You need to work out on how you express ideas, conservative viewpoints being supressed means specific ones are being supressed, not "person x is a conservative and was protested by a bunch of shouty assholes while giving a speech at a university".

Universities have the right to invite whoever they want, they are not soapboxes for public use, so I dont see how you think that they can supress conservative speakers when your own examples are of conservative speakers being invited to speak.

Iced, you don't know what you're talking about on this issue. Student groups, not universities, invite speakers. Many universities have suppressed those they don't like, raising bullshit fees at the last minute or suspending clubs for inviting people they don't like.

Cool he can bring up examples then. That will make more sense as a point than just saying that Conservative viewpoints are being supressed but then not saying which ones are being supressed or making broad generalizations about agendas.

That's not 100% always true at all but it is a better point. You could argue that's more of a organization controlling and protecting what they perceive as their interests (as many organizations,companies, governments do) but i won't argue that point.
It's all the same in the end, matter and motion, simple or complex. No difference, finally. Death, transfiguration. Ashes to ashes and slime to slime, amen.

I made a grab it by the pussy joke today and later read that Joey Styles was fired for a similar joke.

Are these kinds of jokes not okay now???

context for people that don't follow smaller wrestler promotions: joey styles is a wrestling commentator
Quote
Before the main event, Styles said to ring announcer Joanna Rose:

"Joanna, you look great tonight. And if our next President were here tonight, he’d want to grab you by the..."
he was fired mid-show. only in trump's america

They never were. It's unprofessional as all hell, that'd get you fired in any ordinary place.

Given that it's the wrestle-verse here, people saying raunchy shit is part of the culture. But apparently staff was told beforehand to not make any references to the election in-show.

the biggest wrestling promotion, wwe, have made no references to the election whatsoever, even though trump has closely worked with them (he's in their fucking hall of fame) and the mcmahons donated to trump's campaign. talent have been told to avoid the subject on social media when possible. they know this election in particular is a very divisive issue and anything that resembles an opinion (for either candidate) will only make them lose viewers which they desperately need. they weren't shy about previous elections (although those segments went over really bad)


"hillary" and "obama" had a match in 2008 but both ended up destroyed by UMAGA

Not it your name's attached to it, Mr. Hoffmann. GBK can make as many pussy gabbing jokes as he wants, though.

Of course, they probably just wanted to avoid the appearance of cronyism since the rumors are Linda's going to be part of the cabinet
Nevermind, there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you
It's a shame we have to die, my dear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
It's a shame we have to disappear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time, this time, this time

In foosball at work we do, when someone plunges his hand to catch the ball before it drops in the opponent's goal (and count it as a goal taken off of them). It's Trump's flirting method.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

are you opposing trump's cabinet having women? are you afraid of a powerful female voice being part of the government? i'm getting sick of all the haters slay queen linda mcmahon has to deal with. it's 2016. donald trump was strong enough to take a stone cold stunner and so is linda mcmahon. equality win

Are there signs that this crazy circus is stopping anytime soon? Because while I do enjoy the hilarious clowning from the more insane anti-Trump people right now, I am getting tired of both the non-stop whining and popcorn. Do these people have anything better to do? It has been one week now.

We haven't even seen the worst of it yet. Come January 20 and we'll have at least 1 half-assed assassination attempt and countless snowflakes threatening to commit suicide. I hope at least one of them kills himself for real.
