It’s the reason some threads get to the greatest page, or get more viewers. DUers sometimes just write ‘kick’ or K&R or enter a period to get the thread back to the top.

When you recommend it that also helps keep it at he top, plus it shows people that it’s worth reading.

“Think about it: Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Quran, 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested,” Pirro said on her show last week. “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

Pirro is on shaky ground indeed if she thinks Omar's wearing a hijab indicates an adherence to Sharia Law. For that matter, a hijab is puny compared to the headwear worn by Bella Abzug, and that was decades ago (and like Bella used to say, "it's what's under the hat that counts!&quot . If anyone thinks what Omar or AOC is saying in unprecedented, they should look up some of Bella Abzug's quotes.

“Women will run the 21st Century…. This is going to be the women’s century and young people are going to be its leaders.” That was over 20 years ago!

And of course, her famous campaign line that got he elected into the House: “This woman’s place is in the House – the House of Representatives.”

There are some trails being blazed today, for sure, but there are some that are treading in the footsteps of some rather memorable trailblazers that have already gone before us.

As for Pirro herself, will she come clean on the clothes she is wearing? After all, Leviticus 19:19 says, "You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material." And if she did, too, wear a garment of cloth made from two kinds of material? Will she enter a convent and repent for the rest of her days? Or does she think that irrelevant admonitions from religious texts only merit negative scrutiny when they come from the religious texts of others?

when it comes to women's hair. It is supposed to be covered in public. Many Jewish women used to wear wigs so their real hair would not be seen. Don't know if that is still a thing.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

So, Judge shouldn't be in air quotes.

She is loathsome in every single way, but she is not misrepresenting her judgeship.

and would never insist that others do so. The sole exception is a Republican who was appointed to fill a temporary vacancy and still, years after his few months on the bench, gets his panties in a twist if he is not referred to as JUDGE Anal Sphincter.

I didn’t recognize her in that picture! She looks like she’s had a lot of facial stretches done. Or maybe it’s just Botox. And the tan! Is it a Republican thing now?

Jeanine has attributes that Cindy could use in her business.

Jeanine has some fascinating lips.

Almost hypnotic.

The kind of lips Newt Gingrich would love.

no ad dollars - no vile puke show.

And when advertisers start pulling all ads, it really scares them to action.

You can't broadcast on thoughts and prayers after all.

27. Aussie invasion

Mar 2019

It strikes me that while these right wing radicalized white nationalist nazi assholes like to call other people invaders, it was in fact rupert murdoch who invaded the USA like that murdering asshole whose name I won't mention again invaded New Zealand.

They do it just to cause harm and death. They are pure evil. ronald reagan's administration worked actively to allow murdoch to flout all the rules on print, radio and tv ownership in the same markets as well as killing The Fairness Doctrine which allowed scumbag operations like fox "news" to spread their lies unfettered by response from THE TRUTH.

It's just so funny to me that the right wing radicals always accuse others of doing what they are actually doing.

She's the typical right winger who wants to throw the book at anybody who enters her courtroom. She used to be the DA in Westchester. She wrote a couple books:

To Punish and Protect: A DA's Fight Against a System That Coddles Criminals. (2003)

In 2004, To Punish and Protect: Against a System That Coddles Criminals came out.
