So who let you in? Awfully convenient you get to close the door after you are already inside... 

I am pretty sure that this officially makes us the “bad guys.”

Americans of good conscience? You’re all going to have to get violent to stop this. The next Democratic president won’t do shit and you know it.

mark... 10:31 am.  I can no longer read any news about this administration today.

I’m a big Ilhan Omar fan, but I think she’s off-base here. This wasn’t a Breitbart troll trying to snare her in an awkward soundbite. The questioner probably knew of Omar’s voting record and was posing this as an opportunity for Omar to affirm her position on the issue and proactively blunt “radical mozlum” bullshit.…

That was a bad answer and this is a bad take.  Tucker Carlson isn’t asking the question in bad faith as a way to discriminate against Muslims.  This is a Muslim activist asking for help from a powerful Muslim lawmaker at a Muslim conference to help a Muslim community where the problem exists.

The conference was in DC, not Dearborn. Obviously, there are communities all over the country where the Muslim population is a larger minority than others, but I was really speaking in terms of national locality (i.e., about 1/7 of the world is Muslim, but only about 1/100 of Americans are Muslim), and among the…

So a Muslim activist asking a question relevant to the largest Muslim community in the US to a Muslim Congressional representative at a Muslim conference is now nonsense? I disagree.If there was ever a situation meeting the “correct time and place” criteria, this was it.

yeah, no this is not a good look at all, given that the questioner was a muslim activist asking for support for a cause which she says is an issue in her area.

I get that, but she was literally at a panel held by the Muslim Caucus Education Collective, being asked a question by a community activist from the Muslims for Progressive Values. Not exactly shocking that an Islam-specific issue would come up.

She already has a record on FGM, and has done exactly what this reporter was asking her to do on multiple occasions.

Yeah, honestly, it sounds like she was getting defensive over a bad question when this was not actually a bad question.

Ani Osman-Zonneveld of the human rights group Muslims for Progressive Values asked Omar to condemn female genital mutilation (FGM).

That’s politically understandable. Which is why I don’t believe it to be the real reason given that it comes from the Trump administration. There has to be something more ridiculous, like a sex dungeon in a pizza parlor or some shit.

Yes, they have. What’s your point? Are you saying I shouldn’t critique the F-35 program because “people always bitch”?

I never said aerospace was “easy”, did I?

Dealing with a single branch is a problem; three at the same time is just a recipe for a continuously accommodating a slippery shifting specification. Example: a submarine was behind schedule and the Navy was pissed. Then the maker, tired of being slagged in the press, let out that the Navy was issuing about 1000…

I’m critical of the program for a variety of reasons. It’s been riddled with problems from the get-go, and the results haven’t exactly impressed me. From where I sit, the F-35 is mostly a tech development platform.  It _might_ serve to show the way for the generation after it ... maybe.  

“That will give information about the advanced capabilities of the fighter...”

The information for the plans of a fighter jet that has been in production for years and had the blueprints shamelessly stolen by Chinese hackers then successfully reverse-engineered, copied, and put into production in less than 1/3rd the…

Russia is making moves on not only Syria, but Turkey as well... this isn’t exactly a good thing.
