They aren't even trying to hide it any longer. That's not a good sign.

[Lisa558]

Let's remember the question at hand. Namely, is it okay for trump to try to punish Harvard because it told him to take his attempt to control university policy and stick it where the Clorox goes?

The question is: is it OK for taxpayers to withhold money from Harvard until they stop allowing - even contributing - to the spread of Jew-hate and assaults against Jewish Americans on their camous?

Most will agree, other than the radical left that has become chillingly tolerant of hate and bigotry….against Jews, that is.

I.R.S. Is Said to Be Considering Whether to Revoke Harvard’s Tax-Exempt Status

The Internal Revenue Service is weighing whether to revoke Harvard’s tax exemption, according to three people familiar with the matter, which would be a significant escalation of the Trump administration’s attempts to choke off federal money and support for the leading research university.

President Trump on Tuesday publicly called for Harvard to pay taxes, continuing a standoff in which the administration has demanded the university revamp its hiring and admissions practices and its curriculum.

Some I.R.S. officials have told colleagues that the Treasury Department on Wednesday asked the agency to consider revoking Harvard’s tax-exempt status, according to two of the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal conversations.

Federal law bars the president from either directly or indirectly requesting the I.R.S. to investigate or audit specific targets. Any attempt to take away Harvard’s tax exemption would be likely to face a legal challenge, which tax experts expect would be successful.
Harrison Fields, a White House spokesman, said the I.R.S.’s scrutiny of Harvard began before the president’s social media post.
I.R.S. Is Said to Be Considering Whether to Revoke Harvard’s Tax-Exempt Status

Harrison Fields would have us believe trump isn't behind this obvious act of retribution following Harvard's refusal to effectively hand over control of the university to trump in return for continuing to receive federal grant money. Something that stretches credulity beyond any reasonable boundary.

We should be accustomed to the gaslighting by now. It's a constant theme of the regime. But in this instance it's so transparent as to be like a 6 year old denying she ate a chocolate bar before dinner with the evidence smeared all over her face.

It seems to me the members of the regime involved in the decision to try to punish Harvard understand the ridiculous nature of their denial. Understand it stretches credulity. Understand the public will see through it..........and just don't care. Which is troubling. Because it's a signal things are out of control. A signal no act is too outrageous, or too illegal, or too clearly motivated by personal animus, to try. A signal this regime is governing without adult supervision. They have chocolate smeared all over their faces and they don't care who knows it.

Have you noticed how irate the leftists are that Trump is taking action to stop the antisemitism on leftist campuses? It’s nauseating.

Absolutely, it’s masterful how Trump is forcing them to stay right on the path they lost huge on. He’s got them in a box.

 

[Hum Dinger]

Harvard professors are 95% democrat
Why should they get any of my tax dollars?
Their $53b endowment needs to be spent down and taxed.
Why do they now have remedial math classes?
I completely support Trump on getting liberal universities to be more politically neutral.

berg is wrong as usual...

Everybody I know that went to Harvard was a Republican...until the MAGA bullshit began,

Do you think your nonsensical generalization fool anyone?

And yes, Harvard is a school, and schools have remedial math classes. It's their purpose to teach, dumbo.

Sorry if that doesn't fit your childish delusions.

There are LEGAL ways to stop violent Antisemitism.

But this isn't about stopping Antisemitism. This is about stopping people's first amendment rights - one step at a time.

 

[berg80]

They should revoke any federal funding for these elite, already well off universities, including their tax exempt status. Let the rich who go there pay their fair share and their rich families can support the school.

Yeah, let's see just how much damage can be inflicted on the country's educational system before the human wrecking ball is kicked to the curb again.

 

[berg80]

American citizens. The interests of American citizens.

What you seem to be forgetting is there are American citizens who disagree with you. You folks apparently think you speak for the majority. You don't.

Do you find it coincidental that trump is gutting public ed, trying to gain control over private universities, suing media corporations, ignoring court orders? Have you read any literature on authoritarian takeovers of countries? You should read, "How Democracies Die." The parallels to trump 2.0 are stunning.

 

[dblack]

American citizens. The interests of American citizens.

There are many different kinds of Americans, with many different interests. That's the problem with government trying to act in our "best interests". It's entirely subjective.

You people sure are determined to keep the Jew-hate going. Will you be satisfied when you’ve driven all the Jews out?

From my perspective, this has nothing to do with Jews. This is about the scope and reach of government power. It's about the way the state uses "free shit" to manipulate society.

 

[Independent thinker]

Yeah, let's see just how much damage can be inflicted on the country's educational system before the human wrecking ball is kicked to the curb again.

You mean the educational system that has sunk us to 36th place in the world and doesn't even know the difference between a man and a woman?

 

[Lisa558]

There are many different kinds of Americans, with many different interests. That's the problem with government trying to act in our "best interests". It's entirely subjective.

The only group of Americans being subjected to calls to murder them are Jews. A DECENT person would recognize the necessity of preventing the rise of that.

From my perspective, this has nothing to do with Jews. This is about the scope and reach of government power. It's about the way the state uses "free shit" to manipulate society.

Yeah, because you’re not a Jew who is being beaten, threatened with death, or blocked from attending class. You libtards are very tolerant of hate crimes and abuse against Jews.

The American citizens agreed with me to the point that we voted in Trump. And he’s “gutting” public ed? How so? He doesn’t want the libtards in charge of indoctrinating our youth, or they’ll turn out to be like you.

You’re one of the nuttiest, brainwashed libtards on this forum.

 

[dblack]

What you seem to be forgetting is there are American citizens who disagree with you. You folks apparently think you speak for the majority. You don't.

Does it matter? If 51% did support what Trump is doing, if they DID speak for the majority, would you be ok with it? I wouldn't.

 

[dblack]

You've pointed out that I'm "nasty", so I suspect I'm not even in the running for "decent".

Yeah, because you’re not a Jew who is being beaten, threatened with death, or blocked from attending class. You libtards are very tolerant of hate crimes and abuse against Jews.

Yeah. I'm a libtard. And demonic. And you're very stupid. All different types.

 

[kyzr]

I have a problem with any prez trying to exert control over private universities in return for grant money that largely to goes to research that will benefit the public. It's outrageous.......you just can't see it because.........Dear Leader.

Public money has strings. Take it or leave it.

95% of the professors are democrats, simple FACT.

Harvard didn't have remedial math classes until they started their DEI admissions. They used to be an elite university.

Yes, yes. It's well known that stopping racism is an overriding concern of Trump and MAGA.

COrrect. Trump and MAGA oppose racism, the dems and the left support it. Specifically the ivy league discrimination of Harvard.

The discrimination of the ivy league against whites and asians has been well documented. It is just dumb at this point to pretend otherwise.


I mean, you don't really think you are FOOLING anyone, do you?

The government shouldn't be "pushing" any culture.

What you actually mean there is that you were fine with the government and harvard pushing culture when it was your lefty culture and you are shocked and appalled the that republicians are finally, FINALLY fighting you on this front.

I understand that you hope that Trump is just a fluke and that things can go back to normal, where libs like you infiltrate institutions like Harvard and turn them into weapons for your marxist agenda.

That is a reasonable hope. BUT, if Trump wins the mid terms, we will be in a position to make this rollback permanent.

"Our way or we burn it all down."

That's not commitment - that's a temper tantrum.

Dude. You made this a blood sport. Playing hard ball isn't as much fun when the other guy comes back at you is it?

Give us what we want, or we burn it down. Harvard an AMERICAN institution serving AMERICANS or Harvard a collection of empty and rotting building.

Either one works for me.

 

[Correll]

The irony of your absurd complaint in the face of trump's extortion of private universities to be used as enablers for Stephen Miller's xenophobic, fascist crusade against immigrants is not lost on me.

The Trump administration has threatened to block Harvard University from enrolling international students unless the school hands over detailed information about the student body, in yet another escalation of the government’s fight against higher education.

In a letter sent on Wednesday, Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, demanded “relevant information” regarding each student visa holder at Harvard who has been involved with “known illegal” or “dangerous” activity.

She also demanded information “regarding each student visa holder’s maintenance of at least the minimum required coursework to maintain nonimmigrant student status.”

Trump Threatens to Block Harvard From Enrolling International Students

The Trump administration said Harvard must share detailed records about its foreign students, an escalation in the administration’s fight against prominent American schools.

I made a point about the order of events, ie that your side choose to make the univerities political and now you are crying like little girls that we are using political power to try to control them.

Your response does not challenge my point. it is just more whining from you that we are fighting back.


I get that it was more fun for your side, when you were playing for blood, but the country club republcians were playing nice and polite.


I would like to say that it was dumb of you to think that would continue. But really, it was looking like it for a long time.


But, well, it didn't continue. So, now you have to face some serious push back.


Is whining like a little girl, all you got in response?


WE, AMERCIANS DON'T WANT TO PUT OUT THE WELCOME MAT FOR ANTI-AMERICAN FOREIGNERS.

They want to organize and protest and try to "Bring down the American empire", they can do it in Gaza or whatever third world shit hole they call home.

Universtues are FOR PROFIT BUSINESS. Why should they be tax excempt on their earnings? Why should they be excempt on property taxes?
