Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned after more examples of plagiarism were reported. But plagiarism had nothing to do with it; the examples had to do with how she explained statistical methods she used. It’s pretty difficult to explain how a Chi square or other method works without partially copying someone’s words, and it has nothing to do with scholarship. The real reason she was pressured to resign, of course, was her very legalistic response to a question about whether calling for genocide is acceptable free speech. Here’s my take: Gay: “It depends on the context.” I agree with that. Because, who is to judge whether a statement is or isn’t a call for genocide? But Gay had many opportunities to clarify her comment, and she didn’t. That, I think, is what did her in. On the other hand, pro-Palestinian protests at universities today often chant two slogans repeatedly: “There is only one solution, intifada revolution,” and ”From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” This is the heart of the problem. You can’t run around pretending to care about innocent Palestinian civilians being killed, by declaring that terrorist warfare against Israeli civilians is the “only solution,” and that the seven million Jews of Israel must be forcibly removed from their country. Israel is a nuclear power with a population of seven million Jews and two million Arabs (that doesn’t include West Bank and Gaza). Calling for the overthrow of a nation and murder and expulsion of their entire population doesn’t make you a peace activist, it makes you a war activist. And given Israel’s nuclear capabilities and powerful conventional military, it’s also irrational. Claudine Gay didn’t seem to understand the issues, and it cost her job. I think more university officials are going to need to address the clearly anti-Semitic nature of some of these chants, and come up with solutions which classify such comments as hate speech, and punish them. Not a simple issue in a free speech nation, but hate speech is not constitutionally protected. “Hate speech can only be criminalized when it directly incites imminent criminal activity or consists of specific threats of violence targeted against a person or group.” (Snyder v Phelps)

Uh, no… it’s full of long-term trends which prove beyond any doubt that global temperatures have been increasing. There’s nothing to suppose in that. You didn’t actually look at it, did you? Cause MAGA means, “Make Up Facts”

Can you f-ing say anything that’s true? I didn’t say that this civil trial will land him in jail. Nobody said that in this thread. You’re just another sub-100 MAGA mooron.

In other words, you’re psychotic.

Anyone who denies that Trump participated in an insurrection is an enemy of the United States. You’re probably a Russian or Chinese plant, or you’ve been conned by one. I saw the Jan 6 attacks live on TV. I know they happened. I know they were doing it to try to keep Trump in power. You and your ilk hate our great Constitutional democracy.

The US Supreme Court ruled that the President can mandate vaccines for active duty soldiers. Over 300,000 US Soldiers were given anthrax vaccinations before Desert Storm: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK220522/

Here’s the data that does come from the PhD’s. Gore was correct. https://climate.nasa.gov

Lying dozens of times on financial disclosures isn’t a political crime. Stealing hundreds of highly classified documents and deliberately concealing them from government subpoenas is not a political crime.

Nobody in this thread has said that Trump will face jail time over this civil fraud trial. I said that this trial will “end Trump” because the damages will be so extreme. Trump has already lost, and he and his legal team have handled this case horribly throughout. My guess is the damages will be a minimum of $200 million and more likely $500 million.

Most likely, Biden will win again.

Your graph shows that wages are growing faster than inflation. You ought to learn how to read a graph.

It’s unfortunate that Donald Trump committed so many crimes. But he did. The guy was born filthy rich and believed that laws were for the little people, and they didn’t apply to him at all.

Oh, I don’t care if he’s silenced or not, I just want to see him in prison where he belongs.

And again you post no published data to backup your claims. Here, I’ll do it for you again, since you’re so FOS. From Social Security Administration: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/AWI.html 2015 48,098.63 2016 48,642.15 2017 50,321.89 2018 52,145.80 2019 54,099.99 2020 55,628.60 2021 60,575.07 2022 63,795.13

First Sentence of First Post in this Thread says CIVIL FRAUD. Ex-President has had his NY businesses dissolved and will be fined somewhere between $100 million and $750 million. A fine on the higher end will end his business empire, as it should. I won’t write any more cause you aren’t reading anything here.

This says nothing about the economy over time, so it says nothing about Biden’s performance either way. But the nations ranked above the U.S. have one of two characteristics: They’re either an oil export kingdom, or they’re a more socialist nation than the U.S. Since America cannot become an oil export kingdom, the other way to move up the rank is to become more socialist.

For starters, he flat-out said he would be a dictator on Day One of his Presidency. Bad idea to elect a dictator cause doing that never ends well.

Thats not your prediction, its your dream. My prediction is that Trump will wrap up his campaign from a jail cell.

No, you simply don’t understand this situation at all. Yes, it is a civil fraud trial. You didn’t need to “mansplain” that, because I wrote that in the first sentence of the first post in the thread. Yes, he and his sons have been found GUILTY in this civil fraud trial. Technically, the term is “liable,” but he’s guilty. That much of the case is already done. The NY State Supreme Court hasn’t “signaled” anything. Here is the judicial order stating that Trump and sons are liable for fraud: https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentDisplayServlet?documentId=tTcU_PLUS_uJJ8i5XjrCTSNk2eA==&system=prod I get that you read nonsense news, but all of the facts about this case are posted public record. You can download and read all the facts from the court’s website. Trump and his sons have already been found guilty of fraud, Trump waived his right to a jury (which he later declared was “unfair,” even though it was his choice), and in a week or two, Judge Engoron will issue his ruling which state the damages Trump needs to pay. And the damages will likely be well north of $100 million, possibly $500 to $750 million.

Iraq isn’t better off. The 3,500 dead US soldiers aren’t better off.

Florida hadn’t finished counting all the votes. The Supreme Court, 5-4, ordered Florida to stop counting votes. Sandra Day O’Connor later admitted it was the Supreme Court casting their vote for President. And the result was a President who ignored the threat of bin Laden and then launched a terribly managed war against Iraq for non-existent WMD’s.

Have you ever been involved in the process of developing and manufacturing a product? personally, I think there are better routes to take than starting a trade war or Cold War with China

If you start a war, you get a war. Just ask the Gazans.

But he correctly pointed out your fundamental ignorance of US law.
