    What’s an illegal protest? I thought first amendment speech covered that

    Also, how can he expel a student from a school he doesn’t control? or does he mean expel students from the country?

          Let the record reflect that, while this has not yet occurred, the fact that you have to ask is concerning enough to warrant treatment as if it has occurred. Furthermore, college campuses are one of the primary places that protest movements begin in recent years. Declaring protest illegal in nebulous terms like this is a HUGE swing toward breaking open the full fascism piñata.

      An illegal protest, according to conservatives, is any protest they disagree with. Waving picket signs or blocking traffic is disruptive, destructive, and illegal. Storming the capitol is, on the other hand, a perfectly acceptable peaceful protest.

        Yep. Nationwide nonviolent sit in protests? Pass laws to make it legal to run them down on a car if you feel threatened.

        Violent storming of the seat of our nations power and symbolic political heart? Oh that’s just some guys being dudes.

      a school he doesn’t control

      If the school receives any federal funds, he is somewhat in control

      Remember, he’s only got the intelligence of a kumquat. He doesn’t even understand that he’s too stupid to understand anything. He vomits whatever he thinks give his followers happy endings.

      He doesn’t give a shit about the speech. It’s the schools and universities he wants to harm. Even if it’s just a matter of disrupting them through legal overwhelm.
