That picture looks like a mug shot
Sounds like a First Amendment violation. Given this is a GOP lawmaker, standard GOP lack of understanding of the Constitution would reinforce that impression. Any lawyers want to weigh in?
Go out and smash some windows at the State Universities. You know you want to. Bastions of leftist liberals gather there. You can even add a “Lock Them Up” clause in the bill.
The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/2fRd0W5 ) reports that Rep. Bobby Kaufmann calls the planned legislation the “suck it up, buttercup bill.” It would target state universities that use taxpayer dollars to fund election-related sit-ins and grief counseling above and beyond what is normally available to students.
I think that they tried this in Missouri.
Oh well, if at first ya don’t succeed…
He will walk it back…depending on commotion.
Im getting the impression that he wants the universities to start using campus police to handle the protesters.
Tasers, rubber bullets, then call out the national guard. That worked so well after all.
Or we could just go with:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Nawww… Just arrests the rabble for anti-trump…er…American speech.
Once again a vainglorious Rethuglican *yahoo is peddling a legislative solution in search of a problem.
State Rep. Bobby Kaufmann wants to target Iowa colleges and universities that spend extra taxpayer money counseling students who feel afraid for themselves or their families because of the ascent of Drumpf and his violent minions. Just to make sure his message is heard, he proposes withholding twice the amount of money the institutions spend on the extra counseling services.
The kicker to all of this is that the colleges and universities haven’t spent any extra money. So, obviously, the point is moot from the outset.
But hey, never let a crisis — in this case an obvious feeling of personal inadequacy on little Bobby’s part — go to waste. Am I right?
*Fun Fact: There is a town in Nebraska called Yahoo.
One need only imagine for just a moment what it would be like to actually write such a bill to understand this ass-hat will do no such thing. He’s grabbing headlines to fellatiate Trumpers and this goofy article is aiding and abetting this silliness. Stop it. Stop it at once!
But it must be important. It got play on Russia Today!
I’ve actually been in a student protest, but right now I’d love for him to clarify that bill’s intent.
It’s actually Wahoo. Not that it matters worth a damn. Nebraska is deep red hick land.
I wouldn’t expect a lot of clarification. The real meaning will be left unsaid–for now,

Im going to add similar to what i previous said, because the idea behind the Missouri bill’s intent was to strip student-athletes of their scholarships, if they were caught protesting.
We are in complete agreement here.
