USC was only acting as a university and not some corporate middle management as evidenced by the below: It has always been the duty of colleges and universities to stifle differing opinions and pacify the majority by bowing to their tender feelings. Once we root out the groomers, woke-ists, and agenda-hiders, we'll be on the way to having a universal education approach that will be the envy of the world.

I think it resonates because that's how the US operates. In Latin America, we prop up dictators and train death squads. We also have American churches building hospitals and the Peace Corps doing what they do. That bolded line is so very succinct. Stewart's vision is so clear and detached. I didn't much care for him prior to doing The Daily Show; since then, he has actually become important. He states things with no attached sentimentalism and he does so with brevity and wit. Truly an astounding figure.

It's true, my friend. I don't do gear.

No AgTags for the posters, but there are a lot of irony-deaf up votes. Nice trolling or typical Aggie blindness. From Aggie Outfitter site: I don't usually have much of an opinion about team wear, but the above is indeed hideous. There's probably a burnt orange version for us, but I can't see any Longhorn wearing something so bad.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah... The Donald taught you everything you know about grift but not everything he knows. Number one, go ridiculously, absurdly big. A lectern? Stupid Arkansas girl.

William and the Elk are the front men for Texas A&M. Who ever thought William would present better than anybody?

This is some typical fresh, outside the box thinking. We could learn something from this guy.

He was pretty hard on Pepita.

What little I saw of her on TV, I could tell she had wit.

Don't ask Trump. He has no idea what his grandkids look like.

From Brookings (2016) As for summary execution: Pretty clear his brother-in-law wasn't taken out and shot the day he was arrested or the day he was found guilty. My point? There is no point. We could put facts like these in a loop and force Trumpers to watch it for hours. Fake! News!

I think I'm done with BC, BCE, and AD. I'm going with BFH and SFH.

Garcia seems like a pretty good get. I hope he's ready to play the day he arrives.

Yes. But what about knowing how to win a national title? How can an Aggie leave that out after it being their mantra for years? After all, It wasn't, "Jimbo knows how to hold a press conference."

I've been avoiding conflict with old acquaintances on facebook, but I begin to feel like a coward about it. There are such good feelings from people I rarely see who are now clearly somewhere towards the Christian Nationalist Trump part of the spectrum. Somehow, the girls I knew in high school turning into persons like this makes me sad. Late teenage girls were generally bold and not as conformist as boys the same age. Beautiful and free-spirited is how I remember them. Fortunately, none of my friends are Trumpers. I haven't had to make a decision about them.

The badass tatoo makes up for the fawn legs.

Maybe the best and most apt visual depiction of what has come to be.

I think Israel cynically attacked the embassy in Syria to provoke this shit. Are they wrong to want to strike at Iran? No. Iran is conducting violent operations against Israel. In a vacuum, I would always support Israel over the theocratic tyranny in Iran. It is Israel's choice of targets that raises my eyebrow. I really want the US out of this fucking shit. Israel is not a state in the union. Trying to cast this as good guys versus bad guys is American naivete at it's worst and most dangerous. Israel is slaughtering Gazans and calling it a war. Iran is supporting attacks on Israel which kill Israelis. I suppose it's good that a number of countries united to augment Israel's air defenses. It's defensive and saved lives. I wouldn't commit to much else. I agree with a lot of this. I've read all the posts to this point. The above exchange should not be forgotten in war fervor. I don't want American soldiers fighting in this conflict. I would only commit to helping Israel when evidence arose that they might be overrun. I don't want that country destroyed. Maybe we could deliberate about what we would do with the same alacrity the West is using to do anything to keep Gaza from being overrun and turned into an epic act of cruelty. We wouldn't wait until Israelis were huddling in refugee camps watching their children suffer, starve, and die. We shouldn't do that with Gaza. I hate being involved in this shit fire.

Hello, sportsfans! See if you can find the absurd premise! As if.

These posts balance out quite nicely. That so many boomers go for Trump after experiencing the 70s is sort of mind boggling but not too much so. Upper middle class-born Boomers were the yuppies of the 80s. They fell in love with Reagan and Gordon Gecko. That's when most of them picked their team. I'm at the same time as that group but, as Biff said, we were not a homogenized generation anymore than any generation is. On facebook, I see that most of the girls from my high school have children and have become vocally Christian. Blessed this and blessed that. Some seem like good examples of what that religion can do; most seem to think we're blessed by having a great man like Trump in the lead. I can't tell if any are all the way Christian Nationalists, but I doubt many recognize or oppose that movement. I was never anything resembling a hippie. I was moderate and a bit hawkish in my college years. The spirit of tolerance, not taking things at their face value, and not trusting things done simply for tradition were a few values in there. They've stuck. I frankly think those are key values with millennials and those younger. I was also never a yuppie or a preppy. I did want to strip Iran off the face of the Earth, but I now think that was a bit harsh. I also know more about our history with that country. Reagan was the first presidential candidate that I despised. Nixon had to work at it for 5 years for me to see him as a villain. Anyway, I think the Yuppies and neo-Christians of my group are the root of why the large number of Boomers find themselves backing an anti-republic, lying, failed game show host (all due respect to @WhatTheBuck) whom Jesus would kick in the nuts. I've missed her.

Yep. They stepped up united with us, and we decide to invade Iraq. Such a fumble by W. His daddy, Clinton, or Gore would not have wasted that moment. The re-election of W was demoralizing to me. It's just getting worse.

His glacial pace proves more disastrous each day that Trump delays. Yet, it's the Senate that could have and should have convicted Trump in 2021. The only reason I believe they did was omertà. As a criminal organization, they protected a collegue perhaps in fear that there are things he could reveal. Maybe it was just plain fear of the cappo.
