The DUmpster / Re: Nancy Pelosi slammed Katy Tur just now.
« Last post by SVPete on Today at 09:22:52 AM »
So did Pelosi give any good answers, or is this DU thread just to celebrate her "slamming" a dissenter?

EDIT: I just watched the clip. If anything, it was the other way around; Tur staggered Pelosi with that point.

The TL;DR version of the segment is that Pelosi had been hot-airing about Trump having lost millions of jobs during his Presidency. Then Tur kind of quietly, almost hesitantly, dropped the truth bomb that there had been a pandemic. That contextual truth that exposed Pelosi's deception-by-omission is why Pelosi called Tur a "Trump Apologist".

It would be interesting to see graphs of unemployment for blue states that shut down hard and long vs. red states that shut down briefly if at all. Painting with a broad brush, I would expect the latter to have suffered fewer losses (percentages, not pure numbers, of course) and to have recovered more quickly.

The DUmpster / A MAGA wearing camouflage

A MAGA wearing camouflage
I stopped at Dunkin" Donuts this morning and saw a guy dressed in camouflage colored pants and shirt and wearing a red MAGA hat. I guess he is all ready for Civil War 2.0.

The purpose of camouflage wear is to make one less visible. It's effective in jungles, but in a suburban setting it makes you stand out as though you were wearing a clown costume.

I wondered where he was going. No one goes to work dressed like that except for military personnel, and no soldier would wear a field uniform with a MAGA hat. Maybe he was going home to do, ... whatever it is MAGAs do at home. Then again, this is a fairly liberal neighborhood and he may have been on his own little "reconnaissance mission."

Whatever. Everyone at Dunkin' Donuts looked at him and then turned away. I'm sure that many shared my thought that he may have been armed, or had an assault rifle in his car. -- Do you suppose we'll ever get back to being a country that doesn't have far too many potentially dangerous assholes roaming among us?

The schools let this get out of hand. All the students involved in violent or destructive behavior or anti-Semitic behavior should be expelled. if they are foreign exchange students, they should be deported. This whole thing needs to be investigated and find out who is supporting it financially and they should be prosecuted.

Faculty who is prompting these students to do this should also be fired and held accountable. The management of the schools need to be held accountable and federal funding needs to be stopped.

Cuddling these protesters only makes them boulder. They’re just spoiled children and they need to be taught a lesson and the outside agitators need to spend time behind bars and maybe get hit over the head with a couple

Most of those jobs (56%) would return before Trump left office.

Amazing. Imagine calling 56 percent of anything "most" of it.

Keep 56 percent of your paycheck and you keep 'most' of it?

A massive explosion happens in a neighborhood, and 44 percent of those in the neighborhood are killed, and that means 'most' survived?

Unreal.

NYPD release video showing professional 'protest consultant' at Columbia University

The New York City Police Department released a video showing a professional "protest consultant" who was seen on other social media videos instructing a mob of anti-Israel agitators as they took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University overnight Monday.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams spoke about outside agitators during a press conference Tuesday evening.

"What should have been a peaceful protest, it has basically been co-opted by professional outside agitators. We were extremely cautious about releasing our intel information because our goal was to ensure the safety of the students, the faculty, and without destruction to property," Adams said. "We have sounded the alarm several times before about external actors who attempted to hijack this private protest."

Adams and members of his administration shared information about the outside actors who were creating "serious public safety issues" at the protests.

Meet Lisa Fithian. Professional agitator.

Arrested Emory U. Prof. No Victim Despite Leftist Outrage, Admitted She Hit Cop While He Was Subduing Another Rioter

In any movement started by the radical left, a key component to fanning the flames and keeping the masses fired up is to turn someone involved in it into a symbol, someone who will serve as an example of why they must keep up the fight and see the “mission” through.

We saw it, for instance, with the Occupy Wall Street protests where people in wheelchairs were purposely put in the front rows of protest lines.

The latest incarnation of OWS, the anti-Israel demonstrations, is very similar in nature, as Professor Jacobson pointed out in a recent Fox News interview.

And during one such demonstration that took place this week in Georgia, the anti-Israel left found their next symbol, an economics professor from Emory University whose Thursday arrest was caught on tape by CNN, something that instantly turned her into a progressive icon among anti-Israel activists and their coddlers in higher education.

In a shortened video clip shared to the Twitter machine and which has been viewed nearly eight million times as of this writing, we see Professor Caroline Fohlin telling a police officer to “stop it” in the middle of a campus protest as the officer tells her to “get down” as he is about to arrest her. She continues to refuse to get on the ground, so he maneuvers her there himself, and soon after is assisted by another officer while Fohlin claims her head hit the concrete.

During her arrest, Fohlin is heard yelling “I’m a professor!”

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

NYPD begins sweep of occupied Hamilton Hall, arrests protesters

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Updated on April 30 at 9:51 p.m.

The New York Police Department arrested protesters outside occupied Hamilton Hall at around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening. One contingent of officers approached the admissions office entrance, where they pushed protesters to the ground and slammed them with barricades.

Another group approached the main entrance, arresting protesters who had formed a human chain outside the doors. Officers threw down the metal and wooden tables and shattered the glass on the leftmost doors of Hamilton to enter the building.

One protester lay on the ground in front of Hamilton unmoving as police officers stood over them. Three officers then carried the individual away from the building.

Students yelled “shame” as officers gathered around the front entrance of the building, and chants of “NYPD, KKK, IOF, they’re all the same” arose.

Police have arrested protesters near Hamilton Hall.
