Rep. Andy Ogles desperately wants to punish protesting students.

“A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Wednesday which would send “any person convicted of unlawful activity” at a college or university, to do community service in Gaza for six months.”

“Strangely, the bill appears to refer to any “unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023” but does not specifically mention the ongoing student protests, rendering it stupidly broad.”

"Ogles spoke with Fox News about the bill, saying that, “If you support a terrorist organization, and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”

    A child’s take on game theory.

    I wonder what you would say after looking up how many third party candidates successfully gained enough EC votes to be president?

      Biden still runs internment camps at the border. Biden builds the wall that Trump was ridiculed for by the Dem supporters. Guantanamo is still open…

      You play this game one round at a time. They play this game ten rounds ahead. And that is why you lose every round, thinking you had won it.

          Way to not engage with the points i made. Scared of not having any arguments?

            It is boring correcting, over and over, things which redcaps have deliberately distorted.

            “Why did Biden obey the law with money that was already allocated to the border wall prior to his administration? Both sides.”

            “Why did Obama only release like 200 Gitmo prisoners instead of all? Shouldn’t he have put the remaining 50 directly into US cities so he could close it all the way? Both sides.”

            Yawn.
