It's not shocking, they've labeled me alt right lol.

And if they truly believe that...imagine how insane their scale is for who is deemed alt right?

Damn, props. You played the race card, the gender card, and the religion card all in one post.

My criticism is purely based on the way she asked her questions. It other people do it too it's not an excuse, show me others and I'll condemn it. But she has been in the news so that is why some stories focus on her.

The next guy in the same video is equally antagonistic in his questioning.

In fact I'd say she's quite reserved in her questioning style compared to many others I've seen.

If that's considered reserved behavior then we're in trouble.

Literally the next guy...

So why are you only attacking her?

No. You'd be in trouble if your elected officials meekly submitted to everyone who they had to question in hearings.

We're in trouble if peoples brains can't process that there is a difference between meek submission and "do you approve of this massacre?" type shenanigans.

Speaking of trouble:

'Captain America' Chris Evans Gets SLAMMED For Daring To Meet With Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw

For those who don't wanna read: Evans did not endorse Crenshaw. All he did was behave civil while meeting the guy. The guy has a glass eye(lost his eye serving this country) and he put in a special Captain America eye cuz he knew Evans would be there. Evans only responded to Crenshaws tweet of "When Captain America see's your glass eye" with a photo of the meeting.

Chris Evans responds with "very cool use of vibranium".

That is it lol. It's all he did. This isn't just about Crenshaw, it's TDS once again.

Wut? That's not what either of us are saying.

Well explain why you're even mentioning meek submission. I never mentioned that at all. Nor did I even imply I wanted that. So...

My point is, this clip isn't any better merely cuz others pull this shit too. It just means the problem goes beyond just Omar.

EDIT: And it shouldn't need to be explained why this congresswoman who has had controversy and been all over the news is focused on. It's shockingly not racism or sexism or any of that. Weird I know.

1. How would you rather your representatives go about asking difficult questions on difficult topics?

2. Michael Cohen was taking a brutal hammering from republican representatives in a much more aggressive manner than Omar does in this video just last week and was far more widely broadcast yet you didn't seem concerned about their manner of questioning then.

3. I never said anything about racism or sexism or "any of that".

None of it's right, but the guys statement made no mention of approving the massacre. It was obvious what he was saying, so I don't see what it achieved other than to piss off the person being questioned.

These Mothers Teamed Up To Create A Porn Film They Want Their Children To Watch

"To make matters even stranger, the porn flick will be aired on the show’s last episode as a "viewing party" in front of the women’s families. Yes, this includes their teenage children."

Lol

So your claim is that anything even 1% less than her behavior would be considered "meekly submitting"?

She should have maintained eye contact and asked him short blunt questions.

State Incident. How did this happen under your watch. / or How did this happen under our protection

If that's what I was claiming then that's what I would have said. Is that what I said?

You went straight to meek submission in response to Surtur complaining about her behavior. So you either think those are the only two choices or you were strawmanning his argument. If I missed an option feel free to let me know.

Irony overload.

So which is it, were you strawmanning or did you genuinely believe those were the only two options?

Neither, obviously. You'd know that if you weren't the one strawmanning.
