Republican gunning for Ilhan Omar's seat charged with felony shoplifting

[Vic]

Even if true, just about anyone is better than that anti-American, pro-al Qaeda, peddler of lies, Ilhan Omar.

This is how Republicans suppress free speech, by falsely accusing everyone whose speech they disagree with of being anti-American, pro-terrorism, traitorous, and should be "sent back" even when they're legal American citizens and duly elected members of Congress.

Your hatred of free speech is what is truly anti-American.

There is no way this district would ever vote Republican. It has to be one of the most blue districts in the Midwest. That said, I don't know what Republicans hoped to gain by propping someone like this up.

Probably votes, worked well for them in the past.

Remember Christine O'Donnell? I think she had a witchcraft hobby. Why her name came to mind as it occurred to me that Stella is a cat person, I can't say.

Then there was Winona Rider, who still holds the record for approximately twice the shoplift value of Stella, but Rider wasn't running for public office.

And then, there's me. I can tell the truth about the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc I had consumed before entering the GIANT, and trying to exit with an extra $2 piece of cheese. Yet, I was advised not to mention anything related to my blood-alcohol level. 50 years ago. Three years before it happened, I would generally express horror at the thought of doing such a thing, when a college girlfriend suggested purloining a chunk of filet mignon.

That's the problem with purity. Anything can leave a stain. Accountants and lawyers get caught shoplifting.

But it all points to the idea that there's education, special education, and ignorance. You can be "specially educated" about special education, and still be an ignoramus.

Meth or no meth, Stella does sort of have a disheveled hot look. Do the eyes suggest a bipolar or manic disorder? I can't say with authority. Perhaps I'd make sure I had a Trojan in the pocket if I knew our paths would cross.

I wonder if she paints eyeballs on her fingernails? Women who are immersed in witchcraft do things like that. But the bottom line leaves me inclined against someone who really believes the QAnon palaver. It would be an obstacle to our likelihood of achieving Shangri-La through Hobble-de-Gee and Hobble-de-Gah.

And really. Women with an activist GOP orientation just cannot wick my Willie.

"Who, me? We're just letting the people vote for who they want to vote for!"

Same shit, every time. They pretend that they can safely ignore impossible districts where their actual base will loudly proclaim their morally objectionable ideologies, by declaring them "merely a minority" ...because of this one example. Except that these are actually republicans everywhere, and they vote, everywhere. When they vote the loudest, in their larger districts, the GOP just "euphemises" the abject racism and bigotry, and broken bullshit policy behind those well-established phantom boogeymen of the "welfare queen," the "murdering illegal," the "trickle down" and all of their other totally-not-racist-but-everyone-really-knows-this is-racist-as-fuck policy.

TLDR: Let the open bigots die where the GOP can handwave away their "minority status" in impossible districts, because you can just champion the same nonsense, under different terms, everywhere else. This bigot is mainstream in the GOP, but they don't want you to think it.

Warrant issued for Republican challenger Danielle Stella's arrest
Republican Danielle Stella’s campaign to take down Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has hit a bit of a snag. There is currently a warrant out for her arrest after she failed to appear for a court hearing on Tuesday morning.
She was supposed to answer to charges that she had attempted to shoplift a few thousand dollars’ worth of stuff from an Edina Target. According to court documents, she told police she couldn’t remember what had happened in the store due to her post-traumatic stress disorder.
“[She] says that normally she goes to Target with someone because of anxiety around people,” the complaint says.
Stella has promised in various interviews that she would get all of this sorted out in court and come out innocent on the other side. But the creators of a blog called Danielle Stella Exposed say they went to the courthouse to attend the hearing and waited hours for Stella to “show up,” with no luck.
“Even her lawyer and the psychiatrist didn’t show up,” the site’s latest post says. “So what the hell is going on?”
Stella started making headlines earlier this summer by hinting at support for the Q-anon conspiracy group, writing nonstop missives against Omar, crashing an event at Seward Café (and posting her subsequent ejection on Instagram), and managing to weird out even diehard conservative podcasters Chuck Woolery and Mark Young.
Neither she nor her lawyer were immediately available to comment. Prosecutor Lori Schwartz declined to speak on the matter. Meanwhile, Stella's Twitter feed has been active all day with the usual President Donald Trump retweets and posts about ANTIFA, Omar, and other Democratic reps.

“She’s been having these armies of pedophiles come attack me. And that is disgusting to me, and apparently you cannot speak out against pedophilia on Twitter because it’s not PC.”




-Woah, Daddy!

Its too bad the Republicans cant field a decent moderate candidate to give Omar some legitimate competition. I think there is also an independent running for the seat who may be a reasonable choice, if they havent dropped out.

Its too bad the Republicans cant field a decent moderate candidate to give Omar some legitimate competition.

That is because the Republicans have sprinted so far right that they are calling what used to be moderate Republicans socialists.

Moderate Republicans are functionally extinct. There's a reason that the most prominent republicans in Congress are 4chan conspiracy theory nutters. There's no one else left.

“[She] says that normally she goes to Target with someone because of anxiety around people,” the complaint says.

How is she supposed to represent people if she can't even be around them?

Or does this anxiety only strike when she's around certain types of people?

Felons like other felons.

Businessman Omar Navarro has leveraged his frequent campaigns against Waters to become a prominent voice on the far-right, earning more than $1 million in campaign contributions and the backing of Trumpworld figures like controversial former sheriff Joe Arpaio, former Trump adviser Roger Stone, and Ret. Gen. Michael Flynn.

Which is why the GOP has become so unified of late.
