I may be a #ThoughtCriminal (https://pistol-forum.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=ThoughtCriminal) for thinking that her stunts would get her buried up to her neck and stoned to death in the parts of the world she wishes we'd emulate.

Yep, the bloom is coming off the rose, finally.
Even Pravda-on-the-Mississippi AKA the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is finally reporting something.

As an aside,
I do not know why it is not more widely publicized that Omar's parents were both officials in the regime of despised Somali dictator Siad Barre. That's part of the reason for their ending up in a Kenyan refugee camp.

She's just better than mom & dad were in her choice of stable political situations to try and milk for advantage.

During the pre-lslamic period of ignorance I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along with them. (Bukhari, vol. 5, bk. 58, no. 188)

Calling her an adulterer is like calling Cuomo "Fredo". If the shoe fits...

Something is really broken in America if people like this one get elected...

A little bit of inside baseball:

Nancy Pelosi's people are surely in talks with the state DFL to make sure this sort of thing gets nipped in the bud in future elections. I m thinking Omar's taking first state then national office was partially an F-U from Keith Ellison to the Democratic National Committee.
He probably got the State Attorney General seat via Soros influence.

Omar replaced a party line liberal Jewish woman who had served many, many terms with little controversy.

I see increasing games of whack-a-mole in the future: the thing that the Donald, AOC, Omar, et al. have in common is all being "middle fingers" to the establishment. JMO.

Very interesting. This scandal seems like it won't be contained by the mainstream media, but you never know. Look at how long it's taking to reveal the Russian collusion framing of Trump by our agencies.

You did notice who occupies the White House right?

I think that the Democrats could highlight their commitment to equality before the law by applying the Al Franken standard in this case.

One can go far in US politics if you just say the right words......for awhile. Sooner or later people get tired of your BS.

Shit, look at the Bush, Clinton, and Kennedy families.

[Borderland]

I think that has a lot to do with family ties to big money. My guess is none of the fantastic four in congress has those ties. All local infatuation in Omar's case. Very few politicians will make it without PAC (corporations) support.

Are you saying these four made it with corporate support? I am genuinely asking here, not being flippant.

Nope, probably without it. They won't be around very long unless they become more mainstream. Just a guess.

Wonder how many members of that local Somali immigrant community would stay infatuated if they knew her back story.

[Totem Polar]

This is waaaaay tangential, but: if hillary had got the DNC nod in ’08 instead of Obama, and had gone on to 2 terms, we would have had almost 30 years of just two families in the oval office. That’s some nepotistic shit, right there.

I like the cut of your jib, bro.

Seems like the alleged affair partner runs a political consulting group that is alleged to have received over $200k in campaign funds. Allegedly.

Representative Omar calls questions about it "stupid."

This just keeps getting better.

Vote the incumbent out has some merit. I practice it religiously.

This country would be far better off if politicians couldn't make a career out of politics. I don't care who gets into office.

One and done.

Minnesota Public Radio did an interview with Representative Omar yesterday. They asked folks to put questions for the interview on Twitter.

I would bet that intern got sacked.

Funnily, the only answer from the congresswoman that hasn't been deleted was in praise of Louis Farrakhan...

It looks as though that one's only still there because it was a quote from a separate thread. I have a hard time understanding how she's going to get another term, but I also won't be surprised when it happens. She ticks all of the right identity boxes for left-wing political success, and she's in a district that is very firmly left.

Okay, now the plot is starting to get a little faster:

https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/09/report-ilhan-omars-current-husband-spills/

Local lawyer who runs Power line blog is also reporting. He has sources within the Minneapolis Somali community.

T'would be quite entertaining to see a current member of Congress go to jail.

(Link edited-should work properly now)
