i saw this....she also raised her arm and waved to the crowd then put it back behind her back.
Most of the photo ops just show her with her hands behind her back...so mission accomplished for her.

Imagine thinking she wasn't just performing some political theater.

Well, they're both minorities so I'd call the "handcuff me" position to be suitably compliant for them in that situation...well, minus the waving.

Damn. They are willing to pretend to go to jail for their principles. Commendable.

Meanwhile, on the right wing, you've got people pleading the fifth and turning witness to avoid getting arrested. But they're not exactly known for having principles. Or morals. Or fully functioning brains in some cases.

Damn, Hillary did some hard time then if she didn't do what you accuse the right of doing.

What's the over-under on how many people on this board defend this?
Side note, my only exposure to Omar came via my sister in law posting a meme showing the twin towers being attacked that said something like "I can't believe we are letting the people who did this into our government" and getting a bi-partisan beat-down for it.
That and Boebert or MTG calling these two the Jihad Squad. Seems excessive, but meh...I can't get offended since I've never been killed by a terrorist.

Or - and this is just me spitballing here - all of Hilary's crimes were kabuki theater put on by the GoP to appease their dumb voter base and if they actually had anything on her or Billy Boy, they'd be locked so deep in some black site prison that the country would've collectively forgotten them by now or they'd of gotten suicided like their boy Epistein.
And this is coming from a guy who ***** hates Hilary and wants to never see or hear from her again.

Can you present a time when Hillary Clinton invoked the 5th Amendment or refused to appear?

Dude, bro, my man, can you just laugh at something stupid and not get all worked up about the other side?

I guess that depends on what people think a political job is. These days it could be argued that misrepresenting events and manufacturing outrage are key duties of their jobs.

We really have reached a point were theatrics and social media are more important to your electability than intelligence, knowledge or ability. Note, I don't just include "the squad" (dumbest nickname in history btw), MTG, Boebert and their ilk are just as inane. If our representatives are indicative of our constituents we are in serious trouble.

Social media is probably the thing that ultimately destroys society. It creates so much toxicity, it's crazy.

I don't think this is a hyperbolic statement, sadly. It rewards idiocy and encourages attention whoring. My social media presence is extremely minimal, I literally don't care if people know what I'm doing or what you're doing. Mix politics into this and you've certainly got a toxic brew.

Correct. Those two nut bags are the same exact thing, but red.

That's the problem; they are.
