Washington CNN — President Joe Biden on Thursday attempted to balance the right to free speech and his desire for law and order in his first extensive remarks on campus protests against the war in Gaza – but insisted he has not changed his support for Israel.

“We are not an authoritarian nation where we silence people or squash dissent,” Biden said. “… Peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues.”
“But,” Biden added, “neither are we a lawless country.”
Destroying property, Biden said, “is not a peaceful protest. It’s against the law.”
“Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancelation of classes and graduation – none of this is a peaceful protest,” the president said. “Threatening people, intimidating people, instilling fear in people is not peaceful protest. It’s against the law.”
Biden said dissent “is essential to democracy” but that it “must never lead to disorder, or to denying the rights of others.”
they're destroying PROPERTY
America: where you can kill people over violating your property but don’t you dare violate property over 34,000 people being killed.

Someone tell him children hospitals in Gaza used to be property
If Trump gets re-elected....
Could you imagine your whole fifty year political career leading up to this kayfabe ass set of elections where he is barely doing better with voters than Donald fucking trump?
What is it all for? It's not even like Biden is rich or got to go visit Epstein island or whatever people like him strive for. You get to invite Bruce Springsteen to the white house occasionally. That's the big prize.
I know youre joking, but to take you too seriously, don't discount the presidency in this form.
This man is free. For at least the past 4 years, maybe till the end of his life, he has unlimited power. no matter what he does, with the DNCs and medias help his actions will always be better than an imaginary trump. Every action he takes, unlike any time in memory, he has no detractors with a voice. He's "better than" forever. No matter what he has backers, political and in journalism, legitimizing this sham of a democracy. If he loses the election? It's America's falling to facsism, not because he himself is...Like seriously, he's in a position where he has nothing to lose, and he's making hay.
That's a great point, but he seems to be squandering it in my opinion. Unless he's just that boring
Not even prime Bruce either. Damn.
Was there even property destruction?
I would say the CIA would kill George Washington and/or the Boston Tea party nerds, (or Sherman or any/all of the Union leaders) but at this point I think Liberals would take matters into their own hands.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds
