    Is there actual confirmation of the university signing onto this?

    There won't be until the administration feels the public opposition has died down enough and they'll try to slide it through on a Friday afternoon.

  2. Again, the vast majority of Americans have zero idea this is going on.

    I know it’s easy to be cynical, but MOST people do not approve of this shit.

    Republicans are giving Democrats a prime opportunity to turn public opinion against the party.  It’s up to Democrats to figure out how to get this stuff into the mainstream.

    I'm not under the delusion of that being a possibility I'm saying that overall Americans don't really put up with that bullshit and the vocal minority are filled with idiots not with smart people who are sadistic 

    Call me crazy, but two weekends of ads during football games featuring the most brutal ICE clips with the Star Spangled Banner playing in the background could essentially cripple the entire operation.

  4. Dems need to go scorched earth on ICE.  Toxify it to the point of dissolution.  Basic immigration policies are a winner for Republicans.  This shit is not.  Republicans are giving Democrats a real Icarus moment here, should they choose to capitalize.  Get people on Rogan who will show these clips.  Swallow your pride and stroke Theo Von's ego a bit with the shit they pulled and make him feel important speaking out against it.  For every tv station that plays an ICE recruitment ad, follow it with a "is this what you really want to join?" ad.  Fuck, get Bad Bunny to have clips of ICE dragging mothers and children away playing behind him during the Super Bowl performance.

    ICE's current behavior is something that only the FAR FAR right supports, yet Democrats are allowing Republicans to control the message.  ICE does not represent immigration control, it represents racist and unaccountable bullies. 

    Do not let voters say that they haven't seen the footage: make it ubiquitous.

    No? Is that an evidenced reoccurring issue with verified sources/reporting? Doesn’t seem like it.  Do I believe there are isolated cases of people impersonating ICE or other law enforcement to break the law? Most certainly, and those people are criminals and should punished accordingly. People have been impersonating police to commit crimes for decades. You want to round those people up for imprisonment or worse, I’ll get in line to help. 

    I don’t know much about proud boys, but just so you know, when you use the term Nazi in any unverified claim or question/statement, reasonable people will generally tune you out. If you want to have a healthy discussion on facts and issues, I’d leave out the hyperbole. It’s akin to me calling all liberals communists; it’s disingenuous and lazy.

     

    I wish my brain worked like this.  Just completely incapable of drawing the difficult conclusions, despite being presented with more than enough evidence to do so.

    Do I believe there are isolated cases of people impersonating my favorite football team to embarrass our university on a national stage?  Most certainly, and those people are criminals and shouldn't be allowed to leave Gainesville after this weekend.

    Forget about the strategy. Graham Platner is a great example of what I mean about music over words. He hears the music. 

    People decide who they are voting for and then retroactively apply reasoning to that choice.  It seems sophomoric to boil it down to this, but we really just need candidates with better "vibes" and mass appeal.

    If this were a novel, this would be the beginning of a powerful insurgency called the “Gnats” targeting those in power.

    In real life, this will not be a story by sunrise.

    The one play where Kobe Black fell down and Jelani McDonald did his best Frankenstein impression trying to tackle their WR should go down in Longhorn history as equally embarrassing as the Crabtree TD play. I thought a Texas team tackling that poorly was behind us.
