Ilhan Omar - A thread about her marriage and immigration history.

What is the reason for the obsession with this one member of Congress, not just on the part of the OP but also Fox News and others?

The Authoritarian Party needs to create a “Goldstein” so they can focus their Two Minutes Hate.

Orwell seems to have been quite good at predicting the future.

I suspect because she’s the only one of “The Squad” that Trump told to “go home” that actually immigrated into the US. There’s no point in making the others “poster children” for anti-immigration hate, because they were born here. But telling her to “go home” sounds less insane than telling the others to do so.

Since when did the Trumpsters ever believe in the sanity clause?

You know, I didn’t realize that this thread was already a couple of days old. I fear that it may be another few years before Annoyed returns to expound on this story.

The OP’s profile says “Cell activated, 7/20/19”.

Over a year and a half between join date and first post? Apparently not long enough. No need for a second post.

And then, for whatever reason, Omar decided that she didn’t like the prospect of the free money that she could get by suing their assess.

I don’t think you have a very clear understanding of the concept of “free”. Things that you have to make an effort to obtain are not free.

You’re just scared. The OP cited some dickhead with a blog and a random asshole on Twitter. Gotcha libtards!

Well if you can’t trust some dickhead with a blog and some random guy on twitter over a Member of Congress and the entire monolithic fake news complex, just who can you trust?

The alternative is that a few right-wing bloggers were able to falsify a fairly prodigious quantity of screenshots, learning Somali along the way, at a much higher level than their graphic abilities would seem to indicate. And then, for whatever reason, Omar decided that she didn’t like the prospect of the free money that she could get by suing their assess.

I’ve gotta ask, Sage Rat:

How do you feel about the fact that a shitty troll, possible sock is taking up your cause with a drive-by, single question JAQ-off of a post? I mean, you seem to be pretty pleased with it so far.

How do we know it isn’t his sock?

Your assumption is incorrect.

Good to know. That would certainly make the odds lower that the brother hypothesis is correct, though it still doesn’t explain how it came to be that Omar ended up cohabiting with two husbands at the same time. And it is still peculiar that one of the two would have the name Dad Jr., though that does happen sometimes by happenstance and could simply be a happenstance.

I have not endorsed that the theory is true, merely that there’s sufficient evidence that something funny was going on that it would probably be unwise for the Democrats to rest their political fortunes on Omar. Trying to make her a political star, because Trump attacks her, is unwise.

It should also be pointed out that her grandpa worked at a fairly high level in the Somali government during the period of its executing a genocide. There may be other reasons that the family doesn’t want people looking too hard into their past.

Ah, an interesting, albeit rare, sighting of an embryonic Gish Gallop.

In any event, there’s clearly Something Funny going on. Something Funny. Won’t someone please ring up Bill Barr and get him to investigatin’?

I like to pretend they’re little arrows. If I can get a handful of them at dinner I’ll stab them all into my meat and pretend it was a wooly mammoth brought down by tribal hunters.
