GOP introduces bill that would send anyone convicted of unlawful activity on a campus since Oct. 7th, 2023 to Gaza.

“A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Wednesday which would send “any person convicted of unlawful activity” at a college or university, to do community service in Gaza for six months.”

“Strangely, the bill appears to refer to any “unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023” but does not specifically mention the ongoing student protests, rendering it stupidly broad.”

"Ogles spoke with Fox News about the bill, saying that, “If you support a terrorist organization, and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”

    What’s your policy on useless idiots? It’s a time sensitive question because I just saw this opinion I’m not sure what to do with

      They’re A rapidly growing subset of the useful version. And we are seeing repeatedly across college campuses where these idiots don’t know what they’re even protesting for or against. The number I’ve seen interviewed who can’t identify which river or sea they are chanting about would be funny if they weren’t promoting a genocide.

      It is a fine line between useful and useless though, if you’re not sure where you fall the default is useless.

          Sure, let’s get those hostages released and Hamas out of power so the Palestinians can actually have a chance at a peaceful life.
