Ilhan Omar calls to dismantle entire US economic system. She makes $175k/year btw.

There Are No Libertarians in an Epidemic

Not an Epidemic anymore according to the cdc

 

[FLVOL_79]

She makes alot more than 175k . Perks and benefits. Nobody leaves congress poor.

$174k. If she serves 5 years she is eligible for a pension of 1% of her salary for each year she serves. Lets hope she only gets that 10K a year and she goes and buys all of Somalia where she can live free and not face oppression.

Unfortunately pension plans for Congress members are MUCH more lucrative than that

Nope. Its FERS. 1% of their top 3 salary for each year they serve. Same as everyone else in government who isnt in the legacy CSRS system.

My pension as a GS 14 (Ill be a 15 or higher when I retire) will be more than 90% of people who served in congress.

The big difference is they can use their position as a member of congress or former member for higher paying jobs afterwards, usually as lobbyists.

Words do not violate the Constitution. Actions violate the Constitution. She can say whatever she wants, but it's meaningless unless she attempts to put those words to action. Even then, there's lots of leeway. It's the job of the courts to interpret the Constitution, which is why the fact they have become a political body worries me. Justices and judges should be about the law, not politics.

Whoah whoah... did you not get the memo? Words are the biggest enemy to anyone these days. When historians look back at this time in American History it will be referred to as the “Feelings Age”.

 

[Sandman 423]

Putting on my Nostradamus hat, this is where you tell us how the Fed tossing bailout money all over the place is socialism, right?

Yeah, that's not socialism.

If you want to discuss issues in detail we can have at it at your pleasure. My academic record, military service and civilian service records might cause you to think otherwise.

I probably shouldn’t have said that. I was wrong

The Era of Delicate Feelings, and we already have the Era of Good Feelings
I like it.

The modern democratic party leaders.....smh...

Great!! That means she's out of a job!!

 

[C-south]

She's not a leader. The only people who say that are conservatives. She's stupid and so are you for giving her relevance

The only people that give her relevance are the ones that were dumped in the same refugee camp in MN she was.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Then there is @lawgator1 's candidates that are supposedly great for Americans.....or something...

I'm laughing, she'd be a foot sweep away from reality.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

You can't deport a US citizen for exercising her freedom of speech. We aren't a dictatorship (yet).

No, no, no ...deport her back to her home town since she's dismantling to government she can find a job there.

 

[NCFisher]

Don't flare your nostrils and extend your eyeballs at me, Missy.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Are her comments not a violation of her oath of office? She swore to uphold and protect the Constitution.

She's very much walking that line.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Don't flare your nostrils and extend your eyeballs at me, Missy.

Her facial expressions are memeable

Let's start with cutting her salary to $24K, then deporting her.

There! freedom from our systemic "economic and political oppression".

That is the modern Republican party in a nutshell. We will drape ourselves in the constitution to support racism, sexism and all types bigotry, but the moment someone has the temerity to say something that offends us... DEPORT 'EM!

Not me , I say keep her and let her ignorance shine under that liberal lamp post . That’s goes for the other ignorant ones you guys have been collecting under that tent .

Upvoted but there's really nothing liberal about them; they should be called leftists. Sorry, pet peeve of mine, not allowing them to define themselves by a diametrically opposing term.

I agree they are the extreme but every extremist wanting to destroy our system and country right now votes liberal . Funny how that’s working out . Not long ago we were being called crazy for saying they were socialist.

That assumes Democrats are a liberal party. I disagree. Let's call them what they are. Leftists, Marxist, etc. but they ain't 'liberal'.
