  1. There’s no asking for exiting law to be enforced‘ in that statement, nor was there the last time you posted it.
  2. Let’s play your game. Do you have a quote of the President actually asking for exiting law to be enforced?
  3. I’ve never claimed Private Schools make people soft. Take that up with whoever did.
  4. Which is not at issue. The First Amendment does not say what protests are or are not permitted. It does deny the Government, the President included the power to legislate or otherwise inhibit free speech. Gitlow v. New York (1925)
  5. Yes I do know there are activities that are themselves illegal. And you are correct, the courts decide.
  6. No he didn’t simply say ‘illegal protests’. You obviously are able to defend what he did say, hence truncating it to two words.
  7. You’re letting your imagination run away with you. But if personal attacks from behind your own keyboard give you a sense of something you value or need in life, then who am I to object?!
  8. “He's threatening to withdraw federal funding from universities that allow illegal protests.” From the OP: Donald Trump has escalated his stance against pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses, threatening to withdraw federal funding from universities that allow what he terms "illegal protests."”
  9. Again, that’s a matter for the courts. It is not matter for Presidential edict.
  10. From the OP: “Donald Trump has escalated his stance against pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses, threatening to withdraw federal funding from universities that allow what he terms "illegal protests."”
  11. Well I don’t believe protestors should be allowed to break the law. But I also don’t support the idea of a President declaring ‘protests illegal’. That’s a matter for the law and the courts.
  12. Well that and Trump abandoning the US allies in favor of the war aggressor Putin.
  13. I wonder then how you know what they won’t come out and admit? The people of Palestine have a home, it’s called Palestine. There is no need to make refugees of these people. https://www.dw.com/en/which-countries-recognize-palestinian-statehood/a-69168152
  14. Not at all disingenuous. Trump has stated he will withhold all federal funding from, to quote the OP: This will undoubtedly wind up in the courts. So wondering what Trump’s definition of ‘illegal protests’ is far from ‘disingenuous’. There are after all already laws in place that address violence, undue obstruction, trespass etc. All of which are enforceable by police and the courts, not by universities.
  15. I wonder what constitutes an ‘illegal protest’?
  16. Are you mistaking professors marking students work and students receiving their marks as something else?
  17. I’ve lived and worked in the ‘Arab World’, I’ve never once come across any expression of this ‘universal dislike’ of Palestinians. That despite opinions on that particular part of the Middle East being frequently expressed.
  18. Once again the devil is in the details. Already failing businesses fail.
  19. If not Musk then any of the other billionaires and corporations that funded and back Trump. What is unfolding is the very same set of tactics used by the US Government in service to the oil industry over the past 130 years. The U.S. now needs rare earths, Trump is engaging in the same tactics previously used to secure access to oil and gas. This ultimately included deals to support tyrants in exchange for access to oil, bribery, corruption, forced regime changes and wars. So here we go again, Ukraine, Canada, Greenland - minerals and specifically rare earths.
  20. This isn’t a thing in the UK or indeed Denmark: https://www.abi.org/feed-item/health-care-costs-number-one-cause-of-bankruptcy-for-american-families
