Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Thursday trolled Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) with a reference to the gangster film “Goodfellas” as the Republican lost out in eight consecutive votes for Speaker of the House.
With the caption “Kevin McCarthy walking into the new Congress with a fresh majority,” Omar shared a screengrab from the film, in which the violent character played by Joe Pesci dresses up and eagerly heads to what he’s led to believe is his initiation into the Mafia.
Pesci’s Tommy DeVito appears to realize the deception when he sets eyes on the empty room he’s been guided to, and is killed with a shot to the back of the head seconds later.
McCarthy has lost to Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) in each of the eight Speaker contests so far, despite the GOP’s control of the lower chamber with 222 seats.

Gratuitous South Park reference? Poor Stan.

Well,there's another scene she might want to consider for Hunter: when Henry and his girlfriend were dragged into the station and the detective (played by Bo Dietel,who was once a real NYPD detective) says “bye,bye ****head”

I think it’s funny, because in a sense it’s accurate: it’s his OWN side taking out the trash.

Agree, of course.
She learned the ways of this foreign nation (the USA) after falsifying documents about marriage and details of leaving Somalia.
Now her net worth is $83 million. Salary is $316,000.

Lol that was my exact thought!

RE: want a source....
No one can actually verify a politician’s net worth. Bribes and percentage rakeoffs aren’t supposed to be revealed. Plus offshore wealth is a political tradition.
But here is one I found:

... and McCarthy and McConnell truly believe, as they have done and acted so for years, that they can conducte reasonable negotiations with such human trash that makes up a sizeable portion of the Democrat/Communist Party in Congress.
McCarthy and McConnell ARE the same trash as the Democrats. They are Democrats who simply pay lip service to conservative ideas, and sometimes they don't even do that.

Oh come on. In Somalia, I'm sure she's the cream of the crop. Of course, over there the average IQ is something around 65. In the US Congress, however, it's more like 80, so she loses her advantage.

Nice little veiled threat of assassination. This awful woman needs a visit from the Secret Service. The other side would capitalize and demonize Trump for example. "Trump's violent rhetoric led to the deadly Jan.6th insurrection attempt."
We should hammer her (sorry, Pelosi) with insults from now on.

This is, clearly, a death threat and the rabid communist bitch needs to be stuffed into a sausage skin and exported back to her home country...

I think Ilhan Omar sees the writing on the wall when it comes to her future in the House. The question is, did she skirt immigration laws by marrying her brother? I am sure Jim Jordan on the Judicial Committee will take a new look at that.

It has nothing to do with whether she’s intelligent. She’s just a horrible person.

I know. I was just having fun with how stupid she is, too. Stupid and horrible.

Amen Brethren!
Sadly I do not see the trash going until it all falls apart, 8 to 10 years max. The next election cycle will be the last and no one will believe it. Massive civil unrest to follow. Welcome to the banana republic USA style.
Be strong and seriously plan ahead.
