    Yup. Whenever I interact with posters like @mick fry it really isn't for them, but any 3rd party observers. Maybe it really isn't worth it.

    The level of influence the right wing media gives to this woman is incredible.

    I guess outspoken, young, female and muslim is a perfect storm for those on the right.

    It's so obvious how fake the propaganda is with how perfect the anti-American narrative is for her.

    She's a gay rights activist communist Muslim extremist who loves Al-Qaeda who married her brother and of course just HATES America.

    225 deaths since 911
    Of those 225 deaths:

    • 106 individuals were killed by far-right violent extremists in 62 separate incidents;

    • 119 individuals were killed by radical Islamist violent extremists in 23 separate incidents;
    compare that to the population.
    Now throw in the 3000 killed because “some people did something”.

    It kind of reminds me of 2007-08 vis-a-vis Obama.

    The OG immigrant mooslim commie homosexual vampire demon.

    It must drive Pelosi a little nuts that these four women are basically 1) more well known (or popular) than her and 2) won't take their hands off the wheel.

    Great stats. I and I believe Omar is fine trying to stop all terrorism. However, if we look at which terrorist groups seem to be growing then she is right to put her finger on right-wing extremist groups. Trump was wrong to restructure and cancel DHS programs that had groups focused on domestic terrorism. We notice that right-wing terrorism increased once this change was put into place.

    Can you share the link? Want to understand why there are only 2 types of terrorists.

    Nancy Pelosi is definitely well known. Her best attribute according to her is fundraising from super PACs. Definitely fighting for the average American.

    Name recognition is a hard target to pin down, but my general point is that there are many other Democrats who are now in the news a hell of a lot more than her, and as the 3rd in line for the Presidency and the defacto elected leader of the party, that has to kinda chap your ass.

    The rift between Pelosi and the new left wing of the party is going to have to be reckoned with eventually. Trump won't always be around (or won't always open his big dumb mouth... maybe) to create the common enemy they need.

    Post 9/11 there have been more Islamic extremist incidents than before 9/11 in the US. So something tells me that stirring the hornets nest with two war fronts for 2 decades is effecting those numbers. Notice how the vast majority of those terror incidents from Muslim extremists are from indiviudals with short term visas rather than long term residents of the US meaning trying to invoke a ratio of Muslim terror incidents to how many American Muslim citizens there are is rather disingenuous as hardly many Muslim citizens are involved in these terror incidents in the US. Pretty much all of the right wing terror incidents in the US is home grown.

    So yes, if you remove the context that in the past 2 decades we are bombing and invading at least 2 Muslim countries at any given time, it makes sense that there would be an influx of Islamic extremists. Right wing terrorism doesn't have that excuse. It's purely ideological rather than geopolitical resentment from perceived or real autocracies committed by the US on Muslim countries creating thousands of angry mini jihadist Bruce Waynes.

    Can you list the number of deaths since 9/11 committed by ANTIFA or other left wing terror groups?

    No, i'm no going to play this stupid game with you where you try to convince mentioning 9/11 with a pronoun equates to supporting 9/11

    Definitely. I don't like Nancy. Shes not principled and spends majority of her time fundraising. She is the epitome of establishment politician who kicks the can down the road because she doesn't actually care about policy but rather retaining her position of power.

    It's ad and pathetic that the number one avenue in coalescing power and moving up in the ranks inside the Beltway is by attracting the most fundraising money from large corporate donors.
