It appears Ms. Omar’s off-again, on-again marriage is [off again](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ilhan-omar-files-for-divorce). > [@](#): > > Omar and Hirsi were married in a religious ceremony in 2002. The two separated in 2008, then legally remarried in 2018. > > “There has been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship,” the court documents filed in Minnesota say. Her soon-to-be ex is apparently broke - maybe he can get a [job as a political consultant](https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/27/ilhan-omar-funded-travel-alleged-affair/). Regards, Shodan ---

Maybe she should find an Eastern European model working in the US on the wrong kind of visa to marry. I hear that has no political consequences at all. ---

Bring the new one in, on an “Einstein visa” and then “chain” the rest of the family in too. And give them top jobs in national security or decision making posts. ---

I’d just like to point out that about 2 weeks ago, I asked **Kearsen1** to post a cite for a claim he made about me, and he still hasn’t done so. Seems likely he was pulling stuff out of his ass, and rather than say “oops, I guess I made a mistake” (which isn’t a big deal – I’ve made mistakes too), he chooses to ignore it.
