C'mon, you know how it works. Small fringe group takes over a protest, that group is separate it's a mostly peaceful protest!!!

Small group breaks in to the capitol building, every single person who voted for Trump or even didn't say something mean to Trump is now directly responsible for what happened.

I for one am relieved. I will now be able to sleep knowing my flagship is deeply troubled.

Yeah, this isn't a great year for LSU to be indiscriminately trying to shitcan their own boosters.

this is the best thing that could ever happen to Rouses. They are getting the best free pub they could ever dream of

Exactly.

So they won't be the official supermarket of LSU Athletics anymore? Who gives a frick.

Why does LSU feel compelled to make a statement?

when they're not busy rushing over to the frat house to check out the deadly noose situation in the fireplace, they're "deeply troubled" by a guy who gives them money going to a protest...but not troubled quite enough to stop taking the money, only just troubled enough to virtue signal about it in the newspaper

This has nothing to do with Nike or boycotts

This has to do with a public university condemning someone for having their picture taken at a political rally
After they encouraged the right protest over the summer

That they can’t separate those breaking into capital from they much larger group of others there to support Trump and also to support raising objections to results which is something Democrats do all the time is typical hypocrisy of media and Democrats. Now some even trying to disbar Senators who raised objections.

quote:

The last three times a Republican has been elected president — Trump in 2016 and George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004 — Democrats in the House have brought objections to the electoral votes in states the GOP nominee won. In early 2005 specifically, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., along with Rep. Stephanie Tubbs, D-Ohio, objected to Bush’s 2004 electoral votes in Ohio.


quote:

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin appears to be even more incensed at Senator Josh Hawley’s plan to object to the Electoral College vote.

“The political equivalent of barking at the moon,” Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said of Hawley joining the challenge to electoral slates. “This won’t be taken seriously, nor should it be. The American people made a decision on Nov. 3rd and that decision must and will be honored and protected by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.”

Brave Sir Dick seems to forget he was singing a different tune in 2005. Then, it was Democrats questioning the results of the Ohio vote, which went narrowly for George Bush. Durbin had words of praise for Boxer then:
“Some may criticize our colleague from California for bringing us here for this brief debate,” Durbin said on the Senate floor following Boxer’s objection, while noting that he would vote to certify the Ohio electoral votes for Bush. “I thank her for doing that because it gives members an opportunity once again on a bipartisan basis to look at a challenge that we face not just in the last election in one State but in many States.”

In fact, the Ohio electoral vote challenge was only the beginning. Rumors and conspiracy theories swirled around the outcome on election night that saw Bush winning Ohio by a close, but the surprisingly comfortable margin of 120,000 votes.

So why are so many of these headlines familiar to us today? Mother Jones: “Recounting the Election: Was Ohio stolen?”

New York Times: “Glitch Found in Ohio Counting”

They even included some voting machine controversies.

National Election Defense Coalition: “PARTISAN TECHNOLOGY FIRM IS IMPLICATED IN JOHN KERRY’S IMPLAUSIBLE LOSS IN OHIO 2004

NBC News: “Machine Glitch Gave Bush Extra Ohio Votes”

Can't even attend a protest or rally without being labeled a domestic terrorist. Be silent or they will take everything from you. Really hope all conservative Louisiana residents make Rouses their primary grocery store now.
