Ilhan Omar's Opponent Wants Her Hung

The sad thing is that Danielle Stella's behavior is typical of elected Republicans.

as much as I like to tar Republicans, I'm not sure this is accurate. Stella is exceptionally unhinged, even for right wing cranks. It seems pretty clear that she has some significant mental illness.

She hasn't even secured the primary yet. She makes headlines because of her wild behavior, but there really isn't any evidence that she is even viable to secure the nomination.
 
There's a growing "nutbag" wing of the party, with a handful of open Q-anon candidates, but this is still very much the fringe. The fringe I'm more worried about is the nationalist and proto-fascist wings, which are having much more success infiltrating and taking over the party.
 
How is it the fringe when you have the Very Stupid President pushing their conspiracies? When Gym Jordan, Elise Stafanik ,and Devin Moooones are pushing these theories during Congressional hearings?

When Senators McConnell, Graham, and Kennedy go on the Sunday talk shows and discuss them?

The violent lunatic fringe is running the GOP. Everyone really needs to come to terms with that fact.

Rather than acknowledging that Stella obviously has mental problems and that her fantasies of Omar's 'treason' are a result of those problems, you imply there is some basis to them. Unless she's "actually proven guilty of treason"?

Do you think using "so to speak" absolves you from not so subtly promoting this conspiracy theory?

LOL. I guess I just don't take this as seriously as you do. I know nothing more about Stella's alleged mental problems than I do about Omar's alleged treason - that is, I know nothing at all about these things. And I don't much care.

What I was actually saying was this:

"It's premature to talk about sentencing if you haven't even proved a crime."

And this:

"I think Ms Omar would make an attractive dickgirl."

Go peddle your outrage and your conspiracy theories somewhere else.

Actually, the only one coming close to peddling conspiracy theories would be you, not her.

I disagree. She's accusing me of some kind of partisan rhetorical trick.

Since I'm not actually peddling any kind of theory about Omar (other than the attractive dickgirl thing, which isn't a conspiracy as far as I know), she's closer than I am, at this point.

Not that it matters.

Ah, but Stacyhs isn't peddling any sort of conspiracy theory at all: Indeed, she's condemning others who are peddling conspiracy theories. You, on the other hand, are merely waving your hands and saying, "I don't know" about the conspiracy theory.....It doesn't even deserve the agnosticism level you are gifting it with.

LOL. Okay, sure. What now?

Oh, and if you dislike being accused of partisan rhetorical tricks, my sincere advice would be for you to stop employing partisan rhetorical tricks.

That should help, honestly.


You're Welcome!
 
I think the difference between the average republican politician and Stella is that she seems to honestly believe this crazy stuff as opposed to just cynically advancing conspiracy theories for political advantage.

She's got the crazy real bad. The Republican CT grifters are much more reprehensible, because they know what they say is bogus and they still do it.
