A senior State Department official said authorities are taking the claims seriously and investigating.

Child brides? Isn’t that what Muslims do? SOP. I can’t believe anyone might even doubt it.

This is more like the Representative who married her brother to immigrate, though it certainly could turn that way.

"Child brides? Isn’t that what Muslims do?"

Well, yes. But word has it that hundreds of thousands of Democrat males are signing up for round trip charter flights to Afghanistan so that they can be declared "honorary Taliban." Each male is entitled to bring back one child bride. Or, for a few extra dollars, he can bring more than one.

I think that these is an old saying amongst Democrats: Why buy the goat when you can get the kids for free..?

Amazing that the left here embraces Islam and all of its despicable deeds but Christianity is the problem

how about a special line of DO”J”-FIB-BIGguy masking
tape to bind the children to the floors for their raping.
The DO”J” - FIB symbol will make the little children
fear and not move as much, perhaps making the rapes
for the FIB tapes a little easier to make.

Weiner is back, too, Perhaps, HE will direct.

Deep State’s war on women continues.

And the silence from modern day feminists is deafening.

See the little things they do, like child brides in quotation marks? The written version of rolling your eyes. Like child brides aren’t really a thing.

Hey, CBS, Biden is “president”.
