I don;t see how halting education and economic activity is a productive way to protest ICE operations.

Nothing demonstrates you're teaching our kids to be productive citizens quite like using them to protest against removing illegal non-citizens.
Aren't there laws against aiding and abetting criminals in the commission of their crimes?
Aiding and abetting refers to the act of helping or encouraging another
person to commit a crime, making the aider or abettor criminally liable
to the same extent as the principal offender. This legal doctrine allows
for prosecution even if the person who aided or abetted was not directly
involved in the crime itself.

Nice list of “businesses” to avoid - although it takes no effort, as I would never patronize these anyway.
Tiny handful of fringe businesses in Kaimuki yapping about the enforcement of laws that every administration prior to the last one enforced - at which time they could care less.
Thanks HawaiiNewsNow for yet another pathetic propaganda piece.
Hopefully, all similarly-minded “businesses” will jump on this awesome bandwagon and close or otherwise self identify, so we can watch them die a suitable death.

That's why boycotts really don't work nowadays unless they become reverse-boycotts -- in which case the opposite outcome is achieved. Chick-Fil-A was a perfect example.
The people trying to organize a boycott are usually the types who don't frequently support those companies with their patronage. So, threatening to withhold money most of your group never spends there to start with has no teeth. Unless they convince the 'other side' to join the boycott, the boycott withers on the vine. The people agree with the companies' opinions and enjoy spending their money there aren't going to be talked into action that has no merit no matter how emotional the appeals.
In most recent cases, the people who disagree with the boycott's basis get together and advertise a day to go support the business with purchases. They boost sales so much, it turns the boycott into the best sales the company has ever seen. It shows that the radical left wing nuts do not have the power to run anyone out of business, mainly because their beliefs and causes are insane if not just plain stupid.

You can’t spell Kaimuki without “testosterone”
Oh wait you totally can…

Yep, there is no dimension of civil society that they will leave undefiled in their never-ending quest to create hell on earth.
Must be a cry for help in getting to their sweaty subterranean Valhalla.
Makes you want to give them a shove in the right direction…

i was wondering why they had this story the other night
then the bills come out about banning weapons training and brandishing dangerous weapons
the media is a dangerous weapon...

Unfortunately true.
Nice work as usual.

Interesting that these small businesses want to support the cause but know that reality kicks in as far as looking out for their livelihood and their employees. Good for them.
Interesting that the asshats that started this movement don't give a shit about all of the above.
In addition, they must love the closing of the schools. Especially during the BS covid times. They love to keep the children stupid. Easier to douse them with their communist brainwashing rhetoric.

There's no coincidence regarding the timing that the riots and protests take place just when the massive Democratic Party fraud machine gets exposed.
Uncle Tim's Learing center.... Riots
Los Angeles Hospice industrial complex... Riots
Honolulu $35,000 cash bribe in a paper bag... Protests
The media is trying very hard to keep people from noticing that the entire DNC needs to be brought up on RICO charges

The leftists believe their mission is to have complete control of the kids.
The indoctrination is non stop. Neva mind teaching them real life skills.
The 3 Rs now stand for RIOT RIOT RIOT against anyone who disagrees..

Instead of teaching the children how to think for themselves,

I don't get this either. Trump couldn't care one bit if Minnesota or Hawaii halts shopping for a day. It's not even like it will even significantly the amount of taxes either so what's the point beyond a feel good response for them?

Those with TDS don't think with logic.

When "they" call for a nationwide shutdown of businesses, schools, and work it shows they don't give a flying f*ck about anything or anybody except their agenda.
After all, somebody is paying them to do what they do. They don't care. They getting paid.

If Trump can break the funding loop the paid agitators will stay home.
He had better hurry up because if they get back into power again we are all going to the gulag.

Not all protesters have TDS though.
It just seems short sighted so I am trying to figure out if I missed something or they don't understand Trump very well.

How do you know that? Most polls and interviews with protestors asking why they are protesting now and they didn't when Obama was deporting even more than Trump, their answers are the same: because this time it's Trump.
TDS is the common denominator. please provide your own evidence that not all protestors have TDS. i don't think you can, because your belief is false.
Mass deportation: Who was more 'inhumane' -- Obama or Trump?
What a difference an administration makes. Or rather, what a difference
the media coverage of an administration makes.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mass-deportation-who-was-more-inhumane-obama-or-trump/ar-AA1VGbSN
That pretty much sums it up. Without the TDS factor being stoked by a Progressive anti-Trump media, people would be blissfully turning a blind eye to the deportations -- because they did it already under Obama.

First prove all protestors have TDS.

That is not a perfect comparison though, the way ICE is being managed under Obama is not the same as it is being managed under Trump. Yeah, same agency and Obama had loads of deportations but there is a lot going wrong in ICE right now. When Trump first started he had sizeable support on immigration but he has squandered much of that away with how he is handling things. Illegal immigration should have been his biggest success story.

Prove they don't "all" have it. All it takes is one -- we already went through that in another thread, remember?
It should be earlier for you to find the exception than demand that I canvass every single protestor -- an impossibility since many of them are masked and refuse to show their faces on camera.
The mere fact that they are protesting this president and not Obama is evidence enough of TDS. They certainly aren't basing it on facts. If they were, they'd be staying home or going to work.

Nice try. that doesn't absolve the other poster from proving their blanket statement first. Saying I only have to give you one example doesn't put the burden of proof on me, it still rests on the person making the claim.

Since you won't (and can't realistically) psychoanalyze every protester then maybe don't go making blanket statements...

Therein lies the rub, essentially arguing that opposing Trump is proof enough to qualify someone for TDS. I already pointed out to you that what happened under Obama is different enough to not be a fair comparison. Yes there is knee jerk reaction to anything Trump does (TDS) but there is also plenty of stuff Trump does to object to without being someone with TDS.
Plus I think I could count someone on the right with ODS for ever person on the left with TDS so we are hardly talking about a side specific phenomenon.

Bill O'Reilly went straight out and said it. He brought up the above facts and figures and made the conclusion that the only difference is President Trump. I shared his video somewhere here on one of the threads.
They. Hate. Trump.

I'm not either but even a doofus like me can see that under the Obama regime, there was cooperation.
Nobody took to the streets, obstructed ICE, tried to run them over, or kick their tailights in while screaming at them, biting off their fingers, etc.
Nobody gave a shiite.
"What's that? An ICE operation? That's harsh, man."
"Yeah. Obama's doing a nationwide, full on crackdown"
"He is? Oh OK. It's cool then".
High Five each other. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Maybe you should take your own advice in light of the number of times you've pretended to label everyone here who agrees with Trump as MAGA lemmings who support everything he says and does without exception.
How many times have you been accused of believing you can read people's minds without ever meeting them?

Not all, but I would guess many do. Because ALL implies 100%.

He's more about arguing over 100% vs. not 100% than realizing that any percentage over 50% is enough to drive a mob to irrational behavior.

This here is the exact truth.
…. and we know why - this is the lynchpin strategy for their “final solution” for the U.S. - the last piece to cement permanent subversion of our representative democracy.
This is THE existential fight for our nation.

Maui: No mo housing! We gotta shut down all the vacation rentals and pay more taxes!
Also Maui: We need illegals to do crimes, go on welfare and take away housing from locals!
