I see spoiled brats throwing tantrums (San Diego State University):
From this article at The College Fix (dated November 23, 2016):
San Diego State University on Tuesday hosted a “Healing Circle” to help students process their confusion, anger and fear over Donald Trump’s election and develop ways to stand against “injustice,” according to organizers.Read the rest HERE.
The circle drew roughly 20 participants, a student who attended the session told The College Fix. Students sat at tables facing each other as facilitators talked them through the fact that they needed to come to grips with the election results, similar to the stages of grief.
[...]
Marketed as an event for “moving forward together,” students attending the event would learn about the “mental health and community-based resources” available to them following the election.
[...]
While the circle only drew a handful of students, the day after Election Day, hundreds of SDSU students took to the quad to protest Trump’s victory.
[...]
As distraught students across the country have denied recognizing Trump as the next president, SDSU has not been the only institution to offer community discussions and safe spaces.
The University of Michigan-Flint, Virginia Tech, Columbia University, Barnard College, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Iowa State, UC Santa Cruz, University of Pennsylvania, Rice University, UT-Austin, George Mason and many others have offered similar support to grieving students.
What are these whiny babies [aka fragile little snowflakes] going to do when, in the course of their lives, actual personal tragedy and grief strike them? Very, very few who walk this earth manage to escape devastating personal grief.
Furthermore, "healing circles" don't accomplish anything other than feeding a victimology mindset.
These young people need to get a job instead of taking up space at a university. They are simply too immature to be attending an institution of higher learning. They need to grow up before embarking on what is touted to be "higher education."
I can't even imagine trying to supervise one of these flakes in a work environment. If we thought the Millennials were a handful... Good luck America.

DeleteI don't know if the Cubans can get ahead yet. Raul Castro, Fidel's brother, is in power.
DeleteI note that there was a huge celebration by Cubans living in Florida. Too bad that Ethel Merman isn't around to sing for them.

DeleteFT,
DeleteI'm not yet convinced that the death of Fidel Castro represents "half a loaf."
From this essay:
DeleteSocialism should die with Castro
(CNN)A dictator is dead. Another country's citizens may be ready to abandon the discredited and economically disastrous ideology of communism. Citizens can hope that free speech, a free press and human rights will become the order of the day.
A moment to celebrate, surely? Not for the left. For them, the death of Fidel Castro is one of sadness. Take Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the British Labour Party, who said: "Fidel Castro's death marks the passing of a huge figure of modern history, national independence and 20th century socialism."
[...]
The death of Castro should be the death of any lingering belief in socialism as a distinct and beneficial form of economic organization. Instead, it has been used as the opportunity to celebrate "a champion of social justice." That shouldn't just raise questions on the left, it should be a source of shame.

DeleteFT,
DeleteIf that sounds harsh, please forgive me
To harsh for me at this point in my life.
This just in... Jill Stein has requested a Recount She claimes that she actually received 105 votes, and not only the 101 votes that they are giving her credit for. if anyone here is interested.
ReplyDeleteHey moron, she's doing this to prove Hillary won.
DeleteJust in case Hillary calls for a recount just Remember that Trump was planning to do the same thing if he lost !!
ReplyDelete...and the FIT that liberals threw at just that prospect. Hypocrites.
DeleteThe Orange man was calling for a recount even before the votes were cast.
DeleteHowever, in the right wing mind that doesn't constitute whining.
The difference is that we know the system is corrupt and its the "progressives" that are corrupting it.
DeleteWhile we're at it, "The Orange man was calling for a recount even before the votes were cast."
DeleteLink please, put up or shut up!
Technically you are correct, Warren.
DeleteDonnie Tiny Hands only stated that he would not accept the results if he lost. He did not specifically state he would call for a recount.
Have a nice day.
Ducky, I hate to break it to you but I can see a new day dawning. Fidel has well, thrown in the towel, bit the bullet and croaked already.
DeleteYou mock Donald Trump with childish name calling, but he's got way more positive aspects to his character than either Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama. He's more of a family oriented person, he's a non-smoker or drinker, which I'd say is hard to do especially over the span of his lifetime.
Now I'm postive Donald Trump being a life-long New Yorker knows plenty about the despicable scandals over the past decades, including 9/11 and when he speaks about draining the swamp I'm sure he's familiar with the corruption and depravity in the upper echelons of Washington and New York politics.
And that would include the disgusting "Pizza-Gate" that that is engulfing political insiders of both parties.
Waylon,
DeleteDonald Trump being a life-long New Yorker knows plenty about the despicable scandals over the past decades
And irrespective of political Party.
AOW, I found the recent interview of Donald Trump by Harvey Levin to be more revealing than I had expected. I thought Trump being the product of a wealthy family (supposedly) was raised as quite a normal young kid, having friends that he hung around with and playing baseball, in which he did well, even being scouted by major league teams, according to that interview.
DeleteI think if kids are raised by too protective and over-doting parents, where the kid becomes the entire center of attention it carried through in later life, being a spoiled rich brat. Donald Trump doesn't fit that mould, as I thought he would. At least that's how he comes off to me in that interview.
And I doubt Harvey Levin went out of his way to make look good in that interview.
*to make Trump look good*
DeleteWaylon,
DeleteWas that interview broadcast on FNC? I'm asking because I saw an FNC special which brought out the points you mentioned.
Yes. that's the one.
DeleteWaylon,
DeleteWas the title "Objectifying Trump"?
I don't recall the name exactly, AOW, but it was a recent production. Likely was the same show that you watched.
DeleteIt used to be that colleges prepared one for life. Now they seem to prepare one for fantasy.
ReplyDeleteThe graphic:"NOT MY PWESIDENT" says it all. I'm shearing it with many.
ReplyDeleteJon,
DeleteShare away!
I've done the same on Facebook. **grin**
The pathetic, self-entitled tantrum throwers are our next generation. It's the sad reality that responsible, accountable and self-sufficient Citizens are quickly becoming the distinct minority; irrespective of political persuasion....we won't have the maturity nor the will to administer a Republic before long.
ReplyDeleteCI,
DeleteThe pathetic, self-entitled tantrum throwers are our next generation.
That's the worry, isn't it? And the reality as well. **sigh**
Exactly, that's the worry, a generation that has accepted the loss of primacy of straight white males.
Delete@ Nostradumbass
DeleteIs that the "Party" line now?
Been that way for awhile, hence The Orange Man.
DeleteNice of you to notice the connection.
Delete"the loss of primacy of straight white males."(?)
DeleteIn light of the current Republican domination of political office(s),nationally, would you care to elaborate on the above?
Duck,
Deletea generation that has accepted the loss of primacy of straight white males
I call BS on that as the cause of these stupid young people marching around and cutting classes -- or whatever.
In my view, they are media whores seeking attention.
Exactly, that's the worry, a generation that has accepted the loss of primacy of straight white males.
DeleteYour response is utterly nonsensical, and appears only to be intended to deflect the predominant ideology of said tantrum-throwers....to the predictable, stale stratagem of race.
CI,
DeleteCI,
Up votes for your comment!
It's not only race but class, CI.
DeleteI've been thinking about their so called tantrums in light of Trump's recent promise to do something about the Carrier plant relocation. Lot of jobs at stake and Trump says he'll save them.
Why is the factory moving?
Automation? They're moving the machinery piece by piece. So that's not it.
Low wage labor? Carrier is United Technology's most profitable division. Would they risk the move and why wait so long since NAFTA's passage? No it ain't that.
Stock buy backs? The hedgies are pushing to get it moved to the lower wage site to generate profits for a stock buy back. It's stock manipulation that was actually illegal before Bill Clintoon revoked the regulation which is why Her Nibs had nothing to say about lost jobs during the campaign.
What does that have to do with the tantrum throwers? Remember Occupy Wall Street? I'm sure you were condemning those tantrum throwers who were out of touch with reality?
Well, they were right and they were right to stump for Sanders and oppose The Orange Man and Her Nibs.
Maybe you should be more open.
Then your problem lies in looking at issues through a binary lens. The most intellectually corrupt phrase in American nomenclature is "both sides of the issue".
DeleteDucky,
DeleteYou've nailed it on the Carrier Deal. The whiners in the streets couldn't get within 10 miles of your sophisticated and studied take. They are just visceral haters. And isn't it ironic Trump is the one trying to save those jobs?

DeleteFT,
DeleteI don't see it as "Dancing with the Devil in your parlor" to allow Duck to comment here.
Apparently, SF feels the same way regarding his blog site.
Please bury the hatchet for a while, and cease ad hominem attacks. Thanks.
Oh, it is fine to beat up on Duck's ideology. Attacking ideology does not qualify as an ad hominem attack.
Delete"They are simply too immature to be attending an institution of higher learning. They need to grow up before embarking on what is touted to be "higher education."
ReplyDeleteYes and to think that [we] came dangerously close to being forced into COMPLETELY financing it!
Jon,
DeleteOur nation needs to get over the idea that everybody should attend college.
Furthermore, most colleges are nothing more than Leftist indoctrination centers. The same goes for the high schools.
They're 'too' immature to play unsupervised or change their dirty diapers for that matter.
DeleteWarren,
DeleteExactly!
If I had pulled a stunt like this in college, my parents would have yanked the car, taken me out of school, and made me go wait tables or work as a maid so as to get my head on straight.
It seems they've become incubation centers, thus the childlike Behavior.
ReplyDeleteEd,
DeleteThe term incubation centers fits!

ReplyDeleteAs long as that duck is allowed to keep dropping stink bombs here I'll just stay away.
That's giving him a victory. Do you really want to do that?
DeleteCome on, AOW, FreeThinke is always trying to get me banned.
DeleteI post by the rules. No vulgarity and certainly throw far fewer ad hominem than I receive. Can FreeThinke say that?
Trump is going to give me the victory. Wait till you start getting a load of his plan to finance infrastructure projects by subsidizing privatization.
The info is out there.
FT runs his blog by his rules. I'm more open in certain ways.
DeleteAs for Trump giving you any sort of victory, I have my doubts. Time will tell.
As for the info you mentioned, please provide the links.
Got nothing to do with FreeThinke's blog.
DeleteHe tries to have me banned here and at Silverfiddle's.
Duck,
DeleteAnd neither SF nor I have banned you. Yet.
Warren may do otherwise. He'll be taking over again here next week.
Enough of this blog gossip. We all know one another's views as to whether or not to allow certain individuals to comment at certain blog sites.
I didn't vote for Cheeto Jesus, but it's hilarious that "anti-Establishment" means putting Reince Priebus in as White House Chief of Staff and floating Mitt Romney as Secretary of State. And a Common Core advocate as Secretary of Education.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, principle-discarding Republicans. Y'all got punked.
"At least it snot Hillary" lol
Y'all got punked.
DeleteTime will tell.
Let's see where this paradigm shift goes.
Psradigm shift?
DeleteLock her up, er nevermind.
Punked.
"Thought Criminal" Bravo on the ironic use of the name!
DeleteEvery phrase you utter is PC-approved! You are highly qualified for a job at the Ministry of Truth!
REMINDER:
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS NOT AN OPEN THREAD. HENCEFORTH, LET'S ADDRESS THE TOPIC OF THIS PARTICULAR BLOG POST.
THANK YOU.
I only hope their little brains are twisting in the wind for the next 8 years and hopefully More. I will pay zero attention to them in the meantime, instead enjoying the clean air.
ReplyDeleteEarlier generations of Americans merely prayed and walked through their difficulties. I guess it takes a "healing circle" and a "village" now to raise the 180 pound babies. I like to remember that a few sixteen year olds signed on for World War II and those MEN are my true heroes.
ReplyDeleteRegarding "Thought Criminal" the Cheeto Jesus is uncalled for, just like when Glenn Beck rubbed his face in crushed Cheetos to mock Trump. I don't think we have been punked. Time will tell.
Thses spoiled brats should act more like righturds:

For some reason, it seems I can't respond TO the comments above but I had to laugh at the face that Jill Stein's spent $5 million dollars to pick up four more votes. Seems so absolutely in keeping with a socialist mindset. "Spend a LOT as long as it goes MY WAY" Good going, Jill...and you wanted to be OUR president?
ReplyDeleteI. V. Haddit said
DeleteJill belongs with The Ladies Who Lunch. She's a dingbat who doesn't know she's a dingbat.
And isn't it funny how that duck character thinks everyone who hates his guts is someone named "FT?" There's an army of us dedicated duck haters out here, and our name is Legion.
The Green party was bought out this week by Hillary's Wall Street donors. Ralph Nader should be so proud!

DeleteJill Stein (Hillary Clinton’s) recount is akin to Michael Brown’s father standing in front of an angry mob of rioters after our judicial system found Officer Wilson innocent of murder, begging them to burn the city of Ferguson to the ground. Instead of finding ways to help heal and bring our nation together after a extremely contentious election, the Democrats have managed to find a way to keep our nation on edge. Democrats have made it clear by their bad post-election behavior, that they are unwilling to accept the results of the election and move on. Instead of regrouping and figuring out what they need to do to win back the voters they’ve lost, they’re going to drag and already divided America through a recount based on nothing more than hope.
