I long believed that if you can’t have compassion and sympathy for someone who makes a mistake you should fuck off.

Good call. The 700+ kids who drowned in the US last year deserved to die for being stupid and have improved the gene pool with their deaths. You should congratulate their parents for their contributions to the future of humanity.

Which is really similar to what happened to Clinton. You had one candidate putting forward serious suggestions for how to handle important issues in the country, and one candidate who lied about everything and promised that his mere presence in the White House would make everything okay, and most of the media coverage…

Funny how no one tells the large number of white male conservatives to tone down their rhetoric for dumber shit... but Omar needs to tone down hers for making valid statements on what people in government prioritize... and how they choose to paint particular groups of people with a broad brush stroke.

She won her election by 56 points. No, she didn’t get 56% of the votes. She WON by 56 points, 78-22. That’s about as liberal a district as one could ask for. She’s doing exactly what her constituents want (and should want - TrumpCo deserves to be called out early and often).

I’m her constituent, and this kind of honesty and integrity is precisely why she’ll keep my vote. Kowtowing to people on both sides of the aisle who want her to stay quiet is precisely what I DO NOT want her to be doing.

Also, not for nothing, but her district has a MASSIVE East African immigrant population. I think…

But don’t you see the incredible hypocrisy from Republicans on this? We can feel that Rep. Omar would benefit from speaking more cautiously, but these vicious attacks from Trump-supporters (the man who conflates Jewish Americans with Israelis daily - talk about dual loyalty) are disingenuous and motivated by…

Hi. Straight white guy who lives in Omar’s district here. I voted for her. As long as she keeps doing what she’s doing and doesn’t turn into a dumb, I’ll vote for her again. Howsabout you ease up with the proclamations on whether or not she’ll be re-elected? I mean this with all due respect: you don’t know what you’re…

if “out-of context quotes can’t be pulled by right wing conservatives to construe this in a bad light” is the standard, then nobody would be able to say anything, ever.

either you are trolling or disingenuous. Your argument only works in the same way that black parents need to have “the talk” with their black sons around how to act in front of police. It’s an unfair double standard.

That’s the beauty of a world where only white people are actually presumed innocent until proven guilty. Until they actually start shooting, they’re just innocent patriots exercising their protected rights. After they’ve started shooting, they are just lone, crazed madmen who are a sign of nothing more than maybe the…

So Omar gets death threats and it’s somehow her fault?

Feature, not a bug.

What rhetoric? Are you fucking kidding? She’s pointing out basic objective facts and people are threatening to kill her. Who the fuck ungreyed you?

When it comes to field-level crowd control at major events, there’s no security better than 66 y/o paraplegics

Not just a crime against her, but somebody gave pornography to a minor, so whoever did that really needs to go to jail right now.

This is what we’re talking about when we’re referencing the Tyrannical Patriarchy.

I understand what you’re saying, and in situations where it really is consensual, I’d agree. Let sex workers do their sex work if they are willing. However it is very hard to say it is ever truly consensual when it involves a rich, powerful man and a poor, powerless woman. Even if this turns out not to be outright…

This is a guy who has used his “platform” to support a white nationalist and to amplify white nationalist distortion of Colin Kaepernick’s thoughtful and justified protest of police violence against African-Americans. He has plenty to be sorry for.
