Saw your own head off, fucking war criminal, fucking settler-colonial figurehead, fucking white supremacist pick-me, fucking capitalist scum. You and your lackeys created the world in which Trump won, twice.

    In a lengthy social media post, Obama said the administration's attack on Omar (D-Minn.) violates "a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say."

    Does the Trump administration care about American democracy?

    Apparently he was aware of allegations against her but failed to investigate, and Trump used that as justification of a cover up ?

    Apparently you are either gullible or just spreading bullshit.

    “To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts,” Obama wrote. “Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen AUTOMATICALLY.”

    Finally a Democrat speaks up. Took the long enough. Maybe a "news" channel will, too, now.

    I always appreciate when that motherfucker deigns to leave his ivory tower to lend his considerable political celebrity to something positive.

    For once.

    Obama would have used an extrajudicial drone strike on her the instant she stepped out of the US, that's the proper way to do things.

    Harrumph, no decorum these days.

    Huh but what about all that decorum we saved by not prosecuting our war criminals, purging the government of their lackeys, allowing Mitch McConnell to steal a supreme court seat, and of course presenting not the smallest obstacle to Trump's nomination, campaign, or incumbency?

    Surely that valuable valuable decorum is still kicking around somewhere since we gave up so much for it?

    If Obama had imprisoned Trump for the birther lies we wouldn't be here now
