Ilhan Omar is unfit for office (Darwin: for rent, gated, housing)

Can't speak for Glenfield obviously, but one of my guesses would be that it's because all too often the entire state gets lumped in with her from the national perspective whenever she does or says something reprehensible....

....which is quite often.

It was an error. I thought I had posted it to the MSP forum.

Yes. I don’t start many threads. I asked the moderator to move it. Any other issues you have today?

Ilhan Omar is showing her true colors on Twitter today by advocating flogging for another Muslim who accused her of adultery. This is a bit twisted for a US lawmaker.

Let’s hope that they reject identity politics and vote Omar out of office this year.

I want Rashida Tlaib for President! and Ilhan Omar for Secretary of State after the November election. I would prefer Omar for President but she's ineligible under the Constitution. As for Tlaib:

Rashida Tlaib has not yet declared but in many ways she'd be the ideal Democratic nominee. She has risen from being dirt poor to Congress. That's great in itself. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has that quality but sadly is too young to run. She's 29.

Tlaib checks off the following identity boxes:

1. Female
2. Young
3. Minority
4. Progressive
5. Single mother (divorced)
6. Rashida Tlaib becomes first Muslim woman to preside over House floor
7. For Rashida Tlaib, Palestinian Heritage Infuses a Detroit Sense of Community

She hates what America has become, loves what it can be. She can help expand the glorious diversity of the future of America and shuck the hidebound ideology of its past, which correctly led the Right Reverend Jeremiah Wright to express negative views on America before the Obama presidency (link to source, and here's a transcript) :

The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law, and then wants us to sing “God Bless America.” No, no, no. Not “G-d Bless America”; God Dim America! That’s in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God Damn America for treating her citizen as less than human. God Damn America as long as she keeps trying to act like she is God and she is supreme!

The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African decent.

Tlaib can, in short, absorb the disaffected of America, and make them into equal citizens.

Another aspect is that unlike Trump she is a calm person, soothed, even by events in which others find only horror. She can find the positive in anything, take lemons and make lemonade as it were.

No doubt, an April Fools Post, and a good one.

Be careful, someone might believe you.

Not necessarily. If you checked my posts rather than my Bio I am an liberal Democratic extremist with an IQ of 79. So maybe I'm not that smart.
