Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

Pelosi's defense of Omar is even funnier than Schakowsky's.

Pelosi: "I don't think our colleague is anti-semitic. I think she has a different experience in the use of words, doesn't understand that some of them are fraught with meaning that she didn't realize."

Just like an old white liberal, treating a black person like they are a child.

"I don't think our colleague is anti-semitic, she just came from a culture that is anti-semitic."

There's a difference, you know.

They keep saying her statements are unintentionally anti-Semitic or she doesn't mean to say what she is saying. Seems to me she is just so anti-semitic she can't control it.

That's what it is but they can't come out and say one of the first Muslims elected to Congress is an anti-semite, not as long as they are a Democrat anyways.

Just a couple of months ago Democrats proposed a bill that specifically named Steve King in saying the House is against all forms of racism. When it came time to call out anti-semitism because Ilhan Omar kept making anti-semitic comments the Democrats strangely forgot to mention Ilhan Omar by name. I'm sure that was just an oversight though.

"I don't think he's a rapist, he just came from a rape culture where being charged with rape requires at least 4 male witnesses who aren't related to the victim to testify."

And her collegues will continue to downplay her obvious anti-semitic rants... and the Jewish people of this country will continue to vote these people into office...

I'm thinking this is all just one big massive troll now.

It's like you guys don't keep up with weird Amazon kindle romances.

This is correct. Sad, stupid and filled with self loathing yet still correct.
