Some good news:

I assume there's no chance they'll be extradited to the US and serve their time if they're convicted, but this is still really important.

Glad that didn't get swept under the rug

Have I mentioned how lucky I feel that somehow Mattis found himself into this administration?

Trump's going to fire him.

... and then the Military's going to flip out.

I don't want a military coup, but i honestly wouldn't even be surprised by it at this point

I certainly know who I would side with!

Thread about the judge who convicted Arpaio (whom Arpaio has attacked a "liberal judge") by one of the judge's clerks:

Remember when Trump called out Antifa after Charlottesville and the media pretended they didn't exist and/or called them "peaceful counter protestors"? Leftists in this joke of a topic bought into that lie.

Well fast forward to today, with the Washington Compost having to report on their violence and Nancy Pelosi of all people disavowing them. The morons went and rioted at Berkeley again and the media, to their credit, FINALLY reported honestly about them.

I called them out well before Trump did, but we were both right nonetheless. And props to the left for finally growing a brain and realizing condoning Antifa only convinces the public to be anti-left.

Literal Nancy Pelosi figured this out before leftists in this topic did. Good job, liB8erals.

Did Berkeley students wake up and tell Antifa to fuck off or something? You're a student there so you would know. Most leftist news (outside CNN, but they're trash) at this point has completely given up defending them so something must have happened.

Very interesting. I knew that the judge was appointed by dubya but nothing else. Thanks for the info

All I'm going to say is that if the feds decide to deport folks over this, the over/under on the number of citizens deported will be decidedly nonzero. Imagine how many totally legit citizens don't have paperwork because it was lost in the flood, and I find it incredibly difficult to believe the feds will believe anybody who says this given their attitude prior.

A college professor said Harvey is karma for Texas voting Trump. He somehow hasn't been fired yet.

More lies from the source of all deceit

His usual schtick, nothing interesting. Already got called out on a lie.

People like to pretend they have me on ignore, which I know is a lie because I know exactly who marks every post I make in these topics.

I bet it's Alex Jones

Alex Jones can't get fired from a university. He'd have to be hired by a university first.

I can't help it, I learned the block from George Michael Bluth.

I mean, the prof was fired because of the backlash, no? The equivalence here seems kinda bullshit.

At the very least, I hadn't heard of the whole thing until Jakyl posted that article, and at that point, what else is there to say? Played a stupid game, won a stupid prize.

Why would there be outcry for a no-name professor? Most people wouldn't have even heard the comment. But no, liberals should be expected to decry every single liberal viewpoint, while conservatives continue to ignore what major conservative voices say.

You should be outraged by any insensitive comment

One was a tweet from a nobody that most people didn't even know existed until this story, and there WAS outcry and the dude was fired

The other is from a nationally known conservative media figure
---

I understood the professor got fired. Meanwhile, Ann will continue to get work directly because of her comments (as she has historically done).

Regardless, yeah, no time to be an asshole about Hurricane Harvey. I didn't remember either story getting commented on much here anyway.

ty. i should've just ctrl+f'd "professor" but oh well.

The thing about Ann Coulter is that you CAN'T "fire" her. AFAIK she has no regular, continuous employer. She gets by on gig work with books, interviews, speeches, etc. All you can do is ban her from all public platforms.

(offiical predix: she will be banned from Twitter and FB within the next year)

"Can't be fired" is one thing

"Can't be condemned" sure isn't, though!

Just wait until TRUMPTV gets going!

Ulti lied. That professor was fired. In topics in other boards, wienerheads and liberals alike were saying fair, next because that was a really dickish thing to say and that's what people get for doing that shit on social media.

Live long enough and you may hear future historians recall the war between 4chan and an art collective called LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner.

Enjoyed this article and wish Wang would comment on it.

I feel like this is really not a good mindset to have and ends ends up doing a lot more harm through hurting or alienating reasonable people than it does good through condemning things that actually need to be condemned.

Tammy Duckworth. You didn't hear?

She was shaking hands with George Soros at the PPV last weekend, but then turned that into a choke slam. The NWO music started playing and she ripped off her blazer to reveal a Fox News t-shirt underneath. It was crazy.

And just to get this out of the way now--yes my comment is based on anecdotal accounts from my own experiences.
