So why did it take so long for King to get the boot?

I don't understand. Who's King?

I'm not imagining anything. I'm witnessing it. You're a fine example of this.

You don't care about people threatening to kill members of Congress.

You care that I'm dismissing Trump's shitposts.

Shhh… They need to live in their bubble where everyone who doesn't agree with them are angry Libcucks.

It's quite fascinating to watch them though, like a train wreck you can't look away from.

Lol I don't know where you found that meme, but it's just a meme, not an actual source.
Because he was being interviewed and they were asking about his building.

A "meme" that was on display at an event sponsored by West Virginia Republicans in the state Capitol's upper rotunda with apparently no objections from anyone present.

Sorry, sweetheart, but the topic of the thread isn't Steve King or Trump Tower or Republicans voting on benefits for 9/11 first responders.

The topic is very much Ilhan Omar. If you wanna talk about those other things then make a thread.

Now let's see if you're actually willing to learn and correct yourself.

I'm angry. But not at the conservatives. Obviously they will use anything to attack Omar. Her turn of phrase about 9/11 is catnip to them. I expect it, i understand it. What I am fuming about is all the fucking absolute coward liberals who have abandoned her, who have joined the conservatives in attacking her over nothing. absolutely worthless people.

Rep. Omar didn't talk about 9/11 in an apologetic tone as if she was accepting responsibility for personally crashing all 4 planes herself which makes it an unforgiveable outrage obviously.

Except it is, because you keep complaining about how terrible she is for "Disrespecting 9/11", all the while twiddling your thumbs and pretending Trump and the Republican Party aren't responsible for trying to gut support for the people who saved lives during 9/11.

Yes, how dare I not talk about Republicans doing something in a thread about a Democratic Congresswoman. :roll:

Yes. Since nearly the start of this thread you've been pretending that people are defending Omar's statements and trying to prevent criticism of her. But you don't seem willing to actually commit to actually caring if people do that, probably since that would really not line up with how you've claimed not to care about criminal death threats made against members of Congress.

You're just trying to pick fights and trigger someone.
