"Speaking in a dimly lit room, Tlaib told a cheering crowd that she had told one of her young sons: 'We're going to impeach the motherf***er!'"

This is Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, widely celebrated as the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress.




At what age would you say "motherf***er" to your kids (and flaunt it)?

Temujin said...

There isn't a doubt in my mind that this new batch of Dems, along with their cheerleaders in the mainstream media, will so turn off the American voting public, that this will be a short 2-year run for Dems. This House is going to be an out of control 5th grade classroom.

Martin said...

Pelosi and Schumer have a BIG problem: the lunatics are no longer merely a part of their party, but are becoming its face and voice and ideological leaders.

This may be a bigger threat to the Democrats than to Trump or the GOP, in the long run.

The Democrats shouldn't try to remove Trump until they can decide who they want instead. I can wait.

How can such stupid statements not trigger an adverse reaction? I don't suppose any of her fellow Democrats will criticize her for it. This is why I'm cynical and wary about diversity. I wouldn't want to be a minority in a country where people like this are the majority. Look at the way the Palestinians treat the Christian Palestinians in their midst. They're far more apt to apply power to truth than the reverse.

I warned Althouse’s readership about Rashida Tlaib numerous times. Like here

https://althouse.blogspot.com/2012/08/i-heard-thump-and-then-someone-moaning.html?showComment=1344194614544&m=1#c7334058650869673015

She’s essentially the successor to long-time punchline John Conyers in the Detroit 13th. Her constituents will love her for this sort of trash talk.

She’s a far-left, anti-Israel, Pro-Palestinian harridan. A harpy. A shrew. I reminded all of you that in 2016, when she had been term-limited out of the Michigan legislature, she appeared uninvited at a meeting of the Economic Club of Detroit and was arrested while attempting to shout down candidate Donald Trump and stop his speech.

Now; get used to her. I don’t see anyone dislodging her from her majority-minority district for many election cycles to come. Even when Michigan (likely) loses one Congressional seat after the 2020 census, her district will be drawn in a way protected by the VRA, and she’ll be in a position of safe re-election.

rcocean said...

She's probably been talking this way in front of her children since they were two.

As a result, they probably pepper their speech with Motherfucker, Goddamn and Cunt - except when its a Religious ceremony - and then they tone it down and just say Shit and asshole.

rcocean said...

Thanks for the warning Chuck. I'm not sure what good it did, but glad you're on patrol.

rcocean said...

Hating the USA I can understand, but her hating Israel?

Wow, that's unacceptable.

You might be right.

Of course, “Trump” is how you get More Pelosi. We’ve now seen that.

Rashida Tlaib’s district always was and always will be a lost cause. The Trump problem is not that Rasida Tlaibs exist in Congress. The problem is that in the second year of Trump, we lost 2 winnable Republican House seats in the Detroit suburbs.

It should be noted that this insane leftist shares precisely the same strategic goals as LLR Chuck.

Those 2 items alone guarantee perpetual full blown leftist control of our nation in perpetuity.

Which, coincidently, is also precisely what lefty publications and leaders from MoveOn, Media Matters and the Weekly Standard are calling for.

Drago said...

Rashida Tlaib republican Chuck: "Of course, “Trump” is how you get More Pelosi. We’ve now seen that"

Another in a long line of hilariously transparent lefty lies.

Massive republican retirements at the most senior levels of the House combined with the complete exposure of the GOP estsblishment alignment with the dems and the complete abandonment of the republican base by these LLR's in terms of immigration, trade and healthcare in particular, sealed the deal.

Ryan leaves congress with a 12% approval rate...and for good reason.

Romneys little missive the other day completely ignored and did not even attempt to address immigration (republican base voter chief concern) nor trade (democrat/Trump voters chief concern).

In other words, another in an endless line of gifts to the dems/left by the LLR's.

Unexpectedly.

House elections are local, and the "American voting public" in the districts that elect people like Tlaib comprises voters who want people like Tlaib in Congress. I predict they'll be delighted with her performance and return her, or people like her, to Congress perpetually. If they were the least bit dismayed by a Congress that resembles "an out of control 5th grade classroom", they would not have sent Tlaib there.

There is no wise, sane "American voting public" that exists apart from, and has veto power over, people who vote for people like Tlaib. There are only patches of sane voters who hopefully constitute a large enough percentage of a local population to elect enough sane people to Congress to counteract them. If current demographic trends continue, there will over time be more and more Tlaibs in Congress, and fewer and fewer people who will even be bothered to play-act at being members of the highest legislative body of a rule-of-law First World republic.

Sorry.

Chuck said...

No; Drago you’ve got me wrong. And since I have been clear, the fault rests entirely with you. All readers should presume that your falsehoods about me are deliberate on your part.

Rashida Tlaib wants Democrats in charge of both houses of Congress, and she wants a President like Kamala Harris.

I want Republicans in charge, and I want a President like Mitt Romney.

Precisely.

And, once again, that jocular tone has returned to your blog postings...right after a dem/far left House victory.

Very very similar to your pre-Nov 2016 postings...when you thought Hillary was a lock.....followed by 2 very very angry years of your postings when republicans unexpectedly won across the board.

Hmmmmmm

An absolutely perfect correlation between democrat/lefty success and your happiness quotient.

Why, its almost as if you were merely posing as a conservative in order to attack republicans, defend democrats, smear Trump and help get him impeached.
..

But that cant be, can it?

After all, you are as completely invested in conservative policy success as your hero, Bill Kristol.....who took money from Soros and Omidyar and collaborated directly with FusionGPS and called for democrat victories at every level.

Well.

You are certainly as "conservative" and "lifelong republican-y" as that.

Like Mitt Romney alluded to in his pro-dem/left letter, LLR Chuck claims to "promote" conservative positions.

As Roger Simon pointed out, thats the scam.

The LLR's only "promote" conservative positions in order to fool the base and actually align with the dems.

Perfectly characterized by the perfect alignment of strategic intent between a LLR Chuck and loony dem rep Tlaib.

As Simon noted, this "promotion" always leads to LLR Failure Theatre and dem wins.

Trumps "crime" is that he has exposed these secret-dem ally hacks like LLR Chuck.

The good news, despite the House loss, is that the jig is up for Chuck and his pals. No more 5th column FalseFront Potempkin Conservative posturing.

There is a concept of "Punching Down," which means you don't criticize anyone who is not a white male, or sympathetic to white males. It's a concept to which the Left is religiously devoted and one largely embraced by the news media.

That is why these outbursts, which are stunning to mainstream Americans and are likely to increase under an increasingly leftist Democratic Party, will not get traction in most media outlets.

It's not the result of simple passive bias, it's the result of a guiding principle.

This was my gift to my new member class.

"To sin by silence, when we should protest, makes cowards out of men." - from Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem Protest.

I am making sure we know our power in Congress to hold corrupt elected officials accountable.

9:25 PM - Nov 27, 2018

The book, released in August, details the constitutional argument for impeachment. According to the website for the book, Trump should be impeached for taking the following actions:

Accepting illegal payments from foreign governments
Using government agencies to persecute political enemies
Obstructing justice
Abusing the pardon power
Undermining of the freedom of the press

So there's the static, unthinking, astonishingly defeatest "conservative" vision Chuck offers: vote in "dem lite" (which alway results in "dem heavy" policy wins) or sit back and just let the dems take complete control.....which is precisely the same result as the LLR Chuck "dem lite" outcome....

If that were even remotely axiomatically true, Trump would not be in the White House.

QED

What Chuck seeks is an acceptance of permanent democrat/lefty ascendance....because of course he does....which is precisely what a 5th column dem/lefty interloper posing as a conservative would do......

....but not in this case. LOL. Oh no. Not in this case.....

Drago said...

Its very very important to LLR Chuck that we simply accept the dem/left narratives and permanent deference to the dems.

Hmmmmmm

Now why, do you suppose, he would want that?....

To ask the question is to answer the question.

The only remaining uncertainty is whether or not LLR Chucks beloved Kasich (pro-obamacare, pro-open borders, pro-EU/China trade deal dominence, pro-endless wars at the direction of the EU, etc) will simply offer up a Kasich-Luz Warren National Unity Ticket......with Warren at the top of the ticket?

What would happen if instead of widely celebrating these media-manufactured "firsts", we asked what took this self-manufactured group so long? If getting elected to Congress is important enough to widely celebrate, just what have Palestinian-American women been doing that kept them from achieving what non-Palestinian women achieved long ago?

The alternative is that every new member of Congress becomes a "first" in some way. First left-handed Aries from an odd-numbered district. First lesbian with IBD from north of the Mason-Dixon Line. First person with a 3.24 gpa from an SEC school who professionally played the harmonica.

They can only be the 'loyal opposition'. To hell with that, Give me a double dose of un-Presidental Trump, please. Or should I say TWO SCOOPS!

If the country club Republican like you that wasted two years whining about President Trumps latest tweet instead of getting behind the Presidents agenda, Republicans would have gained seats in the House. You whined all that away, because shutup.

LLR Chuck's Country Club republicans opposed Reagan, were severely uncomfortable with W's Christian faith, did not like the Tea Party and applauded the dems targeting the Tea Party members, laughed when obama targeted journalists and their families, defend the Europeans when they dont meet their defense requirements, collude with the dems to hollow out our middle class, and on and on it goes.

"Country Club republican" thinking leads to W handing the Education bill to Ted frickin Kennedy to write, nominates a David Souter and a Harriet Miers, raises taxes after promising never to do so, etc.

"Country Club republicanism" = permanent defeat of conservatism.

Which is why LLR Chuck worships at its altar and attacks any conservative that dares challenges the dems.

He may have spoken with passion and hated Jews, but I doubt that Hitler used Mutter Ficker during addresses to crowds. He likely thought that too coarse for public speeches.

Of course, Hitlers's supporters were far less uncouth than today's Democrat Party members. There is that to consider, after all: venue is important. Hitler was addressing Nazi Party rallies. Perhaps we can excuse Tlaib's use of "motherfucking" because she was addressing a sympathetic crowd of Democrat Party members.

If someone says they want to kill you- you should believe them.

If someone says they want to destroy you- you should believe them.

If someone says your beliefs are wrongthink and should be suppressed and you should be reeducated- you should believe them.

If someone says you're evil because of your skin color you should realize they really believe that- or they wouldn't be saying it out loud.

If Jews and Christians ever wake up from their stupor and look at what Democrat politicians are saying, Democrats will never again control the house, senate, or be elected President. And if they succeed in getting people of pallor to view themselves as Whites rather than American, their hold on power is gone.

Boy! Chuck, fopdoodle extraordinaire, has really gotten bitchy about conservatives wandering off the Republican reservation. It is almost like he needs conservatives to kowtow to GOPe, Inc. as part of his (make believe, online only) persona or else!

Yeah, Trump has shown that LLRs are paper tiger pissants who really just want to lose honorably. And then he just went about the business of America, which is business.

312,000 jobs added and the long-term unemployed returning to the workforce. Amazing that doing conservative things (legislatively when Paul Ryan wasn't being a useless Pelosi chew toy) improves the position of normal Americans. But, we are told by the likes of Chuck, disgusting and useless fopdoodle, that Trump and the GOP will be routed because country club Republican shitstains will pound their tiny fists on their high chair trays if we don't go back to pretending LLRs have normals' best interests in mind.

Nope. Sell crazy elsewhere.

I don't really give a shit what this new congresswoman has to say. She can go piss up a rope for all I care. I mean, who the fuck does this cunt think she is anyway. And if some cocksucker like Chuck or some motherfucker like Craig wants to defend her then -

Tits.

What are they going to impeach him for?

Honest question because I don't know. What has he done that rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors? I dont think you can say Russia collusion when the investigation isn't done yet, can you?

holdfast said...

Too bad Mittens didn’t want to actually fight to be President. Trump OWNS country clubs, but he’s smart enough to know that politics isn’t a country club.

Accepting illegal payments from foreign governments
Got some examples? Is this like when Obama's campaign turned of zip code verification on credit card donations? Or is this like "donations" to a shady foundation?

Using government agencies to persecute political enemies
Again, got some examples?

Obstructing justice
I suppose this is in regards to firing Comey, but this hasn't stopped the Mueller investigation.

Abusing the pardon power
Whom has he pardoned?

Undermining of the freedom of the press
By criticizing them? He hasn't thrown any reporters in prison, unlike his predecessor.

You dont have a case. In fact, what you have is precisely the opposite of what you think you have.

Trump businesses are simply playing by the rules you LLR's created with your dem allies. As any business must.

But Trump, as an elected figure, is openly fighting for rule changes which would overturn the current rules...and he is being fought tooth and nail by the dems and the....(wait for it)....LLR's!!!

Since Palestine never existed, there's no such thing as a Palestinian-American. Muslim-American or Arab-American would make more sense, except the left is anti-semitic, so they promote the "Palestinian" aspect.

chickelit said...

The flip side of Chuck Republicans leaving Trump is going to be conservative Dems like Jim Webb leaning Trump. So, to answer your, question, the source has hardly gone dry. Events like this won't change minds in Tlaib's district, but it will in others.

well, lets take a look see... oh here's one!
Keep on losing country club Republicans and in the next House election the Democrats will add 30 more seats to the 40 that they won last year.

so, The Only way for the Republicans to keep their minority in the House, is to make sure that a LARGE (30 seats!!!) contingent of republicans are the sort (like LLRs) that will cave in to Dems, WHENEVER the DEMS want).

Country Club Republicans can go fuck themselves. They got their way in California, and where are they now? Mostly Democrats or "retired from politics".

They always want to rule or destroy.

Just being part of an alliance isn't good enough. Unless they are in charge and then they give NOTHING to their allies.



rcocean said...

When they were allied to social conservatives in Bush years, all they did was bitch/moan 24/7 about those 'agents of intolerance'.

When Palin got nominated as VP, they kept attacking her for 10 years.

Now its Trump because they LOVE that cheap foreign labor. Who's going to mow their lawn or be their nanny if we stop illegal immigration. OMG, they might have to pay SS taxes for their servants!

Elliott A said...

Let me get this straight. She is sworn in on Jefferson's Quran, then promptly breaks her oath to defend the constitution by failing to assume the presumption of innocence and due process. I am most curious to know more about the voters in her home district who picked her in a primary.

First, I want to remind all readers that near the top of this page, I posted this morning a comment to the effect of, "I warned you all about Rashida Tlaib..."

But I want to take this question from Elliott A on, because it is a perfectly good, on-point question.

It is also a very minor point of pride for me, because when the primary for the Michigan 13th was opening up, I won a bet with another Althouse member in connection with that primary (an honorable bet, settled very honorably after I won).

So the shocking thing is that Rashida Tlaib was sort of an "establishment" candidate in that primary. It's too complicated to go into here, but the MI-13 was John Conyers' seat before he resigned in disgrace over a pileup of office harassment and impropriety allegations forced him out at the dawn of "#MeToo. There were technically two elections with two primaries. An election for the months-long remainder of Conyers' term, and a big primary for the full term in the 2018 general.

Rashida Tlaib focused on the big one, the full term election. It was (I thought) a risky move, but it paid off for her. Somebody else won the short-term election, but she won the primary for the full term. In that District, Democrats win with 70-80-90%. It's all in the primary. (Tlaib won the general with 85% over a completely unknown black Republican.)

So about that primary. Rashid Tlaib was one in a six-candidate race. Her main competitor was Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Two other "name" candidates were John Conyers' nephew, Ian Conyers, and also the illegitimate son of the infamous Detroit mayor Coleman A. Young. Born "Joel Loving," he has changed his name to Coleman Young II.

Tlaib won that primary by about 1,000 votes, and with just 1% more than her 2nd place rival, Brenda Jones. (Jones won the short-term race.) I've forgotton the total numbers, but I think that Tlaib had about 36% of the vote. And as everybody knew, winning the primary meant that she would be the next U.S. Rep. from the MI-13th.

Tlaib had some visibility, and was a bit of a darling for the hard progressive left. She won a Southwest Detroit-district seat in the Michigan House after she graduated from Cooley Law School, was term-limited out of the Michigan House, then ran for the state senate and lost the primary. And then she worked for the Sugar Law Center (a sort of left-wing public advocacy and litigation firm, where they get involved in contentious political litigation) while she waited for the next political opportunity. It came with Conyers' resignation. She got involved in a lot of political protests and other stunts before running for Congress, as I noted more than a year ago in other comments. She was always available to reporters and interviewers for political comments on whatever was going on. So the left wing media liked her, even more than the City Council President Brenda Jones.


Her challengers in the primary were

Talib explains to her young son that Trump has sexual relations with his mother. I think trumps mother is dead so that makes him also a necrophiliac.

These Palistinians are a rum lot, as bad as the Afgani boy fu..kers.

A good reason for demobilizing forces in Afghanistan is because US Army Officers periodically get in trouble for trying to stop their cohort Afgani Officers from raping young boys.

As long as Country Club Republicans put their elitist tendencies and contempt of their brethren above party and principle, yes, we will continue to lose. This is nothing new to them since the Culture Wars have eaten their lunch and pants them for decades because they are too top lofty. Haughty.

One day these Country Club Republicans might actually find common cause with the majority of Republicans. That would be a great day. This would, however, necessitate dealing with their inferiors with respect and empathy.

So maybe not so soon. Chuck loves his airs.

LOL

No doubt Omidyar has promised enough cash leadinf to 2020 that Kristol wont have to continue sucking up for that sweet sweet Soros cash (which he did at the Cuckly Standard).

But have no fear Chuck, as I have no doubt Kristol and his band of "severely conservative" "conservatives" will continue their long, long, behind the scenes collusion and collaboration with FusionGPS and other democrat oppo research firms....just the way you like them too!
