happened happened by a bunch of people who didn't do the stuff that didn't happen, the people who didn't react to the stuff that never happened would OBVIOUSLY react in a totally different way according to my opinion which is also conveniently my argument"

could be a legendary backfire.   My understanding is Bannon was very influential in getting RFK to run and helping is camp pain get going.  

I wonder if MAGA is going to continue to use people's preferred pronouns

oh, wait, I'm glad it's not my argument that these folks are MAGA.
