Rashida Tlaib calls for hunger strikes to shut down ICE
FoxNews ^ | April 19, 2019

Posted on 04/20/2019 2:35:51 AM PDT by SMGFan

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) urged her supporters to join her in a hunger strike to push for action to "shut down" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), arguing the radical push to abolish ICE can't be achieved by Congress.

Tlaib, headlining a Detroit fundraiser this past weekend for the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights, complained of colleagues who are constantly "policing" what she says and lack willingness to embrace bold stands such as abolishing ICE. She called on her activist audience to join her in a hunger strike at the border.

She’s so fat she could use a hunger strike or maybe a couple hunger strikes

This sounds like fun. Do they need cheerleaders to encourage them to not eat?

Good! Tell her the record stands at 90+ days by Bobby Sands. That way she at least has something to shoot for, right?

“I will cut down on chocolate sauce with my ice cream. Will that help?”

I had to laugh. A guy I worked with 35 years ago ... that actually WAS his diet. (Didn’t work, though.)


About 20 years ago, we had a patient come into the hospital who had eaten nothing but M&Ms for the past 2 years (at least). She started having seizures when put on a normal diet. They had to slowly re-introduce regular food, plus I'm sure she was severely vitamin deficient.

A normal politician would introduce legislation to accomplish their desired goal.
This woman isn't normal, she's abnormal.

She won’t deprive herself. This is the leftist-with-power MO. Tell all the “little people” they need to sacrifice while you continue to live lavishly.

For example...

Say: We need to stop doing things that cause global warming!
Do: I’m flying to Rome for a weekend getaway!

Sadly, that reminds me of my brother. His diet for years was Reese’s Peanut Butte Cups and iced tea. We couldn’t talk him in to a more sensible diet.

He had a heart attack while playing with his four very small children. He died within minutes.

Remember when hunger strikes were all the rage?

Not so much any more, she is late to the party or trying to restart the fashion. yellow bellbottom pants are next.

Is there some way to get Rashida to start a hunger strike and maintain it until the United States is perfect utopia? It says right here if she maintains it long enough we will take a small step closer to that utopia.

Wanna shut down a hunger strike? Fire up the BBQ.

Work well at PETA demonstrations, too.

She is in Congress. These new ones are activists and do not belong in Congress.

Is this one of those 12-hour hunger strikes, or are they going to follow the Bobby Sands example?

“A faux Muslim, so full of malice, hate, and guile.”

Must disagree. Tliab is as real as they get in Islam since all Muslims are filled with guile and malice and hate for Jews, Christians, America, Israel and anything else that is not Sharia-compliant.

Hope her hunger strike is lethally successful if you get my drift.

You mean the Muslim Lent, when they fast during the day and gorge themselves after sunset. It seems to pop up whenever they need it.

I’m for it - maybe she can exhort some to actually starve themselves to death while she doesn’t lose even an ounce...
