Trump likely to use antisemitism claims to launch crackdown on US universities

[The Trump Administration]

You have nothing.

I have a list of applicable laws. What do you have?

I have the fact that opinions are not crimes. Please don't act stupid if you are not.

Thoughts aren't crimes. Yet.

Express one of the proscribed opinions publicly and that's another matter.

So, professors cannot be arrested for not being pro-Israel.

Is being pro-Israel a hate crime?

Then your last question was specious.

Then your last question was specious.

No. You cannot discern between an opinion and a crime.

Can't I?

US universities are bracing for funding cuts and investigations under the incoming administration, as Donald Trump and his advisers have billed them as an “enemy” and made them a prime target of their rightwing, anti-woke crusade.

In an oblique way, I'm posing the question to you,

Should we be investigating professors and universities that are antisemitic or not?

Abso-fucking-lutely.

 

[Hume]

Abso-fucking-lutely.

Why?

 

[Matt Dillon]

Why?

Because teachers have no business being antisemitic in America.
That's not going to work, no.
Our elders didn't go kill Nazis to have commie
shitlords come in here and do bullshit like this. We accepted The Jews a couple centuries ago.
If you wanna fight about it, we will take it to you.
This is America. Fuck off with your commie bullshit.

So, university professors do not have free speech.

So, university professors do not have free speech.

Not if they're onto some kinda anti-Jew bullshit in America.
Nah, that dog don't hunt.
Who exactly the fuck is it that wants to do this?

Not if they're onto some kinda anti-Jew bullshit in America.
Nah, that dog don't hunt.

So, you hate free speech.

 

[The Trump Administration]

So, you hate free speech.

Hate speech laws are on the books, you know.

Hate speech laws are on the books, you know.

Yet no university professor has ever been accused, let alone convicted, of the crime of hate speech. You have nothing.

Unlike you, I don't waste my time bullshitting. Refute what I say or shut the fuck up.
