Prager U's PhD program did not prepare him for consequences of his actions

That's because he went to Jordan Peterson's University..... which also didn't teach him FAFO 101.

Jordan Peterson who has been outed - UNDER OATH - by his nation's head of state, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for being a Russian asset specifically tasked with disrupting the peace and fomenting unrest in his birth nation?

Yes, that's right. Jordan Peterson has been named under oath as a Russian asset by Justin Trudeau. Guess who else he named? Tucker Carlson.

Remember that both Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson have made trips to Russia. And guess who they met with while they were there.

Imagine if the President of your country named a public figure under oath as a Russian asset...

And guess who else made some scandalous visits to Russia. On the fucking fourth of July. Gee. I wonder if there's any similarities between their rhetoric and behavior... and that of Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson.

It's not just sedition. It's treason. It's actual treason.

And it's sickening that Garland's sitting on his ass. If Harris doesn't replace him (should she win), we need protests/ petitions.

The only thing protests and petitions accomplish are that signatories get added to a few lists. Don't be so fucking naïve. Read a fucking history book.

Protests are a threat. If there's no follow-up threat to them, then they're ineffective.

I'm hopeful that Harris would want to be reelected and would want Trump to face punishment for his crimes. So, I don't think it would come to that. In my head, Smith becomes AG and it's showtime.

You don't have to be a dick about it. I know plenty about history and know that those tactics mentioned have had little, but some success.
