Biden gave a speech this morning condemning the university antiwar protesters. He calls them violent and says that they are protesting illegally.

Bringing out the Clintonian classics. Love to see the concept of "order" to justify draconian actions of the state... again.

Also this:

In his remarks Thursday, Biden also criticized “those who rush in to score political points” from the protests, saying that “this isn’t a moment for politics, it’s a moment for clarity.”

WHEN IS IT TIME FOR POLITICS YOU FUCKING MONSTER? God fucking damn it. Genocide isn't political! Crushing protests isn't political! Don't force the president to do politics, it's not his job! dem

Also WHAT FUCKING CLARITY.

It's pretty fucking clear that Isreal is doing a genocide and you're supporting it. What you are doing is trying as hard as you fucking can to muddy that waters on that incredibly clear subject.

I'm sure the speechwriters are capitalizing on the widely held US view that "politics is all bullshit has nothing to do with me", hence the "this isn't the time for politics" line.

Mass organizing your state to systematically kill innocent people isn't political, sweaty
