Trawling For Tropes

Ilhan Omar, the most famous woman of Somali descent whose name isn't Iman Abdulmajid, was booted off the House Foreign Affairs Committee for saying that Americans suck up to the Israelis and disregard their inhumane policies toward the Palestinians because it's all about money.  That's showing her!  Kevin McCarthy is absolutely right to advocate for punishing House members who spew out anti-Semitic tropes.

Now when is he going to punish Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Watch out for those Jewish space lasers, Marge!

Omar has charged Republicans for singling her out because she is an immigrant, a woman and a Muslim.  Republicans dislike her for all of those things, but I think the real reason they're punishing her is for wearing a terrapin on her head.  Agreed - we can't have that in the House of Representatives.

Hold it just a minute, I've been corrected.  Omar wears a turban on her head - not a terrapin.  Oh, well, that's all right.  Jut as long was she doesn't have a terrapin on her head.  As far as I am concerned, any House member who wears a terrapin on his head should be expelled from the House completely.

Guess that makes Steve Scalise House Speaker.

Wait!  What's that chocolate syrup on his head?  There ought to be a law against members of Congress serving with chocolate syrup on their heads!  Anyone with chocolate syrup on their heads should be removed from Congress immediately!  It should be a capital crime!  Off with his head!  Off with his chocolate syrup!

Seriously, Omar was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee because of statements critical of her own government and its transgressions against weaker countries in the developing world, and she has vowed to speak out more loudly and forcefully.  Good for her.  Unfortunately, Republicans were already anticipating that. 

I think someone saw Lauren Boebert buying a pair of these at the Pennsylvania Avenue CVS.  There ought to be a run on this product there soon.

Oh yeah, I didn't want to bring it up, but McCarthy once accused  George Soros, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg of trying to buy the 2018 midterm elections.  Now, what do these fellows have in common - aside from being billionaires? 

Maybe, as punishment, we should dip Kevin McCarthy in chocolate syrup.
