"Cimbal, a loyal Republican, wants people to think about how to curb illegal immigration and protect Second Amendment gun ownership rights, but she’s mainly drawn to Trump because she thinks his plain talk can get things done. Her goal is to restore a time “when there wasn’t as much animosity toward each other, when everything wasn’t about race and people just got along.”"

Read the whole thing, it's a pro-click.

Basically establishment, big money Republicans are freaking out that Trump and Carson are laughably terrible but could actually win and at the same time are too chickenshit to put their own money on the line to do anything about it.

They're just crossing their fingers and hoping they magically disappear before the primary process really gets going.

as in winning the primary or the election? i assume the primary. trumps boasting and poo poo throwing can only get him so far. and carson is just kinda nuts maybe. part of me thinks that the establisment will try to run to cruz as a compromise, but even he is too bugfuck for the general.

The establishment really has no idea how to dislodge Trump right now and time is starting to run short. It hasn't yet dawned on them that the primary voting GOP base doesn't want a serious, electable establishment candidate. They want a giant middle finger covered in offensive bumper stickers, and that's exactly what Trump is.

seems to me like they should just give into their base and take the election loss, then blame the nutjobs after said loss and try to purge the party of unusable nutters. the Establishment can then try pretend to be the moderate ones and try to reform the party and cut out the social/tea party right. none of this will happen, but its an idea.

In non-mosque burning news, the Safe Campus Act is a thing, and like every congressional act, the name is not a good descriptor.

Editorialized HuffPo piece, but good connected sources.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elura-nanos/the-safe-campus-act-a-bil_b_8316646.html

The law would prohibit colleges from investigating sexual assault allegations if the victim refuses to report it to police as well. And if a police investigation is going on, it limits a campus' ability to discipline the student or organization being investigated. And only sexual assault allegations. It seems to block the mandatory reporting requirements for faculty advisors as well student campus employees.

The National fraternity and sorority organizations supported it for a long time, because they had a bone thrown to them reinforcing their single-sex exemptions. That's not true anymore.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/nic-safe-campus-act_56469994e4b08cda3488eed7

Schools are great for educating students, but tend to be absolutely awful at investigating and discipling students. The due process additions seem to be well-written and a good solution to the complete and utter lack of due process on college campuses right now (at least mine). But it's not worth limiting a school's ability to discipline students who are accused of committing sexual assault crimes. Or removing mandatory reporting requirements.

Limiting it to sexual assault allegations just seems wrong to me. I'd rather it be all or nothing when it comes to limits on what colleges can do to to punish students for their criminal acts.

I agree with parts of the law, at least the part of the first part.(if its truly serious then you should report it to the cops) but the rest comes off as bullshit especially the mandatory reporting stuff.

Sometimes victims don't feel comfortable going to law enforcement and it's good for them to have access to other services if they don't feel like they want to report. For example, part of the military's initiative against sexual assaults allows for unrestricted and restricted reporting, the former involving law enforcement and chain of command, the latter ensuring access to healthcare and advocacy services without automatically notifying law enforcement or command.

i guess my problem is after stuff like the rolling stones case and the matress case. i kinda of want a official investigation to go along with the colleges. that or you have incidents where the colleges sweep poo poo under the rug and tell the victims to keep quiet.

In other lighter news, let's check back in with collegechat, and why random white people in a library are practically the evilest people on earth:


So, in summary, if you're white and have to study in a library, which I don't understand why you would even attempt something like that at a university you dumb white slavemasters, please remember:

You're a filthy white gently caress
You're a racist poo poo
You're also probably a filthy white bitch (how many are would vary from campus to campus)
Don't cry because gently caress your white tears
When entering and exiting the library please kneel and and proclaim Black Lives Matter at the appointed White Guilt station

* If you have any questions or suggestions please go gently caress yourself.

wow, what exactly were they protesting? i mean specifically their at the library, what does it have to do with police brutality/killings toward the black community. I like BLM alot and i agree with their goal but what does screaming and assulting people in a library accomplish. your just going to give the right more ammo and its going to do is piss neutral/ pro BLM people off your side. why cant the young left ever not gently caress something up like it did with occupy and tumblr. I dont think they are evil or even wrong, they just do stupid poo poo that backfires badly when they try to push to hard. I dont like "Campusreform" because its a lovely right wing shill and the right doesnt want free speech on campus either, just "there" speech.

Basically, we're about to witness the increased politicization of the refugee resettlement system as a whole, which is still a slippery loving slope.
