It's funny how Contaminated Water posted a Black Ann Coulter quote about colleges being indoctrinated, but tried to get at Jemele Hill after Hill wrote that Black athletes should leave white colleges and join HBCUs.

Which is it *****, Mrs. Briggs or Ms. Mathers?

So apparently Bernie Bro world is mad at Obama because they think he is planning to speak out against Bernie if it looks like Bernie were to start winning the primary.

Even though there is not direct quotes of him saying that, and other sources kinda contradict the source that said that, Obama said he will support whomever the nominee was and he did not talk against Bernie in 2016.

I can't even talk Bernie supporters in my real life now cause they peak reactionary right now.

With all due civility (no dwalk) this info seems to have leaked from Obama’s own camp. And when asked about it his people either elided the question or basically confirmed it, with the caveat that it’s unlikely to happen now since they think Bernie’s chances at the nomination are fading—but not that Obama wouldn’t do it if he felt it necessary to prevent a Bernie nomination. Him pledging to support whoever the eventual nominee is against Trump is a different matter than him potentially intervening to try to stop Bernie from becoming the nominee in the first place.

From what I can tell, this is the original story from Politico, and these are the relevant passages:

Back when Sanders seemed like more of a threat than he does now, Obama said privately that if Bernie were running away with the nomination, Obama would speak up to stop him. (Asked about that, a spokesperson for Obama pointed out that Obama recently said he would support and campaign for whoever the Democratic nominee is.)

...

When it comes to Sanders, I asked one close adviser whether Obama would really lay himself on the line to prevent a Sanders nomination. “I can’t really confirm that,” the adviser said. “He hasn’t said that directly to me. The only reason I'm hesitating at all is because, yeah, if Bernie were running away with it, I think maybe we would all have to say something. But I don't think that's likely. It's not happening.” (Another close Obama friend said, “Bernie's not a Democrat.”)

I think Bernie supporters are reaching for something to get mad at. We have no idea the context of what he said and when he said it. Because BTW, it was never likely that Bernie was gonna be the runaway winner in this go around.

Also Obama also said people should calm down about the primary and be ready to rallying around the winner, and Dems should avoid the circular firing squad.

So the dude that:

-Obama campaigned to help Bernie get his Senate seat

-He said nothing in 2016 in the Dem primary so the process could play out

-Who told Bernie that he would hold off on releasing the video endorsing Hillary if Bernie wanted (this was after it was clear Clinton would be the nominee)

-Hell he didn't even say anything about Russia helping Trump so it would got be seen are him interfering

Is gonna try to stop a runaway candidate from getting the nomination.

So he is gonna act completely out of character to do something politically stupid. Yeah, sorry, not buying it without a better source or direct quote for me to buy Obama is out to stop Sanders like this. This is just the usual Bernie capers in the media being reactionary like they always do.

• The report examines the “emissions gap,” which is the difference between actual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions versus what countries agreed to in the Paris accord.
• In order to meet the Paris accord’s strictest goals, the report calls for a 7.6% reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions between 2020 and 2030.
• This year-over-year reduction is based on the 1.5% yearly increase in emissions over the past decade, which has shown no sign of peaking.
• If the 7.6% reduction isn’t achieved, global temperatures are projected to increase 3.9 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, which is twice the limit of the Paris accord.

Converts that to Fahrenheit in head...

Bruh we so ****ed.

Baker wrote that "immigration and visa programs have been hot-button topics in the United States for years and national scrutiny has only been increasing. Fairly or unfairly, Rampeesa’s conduct casts a shadow on the foreign-student visa program in general, and it raises questions as to whether the potential for abuse threatens to outweigh the benefits."

Gotta laugh at conclusions like the one above.

There is no argument that can convincingly downplay the positive impact of immigration on US society and US world dominance.

Xenophobia is this country's Achilles' heel in so, so many ways...

Add me to that list because it is a hoax

Yall really need to stop watching CNN

I guess the idea is too big for your pea sized brain to understand.

Trump is saving this country from socialist/radical leftist invaders trying to take control/power. They'll do anything to try and get votes and intimidate the right. Even pushing their climate change agenda. Colleges today are basically socialist indoctrination camps. Honestly, being a republican on a college campus today is like being a closeted homosexual. Nothing is worst than trying to drink a smoothie with a paper straw, and its all because students protesting and getting in my way while trying to get to my pointless gender studies class. Worst 125k I ever spent.

The energy of this crowd>>>>>>>

Seeing Trump in the flesh is like staring at a real life Captain America

And this is why he's going to win 2020

Why Trump is going to win again

Why some people are tired of the left and will vote trump



All these leftist college kids that want their college paid for LOL
