"Creepy"

[Ocelot II]

1. Ilhan Omar is my rep. In her first term she was a bit politically clumsy and I had some doubts,

but now she's found her footing and has been showing great courage standing up to MAGA. Brava for her. She deserves the support of all Democrats.

And, by the way, the Somali community in my city contributes positively in many ways, and they are no more "criminal" than any other group. There is something of a local scandal arising from the fraudulent use of government covid-relief funds intended for a children's charity, and many of the participants in the fraud were Somali (though the mastermind was a White woman). But you don't condemn an entire group (about 80,000 people) for the bad acts of a couple dozen. And it's pretty damn ballsy for Trump to complain about this scam considering that his own family foundation was fined and banned from doing business in NY for disbursing money to the family and the campaign that was supposed to be paid to charities. And the claim that Somali criminal gangs are terrorizing Minneapolis is a bald-faced lie. I see Somali people every day, doing regular things, going about their business, taking their kids to school. Trump's racist remarks were outrageous. But what else is new?
