How has the disgraced, CONVICTED FELON, former but once again President Trump pissed you off today? (Part 2)

ummm… What? More jibberish.

There were plenty of afternoon showing of the film, and there are more than 100 verified (through Fandango ticket purchases) ratings of the film, by registered RT users. I don’t think these are bots, I think they’re MAGA lovers encouraged to review-bomb the site. Whether they actually saw the movie, who knows, but I suspect they showed up and watched with their mouths hanging open.

This send like a good place to park this article:

Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion

How effective is it to impose tariffs when there’s no trade between Cuba and the United States?

I assume the crisis between Cuba and the US is why we need tariffs on other nations. Maybe because they support Cuba?

:thinking:

Nostalgically looks back on a time when presidents put their assets in blind trusts while they were in office. Sigh.

That at least makes sense, if anything that originates in his twisted mind does.

Of course the end result will be free trade among the entire rest of the world, with the US left frozen out.

FEMA? HAVING A DISASTER? Don’t call us, nobody’s home.

Politifact FL: Under Trump, more FEMA disaster assistance applications are in limbo for longer

As of Jan. 28, FEMA listed 18 pending disaster declarations awaiting Trump’s approval. Eleven are more than a month old and some date back to October. Disaster management experts said the backlog is particularly large compared with what’s typical and that requests are sitting longer than normal.

A September 2025 AP analysis found that over the last 37 years — which covers most of FEMA’s existence and the timeframe when it implemented its current assistance system — disaster declarations were typically approved in three weeks or less. Approvals are taking more than a month, on average, so far during Trump’s second term.

Sadly, I can post this outrage all day long. I despair.
Trump officials awarded Venezuela oil-sale contracts to firms tied to bribery

The licenses come a year after the Trump administration gutted the foreign corrupt practices unit of the Justice Department, which brought charges against the two companies and their traders in 2020 and 2024.

I know the “married her own brother” is a lie, but usually there is some bizarre twisting of truth to come to maga’s insane claims. What is the real story here?

Yes, and Trump is interested in keeping Marco happy, because Marco is currently doing four jobs. The money saved—salaries, overhead, Secret Service protection—is impressive.

You’ve got to remember that these people have no taste. They think Greg Gutfield is the height of comedy. They love Kid Rock and Keven Sorbo. They think Trump is awesome. Every single one of them will eat this shit up.

So… breathing normally.

The real, and uncontested, story is that Ilhan Omar’s marital history is a bit convoluted and unclear. She has had legal and/or Muslim ceremonial (recognized by Muslim society and jurisprudence even if not in accordance with secular law) forms of marriage and/or divorce with Ahmed Hirsi and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, both Muslims of Somali origin. And there apparently were some irregularities as to which one(s) she was filing joint tax returns with at various points in the evolution of her legal marital status.

As of 2020, Omar is married to Tim Mynett, who AFAICT is American-born and non-Muslim (and was a political consultant working on her campaign when they began their relationship, which has also given rise to some criticism). I presume that Omar at the time of their marriage was validly legally divorced from anybody she might have needed a legal divorce from.

AFAICT, conservative propaganda in 2016 began accusing Omar and Elmi of being siblings who married for some unspecified immigration status benefit to her. In fact, Omar was granted asylum status in the US with her family in 1995, when she was 12, and in 2000 at age 17 she became a US citizen. So by the time of her first marriage to Hirsi in 2002, she didn’t need any immigration status help from anybody.

Also AFAICT, there is zero reliable evidence that Elmi and Omar (or Hirsi and Omar, for that matter) are siblings. The issue is complicated by the lack of birth records for Somali refugees. Apparently there are claims in social media posts about Elmi at one point referring to Omar’s newborn child (with Hirsi) as a “niece”, but I have no idea what that may mean in their culture. Sibling marriage is forbidden in Islam, and I very much doubt that any responsible Muslim cleric would have sanctioned such a marriage.

Anyway, the salient points seem to be this:

  • It is indisputable that Ilhan Omar has been a US resident since age 12 and a US citizen since age 17, years before she ever married anybody;
  • It appears certain that Omar is now not married in any way to anybody except Tim Mynett, who is indisputably not her brother;
  • There is no credible evidence that Omar or any of her husbands ever committed or attempted immigration fraud.
  • All the Republican rumors and gossip about this issue seem to consist simply of endless chewing and re-chewing of the same insufficiently supported allegations inferred several years ago from some ambiguously worded social media posts of some of the individuals involved.

TL;DR: Ilhan Omar’s marital history has been somewhat eventful and maybe not free from some errors of judgement (though how on earth the thrice-married serial adulterer, sexual abuser and probably rapist Donald Trump thinks he’s entitled to call her out for that, I have no idea). But nothing about it has affected in any way her previously established status as a US citizen.

It’s the same kind of racist, fantastical bullshit as Obama birtherism.

If you mean a vapid, self-centered narcissistic person with dubious fashion sense, then yes.

We can just be grateful that is not too common for women to wear ties, Melania would tie a Double Windsor knot with one hand while our man Donald can barely manage the simplest tie known by himself.

Dear Mr. Trump, tell me how you have no idea about the Cuban Missile Crisis without telling me you have no idea about the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I doubt he can tie his shoes.

You know how there are the claims that Trump is threatening Greenland to distract us from ICE which is to distract us from Epstein etc. All of that is to distract us from this.

This is the true agenda of the Trump administration one that is indefensible and in normal times would have caused bipartisan outrage, but which has gotten little if any air time given all of the other awfult shit Turmp has done.
