What's new

The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

You'll have to take up with the FBI your idea of the FBI being wrong about what the FBI considers to be a violent crime. The line "In the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault." that I cut & pasted into my earlier post is the very first line of the FBI's annual report on violent crime.


Do you think perhaps the FBI being mistaken about what the FBI believes is why zero arrests so far on college campuses have been for domestic terrorism? Is it possible that zero arrests on college campuses have been for domestic terrorism because there hasn't been any domestic terrorism to arrest students for despite what you think you can coble together from the internet?
No, I think it would be pretty damn extreme to arrest them on terrorism but what they are doing is terrorizing a certain ethnic group based off of their religion. Am I wrong? Do you really think these people that didn't give a **** about Palestine or a year ago really give a **** about the kids? I don't. I even said "Now should these people go to Guantanamo Bay? No but they are terrorizing a certain group who has dealt with these exact same tactics"? It is terrorism. My definition I provided was word for word. Let me ask you this... If this were Trump supporters, wearing red hats, showing up to schools to intimidated Jews with a MAGA flag. Would people be saying the same thing? I think it would be viewed a hell of a lot different and condemned and investigated for years. There is most definitely double standards in our DoJ.

"Domestic Terrorism

Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.

is breaking into buildings and vandalizing not violent? Calling for death to America? Criminal acts our own Representative kids are being arrested.

Are they not furthering ideolocal goals? Insurrecting building unless they get what they want?

Is this not political and also an assaut on Jewish students? They literally have to shut down schools because Jewish students are being marginalized."
 
NVMD... Ill address this in private. The only people that come in and add nothing are a few posters here that accuse me of trolling. As you can see, I am talking politics, these posters add nothing of substance but trying to get a reaction and bully.

I have answered each of the above directly.
  • Breaking into buildings and vandalizing are not violent crimes. They are property crimes.
  • Calling for death to America is an exercise of our freedom of speech rights. It is words. It is not violence.
  • The word 'terrorist' isn't a synonym of 'charged with breaking a law'.
As for what "these people" think, I don't believe there is a uniform thought. Some may care. Some may not. We don't prosecute thought crimes. It is all noise until laws are broken. When laws are broken then those criminals should be prosecuted, but I don't believe that raising the temperature by labeling protesters as terrorists is helpful.

Where we find common ground is I don't disagree with your opinion of there being double standards at the DOJ, and I've been extremely vocal in condemning that in the strongest possible terms. Where we don't see eye-to-eye is in the motivation for closing the schools. If the true motivation were that Jewish students were being marginalized or targeted, then why shut the whole school down? In the Civil Rights era when Black students felt marginalized or targeted, they didn't shut the school down and truth be told, those students were in far more danger than Jewish students on even the hottest of campuses today.

Were talking in circles but yeah, we arent going to see eye to eye on the motivation. I think there is a concentrated effort by powers to destabilize and bring down Western Civilization. I think there is a much larger picture and this is much more sophistically calculated by much larger powers. This isn't just than some stupid college kids, this is planned. I mean I hear about LGBTQ rights and stuff but Palestine literally kills and tortured commanders like Mahmoud Ishtiwi for being gay. These kids don't even know what they're protesting yet have a nationwide protest? Nah, I don't buy it.
 
Alrighty. let’s return to stuff that matters.

This is more great news! I’d like to see some of our small government conservatives on here praise this. Seems like the (failed) war on drugs, especially on marijuana, is something we can all agree on. Biden with more good policy!

Yeah, Republicans fear of weed has always bugged the s* out of me. I have no problem with this. I said the same thing when Trump signed the First Step Act that got petty drug criminals out of jail Or when he legalized hemp. Something the hypocrite Democrats didn't care for because it was Trump. Huh Thriller? Trump has always been pretty moderate on this issue unlike the more old school Conservatives. I will and have debated Republicans about their stupid fear of a plant.

Hemp Is Officially Legalized With President Trump’s Signature On The Farm Bill

The significance of this law change should not be underemphasized,” NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said in a press release. “This law marks the first change in the federal classification of the cannabis plant since it was initially classified as a schedule I controlled substance by Congress in 1970, and paves the way for the first federally-sanctioned commercial hemp grows since World War II.”

This is a couple generations overdue

It also does not legalize recreational marijuana on the federal level. Also, not sure how I feel about this:

“By rescheduling cannabis, the drug would be studied and researched to identify concrete medical benefits, opening the door for pharmaceutical companies to get involved with the sale and distribution of medical marijuana in states where it is legal”.
 
Engaging earnestly with a troll is like arguing with a moron. Eventually he'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Lol. Of course. Thing is, I’m not used to trolls writing book length tomes, doing that, at least in my view, requires an actual opinion, lol. After all, tomes require actual work and expenditure of time, another thing I don’t always associate with trolling. His long replies(yes, I too have written a tome or two, lol) is a reason why I believe he has an ernest side, and actually believes some of what he argues(OMG, is it possible? lol). And now and then, his ernest opinions intrude, lol, and overwhelm his mindless and self centered trolling, despite his best efforts to keep it simple and just go up my arse sideways, lol.
