Her family was part of the Barre government.

What job has the job title, “Teacher of teachers”?

If you’re an actual professor in teaching, you would say, “Professor of teaching at Mogadishu University” not “teacher of teachers”. Where did he teach teachers?

I’m not an expert on the science of optics, but my intuition is that a notch in a crystal ball isn’t going to to ANYTHING to improve the clarity of the outcome one perceives.

And isn’t it a little convenient that the support staff just happened to have 144 baskets on hand to collect the leftovers in?

I am always pleased when I can answer a question promptly, without hesitation or doubt.

I have no idea.

He also learned some decent Somali, I might note:

Then you are unbelievably stupid.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I recommend caution - nothing more and nothing less. Up to you all. It’s your necks. My party is too small for it to matter if we misstep.

Do you think “teacher of teachers” is a more or less real job title than “master of fortune”?

Have anything other than a three year old post from a GOP communications specialist?

Border control agents held US citizen children at Chicago’s O’Hare airport, refusing to release them till their undocumented parents came to get them.

Life is too short to look at every bit of nonsensical “proof” that JFK was shot from a UFO parked on the grassy knoll.

Personally, I’m hoping for something more like Buzz Aldrin’s approach.

Actually, you do not recommend caution. A cautious view would be one that accepts two facts: 1-Omar’s brother is already, by virtue of being her brother, an immediate family member and therefore faking up a marriage to have him become an immediate family members does not do anything, and 2-anyone pushing this lame and absolutely bigoted conspiracy theory needs to have some damned good proof to be taken seriously.

You’re pushing it, your protestations notwithstanding. Actually, you’re JAQing off to it.

The Individual 1 campaign is literally selling plastic straws to stick it to the liberals.

$15 for 10 straws? They must be making a fortune off of Trump followers.

And why are they accusing paper straws of being “liberal”?

Because they are more environmentally friendly. And since liberals want to protect the environment it is the patriotic duty of every red blooded American do do what he can to destroy it. If seals don’t choke on plastic than the socialists win.

Some environmentalists are pushing for plastic straws to be banned or phased out because they end up floating in the ocean. I think some jurisdictions have banned them. Anyway one alternative is paper straws. So, some environmentalists oppose plastic straws, therefore plastic straws are fucking awesome and paper straws are for soyboys. I think that’s the extent of their thinking, such as it is.

The Cohen info dump shows that Hope Hicks may have lied to the House committee.

Can we get them to replace some coal plants with nuclear to ‘stick it to the liberals’? B cause that would be awesome

(though on the other hand … can we trust the safety standards of a nuclear plant funded by trumpistas? Maybe if it gets built within 5k of Mar a Lago)

ETA: IRT the straw thing, obviously

She might end up in jail. From the article:

Ted Lieu’s “Did @TheJusticeDept or @WhiteHouse lawyers know she was lying?” question is a thread that needs pulling.

Bite the ends off a piece of licorice and use that. If drinking straws are a political statement, I guess that puts me in the Silly Party. I used to do that even before plastic straws were a known menace to society.
