Nice sentiment but I'd rather see them drop the cute name, cut state funding for these cesspools entirely, and move on to the next order of business.

Bobs, Jims, and Jerry's have nick-names too. ;)
The stupid acronyms like USA PATRIOT and straight up lies (affordable care act) should go away too.

“I think universities are the perfect place to have these types of conversations,” said Scott Ketelsen, director of university relations at the University of Northern Iowa.

Ummm what "conversations"?  From what I gather, right now it's academic suicide for either faculty or students to act even slightly Trumpish.  Maybe even actually suicidal, considering the violence of some of the disappointees.

The latest buffoon to come out in support of safe spaces (although not on university campuses in this case) is our President-elect.

Uh yeah, because The Donald couldn't possibly be an expert in sarcasm.

Troll level: Presidential.

No argument that the man is a troll, an expert one even. I don't find it to be presidential though.

Possibly irrelevant, but just to lighten the mood on the concept of "Presidential":

I am informed informally that some Presidents are actually human beings.

some Presidents are actually human beings.

And the rest are alien lizard people.  [tinfoil]

Reagan was a man who used humor appropriately, effectively, and with good intent. It's been all down hill since then.

I for one am happy with president elect Trump aggressively trolling the media and progressives.

He has triggered them into an emotional blubbering incompetency. 

They still don't know what hit them.

I have heard that comment a lot this year about Trump.  However, there are a lot of lying, corrupt scumbags in D.C. that act "Presidential".  I'll wait and see what he gets done.  


Not to mention that I have heard a lot of past leaders people revere were pretty crude in private, some in public.  Just no cameras and internet back then.

I've always heard that LBJ could let the expletives fly.

Not a big fan of twitter but it is one battlefield in the war.  Ceding it completely to the enemy is unwise.  And given twitters limitations, the quick witty and contemptuous quip is the best response to leftist gasbaggery. 

Or maybe trump ought to take his cue from the conservative sorts who have failed to conserve anything the last 50 years and just let the enemy walk all over him?
