Trump bans student protests

We should ban him from having another birthday.

Freedom of assembly.

It isn't legal.

He can't control how schools manage these things. Fuck this ignorant shitbag. Again.

He’s just rage baiting.

Trump operates on the basis that until the Supreme Court tells him not to do something, he will.

Ever wonder why there has never been an Emoluments Article in either Impeachment?

Trump is diverting attention from the real kitchen table issues.. namely grocery prices are thru the roof!

It’s part of the destroy all universities by April dark enlightenment plan.

Trump is Robespierre. Eventually the chaos will subside with his death.

I wish he’d ban pussy

You know, this sort of shit will fundamentally alter the college experience and that pisses me off. College is about speech, assembly, protest, organizing. He has no fucking right to put his malevolent stamp on an American rite of passage. God, I wish this asshole was dead.

Well, at least the Fascist dictator and whore for Putin said "thank you" at the end.

He's so polite as he attempts to shit on the Constitution in every conceivable way.

Who has Trump appointed as Soliciter General? He or she's going to have their work cut out for them arguing this through the courts. Hopefully, the nominee is as incompetent as the others. Does the SG get a committee hearing and vote?

They are just ignoring the court rulings R13

Not legal. Not applicable. Ignore.

R14. You’re smarter than that comment—this is utterly meaningless, and you know it. Don’t feed the bear. Nothing is going to come of this. It’s nuts six ways to Sunday.

Umm, the stick is withholding sponsored programs funding. And they are already actively withholding sponsored programs funding in flagrant violation of the multiple TROs and are preliminary injunction already.

NIH, NSF, NASA, NEA, DoD, by here’s NIH.

ElderLez, I've been a fan of yours for years and have followed your posts. (we've exchanged pleasantries).

Serious question: Do you see anything hopeful? Any suggestion for those of us who see none at all? (or are you as horribly depressed as I am at this moment).

Thanks!

I’m depressed. But fuck those fuckers.

[quote]r20 = I’m depressed. But fuck those fuckers.

It's the stress, ElderLez. Here...

He's talking about "illegal" protests, which most of therm are not, his point is moot.

Um…none of those cases involve basic First Amendment law. There’s no nuance there…and it’s much easier to enforce injunctive relief on a fast track basis.

The DEI EO impact on funding one does involve first amendment law. I’ll look for that one, but here’s Columbia being threatened with losing all of their funding over protests that are long since over.

First amendment ruling that is being ignored as I type.

(Doris, oh to be medicated!)

Just stop. Understand that “banning protests” is, inherently, a most basic violation of the 1st A and is the quickest governmental action to get full push back.

Isn't the federal funding appropriated by Congress? In other words, he has no control over it?

He's just farting out whatever he's paid to say. He doesn't care what actually happens.

DOGE is firing employees at the granting agencies who abide by the court orders by making awards.

I found my old gray tee shirt with the word "Student" and a marksman's bullseye on the back, from after Kent State.

r7, Never expected for Trump to shit can America's kitchen tables...

Trump took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic; and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same,” and everyday he and his administration attack it in the most brazen of ways. This entire traitorous administration needs to be dissolved.

[quote]Trump took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic; and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same,”

He didn't put his hand on the bible so it doesn't count, r33.

He’s a dumb cunt

While I an at it, lets round up the CRIMINALS who threw MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars worth of tea (in today's value) into the Boston harbor. - DUMP

I love how people are all, you’re so silly, this can never happen while it does happen

If my finger held a button that could kill this motherfucking Trump right now, I think I'd press it.

It is cognitively difficult for people to process new information at odds with how the world has worked for all of their existence.

You mean people have been sufficiently dumbed down that they do not remember their own history?

Remember the three modern pillars of slave ownership:

Keep them, sick,

Keep them stupid,

Keep them poor.

Stephen Miller running out of ideas. ‘’Let’s ban something illegal’’

Hope to hear of self inflicted offing of Yarvin-anti-dem-turd.

R42, try English.

He just threatening now, hoping that everyone just complies. The second Trump actually pulls the trigger, someone will sue for loss of funds

Right R44. And we know how Trump deals with lawsuits.

College aged voters will never show up in huge numbers to decide what kind of country they live in, so it's good that addled, criminal seniors fuck with them.

They still won't vote anyway! Roast them on spits!

What are you going on about R46? 67% of generation Z white males voted for Trump.

And this ban isn’t enforced by arresting young people. It’s enforced by bankrupting the University.

Absolutely psychotic.

Told ya’

Harassment and preventing people from attending class = not protesting.

Thank you for chiming in, indefatigable MAGAt foot soldier at r50

Hearing Trump’s latest excuses for taking Putin’s side after attacking Ukraine is just laughable and predictable. He’s a preposterous louse and I’m enjoying watching him hang himself in front of the whole world.

Where’d you go R26 and R29?

He has gotten away with so much, he's a convicted felon and president again, he has not been to prison at all, when is the law going to catch up with him? Oh, nevermind, it won't, let him burn it down, it's all stupid people will understand.

Get in line R38

How do you expel a student at a private university?

[quote]Get in line [R38]

I'm getting Murder on the Orient Express vibes.

Can Trump get away with this? None of us know.

The admin may have its hands tied or not as far as awarded contracts and grants. But future contracts and grants are decided on by the admin. Unless something is congressionally mandated—-normally..

I can see future funding not being made and instead a good American university like Liberty gets a grant instead.

Trump is throwing nothing but high inside fastballs.

FOUR DEAD IN OHIO

The Harvard chapter of the American Association of University Professors, as well as the national AAUP, have sued the federal government over extortion of Harvard. You can read the lawsuit here:

[quote]Donald Trump doesn’t give a damn about antisemitism. If he did, he wouldn’t be dining with known antisemites,” Yohnka said. “What Donald Trump cares about is power and nobody criticizing him, and he realizes that academic institutions are going to study his failed policies.

Letter from Harvard's president:

Late Friday night, the administration issued an updated and expanded list of demands, warning that Harvard must comply if we intend to “maintain [our] financial relationship with the federal government.” It makes clear that the intention is not to work with us to address antisemitism in a cooperative and constructive manner. Although some of the demands outlined by the government are aimed at combating antisemitism, the majority represent direct governmental regulation of the “intellectual conditions” at Harvard.

I encourage you to read the letter to gain a fuller understanding of the unprecedented demands being made by the federal government to control the Harvard community. They include requirements to “audit” the viewpoints of our student body, faculty, staff, and to “reduc[e] the power” of certain students, faculty, and administrators targeted because of their ideological views. We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.

The administration’s prescription goes beyond the power of the federal government. It violates Harvard’s First Amendment rights and exceeds the statutory limits of the government’s authority under Title VI. And it threatens our values as a private institution devoted to the pursuit, production, and dissemination of knowledge. No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.

An illegal protest is whatever Trump says it is.

Thank goodness for Harvard doing what Columbia was too cowed to do.

[quote] College is about speech, assembly, protest, organizing.

College is about getting an education.

The poster quoted above seems like she might have a problem with mature emotional control.

NOTHING trump has an any decree is legal

Can the RICO laws be used against a presidential administration?

[quote] Trump is Robespierre. Eventually the chaos will subside with his death.

Can he be made to suffer the same consequences as Robespierre?

There’s an outcome today.

He can't do squat. First Amendment.

The stupid; it hurts.
