How can one NOT know to whom they are legally married?

Dumb fat luck, eh?! You’re off the hook in having to address the tax return disclosure question.

Maybe you should edit the thread title then.

The parts that are cited are factual. So I’ve already done that.

It has not been my experience that posting things a second time helps.

**Shodan** , I’m saying I can’t follow your OP because you mix snark and non-question questions with your questions. Can you restate it with the relevant cites in a more normal way? For example:

* * *

There are indications that Omar mishandled campaign finance money. Here’s a cite with a relevant quote:

…

Further, it appears she lied about that. Here’s a cite with a relevant quote:

…

## I think it is unethical for her to have done this and she should be…\<censured by the House? Thrown in jail? Something else we can debate?\>

Or don’t. Your OP appears to be a rant to me and should have been posted in the pit. Your subsequent post that’s in Debate form is too disconnected from the OP for me to bother making the connections. Do whatever you want.

Republicans have lost the right to complain about ethics or tax returns without everyone pointing at them and laughing.

Upon thinking on it while driving to an appointment, the thread title and bit about her brother is pure trolling, Shodan.

I’m giving you a warning for it and closing the thread. Don’t do this sort of nonsense again.
