    Good point. His presidency has been just as transparent as he promised it would be. I guess that explains why he's so good at uniting people.



    For the record, you did misquote me. It was another user who made the Hawaii and Christian churches remark. I never would've said any of that. I made the transparency statement.

    Just clarifying.

    I was responding to "I guess that explains why he's so good at uniting people" when I stated "You can't unite people who feed off of division in order to attain power."

    It's a moot point now though, possibly.

    This is fucking insane! 

    https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/texas-ban-universities-speech-talking-night-20361753.php



    The overnight ban on expressive activities is unfathomably broad. Off the top of our heads, here are just a few examples of what such a policy would prohibit on campus between 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.: Meeting with other students to socialize or study, writing an email, working on a research paper, posting on social media, reporting for the student newspaper, wearing a T-shirt with a slogan, dancing, playing music, painting a picture, or praying at a sunrise service.

    …

    Are universities likely to enforce their statutorily mandated policies banning overnight speech against students engaged in speech like that? Probably not. But they could, and that shows just how sloppy and overbroad this law is.

    Actually, it's kind of cool to see and remember some old faces who left the forums.  

    As for Texas wanting to ban speeches at night on campus, just another lame as attempt to "own the libs".  How fucking weak is that?  Very, as usual.

    Huh, what a coincidence, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is ending in May 2026. Conveniently another outspoken critic of Trump on a network where the big wigs are still trying to get their sale signed off on by Trump's FCC.

    And just a few days after AP speculated the below nugget about parent company Paramount trying to eliminate Stewart and Colbert. Well, one down, one to go.

    The next MAGA blockbuster and sequel after COOTWH destroys Hollywood will be The Silencing of the Left followed by The Silence of the Left. There will be no criticism nor opposition come 2028.

    People better start waking the fuck up.

    Yeah, the whole point is to tear everything down, no stone unturned, with absolutely no plan or intent to rebuild.  It's all about having a major tantrum, expressing major hate, and having a major destructive nature.  And to top it all off, millions of people willing to go along with the plan at their own peril.  How fucking stupid is that?  Very fucking stupid.

    Can they ban bible study readings?  If you start talking about rape, incest and murder that qualifies right?
