"certainly"

A "hypothetcial"?

That escalated quickly. Now I “diddled with students

Oh my!
You've chosen to elevate a 100% hypothetical to some sort of personal accusation?

Ponder that for a moment. Now ponder it again. Was your response appropriate ... for you?


Now then, how about considering the hypo less personally.

The mental gymnastics to justify your allegiance to Russia is pretty impressive.

Oh get off it!!
Good Lord!

The analogy is ... As a teacher, we told you that diddling with your students was forbidden within OUR SET OF LAWS. Yet you diddled with them anyway. So there is a price to pay.

quote:

---

“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,”

---

I agree wholeheartedly. Also no private university should expect taxpayer funding regardless of curriculum and/or gargantuan endowment. Ditto for tax exemption. Yet here we are.

I wasn't at the negotiating table, any more than you were.

So you're just repeating a narrative that you've been told

The 2000 Camp David Summit is fairly well documented. Do you consider it part of a "narrative"?

they still have chairman mao's body on display in beijing. i tried to see it but was denied entry because i had a camera. meanwhile every chinaman with a cell phone was allowed in. oh well.

No one was taking pictures when I was there. Same with Ho Chi Minh.

Congress will have to grow a set and raise the retirement age and probably means test. I really think Bush 43 had a good idea that some small portion could be invested in the stock market in a some sort of broad index fund.

---

All reasonable stuff. But the Congressional target will be raising the payroll tax and eligibility age.

The government borrows money by offering lenders an IOU debt obligation ... bonds, notes T-bills. Rates offered on those instruments are determined by supply-demand. The fact that every penny of SS contributions are immediately converted to IOU debt obligations (Which at this stage exceed SS outlays $2T) means that is $2T less the government has to borrow on the open market. In turn, the supply-demand equation shifts so that government can borrow at lower rates. That was the intent of SS since its inception in the 1930's. It has always been a government borrowing program marketed as a retirement benefit

Anything pulling money out of SS (e.g., W's index fund, buyout/shutdown, privatizing, etc) runs counter to the premise.

You asked how a person unrelated to Khalil made her way into the thread. I responded that it happened the same way an event unrelated to Khalil made its way into the thread.

---

What a bizarre answer. :confused: :confused: :confused:


Oct 7th "made its way into the thread" because the grotesque, hate-filled, antisemite, whom you seem to be defending, put it there --- square in the crosshairs. Khalil said “The act of Palestinian resistance on October 7, known as the Al-Aqsa Flood, breached Israeli security and made significant military advances,” adding that it was “a day that will go down in history.” He's issued not one word of condemnation for the deaths of innocent kids, the rapes, the immolation of families in their dwellings, or the kidnappings which occurred.

His good friend and CUAD co-leader said “Zionists don’t deserve to live” and “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.” It was a threat which received no condemnation from Khalil, whatsoever. NONE! At the same time, CUAD was freely referring to any identifiable Jews on campus as "Zionists."

Did you catch that?
You have no problem with it?

So in the process, Jewish students at CU have been threatened, harassed for their faith, spat on, impeded from accessing facilities. and physically assaulted by Khalil's hate-filled antisemitic group. In the meantime, Khalil holds up his hands like Baghdad Bob, denying involvement in or endorsement of violence .... which for a praiser of Oct7th (among other things) is obviously farcical. There is plausible deniability, and there is implausible deniability. Khalil's is the latter. He's the David Duke of Campus Anti-Jewish Groups.

quote:

---

If you and others want to bring up an event that Khalil had nothing to do with

---

He praised it.

quote:

---

You don’t want to call the guy who shot and killed an attendee at a Trump rally part of “Trump’s group”

---

I've asked you a couple of times what in the world you are talking about with this "analogy," i.e., a reference to Butler or something else. You've refused to clarify. So at this point, I'll just make a blanket statement that it appears to be as idiotic, mindnumbingly stupid an analogy as could be imagined in a subject such as this. Perhaps that will provoke a clarification if there is one to be made. Perhaps not.

quote:

---

you never miss an opportunity to claim Khalil was personally affiliated with every person who attended the same protest as he did

---

Link?
While you're at it, please link Khalil criticizing the conflation of campus Jews and "Zionists." Please link Khalil criticizing his gay, black friend and CUAD co-leader for promoting the murder of all so-called "Zionists."

Khalil is hate-filled garbage. It's one thing to promote a cause (i.e., I support Ukraine). It is another entirely to threaten, intimidate, or attack students on campus for no reason but their heredity or religious faith (i.e., I support Ukraine => Death to all people from Russia or descended from Russians). Khalil led a hate-filled group which consistently, reliably, predictably does the latter.

Like a teenager whose parents house him, feed him, buy him a car, pay for his parties, etc., But when they ground him and take 'his' car keys d/t poor grades, he says they are the worst parents ever.

Only possible because the Fed can print money to cover the deficit

Negative! The Fed neither prints, nor does it create money. The Fed lays out operational needs. Treasury fulfills them.
