Things like this have happened before…


Ostensibly, the University of Pennsylvania’s leadership refused to submit and cower to the Trump administration’s threats of withholding government grants and other funding if it did not twist to its will.

The Trump regime argued it needed the lists to interview primarily Jewish faculty in documenting supposed antisemitic comments and actions on the campus in order to “protect” Jewish people and organizations. The government claimed that Penn’s resistance had been hyperbolic and radical.

I understand that Donald Trump neither knows about nor cares about history, but even this heartless sociopathic narcissist must know how triggering and insensitive it is to subpoena any institution for its “list of Jews.”

Trump echoed 1936 Germany and the so-called “Nuremberg Laws,” the antisemitic and racist laws the Nazi regime declared as “the Reich Citizenship Law” and “the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor.”

These proclamations codified the systematic persecution of Jews, which culminated in the eventual murder of an estimated six million Jewish people throughout the continent of Europe and elsewhere under the Nazi domain.

If you don’t like being called a Nazi, stop doing Nazi things!

    Oh. So, we’re outraged about this…but when he’s already labeling “leftists” as literal terrorists, we haven’t quite found our outrage yet?

      We can be outraged about more than one thing.

      What is your basis for saying no one is outraged about this administration targeting leftists? I’ve seen nothing but outrage.

        The fact that he is allowed to continue to do it.
        Except you changing it to “no one” is a strawman, that was not the claim. The claim was “we” which I suppose is meant as the American population preferably a majority of the population.
        Why are you acting like an apologist for normalizing the increasing psychopathy of the American society?

        I’ve seen a lot of whining and complaining online, and a lot of people desperate to signal that they’re the “good Americans.”

        If you were outraged you’d be doing something about it. You’re MUCH too comfortable to be outraged.

              You sound tough, Captain Discomfort. What you bench bro?

              Also, I’m Canadian. Not particularly interested in being a good American. Or any kind, really.

                  I have no idea what they’re individually doing or not doing.

                  But in the interest of national unity, I’ll join you in the most Canadian of pastimes: talking shit about Americans.

                  Fuck you, you American bastards! Fix your dumb country, you fucking hosers.

    why is he trying to find these people, is he looking for people potentially linked to isreal? it seem odd for him to be suddenly going after jewish people considering the circumstances otherwise. im wondering if he trying to angle them out for some reason.
