And Snoofy just can't help but keep proving the title of the thread to be right.

#6 that's great... but I asked to show how the cuts directly lead to this situation.

You're claiming a causation, provide the receipt.

Your question in and of itself is an assertion that cuts lead to this exact scenario. Show it. If it's true it should be easy.

#3... Now tie this back to any of the changes Trump made.

well of course with that well reasoned response, you're definitely winning hearts and minds

How did I know that an article about Dems denial, would be met with Dem denial.

If it weren't sad, it'd be hilarious.

Something I can agree with Corky on...

I saw this live on tour, Drove to PA to see it Yes Epics and Classics... great show.

If you're a Yes/Jon fan... give this album a listen, Jon and the Band geeks did original music.

And there's the problem Snoofy, I didn't say that people are FOR denying due process. The lefts spinning of the situation, claiming that all they want is due process after years of open borders and sanctuary cities is blatantly disingenuous.

You then spin it that if people don't agree with you, or hold any other position that they are defacto for the bad actions of the other extreme, the far right.

Which leads into answering Alexandrite... we are against that too. The right is making the mistake of seeing moderates flee the left, and are overplaying their hand, swinging the pendulum back the other way prematurely.

The moderate right could have enjoyed years of a majority, but they're seemingly fumbling that away too.

Whichever party can court the growing middle while tempering their extreme wings will be the party to attract the moderates next election cycle.

Snoofy I'm pretty sure the lefts stance is more in line with sanctuary cities than "All that's being asked is due process."

And that drives away moderates.

#3

must be fun making political jabs at the expense of 4 Americans in service for the country.

Shocker speakdumbly thinks I vote right, and that I don't have a STEM degree.

Reason 1746 Trump won, the lefties always think they are the smartest ones in the room, when they only drag down the average IQ.

People have stopped buying eggs? wtf are you talking about.

#5 Humans and life in general haven't proven to be remarkably resilient, definitely.

#1 Sounds like a dangerous game of --- for tat that and both sides to reel the rhetoric and violence in by more than just a little.

factor in the 6.2 billion into that articles equation and how is it doing?

#12... Malicious compliance wouldn't come from the DOGE guys necessarily though.

Random Elon hater involved in running the site receives order to remove DEI and complies maliciously by removing anything related to anyone non white knowing it will receive the exact attention we are discussing.

OR

Random racist running involved in running the site receives order to remove DEI and gleefully removes anything non white thinking they have cover now

OR

Random guy involved in running the site receive blatantly racist order to remove anything non white from the site.

Has anyone gotten anything that proves one scenario over the others?

Funny enough Snoofy as a parent of two kids, I never once on any paperwork ever had to declare them as straight.

I know you think you have the checkmate argument up above, but it just sounds like your spinning and twisting things to defend a stupid position.

#1 is newsworthy, I can't even make out the first half of it

So you're starting from a conclusion that I don't agree with.

#19 I know they are happening... What I asked is what were they ordered vs what did they implement. Did you look into the specifics of each, or are you assuming it's just racism. Very well could be, but given the time I'd love to know the specific order vs what they implemented and who interpreted the order.

I know it's just easier to assume the absolute worst, and it could be, but it's way more fun to just run with the assumption it seems.

#12 you used a lot of words to say "I don't know either" Snoofy

#1 can you point out where any of the changes played a factor in this?

Are these cases of incredible over reach, pendulum swinging back too far? Or are they cases of malicious compliance to the DEI orders.

Legit question, I have been too busy the past couple weeks to take a good look of my own.

something tells me there are plenty of other sources out there, not sure this is a nuke.

I don't like the funding cuts to valuable research, but I also understand not sending federal funds to an institution that allows protests on their campus that is discriminatory, and violent towards other students on that campus.

I have to reconcile it this way, if a group like the KKK were doing some sort of valuable research, should the feds help fund that?

Columbia should be getting research grants, and it should be shutting down blatantly illegal protests. It's unfortunate that they didn't keep that clear line.

I know I don't agree with the far left so that makes me a full on Nazi here. I am really a moderate and am torn on this topic.

Given that the statement that the state of education here in the States has not improved since the dept. of education was formed, why is it such a bad thing to cut it back? Please take this as an honest request for viewpoints that are meant to shed light on the topic and not an attempt at 'gotcha' question.
