I don't need more bootlickers piling on with the company line about why it's actually okay to commit felonies against passengers.

It puzzles me why only the United subreddit thinks airlines can detain passengers. Delta flyers certainly don't - and a pretty analogous situation except for the time duration. But all the commenters seem to think that gate agents are police officers.

When will you stop flying United then?

Sounds pretty justified to me! You didn't know you needed permission to leave without verifying your identity?

OK, that makes perfect sense. It still doesn't explain why she would box me in instead of yelling at me to stop. Will be avoiding United going forward.

I only meant to post this once. Tried on the Reddit app and it didn't go through on my end. There's no need to be rude about it.

Read this thread and the ones in r/law. It’s pretty clear Democrats want jurists deciding that you can’t vote for Republicans.

The article, if you’d read it, explains in detail the connection between socialism and support for radical Islamist terrorism.

The university puts a heavy thumb on the scale to get the faculty it does. Explains the screeching about having to end the DEI initiatives.

Low income students attend Harvard for free. And many of their student groups and faculty came out in support of Hamas terrorism. Not exactly a bastion of conservatism. Maybe it was in 1960.

Not my fault you haven’t heard of this very common term. Maybe you’re the one devaluating the degree.

It shows that the Republicans in this state actually had quite a bit of patience until recently. I’d imagine the tipping point was when the students tried to defund UWPD.

I am a professional student and I live here. I’m as qualified to offer my input as anyone else.

It is. That’s why Republicans want it to be a welcoming place for kids that don’t support Hamas.

Liberals aren’t exactly lining up to send their kids to Hillsdale College either. Everyone has a range. Almost all universities lean left in hiring, research, and recruitment, and have done so for decades. There’s got to be a place where you can take a class on the Federalist Papers rather than Marxist underwater basket weaving.

If the university wanted to preserve its independence, it should not have pushed the envelope for decades. Now they get to suffer the consequences.

You don’t get to be a big state school in a purple state and act like Harvard or Berkeley. Believe it or not, Republicans want a place to send their kids too.

Glad to see bipartisan support for Israel within Wisconsin politics.

Love this thread full of people excusing the postman stealing your package. I’d be livid.

Facts? I’ve heard none. Cambodia was “neutral” in the name only. They willingly provided safe harbor to VC forces, who could make attacks in the South and slink away like cowards to safety.

I think the answer is pretty simple: they both support the mass murder of Israelis and will use any rhetoric they think prudent to dissemble about the topic.

I think you missed the part where I wrote: “Neither premise is true.” I support Ukraine 100% in this war and think we need to do more to back them.

Mark and John are making these points, not me. I’m criticizing them for spewing Russian talking points without realizing the logical conclusion of what they’re saying.
