“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.”

    Just wait until next year. I wonder if you’re post will seem silly or prophetic.

      As with any statement I make when I make fun of Republicans, I sincerely hope it turns out to be silly.

      The left need to stop being scared of guns, stop voting for useless gun control measures that only restrict control in their own district and do nothing to reduce crime (meanwhile right wing districts allow you to buy an arsenal of nice ergonomic firearms that can allow even a morbidly obese diabetic to accurately shoot the dick off a fly, delivered to your front door like Amazon), start forming left wing LGBTQIA+ friendly militias and train to protect themselves.

      We can do that, or hope the boot lickers and cops don’t persecute us. Which is the same as sending hopes and prayers on Facebook.

        Ding ding ding. Authoritarian governments never disarm the right. The police have shown that they won’t protect you, if they’re not actively joining in on it.

        We protect us.

        How can anybody believe that more guns is the only possible solution for everything?

        If your only tool is a hammer, every screw starts to look like a nail.

          It’s another tool for the toolbox. How can being more prepared with a more diverse set of tools be bad for any situation? Right now the only tool seems to be posting outraged comments on the internet.
