Also, the people you are theoretically talking to aren't on this website. Take a bullhorn and head to your local university if you actually care.

The protests tomorrow are about DOGE’s unconstitutional actions, the illegal firings, Traitor’s imperialism and horrific foreign policy (so far).

Will the pro-Pal folks jump in? Sure no doubt.

The convo tho tonight is about where are they tonight…

I can't seem to find any proof they actually happened. Maybe you can help out.

There were a few demonstrations shortly after Oct 7th - you know, protesting the immediate indiscriminate bombing of Gaza and in support of the long-standing Palestinian cause. My God they even had "professionally printed signs"! Heaven forbid, what low-lives, right?

It might be hard for some to understand, but people were actually upset about the 10,000 bombs dropped on Gaza in just the first week. Starting the DAY OF Oct. 7th.

Peace.

She was teaching right up until the end maybe, she used to take naps every day, I saw her once because I was napping in the nurses office when I was sick. Then at the end of the year she said she would not be returning. I may be misremembering some of the details. But she was huge etc.

I think I was in first grade but I was a year younger than everyone. When we came here my father put me into first grade. But maybe it was 2nd grade really. I went to two schools for first grade. The first teacher ignored me and did not teach me how to read. It was probably 2nd or even third grade.

to lead the easily misled idiots.

Let's see... Trump announces that we own Gaza now... and that the people that lived there should move to Egypt or Jordan ( but not Saudi Arabia... hmmm ) ... and we are going to hire some people ( people from Israel perhaps ) to rebuild Gaza ( a beautiful beach resort! ).

errr, what's that? A colony? Say it isn't so.

Locals saw two local homeless people there. One went up to a delegate and tried to get a pass to get in.

Also my friend who was a delegate also said, "Those protesters all looked homeless to me". But this is the first that has been confirmed that homeless people from Texas were up there protesting Kamala.

feel any personal responsibility for what will now happen in Gaza despite the warnings about what was at stake in this election. For better or worse, the protesters knew that the Biden administration would respect their rights to protest. Do they feel the same about this administration? The question for Democrats now is: can they be turned into reliable anti-Republican voters? That is really all that matters now.
