      It is likely a parody of the fact that the incoming Trump administration has missed a deadline to file an ethics statement. Elizabeth Warren has called them out on it.

      Liberal critics are frustrated that Trump got elected and the thing that the Dems are complaining about is that Trump did not file the appropriate paperwork.

      Feels very similar to me.

      This will all be posted on Info Wars soon.

      The funniest thing about The Onion buying Info Wars is that I can see a good chunk of the audience continuing to get their news there and not realizing that anything has changed.

    People were condemning the Pro-Palestine protests on my campus because “they could have followed the rules” and apparently sending a bunch of state troopers with weapons and snipers and a tank and arresting 20 protestors was a justified punishments for having a few tents and a tarp.

      What else can you book them on? I think the police only arrested them because they were making people.

      But overall - Isn’t it for some reason, a freedom of speech to walk around with a Nazi sign?

        The point of the article is that people are getting upset for a technical violation of regulations rather than the message these people are sending. That is something I expect Ginther would do because that’s who he is. The worst kind of replacement-level milquetoast Democrat who won’t fight for anything.

        Of course these people have the right to walk through town as long as they’re obeying all relevant laws.

          And maybe we could have the cops watching them as intently as one would hope a group of masked and unannounced political extremists with a violent ideology marching through a city would be watched.
