    Not that there is any real need but I will indulge you since you seem to be so ignorant......... I know you aren't ignorant, you are an intelligent individual whom is just trying (I assume) to get a rise out of me and get your fellow CR junkies riled up here in your pristine little echo chamber.

    This is a fairly long video that may not be able maintain the groups attention span. I chose this because he equally bashes Trump for the same thing you appear to believe Joe Biden doesn't do.

    Just a few others off the top of my head.

    • Vaccines are safe and effective
    • Covid started in a wet market
    • Masks prevent the spread of covid
    • 6ft apart prevents the spread of covid
    • If you get the vaccine, you can't get or spread covid
    • Uncle Bosie was a pilot that got shot down and eaten by cannibals (Recent Biden)
    • Rode across the Francis Scott Key bridge via train many, many times. (Recent Biden)
    • He saved 6 people from drowning while a lifeguard(Biden)
    • Joe Biden was a civil rights icon, raised in the black, Puerto Rican, Jewish, Greek, Italian, Catholic and polish communities. Which is is, It can't be all of them?
    • Joe Biden was once a generational athlete
    • Jo Biden was a Truck Driver(someone once gave him a ride in one)
    • Bloodbathgate 
    • The Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation
    • Alpha Bank collusion
    • Trump Campaign wasn't spied on
    • Steele dossier being factual

     

    I could go on but why bother?

    Your first post plus this one to back it up are really not good. Your point of Joe Biden being a piece of shit politician and bullshit artist are completely drowned out by comparing him to Trump, who is not a lifelong politician. 

    Trump is in every way incomparable to Biden on this front. Trump actually, on live TV that nearly everyone in the US watched daily to hear the leader of the country give an update on the life altering global pandemic that was happening said to inject bleach because it kills covid. That’s a supreme level of stupid we will never surpass and is a fair and fine representation of the standard communication and messaging from him, it’s not an outlier it’s the norm. 

    Biden has some moments in sure he has been caught bullshitting or pandering. He’s a politician it’s part of the game and he’s played it for longer than damn near everyone alive at this point, but you miss the point that he RETIRED. HE DIDNT WANT TO DO ANY OF THIS SHIT. 

    Imagine being in Joe Bidens position right now where all he wants to do is be senile eat ice cream and creepily smell his grandkids heads, but no some lunatic wants to actually name himself dictator so he has to come out of retirement to win an election with his mush brain to save America from itself because no one else in the Democratic Party can actually swallow the shit pill of being president of everyone, not just the people that voted for him. 

    Hillary Clinton’s deplorables comment is a good representation of why most democratic candidates put forward are incapable of doing what Joe Biden did. Joe Biden has yet to reject anything but the negative ideals that some people may support and hasn’t outright rejected any American in any of his campaigning, to do that in a country of 300M+ there is a requirement to pander. 

    I’d bet a ton of money on Joe Biden being absolutely fucking miserable, but feeling a sense of duty and responsibility to the country that he’s seen do so much good in his life that he’s going to fucking die in office instead of in obscurity with his family. 

    Joe was doing what everyone wants trump to do. Fuck off, but because trump is a piece of shit human and the biggest attention whore of modern times we can’t just have a normal election based on pandering and politics.

    It's a problem when the discussion is being led by musks Twitter algo because that's the only thing some folks are capable of posting in this thread. It's important to point out when people are shitting in the punch bowl

    Just tell them and move on. We don’t need a whole god damned thread derail or subthread within a thread about it. Regardless of the intent behind the people posting the videos the videos unless that are ai generated or are not from a campus/the national protests then they may be edited to show the worst but that’s just part of it. There aren’t exactly many peaceful images at this time.

  3. Stop being shitheads. 

    no one is checking their fucking twitter sources stop acting like your obscure fucking knowledge of who is a propagandist and is a shit poster in twitter is widely known or followed by everyone. 

    keep the discussion focused on the campus events. Stop the extra discussion, this thread cannot handle it because tempers are too high. Stop the ad hominem attacks on each other and focus commentary on the events that are unfolding.

  4. This thread needs to get back on topic. I don't have time to clean it up right now, but this is not a CR thread. This is about the national protests, their developments and the current status of them.

    @PRONG HORN your tweets without the commentary are fine so long as the message in the tweet is not politically related/doesn't add political commentary. There is nothing wrong with posting videos of stuff that does not represent the protesters in a positive manner, that's not what this is about. It's about tying that somehow to the election or any political office or candidate. None of that is relevant to this discussion in this thread.

    @HotSauce is on a vacation and if they go on another unhinged rant like this thread they are permabanned.

    Exactly why I avoid CR and generally avoid DT as well. 

    This isn't true - I think there is confusion on the argument here. Some people are arguing that there is justification in this because they don't like the content of the protest or the way the protest is happening

    It's becoming increasingly difficult to muddle through all the various hot takes about other places to find information about what's happening on OUR university campus. Anyone who'd like to discuss protests NOT taking place on the UT campus, please feel free to do so in this brand new thread.

    Thank you.

    I will moderate accordingly thanks for doing this.

    Looking to replace my Tesla Model 3 performance with another Model 3 performance.  When we got my wife's Model Y last year in March, I found a rate of 3.99% at US Senate FCU, which was at the time a lower rate than the 4.5% or higher I was seeing elsewhere.  Probably a promotional rate.  Love to find a similar deal, anybody seeing anything under 5% APR for 60 months with an over 820 credit score? Lowest so far I've found was 5.24.  

    Yeah dude, interest rates have been raised like 3 times since then...financing anything now is gonna suck.

    You sure about that? 

    I don't even know what the alleged illegality is, but you think it's a fine deal? 

    Paying off a chick to keep her from talking about an affair doesn't sound like election interference to me... But you think 12 people will all not have a reasonable doubt that it is? 

     

     

    Have you read the charges? It’s not gonna matter that he’s convicted or found guilty.

    I generally do not encounter these types, so I can't really comment. My proposal was just a theory.

    Watch the video above. They hide behind faux intellectualism and being alpha and in control of their own life/destiny to oppress and write off women and their opinions/rights as humans. It’s completely psychotic.

    Covid was an exogenous event and while we didn’t cover ourselves in glory in the first six months it “could have been worse,” as Greg Abbot would say. 
    The occupation of Iraq and de-Baathification, and the still expanding human tragedy we caused was entirely at our convenience, a choice. 

    We didn’t have a choice to make those billions of dollars. We had to do it. lol (kidding obviously)

    If you really want to confuse the jackboots, you should walk around campus with AR15s and insist you’re protesting for both First and Second Amendment rights. 

    This is too much for me, but that would be incredible. Pretty sure you can’t open carry on campus though.

    We don’t even know what all underlying issues could potentially lead to dementia - we do know that stress makes pretty much everything worse.  
    As for stress…fatfuck thrives in chaos - that’s not necessarily stress for him. But sitting in court with people talking shit on you all day and actual peasants (how he sees them) deciding your fate?  Thats maximum stress for this POS.  MOARRRR

    I’m curious to how they can even bring supporting character witnesses in. They can all be proven to be completely full of shit on cross rather easily. Trump is indefensible and they have him pretty dead to rights on the charges here.

    I sort of think that the current form of female empowerment includes being choosier about sexual partners, which makes the incel types furious. An earlier wave of feminism included "sexual liberation" as a response to centuries where being "virtuous" was a requirement for women and any sex other than with a husband for the sole purpose of having babies was frowned upon. Of course the latter end of that era involved women who went that route being labeled sluts and whores while men receiving the benefits were considered studs and players. I think what we're seeing now is a pushback against that era. Just a theory.

    I don’t think this is the case. Women haven’t all of the sudden become more selective. 

    some of you really have never interacted with the Jordan Peterson/Andrew Tate/Stephen Crowder types have you? It’s fucking brutal even for other men who aren’t incels to tolerate them let alone women.

    Yep, a lot more people would be motivated to protest by a fascist show of force on the UT campus than whatever the fuck is going on with Israel and Palestinians a half a globe away.

    Yeah this should turn into an unrelated protest called the “We will not be silenced under any circumstance” protest. It should remove anything off the agenda except first amendment rights being clearly trampled on and assaulted.

    Cops are retreating. Protestors are right on their asses chanting get off our campus. So the question, what does tomorrow bring?

    They are fucked. If they truly pepper sprayed and flash banged every student and faculty member and local grad/person who gives a shit should show up tomorrow. That’s fucking bullshit.

    90s baby. Also I grew in the internet era. Facebook was the big thing when I was in high school. I assure you “in person socializing” wasn’t & isn’t a problem. You talk to people everyday in school, after school, at work, etc.

    i think the point is a lot of people don’t. I think the porn angle is way way way overblown here. 

    I think incels, the rise of the andrew tates of the world etc are really what drives this. It would be interesting to see the numbers for the same age of women, but I’d suspect that it’s far fewer. 

    Chastity as a virtue isn’t increasing in society, but for some reason it does seem like promiscuity has become more taboo than previously when I interact with some younger people it’s pretty obvious. 

    I also think that if you choose not to participate in social media you have a really hard time not being viewed as a weirdo. I’ve seen this from all ages in the current dating scene now. If you don’t have Facebook/twitter/instagram you are a creep because they can’t stalk you.

    The tents are against the rule at all time unless pre-approved: https://secure4.compliancebridge.com/utexas/public/getdoc.php?file=8-1050

    In this case the tents are obviously being used to escalate the situation into more than a peaceful protest knowing they will get the police to show up to remove them.

    This is how I interpret this. A purposefully antagonistic disregard for a somewhat harmless rule to prevent camping.

    Well, from what I have learned from my reading of Surly, people will have sex in them.  Sex tents are the scourge of our time.

    This would actually be great if they were fucking in the tents.

    And the point has been that you can't arrest someone for a violation that hasn't actually occurred yet. Destroying a protest on the grounds that someone might violate a rule is fundamentally immoral and unconstitutional. 

    It’s against the rules all the time as everyone showed already, it’s not a bad rule tbh.

    Fuck Abbott. Fuck DPS. Fuck these protesters. Fuck Israel. Fuck Hamas. Fuck everyone who's an asshole. So tired of everyone looking for reasons to be assholes.

    If these fucking protests even hint at shutting down graduation, I'm going dress up in DPS gear and beat some motherfuckers.

    I think this particular instance there are no good guys. Everyone involved today is a piece of shit.

    Wow. Today I learned that tents = escalatory. Gee, I would have thought the riot police and arrests last week were the escalating factor. But no, turns out, it is Coleman.

    You obviously haven’t been camping in a long time. Shit is serious

    Look at the picture from today dude.  They made a lame little tent city and encircled it locking arms.   They could have easily protested within the stated parameters and chose not to.  It was a fucking strategy.  At least see it for what it is.

    Yep, fuck these people. They are doing the masked thing on purpose too. Really stupid that last week response made this happen.

    Is it? I don't know. If they want their board to be a place that makes hornfans circa 2007 look like Surly by comparison, I don't think I want to pay for that. 

    Sub pays mostly for the video and scoop content. Not for the board itself. 

    the board has a few thousand sign ups and most people who browse are signed up. The YouTube has 46k subscribers and is the main content outlet. The website is the way you financially support the video and editorial content.
