Ilhan Omar Guest Arrested for Standing at Trump's SOTU

In a statement Omar called for an investigation into the arrest. "My guest, Aliya Rahman, stood up silently in the gallery during the president's speech for a short period of time, part of which other guests were also standing. For that, she was forcibly removed, despite warning officers about her injured shoulders and ultimately charged with unlawful conduct'," she said.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

"Rahman told the Democracy Now broadcast on Wednesday that she had been standing silently before she was arrested.

"No buttons, no facial expressions, no gestures, no signs, not one sound," Rahman said.

"There are only two things you can do at the State of the Union, and they are, sit down and stand up. All kinds of people were standing up all night. Me too.

I stood up at the moment that I heard this man say some of the most racist things I have heard come out of any leader's mouth about the people of my city."

During Donald Trump's speech, Rahman "started demonstrating", which violated rules for the event, according to the Capitol police.

"The guest was told to sit down, but refused to obey our lawful orders," the police said in a statement. "It is illegal to disrupt the Congress and demonstrate in the congressional buildings."

So this is where the left parts ways with the Capital Police.... LMAO

Good-for-no-one Islamophobe Rudy Giuliani smeared House Democrat Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as "looking too Muslim."

Irrational Islamophobia continues against America's 3.5 million Muslim-Americans who make up a mere 1% to 1.1% of the entire US population of 333 million people.

By contrast, turban-wearing Sikhs make up 1.4% to 1.7% of the entire Canadian population (41,549,684 people) and they are not as persecuted or demonized as our fellow American Muslims, although some right wingers in Canada have harassed Sikhs.

A Turban-wearing Sikh served proudly as Minister of Defense for PM Justin Trudeau.

According to Yale Law DEI grad JD Vance, the regime's thugs have "absolute immunity."

He seems to be yearning for something along the lines of Hitlerian Germany's infamous 1933 Enabling Act (en.wikipedia.org), the "Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich."

JD "I want my wife to become Christian" Vance, Empty Suit Marco Rubio, Canadian-Cuban-Texan Ted Cruz, and incompetent Ron DeSatan seem to be the four GOP successors swirling around in the Republican Party toilet bowl to succeed Dummkopf Trumpf in 2028.

The Democrats need a Jimmy Carter-type of POTUS candidate in 2028 who, like the rest of us, is tired of war, ethnic cleansing, xenophobia, ICE, and economic injustice. Too bad Bernie Sanders missed his shot in 2016.

Enter James Talarico, perhaps... if he can get into the Senate this year.

But he's an underdog by at least 10 points to the incumbent Crocket in her District.

Trump Weighing Order To Seize Elections By Declaring Sham National Emergency: Report
President Donald Trump is reportedly considering declaring a national emergency due to supposed widespread foreign interference in the 2020 election, which he would then use as a pretense to seize voting power from the states.

There is no evidence of such widespread interference, and a seizing electoral power from the states would represent an unprecedented abuse of power.

A 17-page draft executive order authored by pro-Trump activists that was reviewed by The Washington Post would blame China for Trump's 2020 presidential election loss. It would reportedly allow the president to ban mail-in ballots and voting machines, which Trump has falsely blamed for being vectors of fraudulent votes.

Last month, a lawyer who represented Trump in his 2020 election-denial lawsuits from Fulton County, Georgia, where Trump had contested the results even though investigations turned up no fraud.

In a highly unusual departure from established legal norms, Trump's director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was on hand for the raid even though her role as DNI doesn't overlap with in-person domestic criminal investigative work.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who used to be Trump's personal attorney before he was elevated to the number two position at the Justice Department, conceded in an interview with CNN that he didn't know what Gabbard was doing, or why she was present during the search.

"I don't know why the director was there," .

"Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for and I'm sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country."

Dumbf*&^ dodges the questions.

Then acts like there wasn't two investigations into foreign interference in the election that both found significant foreign action to influence 2016 and 2020, one of which was a GOP senate committee report signed by our current SoS.

Oh, and still has the hutzpah to post this gem
