Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

^ Kirk’s words ^
Those are paraphrases of Kirk's words. It might be more accurate to say those are his positions.
Why were universities letting this shit bag talk to their students?
Especially since he never attended any college or had any education after high school.
Because they are institutions that are trying to provide comprehensive discussion since the world is grey. We don’t have to like it, but that’s probably why they allow it. Plus, yes, they make money.
While they're at it, they should have an astrologist come debate the statistics professor.
"I understand your point, well ok, I don't really understand it, but that doesn't matter. Mercury is in retrograde so that explains everything. No need to bring numbers into this, unless we're consulting numerology, then we need them of course."
That's not why a conservative college in Utah does it
Cause they agree with him?? Cause he paid them to be there? Who the fuck knows.
Reporter: "Mr. Krab, why were universities letting this shit bag talk to their students?"
Mr. Krab: "...MONEY."
E: grammar
I've seen this before. It would really be a lot nicer if these quotes all had sources. Just showing someone a list of quotes with no context doesn't really scream "credible" to this target audience.
ThAt'S oUt oF cOnTeXt!!!! /s
I mean it is though. I don't see how a list of quotes with no sources is helpful.
Especially.since they're apparently paraphrases.
Could be a much more useful list
