I think they just have a block of seats inside the student section. They’re saying if you disrupt you won’t be allowed in their block, though you can still be in the student section generally

If this is the case (if), that's still easily avoidable if the university wanted to. They've essentially ceded control of areas of the stadium to this organization. That doesn't sound like they're trying to "force them out". 

Let's see if the university comes out against the SGA's statement. 

(they won't)

Uh, they don’t.

The SGA and Office of Student Affairs controls block seating, not TM.

The SGA is made up of TM member groups not actual TM members.

Think of TM as a political party. Running unopposed.

Soooo.. the school knows the TMs are a bunch of racist white frats. They know the TMs always win the SGA. And they still allow the SGA to control block seating.

Sounds like they're really fighting them tooth and nail.

Anyhow, so as not to derail the Trump thread, let's see what the school does. I know where my money is.

Let me point out something.  Bone spurs are not--  Look at our current situation with that fucker in Turkey.  Bone spurs are not something to hide behind.

You literally have no idea what you’re talking about.

The university HATES TM. They banned all student government for 4 years over their behavior.

It’s got no official standing. It’s made up of reps from 14 fraternities and 14 sororities. Those 28 reps nominate and select students from those 28 organizations to run for different positions and even homecoming queen.

The individual reps take the slate of machine backed candidates to all the members of their groups and say “Vote for these people”. The greek organizations require their members to vote in elections. They cannot be sure everyone will vote for TM slate but most do. You’ll get fined if you don’t vote.

These students make up 10-15% of the student body but around 50% of students that actually vote.

Most students don’t vote and the one that aren’t voting for TM candidates split their votes amongst 5 or 6 other candidates.

Boom - TM slate wins virtually every race.

The administration can’t do a damn thing to stop it. The Black Student Union has a slate too but they don’t have the numbers or the organization or the ability to punish people into voting.

But, please, do lecture me on something I saw and participated in first hand. My BFF’s boyfriend - now husband - was president of TM. My FIL and BIL were members. I was a machine backed candidate.

The group is abhorrent and I would love to see them kicked to the curb but the actual university has nothing to do with them and actively works against them in every way they can.

If your university can’t put the clamps down on 28 Biff’s and Missy’s then it probably sucks. But more importantly none of us really give a shit so stop blabbering about it.

Thanks for the info Bama Chick. I did find that interesting. But that's enough detail for this crowd to tolerate.

 

Don't let Aggie catch wind of that strategy or the old army weirdos will deploy some serious one-upmanship.

President Trump wanted Attorney General William P. Barr to hold a news conference declaring that the commander in chief had broken no laws during a phone call in which he pressed his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate a political rival, though Barr ultimately declined to do so, people familiar with the matter said.

Expand  

 

  Quote

The request from Trump traveled from the president to other White House officials and eventually to the Justice Department. The president has mentioned Barr’s declination to associates in recent weeks, saying he wished Barr would have held the news conference, Trump advisers say.

Expand  

 

  Quote

In recent weeks, the Justice Department has sought some distance from the White House, particularly on matters relating to the burgeoning controversy over Trump’s dealings on Ukraine and the impeachment inquiry they sparked.

People close to the administration say Barr and Trump remain on good terms. A senior administration official said Trump praised the attorney general publicly and privately Wednesday, and deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement: “The President has nothing but respect for AG Barr and greatly appreciates the work he’s done on behalf of the country — and no amount of shady sources with clear intent to divide, smear, and slander will change that.”

Remember that time that Bill Clinton exchanged awkward pleasantries with Loretta Lynch for 15 minutes on a tarmac and people saw evidence of a broad global conspiracy?

This being Comey’s excuse for going rogue with the press conference makes it all the more nefarious.

Where was that?  I mean, as in city and state?  It looks about 20% empty by the end, which is saying something.

Come on now.  Acting like the poor university can't do anything about this group?  Please, we both know a very large block of powerful alumni came from that side of the system and will do anything to protect it.

I've had 3 Trumpkins brag about the stock market to me since 2016 and It's bizarre because there is no fucking way they are investing with their sub $20 hour jobs. Mentally I am saying "but your poor" but just nod because anything else would be rude. I really think these people live vicariously through Trump's bragging about his "wealth."

It's hilarious that rural white trash think they've somehow owned well-off white liberals by giving the liberals a tax break that could pay their trailer mortgage every month. Thanks for the 20% break on my pass through income, dipshit. I'm sure that S-Corp you and your wife have for her booming Lularoe business is really thriving now with Trump.

You just have to let them have it.

There used to be an expression,

Not directly related to trump but I fell into a YouTube trap of watching a handful of The Wire scenes. One of the suggested videos was Obama talking to the creator of the Wire about the effects of the Drug War. Could you imagine trump having a thoughtful discussion of any topic?  He’s supposed to know real estate development. Could he talk about a real estate issue and possible solutions for 5 minutes? I don’t think he could.

if trump has any depth to him, he sure as hell hasn’t shown it.
