You Bring Threats Upon Yourself, Sweetheart

With your own words. It has nothing to do with Trump.

Rep. Ilhan Omar Says Death Threats Have Increased Since Trump's Attack | HuffPost

 

[Moonglow]

Same with the death threats against Trump is due to his own actions?

 

[Mac1958]

There's no excuse for death threats. They are made by cowards in an impotent rage.

 

[Moonglow]

One of the rules of being in management or as a leader is do not publicly shame your associates take it into a private room and discuss the problems, Trump's idea of management and leadership is one of public shaming and belittlement, a most crude form of management.

99.% of people who actually murder someone never issue a 'death threat' first.
THOSE are the nut cases to worry about.

There's no excuse for either. I assumed we all agree that murder is bad.

Well. . . .

That is the problem, isn't it? She is becoming a liability to her own party.


Democrats Are Falling Into the Ilhan Omar Trap
By rushing to stand with the controversial congresswoman, the 2020 contenders are allowing Trump to transform her into the face of their party.
Democrats Are Falling Into the Ilhan Omar Trap

". . . Having promised not to “let him drive us apart” from Omar, Democrats are now stuck with responsibility for the reckless things the representative from Minnesota says, not only about Jews, but about other issues, too. Omar has already served notice that she does not intend to behave more circumspectly in the future. In a Friday-night interview, Stephen Colbert asked Omar whether she would heed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s advice to back-bench it for a while. Omar answered, “I think Nancy knows this very well. Women have been told to go slow and not be seen and not be heard for many years. She wouldn’t have made it to where she is if she did. And it’s certainly the case for minority women … We are not there to be quiet. We are not there to be invisible. We are there to follow the lead of people like Congressman John Lewis and make good trouble.”


The Democrats are on notice. More remarks will be coming.

Against Omar’s propensity to provoke, the Democratic Party seems institutionally almost defenseless. Pelosi was thwarted when she attempted to pass a resolution condemning anti-Semitic expressions by House members. Instead, the House substituted more muddled language in which Jews appeared in a laundry list condemning all expressions of intolerance against “African-Americans, Native Americans, and other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, immigrants and others.”

After Trump’s tweeted attack, Omar will become even more internally uncriticizable and unmanageable, without becoming any more careful or responsible. Indeed, the speech by Omar that provided Trump with the sound bite he exploited—“some people did something”—itself exemplifies her carelessness and irresponsibility. The speech was delivered at a fundraiser in California for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Here’s the full sentence from which Trump took his sound bite: “CAIR was founded after 9/11, because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”

CAIR was, in fact, founded seven years before 9/11. That error should matter to more than fact-checkers. It severs CAIR from its own history of radical advocacy and apologetics.

Omar’s co-headliner at the California fundraising event was a lawyer named Hassan Shibly. Shibly is the lawyer for Hoda Muthana, a New Jersey–born woman who married an Islamic State fighter, proclaimed her adherence to ISIS in writing, and now seeks to return to the United States. Muthana’s case turns on technicalities of the citizenship laws, and she is entitled to legal representation. Shibly has stressed his own condemnation of ISIS and Muthana’s choice to join it. Yet Shibly has also spoken in extreme ways against Jews in Israel and the United States. He tweeted back in August 2014: “God as my wittiness, Israel & it’s supporters are enemies of God and humanity! How many more children must Israel kill 4 U 2 C?#Gaza.”. . . "

That justifies removing someone from their rightfully elected seat in Congress?

No. Only if the voters don't want them there.

How much longer do you think the national donors will continue to support her antics?

So does Donald with the Russians.

She is NOT upholding the Constitution.

Like.....? Never mind. I just realized you're just talking to make yourself feel good.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

No.

Then stay on topic...why does she need to be removed from office?

good question.

looks like they can go through "expulsion" but that's rare. most who have had this done to them i believe were back in the civil war era for supporting the south.

so - support of the "enemy" is a precedent if you go back far enough.

however it's not easy to get that done and requires a lot of votes all around.most would vote to keep her i would imagine just to torque off the right, or those pushing for it. seems to be our MO these days.

censoring is more likely where they just make her shut up. but these days? i can hear her crying FOUL now.

 

[iceberg]

No.

most likely cause those are todays demands when you hate the other side. someone supports a conservative - they must lose their job. don't like what a liberal says, they must be fired.

both sides say the other did it first/last/at one time in history - so we go around and around in a juvenile debate about it and make the argument the issue and not the issue anymore.

pretty strange country we're building these days.

as long as they can get something out of it that is > than $ invested.

Yes, but then the threats against Trump are from the Omar side of the street. Thus is the conflict defined.
